      Thanks guys I went ahead and did it on Friday. @Dee Jay Yes the temp license is valid for a month hope they will post it before it expires. Online licenses will get piled up, I sure hope they won't screw it up. Things will get complicated if I had to explain all this to the police. Once a police officer stopped me and when I gave him the temp revenue license he didn't have a clue what it was 😀

      I also got it after about 1.5 months.

  2. Guys what does this mean. Its printed on the CR book: 527. Importation of motor vehicles in terms of trade and investment policy. Circular no: 01/2018. Can I transfer this car to my name or do I have to wait for 5 years?

    1. Gummybr

      Gummybr

      2018 should not be a problem, if there is any restriction it would be mentioned.

  3. Any recommended place to repair a laptop?

      @asrock Yeah try it- i usually apply with a time buffer in case things go wrong - since you don't need green test certificates either the whole operation is just a matter of minutes

      of course. been using it since 2010.

      You can even renew your license for your last year's still valid Green test. In other words you can use the same Green test for renewing licence for two consecutive years. They only check for green tests validity. Hilarious.....?

  5. Got the funds sorted to build a gaming rig. My concern is whether to wait for 8th gen prices to drop or go with the 7th gen. I'm considering the Asus Rog Strix Z370-F and a 8600K or Asus Maximus Code IX and a 7700. Asus Strix GTX1060 OC 6GB is the preferred VGA card. What do you guys think?

    1. matroska

      matroska

       I'd go with the 7700 ( 7th gen)  coupled with the 6Gig VGA you're pretty much ok for quite a while... Will you be trying out FO4 :D ???

    2. asrock

      asrock

      Definitely machan FO4 is on top of my list downloaded the game already, just don't have a rig to install it on :D I read few reviews, the 8th gen has more cores, threads and cache also higher memory bandwidth, with the right DDR4 RAM you could probably overclock to 4000Mhz and the 8600K could be overclocked to 5Ghz+ but the Asus Rog Strix Z370-F probably won't handle it well, its the only decent 8th gen MB in the SL market. Anyway all that probably won't be much useful for current gen games. If I get a good price from an online store I might go for the 7th gen. Btw machan whats the VGA you going to buy?

  6. Who is living near Matale?

  9. To all Networking gurus out there, what is a free tool to monitor a users network traffic? I don't mind installing the tool on the remote pc, I just need a report of each users network traffic.

  10. Today did a full detailing at Care Point, the interior is fine but I noticed some small orange like patches on my driver side door. its like burned into the paint.The guy who did the cut and polish says it mango sap from a mango tree and the only way to remove it is a touch up? I never noticed this before when I wash my car at home. How do I remove mango sap?

      The Nugegoda one looks like it's run by thugs sometimes. Looks very hectic.

      @asrock Mint Auto City opened recently. They use two pieces of clothes for upper and lower part of the body when washing as well. Although @terrabytetango said about appointments, I got a few wash-n-waxes at Carepoint Ethul Kotte done without much delay without booking early. 

  12. Whats the easiest route from Colombo to Nuwara Eliya? I have always been there via Kandy, never gone via Avissawella, seems that road is not that good.

    1. sathyajithj99

      sathyajithj99

      If you take the Highlevel to Avissawella it is better, because there is some construction going on in Low-level. From Avissawella up-to Watawala the road is a bit narrow and the carpet is also not that comfy. From somewhere near Watawala to Nuwera Eliya via Hatton, the road is newly carpetted and OK. This is a nice route to take to Nuwera Eliya. You find places like St. Clair's waterfall, Mlesna tea castle. The road is not winding as Ramboda so no motion sickness as well. ?

    2. asrock

      asrock

      Thanks machan! Yes the Avissawella - Hatton stretch seems narrow. How about the traffic on this route? I'm thinking of avoiding the Kandy route because there could be huge traffic jams due to people going there for the wesak holidays. But both routes could take the same time?

