What cheeses me off

Were you able to un-redact the image @Stone ?

Redaction isn't very effective; with a bit of focus I can make out the rego.

While more difficult, it's also reflected in your bonnet.

Didn't really have to redact it really; not exactly enough to go on to doxx someone.

Same here, albeit the image is massive on my Ultra Wide display and the redaction is translucent.

I wasn't lucky, observant. We sat together for the 2+hr journey at a sedate 110-113kmh. He took all the stress out of the journey as i simply followed the leader.

Clearly a typo then as I believe @anat0l obviously saw the same thing I did in your earlier post....

I set the cruise control to 140 (i.e. I reproduce whatever speed he is doing) and sit behind him until he turns off at Gundagai.

General comment? Don’t think we know the insurance status of the car to which @blackcat20 is referring, and if that was in reference to my earlier post, I can assure you the vehicle was fully insured (albeit I did not appreciate the technicality that would apply at the time). Sorry if I’ve misinterpreted your post.

all good. In SA I don't think you can insure a car that isn't registered. And the council would likely move it on eventually if so. Happened just recently near us.

When I was overseas for a few months I didn’t register my car but it was insured. Not on the street though

I took that to mean that the dynamic cruise would then just match the speed of the BMW up to 140

Interesting. Registration includes third party personal injury. Which comprehensive doesn't cover. So in SA anyway, if someone somehow injured themselves on an unregistered parked car in the public space ( - hey, it's a crazy world) then owner of the car is responsible. Which was my original comment.

Apple updates. We have mobile phone in airplane mode while overseas and only use wifi. Arrived into Bali yesterday. Husbands phone updated last night. It switched off airplane mode and which has now scored us an Optus fee for data. Leave our freaking settings alone Apple. You do not know what we want. Not a huge cost to us but some some unkowings it could cost them a motza if they didn't realise.

It was in the basement car park so I didn’t worry about the hoi polloi being down there

Bingo @TomVexille , you got it. I was just hoping he didn't turn on the lights and siren and take off after someone!
It was educational to observe a highly trained and defensive driver over a prolonged period of time. Constantly buffering for instance and very smooth.
I think car and driver were transferring to Gundagai for a campaign this week which is partly why I wanted to post the image for any AFFers driving the Hume. Personally I like to see highly visible HwyPatrol and more of them as I believe they are a great deterrent to poor behaviour.

Edit: MrsP commented she wondered if he was getting tired of me shadowing. Before the comments start I wasn't 2 car lengths off his tail.

Hotel pre checkin. Will never do again. Just spent a frustrating 30 minutes filling in info, configuring their date structure, had to use a VPN as they don't like Bali, signing, loading up passports. WTF should we have to do their work? Outcome? Not completed and won't be until we arrive.

Aussie post contractors that dont show up to deliver parcel but state was "unable to deliver" and I get an email saying it was at our local PO ready for pickup at 11.19am

We have 4 cameras in the front yard at different angles inc footpath (hubby is addicted to them) and hubby and tradie nephews were in the front yard today and no one attempted to deliver. Get to the post office and they cant find the parcel as its still out with the driver.
