Default Since people asked...

I've noticed a few people asking recently where i've been lately.
rest assured i'm not abandoning anything.

basically at about the same time i got a girlfriend and a new job, meaning i've gone from 100% free time to far less.. pretty much living with my girlfriend and not having internet access there has meant my only forum access has been from work or for the short periods i'm home.

I'm hoping i can get online more often sooner rather then later, but i've been attending all the meets i can so i'm deffinately not out of the loop.

on a side note... the cars now got a green bonnet
Thanks to MrDose!

Sweet as good to hear you got a new job. What are you doing?

Just in case anyone is worried about me, I'm fine too. I have a wreck. It's mad. The parts are cheap.

<3 John & Sunny

Didn't notice the bonnet at Limeburners though : Good work, looks tops!

I'm hoping Sunny's Telstra firewall comes down again today, some entertainment threads in the arvo would be good!

Bonnet is stone chipped a fair bit, but it just matches the rest of the front.
I've got a spare fairmont front bar that i'll be putting on the car soon.
when thats on i can remove the BA bar and repair it & spray it.
