Hello! I'm Phil too! also have a R154, but I'm using it... :)

9 more sleeps to go... just put a new post on the blog over at: http://tbr.landbarge.com it's looking like a pretty busy week and a bit here before we go, tidying up all the loose ends that will need to be done before we leave... we even have a rent inspection the day before we fly out...

Just over 2 weeks until we jump on a plane... The Caddy is still in for service and when it gets out it's getting an alarm and stereo wired up (which looks like it'll happen a day or 2 before we arrive now) Anyone got any suggestions with regards to electrical installers in San Jose? My brother...

I've bought from them before, the guy running it at the time was an ex-pat Australian living in Japan... Good shipping times and prices (it may have helped that I was working for his dad at the time)

Happy Independence Day everyone :) Went to a local celebration put on by the American Womens Club of Perth... This is an event thats been going on for several years now and gets bigger every year... It's the first time I've made it down to one, and we'll most likely go again next year...

It must be about time for me to put another update and a few more details up here.... Since the post above, our government decided to announce a big new tax on the mining industry, BP trashed an oil rig and Greece's economy collapsed... the mining tax and greece happened around the same time...

Over the Foundation Day long weekend, the Cranksters Hot Rod Club and members of the Goodfella's Hot Rod Club as well as a number of other interested and talented individuals gathered at Ferret Boilermaking in Maddington for the second Cranksters Winter Madness weekend. The idea of these...

Less than 2 months to go now till we land at SFO... We've got most of the accommodation booked, in particular, all the busy stuff like Bonneville, the Grand Canyon, Yosemite national park and Death Valley are booked, as is LA and Vegas. We still need to book somewhere near Tahoe, near...

for sure... :) you can get away with the engine block paint on most stuff anyway... and the wrinkle finish stuff often looks like it belongs too...

flameproof's the exhaust paint, isn't it? rated to a higher temp, but not in so many pretty colours... the block paint comes in about 20 colours while the exhaust stuff only comes in about 5... and they also do a wrinkle finish paint in 3 colours... (red, black and blue from memory)

any of you guys got recommendations for places to stay near lake tahoe in summer? we're looking at spending a night there (probably on the south side) on the way from Bonneville to Bakersfield in the second last week of August...

We went out last night with a few mates shooting at an abandoned house...

Approximately 158mph in the JZA70, many years ago now... And just over 100mph in both the ambo and the cadillac... not that quick for any of them really... Supra has a lot more to give one day... Caddy felt like it had more to give, but didn't really want to get busted 30+ mph over the limit in...

Or even the California section... :) Yes, California is as south west as you can get, but there's still a separate section just for California...

I've eaten Kangaroo and Emu, and Kangaroo meat is the most readily available of the lot, so I eat it relatively frequently... The other 2, I haven't tried yet...

yeah... hooters was good... we don't have hooters, outback steakhouse or krispy kremes in perth yet, but we had hooters and kk in the states, will have to try outback next time as well... :)

I wanted to go to one while we were in the states to find out what an "Aussie Sized Beer" was.... Also, I must say that I like how they have quaesadilla's and sangria on their menu, when most of the Aussies I know, have never heard of either... :) also.. kookaburra wings, which i suspect taste...

I still have all my aircon gear in the car and hooked up... however, I'm running a stinger 4424 and haven't put the effort in to make the a/c turn on with it... (or the research either) cars off the road at the moment anyway, so no great rush to get it fixed, have several gaping money holes to...

woohoo... just over 3 months now till we land at SFO :)

I'd go with 'real' once they have hit the print button, it's over... you're getting a ticket and the only way around it is to contest it... how the parking cop in question happened to notice the car in the bay, but not see it drive in is beyond my comprehension, but once thats happened...