    3. sathyajithj99

      sathyajithj99

      Always less traffic than Kandy road, I assure you

  13. Whats the best route to Ella from Colombo?

    1. sathyajithj99

      sathyajithj99

      Colombo- Ratnapura-Balangoda-Haputale-Bandarawela-Kumbalwela-Ella is the best route.

      Or from Beragala-Koslanda-Wellawaya-Ella

    2. asrock

      asrock

      Thanks machan yes I'm going to take the route via Bandarawela. How is the road condition up to Ella? I can remember the stretch near Ella was under construction some time back.

    3. sathyajithj99

      sathyajithj99

      I traveled there a month back machan. The road construction was completed. Only the white lines were not drawn.

      Maybe by now that's also done.

  14. Any recommended place to get alloys with a good collection?

      Great! I may need to change my tires too the originals are too puny.

    3. terrabytetango

      terrabytetango

      See if you can get the Modellista alloys specifcally made for the 2015 Axio. Those are dope, there are a few cars here in SL which are fitted with them. I'm trying to source a set myself.

    4. asrock

      asrock

      Where can I get them? Do you think these will be available here? If you happen to know a place please let me know.

  15. Guys where can i get something like this for my garden hose? 346nif7.jpg

    1. matroska

      matroska

      you want just the hose reel?  PM'd you the link cos it might violate forum rules to paste it here

       

    2. asrock

      asrock

      Thanks machan! I saw that, unfortunately its out of stock. I just need the reel because I've got a hose at home. But this one is cheaper even with the hose. Only the reel costs more than Rs 5000/= on eBay.

  16. How is the road from Kurunagala to Dambulla? I remember it was under construction few months ago.

    1. NRX

      NRX

      Still kinda under construction machan, Went to Habarana on a weekday 2 weeks back.

    2. asrock

      Thanks machan, then whats the best route to take from Colombo?

    3. NRX

      It's in a manageable condition machan :)

  17. SLT is down again :angry2:

    1. terrabytetango

      terrabytetango

      I returned home around 9pm last evening and it was working for me then, cos I'm binging on Salomondrin videos these days. Sometimes the router needs a good kick i.e. power cycle to get working again.

    2. asrock

      asrock

      Did that a few times machan, the one in my office need a power cycle almost every day around 5-30- 6.00pm, we replaced the wi-fi router with a newer one but that also needs a power cycle around that time :D Called 1212 couple of times but they never answered. I got fed up and left office yesterday. Today its working.

      omg I remember this. There was that very surreal track with the weird lighting, looked absolutely gorgeous. The BMW M5 was my defacto car in this game, followed by the Camaro.

    4. asrock

      @Mat NFS 2 also had a soundtrack I think but this is way better. I like this track the most. @TB italdesign scighera was my choice.

      even mafia 2 requires dedicated VGA right?

    4. asrock

      asrock

      yeah but Mafia 2 is pretty old, mafia 3 should be more demanding.

      The road through Ginigathhena and Kithulgala is a lovely one to drive on, those curvy bends with the scenery, daim!! Try to keep your eyes on the road though ;)

  22. I scraped the bottom of my car. Heard a loud thud too. Can't seem to find where it got hit. No visible damage or any other abnormalities. Should I be worried?

      Machan, the Axio bottoms out easily because the suspension is so soft. I've hit the ground twice so far. Put the car on the hoist, and check on the passebfer side towards the cat converter. The 4 brake lines converge there and there is a bracket holding them together. That is the first item to get caught on something.

    3. asrock

      asrock

      Thanks machan I'll check on that, and what if that bracket is damaged?

    4. terrabytetango

      terrabytetango

      Toyota Lanka will have parts I'm sure. They already carry parts for the 1st gen Axio Hybrid.

  23. Anyone knw how long will a safari take at the newly opened safari park in Hambantota?

    3. asrock

      asrock

      he he yeah I used to do that for the allion too, but for this I feel bad to contaminate the blue color fluid. NRX I will tr Laughs at Havelocks maybe they have it too.

    4. terrabytetango

      terrabytetango

      Auto Miraj has the blue bottle. I only half of it, even though the instructions on the bottle say to dump the whole bottle in there.
