Sweet Jesus Rupe......

Today I filled up my petty tank drove to sydney from newy windows down no ac for the unofficial jdm eoy meet
took a bunch of photo's got sunburnt, got some lunch, took some more photo's drove back home with windows up
and ac on since it was a bit warm, ended up doing 336K's for almost half a tank

Cosmo Dude · 26-12-2012, 02:27 PM

Bought a new lense for the SLR today, thought I'd take it for a spin.

Learn't later that the lense cap also has a sleeve that I should have removed

oyeloo · 26-12-2012, 07:10 PM

went out to the reef in my dads boat, went wave jumping on the way out on purpose, wave jumped home because it was rough as. went snorkleing and fishing

chewyryce · 26-12-2012, 10:59 PM

Just spent $1000 on engine parts for my car.. looks like im going to be busy getting this on the road as fast as i can as soon as they arrive next week

TheMAN · 26-12-2012, 11:09 PM

what all did you get?

chewyryce · 26-12-2012, 11:14 PM

arp head bolts, apexi head gasket, tomei pro cams, tomei oil relocation block. other bits and pieces. it actually added up to $800 but then the shipping killed it $300 UPS.

TheMAN · 27-12-2012, 07:49 AM

lol
it's probably $100 less with USPS

TheMAN · 27-12-2012, 11:52 AM

had a rare white christmas yesterday and today mum needed to get some groceries, so the "Supergrid" wipers that have been on her Corolla for some time was put to the test! No snow got inside the wipers, no refrozen snow melt got inside the wipers either... the wipers worked immediately and properly once snow as cleared off the windscreen by hand!

Impressive considering these aren't real snow wipers!

marcs_sp20 · 27-12-2012, 12:51 PM

Sitting at work bored out of my brain... on the plus side I wont be coming back till the 2nd

Looking forward to heading into Brisbane tonight to take some happy snaps of the Storey Bridge with the fishy

swift jimmy · 27-12-2012, 01:32 PM

getting all my car bits ready to take down to Andys tomoz.. Just got a to pack some cloths and think thats about it

Photos will be taken of engine swap but not 100% sure at what stages ahhahaha

Clean_Cookie · 27-12-2012, 02:28 PM

just came home from Repco. spent $300 on two new sets of spanners, but also got my broken 1/2" breaker bar replaced, no questions asked. I did say I abused it alot and it took it like a champ until yesterday, but they didn't care, just I'm not allowed to break another one this week haha. LEGENDS. If you ever want tools replaced easily buy Repco (made by sidchrome). warranty is easier. no receipts, any store. no questions.

TheMAN · 27-12-2012, 02:41 PM

that's what lifetime unconditional warranty is about
all tools are that way here in the US but that doesn't mean one should go out and buy cheap crap because when they break during the most inopportune time, it's a major inconvenience.... as you aussies might say it, bugger!

Ben · 27-12-2012, 02:49 PM

When tools break at the most inconvenient time, its more than just "Bugger" for me haha.

I have no tools. I use dads, that he inherited off his dad who was a boat builder. So i've got tools the size of the boat itself, but can you ever think i can find a 12mm socket? You guessed it. Nope.

I would love a decent socket set one day.

But today, i went boxing day sale shopping with a female. Lets just say, never...again...
