well thats about it im looking at doing the around australia trip and i have a 2.8l turbo diesel nissan patrol with diesel chip and 3inch exaust and the question that is bothering me is do i take 2 quad bikes alone with us that would come in around 400kg for just bikes and gear, plus trailer that i would build custom that would be 2000×2400 and have a box under bikes for storage that would be about 500high and and would be close to 450kg 850kg with out any camping gear cooking gear etc we would sleep in the back of the patrol or in a tent, of
do i leave the bikes at home and build a camper trailer that would only be like 450kg and give us a lot more comfy trip and a lot more room to store everything and leave the car free for fridges, water tanks, cloths, food etc etc, or
3rd option sell patrol and chase a gu 4.2td coil cab and take both bikes and the camper trailer :) might be a bit heavy tho
and y i have u all here how much do u think that the trip would cost first time doing the trip and hopefully wont be the last we are both 22 will be looking at doing the trip for about 6months and a lot of camping in bush etc rather then caravan parks etc im thinking maybe 50 a day in fuel 30 in food plus couple 1000 in case of brakages etc

say mate, no worries! just ride the quads until you get caught by the filth then deal with what happens.
Don't listen to Aussie, he's a bogan and a dole blodger
good day mate

How do I file a mechanics lien on a Boat in AZ?

Posted by admin on May-30-2009

I did work on a boat and stored it now for almost 7 years, this was all based off an oral agreement with a friend. Now the friend is in trouble and the boat is about to be repossessed an he just wants me to hand it over. I want to be paid for my time, work, storage, etc. How do I file a lien so that I get paid too. (I understand any answers are not true legal advice)

I'm not a lawyer, however I do know that a mechanic's lien is part of the repair contract and is signed by the customer BEFORE any repairs are done. Looks like you're out of luck.

My husband wrecked his car and he didn't have insureance. He took it to a repair shop and the man told him he could leave it there for however longwe need, while we get money to pay for it. Well the man is now saying if we don't pay $1000 by noon tomorrow he is going auction off our car,plus $3,000 for storage. And the car isn't even fully paid for. PLEASE HELP!!! SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY!!!!!!
I'm In Texas
He hasn't touched/worked on the car

What there any agreement in writing? Was there a stated price for storage? Were you notified that they had waited long enough and to either arrange to pay for repairs or get it out of there?

If you authorized for the car to be repaired, then storage charges should only begin after the repair is done, the owner notified to pay the charges and pick the thing up, and a reasonable time allowed (maybe only a day), for you to do so.

In any case he cannot legally dispose of your car without following certain procedures. If you have the means to haul or tow it away, then first thing tomorow morning, get a police officer to go with you to claim your property. You will not be asking the officer to get the car for you. He/She will be there to keep the peace and wittness. You may or may not actually get to take it away, but make sure the officer sees and hears all that goes on. Good Luck.

I use photobucket but even if you make it private others can still view photos if they type it in the search engine. I need to know if there are websites where only you can view your pics and no one else.

PICASA from google, and Yahoo Flickr are the best options for you, You have the choice of making your photos unavailable to others…


I think you'll find that most storage units prohibit the housing of animals on the premises as the terms of the rental contract.

I wanted to know what is a good website to compare the storage centres in the UK?

I would recommend using www.comparethestorage.com I got all the prices in my local area and was really easy to use, it even included all of the small stores not just the likes of safestore, big yellow and storage king etc. Give it a go…!

Essential supplies to stock up on while you still can. Anything can happen in these uncertain times. It’ll happen when you least expect it, and you’ll need to be prepared. Natural disasters, Martial law, Economic Society Collapse, Domestic terrorism are just some of the things that can happen. This shows some of the cheaper supply options. There are some pretty good alternative options if your willing to spend the extra money. MREs have at least a 5 year shelf-life. Also a water filter would be great. I tried to add as much info as I could, and the video still went over 10 minutes. There may be a few items missing(garden seeds, vitamins, over the counter and prescription medicines, toilet paper, tampons, ect.). Also there are items that only pertain to your situation. Thanks.

Thanks!!! And Be prepared and stay safe!!!

Dodge Caravan Minivan. It wasn’t so long ago that people cringed when confronted with the fashion of the 1970′s. But with the Disco Decade nearly 40 years in the rearview mirror, the era is experiencing its inevitable irony-driven comeback. So when the Dodge Grand Caravan joined Kelley Blue Book’s long-term test fleet it was greeted with a bit more enthusiasm than one might expect of a minivan. That enthusiasm, due largely to a wealth of optional equipment, also reflected the hope that the Dodge Grand Caravan might act as a portal to another time when custom vans were for the cool kids and not just angry loners. Sure the Grand Caravan does a fine job hauling children to ballet or grow-mulch home from the store, but it performs equally well as an impromptu lounge or for blasting Lynyrd Skynyrd while cruising down the highway with your old lady. Can modern minivans offer enough retro-fabulous mojo to fill the void left by the custom van fad of the 1970′s? It’s a question that deserves an answer and one which kbb.com’s Micah Muzio explores in the following video.

U-Store-It Self Storage Commercial

Posted by admin on May-29-2009

U-Store-It Trust (NYSE: YSI), a national self-storage company offering storage facilities, service and solutions, launched its first-ever television advertising campaign in early April with 30- and 60-second commercials. The company expanded the campaign to 23 major markets across the U.S. in subsequent weeks. The company launched 60-second radio spots in 19 major markets in early May to supplement the television advertising. The commercials promote a lowest price guarantee as well as the potential to receive the first month rent free.

“We are very pleased with the early results of our initial television and radio advertising,” said U-Store-It Chief Executive Officer Dean Jernigan. “In April we realized strong growth in web site hits in the targeted markets, compared with March. We entered 2009 focused to broaden our reach through additional marketing initiatives. In today’s economy, our lowest price guarantee delivered through local television and radio, national cable television and our web site is clearly resonating well with consumers.”

The U-Store-It lowest price guarantee will beat the competition by 10 percent of the price variance and applies to immediately available storage units of comparable size within three miles of the selected U-Store-It facility. In addition to the lowest price guarantee, the promotion includes the potential for customers to receive their first month rent free at select locations. U-Store-It self-storage units are offered on a month-to-month rental term to meet the need for temporary or long-term storage.

The commercials also highlight the role of the company’s local general managers. “Our managers are self storage experts and we want customers to know a helpful manager at each company-owned location is a vital element of our storage solution,” said U-Store-It Director of Marketing Kristi Gubbels.

Viewers are given a toll-free number to call or they can go online at ustoreit.com to take advantage of the self-storage promotions and to find a nearby storage facility.
