Just picked up a tradie trailer for $450, old ladies son left it there when he moved out so she just wanted it gone. I'll get my painter mate to paint it same colour as my ute (BF Bionic blue) and I wont have to work out the back of an FPV ute anymore! can't wait.

Dude! Really, there is no downside to this....

Watching the V8's in HD (finally), not as many ad breaks & the best part? Not having to put up with Crompton's commentary & dobbing in everything a Ford driver does wrong. Hope ONE gets the rights in the near future!

Finding that my Mk2 2door has absolutely NO rust in the floors or pillars after doing an exploritory today. This means that the only rust I need to repair is in the right front guard above the headlight.
Who wants to castrate me for building a gravel rally car out of this one???

You only get castrated if you bend it on your first time out.

In early 1990 pulled the engine, gearbox and front end out of my 4 door RS2000. Since then the car has been tucked away and the parts scattered in boxes all over the place.
Hopefully later this week the engine and gearbox will be refitted.
....can't hurry these things......[:I]

Got offered a huge job opportunity tonight. too good to refuse in my opinion. However the downside is its 4 days on 4 days off living away from the missus and she wasn't too keen on the idea til she heard the wages and now she is coming around to the idea!

Kizza, 2 words, take it. Try working 5 weeks on 5 weeks off. My family and i are well and truly used to it, never easy going back to work though. But it's what keeps the money comin in. You'll get used to it and it gives you and the missus time apart and as they say absense makes the heart grow fonder. Good luck with it.
