Passed my Driver Qualification Test full marks.
So removed the p plates, and took the supra for a spin to Gosford and back.

Congrats Mikey, now to wait till you're 25 and you'll get cheaper insurance!

Today was my wedding anniversary, so did the whole breaky in bed, walk on the beach (with the camera of course ) Swim in the pool and out to dinner.

Tomorrow is shopping - yay

Today is work on car day...again! rather exhausted from yesterdays excitement. First time I'd been on an upside-down roller coaster. Something I'm not keen to repeat.

What do you mean? A roller coaster that goes upside down or one that hangs off the rail rather than sitting on top of it?
If its the latter I agree lol.

I hated all those sorts of rides until I went to Disney Land in LA. Figured we'd spent all that money and I may never go back so I gotta suck it up and do everything. Loved it all by the end.
Still refuse to do the tea cups. That, is an extreme ride. Makes me queasy just thinking about it

Not real fond of the upside down ones...I remember at dreamworld i was pressured into going on one with my friend, gave in, got to the front of the line, turns out i was too tall. FTW!

Today i've got to do some uni and going to claim $2000 back from the government (Thanks Julia) for my dental expenses.

Just one which turns upside-down/loops. I get bad motion sickness so it wasn't great. Looking for fake leather currently to wrap my dash and doors and roof with... It all seems rather expensive!

Black vinyl would be a good idea there. Im using fake suede on my roof lining and pillar covers.

That is why Android and Google is awesome jimmy

I went to the trimming shop, where I was shown a few different products, but he said he would not sell me it if I wanted to use it on the dash, because its impossible to do without lumps and bumps. For recovering the ms seats its perfect but not for anything else. Suede is more stretchy and will bend in compound curves. So I've got another idea up my sleeve.
