Yeh; perhaps it's time he joined all the other RSL pensioners at Yapoon and moved on to driving a Getz or a Gofer.

Something to cheer you up, Cav.. I don't need the pesky light getting on the road, I've had too many beers in the arvo to drive at night:



Sheesh though, one base coat, 3 colour (what Supercheap calls Lightning Strike) and 6 coats of clear. 10 hours.

I like ya new yoot.

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.
