kicker Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Is there a healthy dibs system on Chatham? Like when someone brings something over, others start forming a queue for when the owner wants to sell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 What's the story with wof's over there? Does anyone even give a hoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 WRT dibs: Most everything ferrous here gets fucked in a few years, and there's lots of money here (sadly not mine) so older vehicles aren't greatly valued WRT WoF/Rego/RUCs etc: Government, rental and major contractors (like Fulton Hogan) keep their vehicles legal. No one else much bothers. Police are more interested in stopping drink driving, encouraging seatbelts and dealing with violence than they are chasing down guys with blown headlights or bald tyres. Unfortunately there's a thief here at the moment so they'll be trying to catch him/her too. I may even start locking my ute.... My truck needs a bio-security check before it gets released from the port. Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow. They'll look for things like ants and perhaps bumble bees. Evidently there aren't any bumble bees here (although a few loners have been spotted from time to time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 When I was there no one locked anything. My mates mate was drunk and on cardboard. He took someone's car. He got caught. And he got the third degree from everybody. (Not sure if he was the first arrest of the new millenia, or if it was my mates uncle for being drunk in charge of a horse. (I only heard about it days later cos I'd pushed the boat out pretty far myself) My mate told me people will drive their cas to the car dump and leave them there. Keys in the ignition, and still with the battery in. Some good scavenging by the sound. But when shits fucked, it's FUCKED. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Unclejake Posted July 3, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2019 After 2.5 months and about 3,000kms of Chatham 'roads' the Atlas has seen some adventures. Unfortunately the clutch master cylinder has failed which makes driving a slight challenge, but I ordered a new one a couple of weeks ago and am hopeful it'll get here on the next plane. TBC. The engine's getting tired, and I'd love to fit some auto-locker diffs, but apart from that this truck is absolutely perfect for what I need. I lubs it. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
