A friend in the army taught me to light a match on the polish tine and once the polish stars bubbling, put the flames out and start rubbing it in and buff... amazing look for black leather shoes.

Brylcreem of Gold Wet look... or even Pro-Sport would work if the ads are to be believed.

I hope to God that this is not the OP...

That's the thing... these buggers don't want to admit that they don't have the required skill. You need a mason ho specializes in laying Titanium surfaces.

Warning though, if you do decide to go with titanium, make sure you get a mason who KNOWS how to lay the Titanium... most maka baases will say yes sir three bags full sir, but, its a different technique and the ratios of cement to titanium powder determines the final colour. For us we used 1:8. Titanium cement costs anything from 900 to 1800 per kilo. But you use only very little. We laid 3 bathrooms (Walls and sink tops) and all the kitchen tops with less than 4 kilos. Most buggers will lay it like they lay 'kolapu' but that's not how its done, there is a laying of it, waiting, laying again... then the final motion of the hands to smooth (What they refer to as Madinawa) will decide the kind of patterns you want to show when it dries. Make sure you get the masons who knows...

I bought 4 Bilsteins, all mounts, boots and bump stops for the Alfa for less than 70K including shipping to LKA...

So now we have the TukTuk Lobby, the Bus owner's lobby, the CAr importers lobby, and now teh latest, Hybrid Dream looser's lobby. This is a joke. A few deciding the fate of many.

Shit got serious me thinks... ROFL!!! Courtesy of a FB page called... wait for it... Hybrid Dream Loosers...

Saw a post doing rounds on FB saying to report all vehicles sporting the Red and Blue strobes to 119. How effective will that t be to curb the menace of these assholes?

That's the place to be... they take things to a different level.

Check your caliper pins. If discs are warped, then there is no other option but to change them. another thing, are all the wheel nuts tightened properly?

Your rims may be buckled or get your tie rod and rack ends checked along with all lower arm bushes. Are the tyres a good brand? Macro AutoTech in Rathanapitya can straighten bent wheels.

Ahh.. Ela Kiri... where they talk about Anal sex, Erectile Dysfunction, asking how married people and their sex lives, 'My girlfriend refuses anal sex, should I dump her?', Lets kill all Muslims, Lets kill all Tamils, Lets kill all My3 Supporters, BBS Fan Clubs, I am depressed, shall I cut my dick off, etc etc.

After letting it dry for about a week, we used the No. 800 and 1000 paper to smooth it. Then a very thick layer of mansion white floor wax and buff it off. We do that every year and it looks fine. Of course some stains get in, but it always gets cleaned off the next time you do a buff.

After trying out possible options we settled with a titanium polished kitchen top. Didn't cost a thing apart from the cost of the concrete slabs and the titanium cement. Used an orbital polisher to finish...

Now we know where Not to go for all our electrical work.

What I find it hilarious is why people WANT to buy a 4Mn + car they can ill afford to be stuck in traffic in Colombo 24/7? You can easily do that in a cheaper car...

I found out that there is a Starter/Alternator guy down Robert Gunwardana Mwtha in Colombo 5. Just past where the Old De Silva's used to be when you are coming towards Balapokuna Road from Kirulapana/Baseline Road Juntion.

LAst night I had the misfortune of watching the latest edition of Auto Vision where a Lucino painted in Orange and dual transparent Spoilers/Wing in the back... Why a double layered translucent wing? Is it there for when you need down-force on your down-force?

So... let me get this right.. the idiots are those who mock you for wasting money or mocking you for not living within your means.....

Tell me about it. What a bunch of wankers... no roadside etiquette at all. Sometimes I wonder if they know that the High Beam switch exists. High time our cops start charging them for dangerous driving in the night.

So you can imagine what kind of a scam they must be running... Ms. Pala, if you are reading... I suggest you fix your internal SOPs before threatening legal action... there is a thing called a Consumer Affairs Act. Here, read in your free time and get your 'thathi' to read it too. You can't cheat people off their hard earned money and threaten legal action when you get caught with your panties down, can you, darling?

IMHO, a high mileage car with meticulous service and maintenance records is a safer risk than a low mileage car with no records or dubious records. In Sri Lanka, you can easily assume the following cars are with tampered odo meters, All models of Corollas, Nissan Sunnys Civics, EG8 and EK3s mostly due to the rice factor demand. Suzuki Swifts. Marutis The reason being, there is a constant demand for these cars and people will buy them at the price quoted, and unscrupulous sellers will try to hood wink the unsuspecting buyer by turning back the clock, which is very easy in all these cars. If you MUST buy one of these models, best is to check if they have records and tally them with the respective agent/Service center. If the mileage is unnaturally low and there have been multiple owners, walk away. Flip side , if you find a single owner car, with 6 figure mileage BUT with a good record of all work done, then go for that. You are better off knowing than being surprised later on. TRUE STORY Our company owned a Toyota Camry wit 450K Kms on it, multiple drivers and towards the end of its life here, we got it serviced by every Tom, Dick and Harry and as expected it was a hoot to drive with the car stopping for no reason. Finally management sold it off for pittance, the new owner had the car back on sale, in fact on AL itself within 14 days with 'Company maintained, Single owner, 120,000kms 'Genuine mileage' in the advert He actually sold it with a massive profit. LOL!!! BTW, a cab company driver one day on the way to the airport in a Prius told me that (Owners) every month turn back the clock of their cars by about 10,000 Kms to maintain it just below 100,000Kms, regardless of how much the drive. They do it at the service. So if any of you plan on buying a used Prius, make sure they are genuine and not former cab company cars.

Is the owner's daughter a hottie? Ado, hit her up... as part of the dowry you can learn how to 'fix' alternators for 25k... ROFL.

Can other road users starta petition against the bloody moronic hybrid drivers here? Petition against the way they drive, against the way they drive with HIGH Beams on all night? against the hogging the road?
