Thread: Holden LS3 and 6 Speed Auto Install Kens’ 2012 110

Sorry to be the one to point this out, but I'm pretty sure that going to see your vehicle is not one of the four lawful reasons to be out and about in Melbourne at present. Even picking it up. I'd be surprised if LRA would be complicit, but then I guess $50k buys a fair bit of looking the other way.

I think having you're car is an essential thing.. How else would you get around to do those other essential things.

Yeah sorry to come across as a wet blanket, but I am currently spending most of my 14-hour shifts in a plastic suit, doing lengthy decontamination procedures after every case and frequently being forced to withhold treatment from sick patients. And then having to justify myself at a police roadblock to get home from work. I'm very keen to see an end of it and not very tolerant of behaviour that flouts the rules intended to bring that about. But not altogether without sympathy for those who are being stuffed around by said rules.

27 years in the military and trained and worked at the Human Isolation Unit at Fairfield Hospital Melbourne during the HIV/AIDS outbreak in full isolation suits complete with its own air supply, I’m pretty good at following Public Health directions, especially during lockdown.

It would very hard to accuse me of “flouting” any rules.

That being said, the Victorian Government allows vehicle maintenance from workshops etc to occur, so I’m not breaking any Victorian lock down directives with my one return trip.

I don’t think that “patient” did very well

Ha, no Mike!

We actually had no real patients as it was set up for things like Ebola and COVID. Seriously exotic contagions.
The following Government shut it down. Bit of a mistake there!

My girl friend at the time was shot by the Hoddle Street shooter, while playing up on me with another bloke. Just minor shrapnel in their hands etc from broken auto glass.

We had to burn our uniforms after looking after the HIV patients at the end of the shift, cleaners, kitchen staff etc wouldn’t come near them!

Also had the last iron lungs in Australia there, that was a very humbling place to work.

A fascinating time.

I spoke with Andrew this afternoon.
They were mucked around again with the shift indicator install into my instrument pod.
It arrived today, so it’s now looking like next week for completion.
It is what it is.🥺
