He may be out mowing his property still.

After thinking about the situation,i've asked old mate for the remaining balance prior to sending through the paperwork or i could exchange it with his contact.

See......Rookie mistake considering I've never sold a vehicle privately.

NBC is Rebooting XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS

Because apparently nothing from the 1990s can stay in the 1990s, THR reports that NBC is developing a reboot of Xena: Warrior Princess.

Original executive producers Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi are involved with this new iteration of the show, which is referred to as a "modern reboot." THR's sources also indicate that insiders want star Lucy Lawless to have a role both in front of and behind the camera. That's a nice gesture, but it remains to be seen what kind of real impact she'll have on the production, should she even choose to become involved with it at all. This is all very early, and the network is searching for a writer to bring the heroine to life with "the charisma and charm of Lawless and the smarts of The Hunger Games' Katniss as producers are said to be looking for a sophisticated and smart superhero for a new generation."

The original show was a spin-off of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, and from 1995 until 2001, it followed the battle-hardened Xena (Lawless) and her sidekick Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) as they travelled across the land in an attempt to fight for those who were unable to fight for themselves.

But doesn't this strike you as one of those things that peaked in the 90s and should probably stay there? Even with the involvement of the original creators and star, it seems unlikely that they'll be able to recreate what made the show special for a lot of people, something that appears evident by the mention of Katniss Everdeen in this release; that just seems like a "what's popular right now? Let's emulate that" kind of thing, which should never be the template for storytelling.

Lawless has been extremely vocal about bringing the character back, so I guess this is her chance to make it happen and potentially have a lot of say in the direction of the series, so I'm happy for her. She loves this character enough that hopefully fans can sleep soundly knowing that a Xena reboot is in capable hands, but the fact that this is going to be on the notoriously crappy NBC sounds like trouble.

last i knew he was looking for a spade, probably gone and got himself bogged in the creek again.




sounds right, doesn't get the signed papers until you've been paid.

this so called family member could be any tom, dick or harry. the last thing you'd want is some guy turning up and demanding the bike / calling the police when you won't hand it over due to not being paid, then he produces ownership paperwork and you have your bike seized / up on charges. maybe i'm over analyzing here.



when the cash is in your hand his representative can have the paperwork.

The buyer understood my concern and didn't realise considering this is his first time buying interstate.

common sense says don't go sending the registration transfer paperwork until all the monies in your account.

maybe vk134 or someone else will have a view on the matter and see this post. or you could ask Qld Transport directly the procedure. How do you get a Victorian roadworthy in Queensland anyways? are bikes different? not sure when a Queensland inspection has ever been valid in another state. or is it just being used as an indication of the bikes road-worthiness.


i'd have said to ask shuff's, but haven't seen him now in a few weeks.

Howdy Trend Setters


told you I was going to the Badlands,(no farking internetz),and came home on the weekend to no internetz,I'll

enlighten you a bit more tomorrow when I'm

not on this fuc king thing.Looks like you've given me some vid watching to catch up on Alpha

Got someone coming to look at my wagon Friday night.

Fingers crossed goes better than the last one

Yep,as Alpha said,don't hand over any signed paperwork until you have the money in your hand/bank account,because as soon as he is in possession of it,it is legally

his regardless

of what money has changed hands. I don't

know if you also know that the balance of the registration should be forwarded back to you,he will have to get his own road worthy done,for registration,and if there is a decent amount of rego on it,the longer he drags his arse,the less you are going to get. Just make sure you get your notice of disposal into your authority,ASAP,as the deal is finalized,here in NSW,we have to obtain a Blue slip with interstate rego changeovers,and with bikes,and trikes (which I have),it's just check the Vin,and engine numbers,plus lights etc

Thanks for that Shuffs and Alpha,all i've given him is transfer paperwork so he can get his sister in law up here[Located at Sandgate]to fill it out so the registration can be transferred into her name. The remaining rego has nothing to do with me,it's transferred QLD to QLD.

