Hang out the passenger side of a XA falcoon, 12 gauge in hand and shoot ducks over the roof along the Mulwala canal.

Go out with friends for a night out and not be hassled by some Drunk single brain celled moron wanting to fight everything that moves.
Talk to someone at a help desk. know that if you pulled something apart it would be simple tech to reassemble. buy furniture that didn't come flat packed and it was delivered free. |

There was only 1 bin and everything went in it.
Weekend trips to the wreckers to keep the dad's daily working. Take-away dinner was either fish & chips or pizza. Maybe chinese. Australian made car tyres |

Gday guys,
Showing my age now. I can remember paying the 20c toll on the Harbour Bridge. I started working at a garage in Paddington in Sydney and the Garage was a Golden Fleece and Petrol was 20c a litre. When i was driving age and would drive around with my mates my late mum would say to me "if your not coming home please let me know". So i would find a phone Booth that acually worked. |

Haha that’s a good question but I can’t say without checking the damn etag account.
Say I need to get to the airport and you don’t cross the bridge but go under using harbour tunnel before I even get under the tunnel I’ve paid 3 damn tolls @ $7 a pop ! Before the etags and tunnel toll got to $2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Having a go at TicTok here.
View a picture or video clip in landscape mode. Would be nice to see the actual subject without a vast amount of background sky or grass present. buy the Trading Post paper.

Me to. The last Trading Post paper that I purchased turned out to be a total winner. I used to flip cars (buy and sell) and was transforming a Silver 1985 VK 4.9 Litre 4 speed into a Brock SS replica. The car I bought in Ballarat for $3400. It had LPG, 15 Inch Aero wheels, SS side stripes and a cerulean colour interior. I went to the locally cafe and grabbed a cup of java and sat out the front reading the spare parts section. Well bugger me, there it was, listed... the exact parts I needed to finish the cosmetic side of the Brocky transformation. The parts were: 2 Scheel seats $1000 2 headlight rubber surrounds $100 Eurovox joystick radio $250 Single speaker rear parcel shelf $75 Front lower lip spoiler $180 Front Billstein big bore shocks $150 27mm front sway bar $120 Man I was so broke after seeing that guy.. but so glad that he had what I wanted. Ended up selling it. After all was said and done, plus 2 months of solid work. That translated into 11500 gorillas. The final result was spot on. T5 5 speed, factory SS baffled sump, HEI Dizzy, 10 bolt LSD, Correct intake manifold, LPG removed, rear deck lid spoiler and gas strut installed to keep boot lid open, correct trim ($250 per metre, need 3 metres), SS grill and decal, Momo 270mm steering wheel and signed horn pad (Peter Brock), basically, the guy that bought it actually owned an original VK SS. I caught up with him a few weeks later by chance, and he told me that it drives better than his original SS. That made me feel pretty good.
