But this weather... awesome. Would love to be doing a season in the snow again (except for the covid bit).
How’s everyone else enjoying the cold? We’ll probably have a blistering hot summer to compensate
Cheers

Wait for the weather to warm up, then I'll get in there and start working on the track car, getting it prepped for some new bits I've lined up from Nick.
MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.

Don't you need some rain up there Bennie?

These exhaust issues are going to be the death of me... Hope everyone's lockdown is going alright, we hopefully come out tomorrow.

Anyone seen www.gladybird.com ?
Also, I should come clean. I have a shed - full of boxes we need to empty/downsize with a small space to work on bits. The main work is done outside. Recently it was the Pajeros camber bolts being cut out and replaced. Then getting Ruby Scoo going again, including fitting an exhaust... this arvo was in the shed prepping for a brake conversion for Ruby Scoo. Should be good with EJ brakes on the L series

I think we will be out today too, however 'out' will still involve some pretty reasonable restrictions. I would think the 5k from home will lift to maybe 25k, maybe 1 or 2 people in your house, small caps on dining and the like. I get the sense that the AFL have a little more influence in all this than they should have. Mind you, I don't follow the footy so maybe I'm bias?

Pretty bad when your govts put sport ahead of everything else.
My 20c on the topic anyway.
Now to keep an ear out for today’s announcements that the Herald Sun apparently reported in this mornings paper.

It certainly suggests that the AFL carries a financial impact...
Well we are out..... sort of.
I get the gentle easing of restriction's and I'm OK with wearing a mask and working from home if possible, but not being able to have anyone in your home is the bit that hurts the most.
At least school is back!!

Do the sports win the points.
Just me or is this place somewhat reasonably active these days lol

Hoping everyone is trying to keep preoccupied during the lockdowns. Sydney's one isn't likely to ease up any time soon. The whole east coast is going wacko...
We'll get to the light at the end of the tunnel as soon as these people pull their heads out of their asses.
Wanting to buy/looking for: single genuine STi rim, genuine STi front lip, Corazon or Zero/Sports grille and another OEM grille
Can you hook a brother up? Please contact me now. I have cash ready.

I understand why they're closing down home visits, as I think I saw a reference earlier this week that something like 80% of community transmission is home based, but yes, it does hurt a bit Jase.
My personal opinion on NSW is they need to take a leaf out of Victoria's playbook, and lockdown harder, otherwise they aren't going to get through it nicely. It's been too long already. Politics is at play WAY more than it should be...
Yea, it's been a bit busier in the past few weeks or so. Been good getting on each day and reading some more posts.
Cheers,
Ben

Yeah they need to but they won’t due to their pride of being the gold standard state... plus they’re liberal and Vic is labor - that’s half the issue right there, politics of opposing parties...
It’s good to see more action on the board. I think Joel’s BRZ build and the continuing “saga” of Barbs build is slinging all the heavy lift, but even so, both are good reads with plenty of pics too
And yay, school is back..! Just when I was building some steam with some project work... that’s how it goes I guess. Pays the bills! Best would be if excursions were back on the agenda, we have some ripper trips coming up that are currently cancelled or in limbo waiting to be cancelled

Looked at a 2005 Foz today for someone at work. Just about every gasket was leaking but the rest of the car was super tidy and body was absolutely unmarked!! Not bad for 300,000kms.
He's not willing to spend the cash to pull the motor to replace HGs, timing belt, water pump and radiator (also leaking) so he will move it on.
Pity it was an n/a auto or I might have been tempted.
What you up to?

Shame about the Fox! Looks like it could be a good runner if a small amount of coin and a fair bit of time was spent on it.

Why is it that as soon as someone mentions that it's become a little busier than normal, this place becomes a ghost town again??
Ol’ Murphy must’ve dropped in...

So more work load tomorrow then time for projects - at least the bits I can do from home anyway...
Stay safe ppl. We just can’t get a rhythm going this term! All the best to those with small businesses. The banks should be made to stop repayments during lockdowns - it’s not as if they don’t pull stupid high profits every quarter! That might make it easier for renters and businesses to survive... just a thought.
