Updated original 'to do' list,
did some minor work today replacing bulbs and took her for a spin around the block a few times... seems to be using a bit too much fuel... might as well ad changing the o² sensor to the list

saving for my ~$700 camskill invoice and should be able to order all the bits i need to get started next week...

oh and almost got the front taken off Tweety this arvo by an indian bloke who didn't stay in his lane when we went round a corner.... gave me a short quick reminder Tweety doesn't have abs :s

Gah, I hate it when people do that. It's like they can't see that the lanes even exist.

i know that corner very well and im used to people blindly letting there car drift wide on it but he was just cutting across my lane to get into the next one i didnt hit the horn and he ignored me at the red light so he knew he was in the wrong... woulda had him on the dash cam if i was in Vixen

Why is it that younger sisters always seem to be taller than the older sister?
