A friend dropped off some Krispy Kremes yesterday, honestnever had them before in my life. Still, donuts equal “feel good food”. I thought of the Wiz as I ate a pink one.

The NZD to AUD exchange rate was good to us today, 9 cents difference at the mo. Either our South Pacific Peso is rising, or sadly yours is heading south.

Passed 1000km's on the odo of my car and just like that, i now have full boost (14psi)and a vehicle capable of speeds i am not gonna mention on a public forum.
And i have no doubt this is a low 4 sec 0-100kph car manually shifting at 5500rpm instead of the redline. I have asked the question everywhere about certain characteristics of this car and particularly the run in procedure and possible hobbling of the ecu by KIA but this morning i found out for myself  Cannot wait for my NEW ecu to get here...

Yesterday.
Petrol was cheap Tuesday, put 50 litres in the XC because I want to go to a car show Saturday. Went in to pay and the young woman behind the counter says, "That beautiful car on pump 7" "Thankyou, yes need some fuel for a car show Saturday I'm going to" "I'm working Saturday, can you come through again?"

Enrolled for a free TAFE short course today. 12 week program, run online, 3 and half hours per session.
The resultant qualification is nothing significant but may just be the first stepping stone to the new chapter of my life.

When I drive the XR8 along the beach front on a sunny day, the car gets lots of second looks from young woman. The trouble is, when they notice the old bloke driving it, I only see a look of disappointment on their faces. Oh well, such is life.

I put my car in for a service and I was waiting for the call to say you need to replace this or that but nothing! Just a standard service which is always good.
It is 20 years old next month daily driven and flogged with original engine, gearbox and clutch so I always get nervous  The plan is hopefully get it to around 300,000km and one more set of tyres before buying another car for my 40th

Went to Dapto pick a part, came out with seven door seals to suit the BA and FGX, a BA Fairlane chunky steering wheel and a Corolla mirror for $100.

Was looking for a cheap and rough bumper to keep the Commodore repair legal while I prep and paint the correct one.
Found a genuine SSV front bar with fogs and harness, never been crashed, repaired or oversprayed, $100. It needs a refresh at this time in its life but I’m confident of onselling it when no longer needed; should even come close to a profit. It’s like finding a tidy B-series XR front bar for $100, doesn’t often happen. |

Buttoned up some minor annoying leaks on these goofy twin oil pan gaskets. The joy of having use of a flat concrete driveway.

Melbourne City getting smashed last night in the A league final. Karma for the CFG selling out to the APL.
