Playing spontaneous hacky sack with a rapidly growing group of Viet kids at midnight in the streets of Hanoi, using one of these - easily goes down as one of my favourite life memories! There was an innocence to it that I don't think exists in Australia anymore. I'm scared to talk to a kid these days, for fear of being vilified a pedo :/

I guess the trade off / sad reality is that a lot of these kids probably do get taken advantage of :(

I had a similar experience in NZ playing frisbee at this tiny primary school in the middle of nowhere. Was good fun, till I threw my frisbee onto the roof.

People joked about the pedo thing, but there were teachers around and they didnt seem to mind the kids playing with random tourists.

This!!

I play this at my missus front yard and people walk pass thinking we're weird...

Miss the days where I used to meet up after primary school and ride bikes with friends around the suburb since we were all from primary school.

I feel bad driving to so many places now, used to ride so much bike.

mind you, think I used to eat a larger dinner and breakfast as a kid/teen.

nostalgia... but true freedom was turning 18

There is so much truth in this post it's not even funny

what is your current phone, and why change of heart?

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Black 16GB

It's still going strong. Just time for an upgrade, the Galaxy Nexus is a few years old now so want something fresh to make me smile at the pretty shiny.

Oh yeah, you know how I said I ordered the Hero 3+ from DWI for $80 cheaper than Teds Camera Store had it (RRP)... DWI took over a week to let me know that it was going to be delayed 1-2 weeks... I cancelled the order and will go into JB Hifi at lunch and try to bargain them down a bit. Stupid DWI. Their website still says Ships within 1-2 days.

    • 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! 🤣
