I've had a back problem for the past two weeks and sitting, driving gave me no-end of pain. About 36 hours out of the Astina
The recent Melbourne meet I drove the Cosmo because of the better seats, only gave me grief when the ass-end flicked out on the wet roads :roll:

6 months on public transport overseas. I win. :P First thing I did was drive the ca home from the airport even though I hadn't driven for the six months, had food poisoning and hadn't slept for about 40 hours.

Cosmo was 12 months (one entire rego cycle) and heaps of grumpy. RS2000 is becomming the same.

Loads of excuses but little action. I started giving part payments for three months then asked for progress and stopped the money, BINGO the car became a priority :shock: Cash talks and bull**** walks, make sure your balance is enough to entice.
