I've just driven home and a warning light came up on the dash that i've never seen before. Seems because it's under 4 degrees outside, the car needs to warn me of the possibility of frost. Gotta love gadgets fitted to new cars.

this made a few of us happy my boss found out i was into Escorts and he said he would be happy to give this to a good home,he had it in the back yard for over 21 years so i let a good mate that is very capable of getting it to speed take it on, once home worked out its a 1300 gt 1970, weird thing is it has super badges on the front quarters, and chrome trim all way round the wheel arches, everything was there dash console engine ect... only issue we had was finding the engine no on the block. we thought it would be near plug one and 2 but it wasn't there can anyone help? this will be very helpfull in getting it registerd but overall quite a good barn find and considering all the time it has spent on the weather the shell has no holes it is all mainly surface rust

well today i took my radiator to the radiator workshop around the corner from my work (they are off watt road, in mornington)
$95, to have it "serviced" his word was "we'll pull it apart, clear out the tank tubes and the cores, (high pressure backflush i assume?) and seal it all back together"
since i just got my tax return i didn't mind paying that at all, and ive know gone from driving no more than 30 minutes or so, engine sitting at about 90degrees, creeps up with hard driving or highway driving,
to a happy engine sitting at 60 degrees!!! i drove it for almost an hour and it never went about 67-68degrees! couldnt be happier!

Olympus cameras go very nicely, I've had an E-500 for a few years now. The E-3 was the only camera out of the Olympus range that had features that I wanted. With those filters I recently won them on eBay for $73 posted for the whole the lot of filters.

I repaired some holes in a Rental house earlier this week.
The tennant punched the villa board thinking it was plaster and hurt his hand.
I recieved a call about the walls being repaired in the wrong material.
This bloke tried to smash me with the one good hand he had, when i showed up.
So, i have one very happy home owner. And a bloke with some issues wanting my head on a plate.
Yes, i did go to the Police and reported it, just in case i go missing.
