Hi folks,

Long time no hear - right ??

What's been happening ?? Buster, have you cracked an 8 yet mate ?

Duncan, hows the Yellow dildo going ?

Maj - is your car still in one piece ?

I've been missing you all !

Well, about me -

I quit my job at Telstra and now (believe it or not) I am a Personal Trainer. I can hear you all laughing now - How did that fat bastard become a Personal Trainer ? Well, lose 15kgs for starters - Study hard, get qualified and buy a PT Franchise ! that's what I did !

And I am loving it - although the pay is about 4 times not as good as IT, the stress is less ! (Getting up at 4:00am in the morning is not that crash hot)

What else, Oh yeah - the girly has moved in - BOY what an eye opener that is. Shit man, I can't do a thing right, my whole place has been redecorated, the dog nearly got kicked out - Sheeeze - the the things you do !

Moving on to my car - Well, still have the Paj - it's a warrior ! haha BUT . I need something zippy. Thought about putting a V8 in the Paj, but it just wouldn't do !

So - since my budget is small - VERY VERY small - What do you reckon ?

I saw a Peugot 205GTI for $1900 the other day - looked OK - Then I got to thinking about options:

Corida

Starion

Mini

Dato 1600

Swift GTI

What do ya think ?? I want something zippy for streets.

This is how bad it is ...... I hired a Triton Ute the other day - and I though it as a rocket ship. I drove my sisters auto Mirage - and I though it was a go cart !

I NEED A FASTER CAR !!

Help me - I am going insane ! !!

Cheers

good to hear from ya brendan

wow, talk about a new path... thats friggin awesome, you saw the opportunity for a change and it sounds like it was the best thing for you. i'm impressed and envious of your courage :)

hehe chicks, know what your saying ;)

couldnt be happier for ya man

:D <--- icon probably wont work but you get the idea

*EDIT* hah it worked ^^

Jimbo

go the Dato I say! :D

seriously though, easy to work on cheap insurance and proven easy upgades, cant go wrong... i want one!

and with the rest, life is full of sacrifices, but you should only make them if you really want what your after (the girl). So I say as long as your happy, then the redecorations and shit are nothing in comparison to happiness. And congrats on the cool life change.

meh....kaboom its now called d-manning.

Thank god you lost the girl not the dog :D And ti goes to show theres nothing like changing what you are doing for a breath of fresh air.

Anyway. Buy a 4 door gts4 i reckon

Good to see you're still alive - heaps of the original SDU/SAU crew are either missing or just don't post anywhere near as much as they used to...

Anyway, onto the car: WTF is a Corida? Is it as small as a Corolla but with the luxury (and RWD) of a Cressida? If it is, I say go for that and drop a 1JZ-GTE or 1UZ-FE into it for giggles...

Cheers,

Nick T.

What happened to B-Man....well....

First he tried to save Tibet and failed...

Then he tried to save Van Ngyuen and failed...

Then he thought...If i can't save the world...I may as well save myself.

And...so far...he's succeeded!!

Well done with your new career Brendan...Keep it up and best of luck!

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
