You reminded me of a time I had to march myself to the front office after telling the girl sitting behind in class to shake her fanny. Teacher not an Elvis fan I guess, she was horrified

Project number four, or is it five?

Not happy Jan





Down at the RSL the road slopes from right to left when parking nose in.

I use my foot to push open the driver's door and hence leaving foot marks on the trim.

The strips are thick but not wide enough for my usage and they only have two thin strips of adhesive underneath.

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

It's for people who have to kick the door as both hands are busy helping them get up out.

Now, I hate SUVs as much as the next bloke.

But I see a strong case for a Ford Territory to 'assist' with the getting in and out of it thing

I'll give ya a carton of Winnie Reds, a slab of VB and $2000 my way and I'll take the ute off your hands

You can even see him out the front of the RSL laying down the law in Google earth street view; centre of a group of three with his back to the road.

But the "Food for Thought" Cafe across the road must be a risk for him; Cav's probably traded every smart thought he had to them for cakes and coffee and they now have a storehouse filled with R rated bikini clad chick thoughts. I think he also appear in front of the Capricorn Coast Mirror about to cross at the crosswalk waving at the Google camera car (tubby gentleman in shorts) . Who's the child with you Cav?
