Yeah I think her biggest problem is that when she leaves here, she has to turn right and go up the steep (for WA 11% incline is steep OK Easties?) straight away.

She stalled there, only because she went from first to fourth, instead of second though. But that is a scary, like seriously scary, intersection. Milk trucks and bigger are rocking 90 through that blind crest, it's a blackspot 'project' it's had a blackspot sign on it for three years but nothing else has been done.

One of my scariest moments, was the day after I got some hardcore pads and new rotors put in the beefour, I was headed to town, probably 7am, winter, and put my foot on the brake AS NORMAL - and NOTHING happened, I sailed straight through the stop sign.

Evil.

That corner is scary.

@Brett: Haha, I know I'm preaching to the choir. It's always worse when the news is telling everyone that the world is ending and the economy is tanking and blah blah blah.

Nik, just take her to a long straight road in the middle of nowhere, with no-one around and practice taking off in 1st then to 2nd then stop again. Just do that lots of times until she's used to it.

That's what I did when I started learning. But it was in a Ford Focus which is bloody easy to drive.

yeah I reckon, man if you abused a young girl for stalling it back up my way I reckon the town would descend on you hick style and cause some pain.. but no shit you just don't do that.

Some dude parked outside my parents place the other day to go to a shop, My sister pulls up behind him to run inside to grab a set of keys and be on her way again.. dude turns up as she runs in side (her car still running) and starts going off his head swearing and carrying on.. my little sister is like ahh sorry was only two seconds,sorry about that.. keeps yelling and carying on... takes off. Dad hears it and goes outside, sister is a bit upset and tells him what happened, Dad knew who it was and payed the bloke a visit at his house LOL dude ******* shat himself and won't be doing it again. Probably not always the right way to deal with things but some people just deserve it!

Weather is nasty down here today! Windy as fcuk!

[B4TT]

Weather is the same as it is everyday here.... inside and climate controlled Which I don't like, I would prefer nice fresh air.

[Adam]

I like my new office, it's part of the boss's house so it's not climate controlled, fresh air! I actually feel healthier! Used to cough all the time and have a runny nose and shit at my old office.

No a/c though.... Summer will be a bitch! But at least I can walk to the beach!!!

Local guy just offered me $8k for the Outback pick up this weekend

I declined and asked to talk low 9's and he said $8k was his absolute maximum.

This is the only legit offer I've had on it - surely I can get more than 8 for it!

Weather is perfect here, sunny no wind.

Meant to be perfect weather for the weekend. Got a cousins wedding on tomorrow arvo/night, and then first final of footy on Sunday.

Depends how desperate you are to sell it Morgs.

Sounds a bit low, but I have no idea what the Outback market is like.

If it's anything like the B4 market it will be worth about 5k by now.

[Morgan]

I'm torn

Not desperate enough to take $8k

But it's been on Carsales for 2 months and that's the first call

[ams]

If he wants it, he will call back.
