    Fixed.

    This kind of reminds me of an experience I had a few years ago on this website.
    When my car arrived, for some reason it came with an F355 Owners Manual tucked into the lovely crema folder.
    After a little while I realised that was a mistake.

    So, I put up an ad asking to swap the one I had for the correct one.
    Now, the manual I had was genuinely pristine. Not a mark or a spilt coffee / torn page anywhere. It was as new.
    I got a reply and ultimately did a deal with a guy who said he had an equally pristine ‘98 355F1 manual that he would swap because he actually owned an F355.
    Sounded perfect.

    Except what rocked up - and what I still have tucked into that lovely folder - was anything but pristine.
    Not even close.

    But, here’s the thing. It never even occurred to me to whinge or publicly have a big old sook.
    I didn’t even bother to contact the swapper.
    I figured I rolled the dice and sometimes you win, sometimes you don’t.

    I’ve never met Mr. Tracksuit Pants but I doubt he would ever try to diddle someone.
    It was obviously a genuine error.

    For mine it’s pretty poor form to not send a private message in the first instance if you weren’t happy.

    You wouldn't rip anyone off IMO, too much of an old school wog in you :) . You are clueless though, thinking they were original. I therefore nominate you as Head Concours Judge FCA :p

    He just turned up at my work (yes, some of us work Saturdays) and fixed the WiFi. I offered to pay him in Bitcoin, but he was happy with a promise to buy the next thing off him.

    I was thinking of you as I was fixing it :)

    It wouldn't have helped in this case, the second I saw it was a Telstra wifi/router with no wifi LED lit I knew it had to be simple.

    All Telstra domestic routers are set to 10.0.0.138, you put that into your browser an you get a set up page, and from there you follow the bouncing ball ......... in Pat's case someone (not pointing any fingers o_O had disabled the wireless network )


    Then went to the classic car auctions with my boy, saw AJ there and asked him if he knew Giovanni Millard and strangely he admitted he did :p

    There was a 74 Jensen Interceptor that went for $40k, I stopped at $30k as it would need another $5k in fuel to get home and I had no more manuals to sell :oops:
