Haha I'll reply cause I'm bored too :O

Favourite restaurant... Italian Kitchen in Kaleen ever since Cafe Della Piazza closed :P

Best steak - Charcoal Grill

Fave shop - Portmans!! Welcome to DFO and anywhere that sells shoes, Steve Madden is a very nice addition to Canberra.

Car wash at Mitchell goes alright, always less busy than the Gunners one.

Bestest food van - GSpot!

Fave pubs - All Bar and Kingos

Fav roundabout is that big one near the war memorial at the very end of that road ;)

And Fav online shop is RHD Japan. Lotsa Jap goodies for my car.

Ok everyone else's turn to talk shit now.

Well, I'm procrastinating, so...

Pub? All Bar Nun is close, but if I'm in town there will often be a stop in at PJ's. The Kingo is never a bad place to spend an arvo.

Eat? Agree with Kat above about the Kaleen shop, but since I've moved I've become partial to Mee Sing at the Lyneham shops - CHEAP chinese, always friendly and never a bad meal in an almost weekly visit! Plus they deliver when it rains and I'm lazy :O

Steak? Mine at home, sadly I haven't had a better one in Canberra :P Was pleasantly surprised by Jacksons near Circular Quay when in Sydney a while back though... $14 inc a schooner of Squires and the steak was very tasty.

Shop? Not really my thing, probably Aldi or Bunnings :S

Car? Visit BP every few weeks, Waves Car Wash in Gungahlin is a good enough reason to drive up there every month or so... haven't been to one in Mitchell, might have to check it out as I didn't know there was one there...

Drive? GDE is nice and smooth with my suspension ;) Roads out Mt Stromlo or Uriarra way are nice on occasion...

its just off of Flemmington road diagonally opposite the tip.

Mooseheads sucks... Unless you like waiting 20 minutes to order a drink, being surrounded by teenie sl_ts, getting in a fight with a bunch of 18 - 19 year old wankers who have something to prove, then getting home and having to wash the soles of your shoes because you made the mistake of wading through the inch deep lake of urin in the mens toilets. :wave:

LOL ok I shall leave you boys to your randomness >_<

The pancake parlour is so wrong. I was with someone who ordered a steak that came out with a pancake as well (guessing you'd prolly call it a crepe) but savoury or not that's just weird!!!

Food- Thai Amarin, Erindale

Movies- Hoyts Woden* Tuesdays only :D

Chillout- Mount Jerra* Can't go there anymore >_<

Drive- Back Track, Sutton Rd

Best Food Van- Agree with kat, GSpot* i can never find it though

and also agree with gus about pancake parlour

GSpot= Bacon & egg roll with 1-2 mates

The Parlour= 1am Hunger hangout with a group

Both just as good as each other

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
