hello all,

wow that was right up there in my dodgy nights. Coming back from Subi pub n dinner and 3 glasses of red wine - i run into a booze bus ... so i get breath tested and i was over but not by much ..... so i get put in the booze bus - copper jumps in the car that my friend Mel was still in (and had to quickly cover the bottle of wine sitting in front of her) and with a big grin on his face drives it off and parks it (dont know why i almost couldnt get it started this morning POS but thats another story) so im sitting in bus chatting to the officer that tested me .....talking about everything -reaaally nice guy and if he was about 8 years mmmm younger yummy actually all the copper guys were pretty hot .... so we chatted for a while then he tested me again ... i was still the same - he goes its just probably residue still left in your mouth cos your last drink was only 20mins ago .... so we chatted some more ..... then took me in to see anyther officer which gave me the final test .... dont pass this one i get an infringement ... haha the copper asked me how many points i had left on my license i said "three" which he raised an eyebrow at me and i go "Well i drive a fast car" .... and he laughed. Tested me again and i was under so they let me go no fines, no demerits, no yellow sticker .... it all was pretty cool actually they were a good bunch of guys.

then ....

we get back to mels house- was only spose to drink the wine and just watch movies or something but her housemates were going out to the Lookout ..... so we ended up sculling the bottle of wine and comming ...... after a lot more drinks - i found out that red wine, white wine and beer just really dont mix too good .... and went to sit down on the couch but i fell asleep and the girls left me by myself .... apparently according to the surfy guys next to me i had been out to it for about 30 mins ..... and three bouncers were standing around me trying to wake me up ..... eventually i woke up and they told me if i didnt keep awake i would be kicked out .... i just wanted to go home -had no idea here everyone was they just left me there passed out anything couldve happened!! But i felt fine after my little sleep .... talking to the guys next to me and they couldnt believe that i only had alcohol cos apparently the bouncers were shaking me pretty hard haha and once i woke up i was fine and talkative and it was all good. Eventually mel came back and i told her to grab chantelle etc cos i really want to leave and *eventually* they did. Had Maccas on the way home woke up this morning feeling a little dodge but fine .......... so im now off to pay my insurance and do the shopping.

Have a good day peeps.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
