Went for it's annual pre-registration inspection today. Passed. Of course. It was a lovely day, so we took the scenic route home from work, where it got a bath.

Meeting is in progress!!

Oh look, it's almost that time again.....

New battery acquired today and installed. Started straight up. :wub::w00t: Will take it to work for a bath tomorrow.

So, PayPal tells me that I've paid monies to Thomas, but my donor banner has gone bye bye.

I mean, this whole saga could have been avoided if my workmate didn't decide to just bend the locking rods. If he'd left it alone like I asked. I knew what I was doing. So I'll grab a second hand actuator, and swap out the bent rods. Then if the battery goes flat again, at least the door lock works.

Old pic, but it’s so pretty, I had to post it here….😍😍🥰🥰😘

Finally got the car unlocked!! My jumper cables, and the battery charger were both inside. Along with my hockey gear, and all my tools. Got enough clearance to get well under and get the cables to the starter. Then it was time to back up the X5 and borrow some juice, press unlock and hope...

Hank: "It's so....grey!"

Looks right way up to me....

I went the opposite way in the X5, but the timber look just works so much better in this interior.

Maybe I can make a mint off the 2 megapixel beast I have in storage. I'll even throw in the 256mb card with it!

I don't know. I didn't find him irritating. He let Richard talk without interrupting, and some of the questions were quite interesting.

So, this became a bit of a palaver… Workmate decided to come help me with the replacement. Except almost immediately on removing the right wheel, he decided that the 2mm of play in the front upper control arm bush was “100%” the cause of the clunking. Nothing to do with the foam guides at all -...

This is a really good interview. I saw the teaser, and had assumed that it would be behind a paywall.

If you were here you could borrow my BMW to work on...

Those still appear to be this crappy foam shit. The guy at Pedders said they can get them for about $10 each, ($35 each from BMW), but with freight and wait times, it’s more efficient to go to the dealer, and there happens to be one about 8 minutes from work

Right side dismantled. Top guide was completely gone. Lower guide was on its way out. Talking to an large aftermarket suspension place, no one has bothered to make anything aftermarket for it. This foam shit is terrible. The OEM Falcon bump stops are made of it, and I’ve replaced them twice...

As soon as I saw the BA's at the Sydney Motor Show, I had to have one. They looked SO much better than the AU Falcon, and the Holden Commodore of the time. The Barra engines are just *chef's kiss*. At 20, I had no chance of buying one, but I drove everyone nuts drooling at the Blueprint XRs...
