Lately

Well after much sacrifice things are on the up and up.......

Me and Kylie have been car less, with out vehicle since May 17th. Since the crash. We have both making do and handling really well, with some occasional help from good friends like Zarin who lets us borrow her car to go shopping. Thanks alot Zeddy!! I was riding to work every single day and riding every where else.

Well i can confirm that as of Friday the 13th of July we have a car again.... YAY!!!

I bought a 1999 Toyota Corolla Conquest 1.8 that is Dual Fuel....runs on LPG and all for $9000. it has a little below the average Km's too at 156000. It is a beauty...... perfect condition inside and out..... is great. Is also made in Japan (although non import) and has heaps of creature comforts.....its like I have a 'real' car for once. hey dont get me wrong the Suzuki Baleno was a great 'Jam Jar', but this corolla is solid and I love it!!!

The previous week I had Friday off work and made it down Albany Highway in Victoria Park on my push bike, was looking at a couple of car yards with the intent to view this 'one owner, Honda Civic sedan that had been catching my eye each day as I rode to work. Let me just say i didnt make it to the Honda. I was stopped in my tracks at 'Pay Less Motors' with the little Toyota Corolla they had and when Steve (the saleman owner) advised it was on Gas.

I was on the mobile to Kylie who was doing some Redbook.com real time research for me whilst I was at the yard and confirmed I was getting a good deal. I basically told him that I was very interested in the car and asked him to do the car for $9000 rather than the 10000 he had it for, and the rest as they say is history. By the way, I really recommend Pay Less Motor company if you are in the market for a new car....Do it.

So after a week of getting a few small things done after the Rac test I had it in my hot little hands.

I have been getting some cool stuff off Ebay lately, a, waiting for a retro Tweed jacket, and also a San Pedro cactus. Ha even a black Skivvy/Turtle neck ...

hey By the way...Radio Birdman has been inducted TONIGHT into the Aria Rock'n'Roll hall of Fame....

Congratulations to them, it has never been an ambition of the band to achieve commercial notoriety although in the scheme of things Im sure they are all very chuffed about the award......ABOUT BLOODY TIME if you ask me, they should have been in there 20 years ago!!!

any way there will be some more to come and more photo's also!!!