ABC Shops to be closed, jobs to go as retailer moves online

ABC Shops around the country will be phased out and closed as the national broadcaster moves to an online retail model.

Up to 300 staff employed by the ABC's commercial division through ABC Retail were briefed on the decision in a national video hook-up last night.

An ABC spokesman said consultation with ABC Shop staff would take place in the coming months and there would be some redundancies from its workforce which comprises a mix of full-time, part-time, casual and contract staff.

The ABC currently has 50 stores around the country and 78 ABC Centres in other retail outlets as part of its bricks and mortar portfolio.

A statement released by the ABC this morning said the broadcaster's commercial arm would begin a "phased exit" from its "portfolio of ABC Shop properties".

As part of the new digital strategy, the ABC will now review its lease arrangements with landlords to develop a model to focus on digital sales through ABC Shop Online and other commercial retailers such as David Jones.

The move by the ABC comes as "digital disruption" continues to rock the retail environment as consumers spend their money through subscription services, downloads and purchase goods online.

The accelerating switch to online purchases means the ABC's costs of maintaining its current retail network has become unviable and that it is no longer possible to sustain its network of stores.

"Customers are now getting that content through digital downloads and so all our advice is that the shops are now not making money," the ABC's managing director Mark Scott told AM.

"They've made a lot of money over the years [but] they're not making money now.

"It's very hard to project them making significant money in the future and we can't cross subsidise a retail business by taking money out of broadcasting and investing it to prop up a retail business anymore."

Mr Scott this morning began conducting a series of media interviews and briefings with ABC staff to minimise the potential fallout.

ABC Commercial director Robert Patterson acknowledged the importance of ABC Shops in the relationship with ABC audiences over the past 35 years.

"This decision has not been taken lightly. However, this strategy will create a more cost effective, nimble and flexible approach to servicing customers," Mr Patterson said.

"The ABC is confident that this new strategy will ensure continued audience engagement. Consumers will still be able to purchase much-loved content both online and in stores."

The planned closure of ABC Shop properties comes after the national broadcaster suffered $254 million in funding cuts which saw the loss of more than 400 staff.

The additional job losses will be handled through a consultative process which began with last night's briefings with ABC Shop staff, according to the head of ABC Retail Regina Hoekstra.

"The welfare of our staff will be a primary focus over the next few months. We are conscious that the ABC Shop is close to the hearts of our teams and we appreciate their ongoing hard work and dedication," Ms Hoekstra said.

"ABC Shop is a trusted brand with a strong product offer, loyal customers and an engaged, committed team.

"ABC Retail will continue to adapt to an ever-changing retail climate in order to provide a sustainable retailing experience for customers."

The decision to move away from bricks and mortar comes as the ABC remains embroiled in controversy after the Q&A program allowed convicted criminal Zaky Mallah into the live studio audience last month and question a Government frontbencher.

The ABC has admitted that was an "error of judgement" and the show's executive producer Peter McEvoy has been issued a formal warning.

An ABC spokesman said any forecast losses through the ABC Shop network would not be covered by taxpayer funds.

looked like carbon doors, had that dark ish grey look to them.

just got a quick glimpse as it drove past between cars.

Alex Taylor is the youngest competitor at Rocky Mountain Race Week on a mission to achieve her goal of an 8-second pass! Propelling her down the racetrack is a 1969 TWIN TURBO LS2 Camaro! We’ve all seen Alex Taylor before when she first started racing at the young age of 16 years old at Drag Week, but she is now at an entirely new level! With the elevation in mind, this is no easy feat for any drag racer…but Alex makes it happen! Follow her on her journey as she scratches and claws to her 8 second pass!

so it's sold now / all bought and paid for?

Wasn't just carbon side blades like on mine?

maybe it was the blades, if that car didnt pass as it went past me i would of got a better look.
