November 22, 201213 yr comment_637321 I may have just aquired a new project car :) Well, what is it???? Edited November 22, 201213 yr by kickn5k Report
November 22, 201213 yr comment_637324 haha. Well its not toyota. I'ts a 1986 Holden drover, which is a badge engineered SJ50? Suzuki sierra. It was my grandpas (hes just been told hes not able to drive anymore :( ), he bought it new in 1986, its done 127,000kms, never been offroad,always lived in the garage and not a spot of rust. metalic grey colour. They were just going to get rid of it, but i can't let that happen to such a good car, and i think it will be nice to get it back into good condition and get some use out of it. Grandpa will like that. It needs a fair amount of maintenance work done to it (new rubber kit for doors, new oils everywhere, brakes i suspect will need an overhaul, there is an epic oil leak from somewhere, front diff seals are had it, timing belt/water pump). few hundred bucks and a few days work will get it going. Plan is to get it back onto the road with some better tyres and maybe a snorkel thingo, and take it camping/4wd'ing. A fraser island weeks holiday is in its initial planning stages... Report
November 22, 201213 yr comment_637330 Nice one man. I wouldn't mind a 4WD. For towing things and the occasional bit of camping. Would be nice. Report

November 24, 201213 yr comment_637653 Personally i'd sooner spend that much on a hooker for a night, but beggars can't be choosers. i'll just whip out the cheque book. Edit: beggars, buggers. Its all the same, no ? Edited November 25, 201213 yr by towe001 Report
November 25, 201213 yr comment_637711 Good to hear that our troops are coming back home from Afghanistan and East Timor. Doesn't matter if you or I think they should have or shouldn't have, our troops did what their employer asked them to do and some went above and beyond the call of duty. Our returning troops should be treated as heroes due to everything they left behind for the call to help another country. Please don't let this turn into another Vietnam for our troops.... Report

Agree to a point. However personally I don't think we have completed the mission yet. (Afghanistan that is, overdue for Timor due to just being an aerolift capability for them using our money instead of theirs) Edited November 26, 201213 yr by Tume Report
November 26, 201213 yr comment_637845 Agree to a point. However personally I don't think we have completed the mission yet. (Afghanistan that is) Agreed, i don't believe its finished. But then again when will the war on terror be finished. Report

Engineers/Logistics ? Hopefully he doesn't get to see much action during his deployment. On another page - the neighbours across the road, wife just before she went out asked the hubby to clean to floors cause they had some friends coming over sometime today. Yep, so he did.... with the his petrol powered garden blower..... Report
