Been run-down for a couple of days, just wearing a lot of hats and an ear infection got the better of me. Friend dropped off a “care package” not long ago; gado gado, bolu kukus and the inevitable krupuk (faux prawn type). Wonderful!

Its been 6 weeks, and im still happy with the exhaust i put on my car. Even my brother who has had a flotilla of cars over the years had nothing bad to say. All his cars he has put exhausts on, headers all that business, so he is heaps critical of any **** sounding car that drives past. But this $100 catback was a great unknown to me, hence why i only fitted it after having it for 4 years, and putting it on because a minor leak in the stock exhaust, meaning it failed rego. But the known good was no rust, mandrel bent 2½ in mild steel, 2 hurricane mufflers, good welds. The unknown was will it sound ****? Nah, its good, at idle you can hear all cylinders firing, loud enough, but not too loud to be abnoxious. Unlike the ED my brother has with headers and 1 muffler on a 3 inch cat back. Cruising at normal rev ranges, doent drone or reverberate. Louder then a poofters fart, but easily not too loud to deal with. Getting on it its louder, but sounds not terrible. My brother has only said good things for once. Now he is rattling on that i should slap on a pacemaker header etc. Thats not happening any time soon if at all. But yeah, for $100 off a written off xr6, im yet to complain, except about the twin chrome tips. Whens the last time anyone has seen a 6 cylinder b series with an exhaust that doesnt have twin chrome tips? It just doesnt look right on a fairmont ghia.

Driving into work this morning, passing Merewether beach, stopped at pedestrian crossing, was a fantastic condition like new Mk 2 escort in white, in a station wagon.
Like showroom condition. As a teenager I so wanted a Mk 2 escort, never seen a station wagon Mk 2 before. Beautiful looking car.

Out for a Sunday cruise in the Mustang yesterday, I pulled up next to an FG MK II GT in beautiful Vixen red and fruity sounding exhaust upgrade.
I turned and gave the guy a big thumbs up and received a big smile and wave in return. Two red, 5 Litre V8 Fords enjoying the spring sunshine.

Thanks pretty stoked about it.
Pity they don't show the flagstone entrance at the door properly.

Just got the Pug clutch cable clip re-fitted.
This “simple” exercise was designed to be done with the pedal box removed from the car. In-car, it just takes endless attempts and sundry tools to gently lift, align, swing up and pull into position. Like doing a Barra starter with tools held in your toes, for the sake of comparison. |

Nailed the half-weekly shop in near record time, incorporating a trolley someone had abandoned in the Aldi carpark. So I got their dollar when I was done!

Without the insurance marina's (and boatyards) are no longer allowing them a berth. Hence why you see so many stuck out on moorings for sale.

Came back over via the mountain track this morning hoping to find the elusive Fringe Lily.
Lots and lots of tree ferns and native Iris but did manage to spot this little clump growing nicely atop of Mt Barambogie. Such a delicate little flower that doesn't last long in bloom.

I spoke to my kid for ages today. Hes a funny little bloke. For his first car he is specific that he wants a 2016 mustang with the 6 speed auto. But he has accepted that he will learn to drive in my car. The kids 11. So he likes that my car has an intake and exhaust. But, he wants me to supercharge the stock 6 in it. Thats never going to happen. No turbo either. But he is a funny kid. An absolute dreamer. He reckons i should put airbag suspension so it doesnt scrape on gum leaves. But nah, its easily replaced, but i like it.
