Thread: 1981 RR Brake conversion

.......................and after driving around the ring road in Melb to see my father for Xmas I'm very glad my brakes are as good as they are!

I cannot fathom why some absolute F-wits persist in sitting in the right hand lane varying their speed from 70-90 km/h.

I can't believe how much this disrupts traffic flow, to the extent of about 5 near pile up events while I was on the ring road yesterday (20 odd mins).

I can't work out why the practice isn't stomped on.

cheers, DL

Good to know.
I think the Haynes manuals show which markings to look for to identify metric/imperial without dismantling joints to measure the threads.

HAHA!!
Try living in WA mate. No idea why, but everyone just loves the right hand lane here. Bet most would think its where your sposed to be or do it becuase everyone else does.
Kind of explains why we have so many stupid accidents here.
I was heading down to Brunswick Junction here for a couple of days, WOMAN driving a 60 series Cruiser with a double horsefloat attached, grossly overloaded at the towbar, doing 75k's in a 100 zone in the rightlane with about 2 km's of traffic lined up behind. When I got a chance to pass, give it the finger and the horn as did quite a few others, but did she move... NOOOOOOOO WAYYYYYYYYYY... FFS....
