Leroy Peterson

started taking guitar lessons when I was 8. teacher was a bit average now that I look back, and being young it was a bit of a chore. i enjoyed it but didnt really get motivated or into it until older. stopped lessons once I got to high school and took up trombone. Was in a lot of school bands and met some good teachers. having skilled teachers that are actually people to aspire to makes such a difference in attitude. Saw a whole side of music that just shat on the commercial industry and rock/pop in general, but also saw the life of a professional musician-for-hire. Competed in national level jazz band competitions and you then see the private schools with music departments that outshine your entire school, its demoralising but also made me play better due mainly to fear of embarrassment lol Once high school finished I tried playing with a local big band but I just hated all the music they played. their events were all family friendly and for old people, so I stopped. and without bands to play with or any professional aspirations theres just no real reason to keep playing. Glad I (or my parents) didnt spend big money on a nice trombone. During yr12 exams guitar was just a cruisey, no-pressure fun thing to play. internet made it real easy to find tabs and got back into guitar. Once i got a job i spent a lot of money on pedals, finally getting a few semi-decent guitars and amp. Then i got into low-fi and everything i bought after that was second-hand or abused. Cheaper and more fun. I always liked bass but have never really learnt to play it properly so just bought a cheapy off a friend and that does the job. Few years later an old friend asked me to join his band, all his songs but im not any good at writing songs anyway. Played with them for almost a year, made an EP, played a festival and a few things. I got kicked out lol which was fine. The whole experience really put me off generic rock music (again) and the whole recording/band industry. I stopped seeing live bands and stopped playing guitar as often. The only song I actually liked: I've got an Admira nylon string, a beautiful sounding Takamine steel string and a PRS S.E. electric (which I changed one of a pickups to like a '79 Pearly Gates or something). My pedal collection: My prized ones are the Dr. Scientist Red Radical Reverberator and the Z-Vex analogue loop pedal. Both with custom paint jobs (that I didnt choose). the Reverberator has been discontinued for a long time, so worth hanging on to, especially with its analogue reverse reverb (good luck finding that on a stomp box). TL;DR - meh.

Got income protection insurance a while ago... Went to use it once then I read the fine print and saw how limited it's uses are. Would be a good safety net if you had a mortgage and family though. Cant let Little timmys Wesley college fees get out of hand if something happens.

Lol the interior is pimping. Would buy just to sell the wheels. Almost make your money back.

Aesop Rocks new album: video is The Shining re-made ina dollhouse. its great.

house across from me was vacant for almost 6 weeks. Last tenants were there less than 4 months then one day the nature strip was full of their stuff and a sign went up. not sure what happened. I could tell they had a drug dealer because this POS civic with a cannon would rock up to the house at any hour. 10am, sometimes 2-3pm, sometimes 10pm. at least twice a week. then I smelt weed once when I was taking the bins out, lady was collecting the mail with baby in pram. they didnt look dero. Anyway, lot of people strain between tenants and ask way to much for rent in the burbs because agents tell them optimistic prices or hear what their friends charge... rent decreasing out east yo.

It's like a modern recession, people talked themselves into it. believing it was acceptable to pay heaps for them. Once they become truly ludacris, once they're all snapped up for investment duties, the price will plateau. Not till after America gets access to them though.

Then I'm throwing dice in the alley Officer Leroy comes up and he's, like, "Hey, I thought I told you..." And I'm like "yeah, WHATEVER!"

Fixed

He hasnt said the motor needs to be in good nick....Coz RB20. Pats would come with free "spare" headgasket

I gave them money and they left me alone. Good times.

Mmm Geelong bitter I can taste the corn chips

Thanx 4 invite It's nice to know you care (even though it's your bday??)

Aldi beers are often obscure... Jus sayin

Working alone with no clear deadline... Tempting to just not do any work. But then you get bored. Might as well do work.

They probably buy the parts for their future gtr purchase, but now cant afford it so making profit off their parts

Its not the SAU 34GTR owners that make me sour (well, not all of them) but the people you see at meets and track days in Vic. Again, there are some rare exceptions but there is a reason most of the 34GTR owners are not SAUVic members and follow others in the GTR car club to different cams affiliated clubs.I remember more than one person complaining about how SAUVic wasnt limited to skylines only and wanting events/areas for GTR specific. A lot of GTiR owners have the same complex. ...those dream boats have access to hard to find and very specific gtir knowledge and wont share it with "outsiders". You have to prove ownership of a gtir or they dont let you in. Im tempted to buy one, take all their info and then let it loose on the internet. GTiROZ are Cocksuckers.

Woo I really need to fit a fire extinguisher.... Maybe if I cable tie it to the front table it'll pass[emoji14] Also need a diff. Finding time to drive to scottys while Scotty is actually home/available is always difficult.

You'll thank yourself later.Just get a 33R. And you'll get 50% less wanker factor with purchase.

cant help exactly but pic of gasket: Nissan part number: 14445-4P200 I gave the gasket to a metal place that said they could laser cut me one. and voila.

What website/company exactly? There are a few reputable ones and it would be easily worth their asking price. If someone did it for free would you be asking how genuine it is?

if you're buying a GTR for investment, i feel bad for you son. theres plenty other collectable cars that are cheaper to run. hit me!

My pulsar runs a PAR gearset, previous owner went through the whole process so i can only really pass on what he said and other pulsar peoples opinions... He said they make a good product, but workmanship wasnt consistent (this was prior to 2011). Gearbox was sent back 2-3 times to be re-assembled properly. Ever since ive had it, the gearbox has been a dream (touch wood). Its the best manual ive driven, i love it. Can treat it like a dirty broad minded person or baby it. I do use their recommended Neo gearbox oil though, which aint too cheap.

Apex seals... Good name for a band. Make music with rotary organs. Get a dj to scratch some brap in the background.
