That image makes me cringe so bad, mostly due to no jack stands

My dad's old 1996 LandRover Discovery came with one of these:

It was pretty good!

So am I the only one who's first experience jacking up a car was with one of these?

That's not a jack... this is a jack!

I've inherited one from my father, too. Also good for pulling out stumps.

Well it looks like that box, so knowing VAG it's actually behind that little access hatch on the left, with the terminals on the sheet metal side of the compartment.

Surprise!

Rain + P plates impressive damage:

Hah, where was this? I've been driving up the pacific highway and just got into Byron Bay today. The rain was crazy heavy for about 10 minutes and then just disappeared again.

So sensitive up in here, Christ. AVE rules

Ave got pretty boring when he stopped tearing down tools and leaned into his CnC stuff.

So are you AvE? Cause he just now posts a vid about the same socket set:

quoting this post without the video so people of all opinions can enjoy the post without being exposed to incredibly offensive language.

Disclaimer: this is a ridiculous drive and not one anyone would ever really do, and I just searched around to see what I could find that was the longest.

Kununurra to Albany, Western Australia, 36 hours, you'd probably go insane of boredom around half way.

You'd need to go to the Sakha Republic to get a bigger state, but I think most of that has literally no people in it.

edit: haha, Google's driving coverage drops off pretty quickly north of 65�, but apparently the roads in that part of the world are not as good.

I did drives like that with my dad when I was a youngun up from Bunbury (south of Perth) inland to the gascoyne/pilbara. Of course we'd tow a caravan and it was school holidays so it'd usually be a week long trip at least. We'd usually go one way inland and the other way coastal to mix it up.

But yeah it's a long boring drive between somewhat interesting places, rocks, parks, etc.
