  • Leaving for Brizzie in 6 hours. Time for sleep. #
  • Car is warming up. Just got to grab clothes out of the dryer, stuff them in my dufflebag, and I'm off to Queensland. #
  • At BP Thornleigh for fuel, drinks and road snacks. #
  • Open road.. I love the Aussie highways, and large cruisy cars. #
  • 200k down, just on a quarter tank gone, using approximate 8.2l/100k. Not too bad, so far. #
  • Playing a very slow game of leapfrog with a red Commodore. #
  • Half a tank gone, 360k driven, still averaging 8.2l/100k. #
  • Kempsey.. I'll be glad when this place is bypassed. 50 zones don't belong on our national highways. #
  • Dear Meatbags, please stop sitting on 70 in a 100 zone. Kthxbye. #
  • Coffs Harbour, 500k down, 400 to go. Time to find some food, I think. Hello Clog Barn. #
  • Nice fricandel special at the Clog Barn, time to hit the road again. #
  • That's right, Ballina, GTFO the highway. #
  • OHAI Queensland! #
  • Made pretty good time, just on nine hours. The roads have improved quite a bit. #

  • Off to the Apple store at Castle Towers. Intending to buy iWork '09. Hoping I don't walk out with an iPad. #
  • Holy crap there's a lot of staff in this Apple store. #
  • I'd like some KFC, but I don't want to drive there. #

Just got off the phone with Jono at CV Performance, and booked the car in for a bit of TLC before I drive to Queensland to race at Willowbank Raceway.

Engine oil and filter change, gearbox oil (and filter?) change, and diff oil change.
They’re also going to pull our the spark-plugs, and let me know how things are going in that department, as well as having a bit of a look at the idle settings.

While I had hoped to get a set of Mickey Thompson Street Radials by now, my financial priorities have changed, and modifications on the car will be a little slower.
As a result, so will my quarter mile times.

Incidentally, Jono mentioned he was googling for CV Performance, and my site came up. I thought that was pretty cool.

Hats off to the boys over there, I may have lost my first race, but that’s just cause to go further next time.

  • iPad – to buy or not to buy? I'd use Numbers for sales tracking, VNC to control media center. But would I find a legitimate daily use? #

  • This is a test. #
  • Seriously #qanda – Fuck you for making half my twitter friends spam me every Monday night. #
  • So, in a few minutes we "might" have a government. Do I load up some news site, or just watch my twitter feed? #ausvotes #auswaits #
  • HURRY THE FUCK UP YOU BABBLING BASTARD! #ausvotes #auswaits #
  • Man am I glad that election is over. Can everyone go back to posting interesting stuff now? #
