So the missus has just informed me that she needs a holiday and has booked us a flight to the middle of nowhere to visit family... i really wanted to drive there but it was a last minute decision by the boss :(

Will be there over xmas new years period anything that i shouldn't miss out on while I'm there, Ive been told it gets pretty dead as everyone leaves to go visit relys Etc.

But Im stuck there for 10 days so will need some entertainment to prevent the relys from driving me crazy.

How longs it take to drive to that big rock can u get there and back in a day..Anything else worth seeing..

Cheers

Cool so the missus got out just in time to take the trip up here and I now understand why no-one has taken the time to reply..

There is just so much going on here, there is a dust festival on, plus a sunbaking and fly swatting contest and the shopping centre is so busy that most have closed their doors, Im guessing they couldnt handle the Xmas rush..

The Gap View hotel gets pretty exciting around 2pm but dies off just as quick, and the cue at the Drive thru bottle-O was a record breaker im sure, im talking down the street here..Bojangles wasnt half bad either and I tried my first NT draught here and well, it definately tasted like beer

Apparently theres a big rock and some desert parks (not sure what that means yet but i guess it is a desert with swings) out here somewhere thats about the most exciting thing to do so maybe i should go do it.. :thumbsup:

NB..i have seen a white soarer a blue wrx and a black rx7 but no skylines....

Dude it's too hot here to do anything at the moment. I live here and have a R32 GTR with 520kw at wheels and a R33 GTR with 330kw at wheels. Probabably about 7 GTRs in town including my two. Also my missus drives a blue WRX, heaps of WRxs in town (probably 30 or so) Most peole here drink XXXX too mate.

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
