I'm making vain attempts to sell Mitsubishis today. Then again, it's normally a task in vain.

Me too, well working as much as I normally do. Actually most of the guys turned up today surprisingly, so the factory is in full swing. Don't know how busy the sales guys are though. I expect it's not too busy in the sales office.

DRHEMI; yep, it was a very pleasent drive in today. I even left home during the dreaded school morning rush hour and the roads were empty.

Well, I gave myself the day off today, and for good reason. Today I fitted a FPV GT steering wheel to replace my XR6 leather one on the BF. Boy what a difference!

There's another public holiday today? Bugger, working another one. I remember this one time, I had this public holiday off.... :togo:

That means nothing will be open today, and I knocked off early and everything! So I guess...I'll just go...wash my car...or something...? :
