:dodgy: bloody cars, just got about half way home and the exhaust went so now I drive a stock car, yeah sounds really good on the bridge and under the car park with excellent cackle but I suppose I'd better fix it before plod gets me..there's always something that's gonna cost ya money and with Melbourne and Sydney coming up very quickly I might have to sell a few things other wise I can't see me making either :(

WTF next, now I just get the green slip so there goes another $400 so my trips are starting to look like they might get put on hold as fuel will be a big enough killer with out adding accommodation..anyone else wanna slip the boot in while I'm down as I'd prefer to get it all out of the road now, man just kill me and be done with it :( Coupla days!!

Hopefully you have only blown a flange gasket, then it wont cost much to fix.

Nah mate I know the sound as it broken before and I welded it up but this time I might either put a straight bit of pipe or a hot dog as it's blown a big hole and probably too big too weld but might give it a go first, might just go with the straight, bloody cars.

Just bog it up with some muffler putty.That will sort it put for a while
It\'s not about who you know it\'s about what you know

It's a thought Stevo but you lot get away with blue murder up there :winkextra: Bog normally doesn't last long and my weld has lasted quite a few years and considering I use a standard ute as a 4x4 it's held up pretty good really.

Seriously tho mate get hold of a cheap gasless mig and use the low setting and you can weld coke cans together.
Bloody handy on small thickness steel jobs, pretty much the same as okcy welds :ok:

See this is the problem mate, I'm broke after my shopping spree but it was well worth it but I'll look into a small mig as it would come in handy :)

I just used my little welder last time, hence the bird crap weld :laugh2: but it did the job so happy enough with that.

and remember if your doing anything like this ALWAYS disconnect the battery :winkextra:

 I have a nice neighbour , he just sent me over one of his pet snakes to look after , I don't know what kind it is , we have green tree snakes , swamp tigers , and red belly blacks , that live in the pineapple farms around us so I will again have to sharpen up my shovel again ..    ,, kel ,,
take care because we care ..

Must be the season.  Just taking the garbage out and ended up doing a tap dance around a small 60cm something or other.  It was light colour and very keen to get away (as was I) so don't think it was anything too dangerous.

Have a look at the facebook page "Snake Catchers Brisbane........." to see what types are out there.
