Every time I take my SE out someone tries to run into it, so, I bought an SP 25 as a runabout.
Far too soft in the suspension so I ordered a
Rear Bar
KONI shocks
L HD springs
All from different suppliers
Bar arrived with the wrong D bushes
Springs are lost in transit somewhere, still waiting
KONIs were delivered to an address in Tasmania, I live in Hervey Bay
WTF is happening out there

rumor is


everybody is dodgy. in particular on the Gold Coast.....

3 out of three
This year I bought a NAVMAN, would not work, a Bose sound system ,faulty, and a Canon digital camera, faulty.
That makes 6 out of 6,getting a little paranoid

I think Lokiel has both the same cars as you, with the same problem.

Close, I have an SE and SP23 - I certainly seem to be having the same sort of bad luck lately though, Ol' Faithful do-everything computer died and bedroom "water feature" from the ceiling appeared a few days later
Can't sleep now, wondering what #3 will be (maybe it's a good thing that Gina remains off road for now).

Lots of You Only Had One Job/You Had One Job/One Job examples on the net.

If you want to talk "Dodgy" have a look at what is happening with so many Queensland Regional Councils in the SE corner being investigated.
It would be nice to delude ourselves that it is a QLD phenomenon, wouldn't it?

Well at least Vic can brag about a union official dobbing in another but then getting fried herself. In the process admitting that she gave the guy questioning her a charity shag in a denists chair..,..


WTF was she thinking?


speaking so SE's & QLD SE.....

The original Dodgy Days started in Qld, so it definitely is a Queensland thing !

my memory is they started in Melbourne. By Matty King & his mate with a red NA6 which eventually changed to a NA8 (I forget his name). NSW got diseased shortly after but QLD definitely took it to another dodgy level with engine changes & Wingz. Not only that they also did it over several days. With Huge attendances

QLD certainly achieved Bonus Level of Dodgy Days & dodgyness. But the original concept belongs to Vic.

OK. We are all Dodgy but Queenslanders are the Dodgiest !

Speaking of "Dodgy"...

I originally ordered a Prusa i3 MK2S 3D printer from the Czech Republic which was well under the A$1,000 Import Duty.
Prusa was flat out working on back-orders and getting the kinks out of their new MK3 version so it took a while so I decided to pay extra for the new MK3 version since delivery was going to be about the same time anyway and "newer is always better" with 3D printers.
The extra cost was PROBABLY going to push me over the A$1,000 Import Duty limit but there was no mention of this so MAYBE I was OK, it was all down to the exchange rate?

Tuesday DHL informed me that my3D printer was going to arrive Thursday, no mention of additional Import Duty fees - WooHoo!

Wednesday DHL informed me that the goods were valued at A$1,018 and that I was going to have to pay A$243.04 Import Duty fees - FARK! over by A$18; now I have to go through a bunch of crap to get my goods

I'd been waiting for the last of the "Bad Luck Trifecta" to arrive, I reckon this is it
