The inspiration for turning the mk2 into a track project, Heres one scary mk1 straight from Jaffaville… I Present project poo.

Now getting past my VW fetish for today, I have a new all time favourite magazine FS, or Free Style magazine has to be the best value for money for the bargain price of $10 you get Minitrucks, Choppers, Hot Cars, Tattoo culture, Art, Music, Skateboarding and Woman too.
Packaged in a mixture of Gloss and Matt paper with a spine so it looks good on the bookshelf.

The Layout is somewhat lacking, when compared to the polished trife we are used too in NZ (the likes of NZPC and Manual) but it makes up for that with bulk material… all im waiting for now is it to flop in NZ… or worse off go the way of all my old favourites… as in chok full of advertisments with a magazine thrown in as after-thought.

Another Thing i’ve been getting into, and rather late I admit, is Big Bang Theory, its unfortunate that its a sitcom, as I general rule I neglect anything with a laugh track, unfortunate because I’ve kept off watching it for so long.

Anyways catch you on the flip flop

Deep Dish ft. Stevie Nicks – Dreams 3:47

Wow so many great things to update about, lets begin with Steve Joyce, Here’s a man who has nearly converted me to the dark side of supporting the national party.
In his short time in office he’s managed to do what local government should have done in the 50’s, he’s come in swinging his gigantic nut sack and given Transmission Gully the go ahead, its quit funny that the wench who throws rate payers money around down there has jumped on the bandwagon, now that her rate payers dont have to pay towards it, but i’ll take a $5 shot in the mouth for some fucking progress around here, so a toast to Mr Joyce for seeing some sense, its about time!

Christmas, Jesus is not the bloody reason for the season.
Pagans were celebrating this time of year with light festivals, tree’s etc when Jesus and God where idea’s in some sick schizophrenics head, maybe that’s a little harsh – far be it from me to judge people on there belief’s, seriously though I listen to a fair bit of Newstalk ZB these days and the religious idiocy over this bloody Joseph and Mary in bed billboard has had me in stitches, These people are happy to judge everyone unchristian, and as soon as an arch decon throws up a questionable billboard in the name of making good conversation – may I add getting more people interested in a religion so out of touch with people its not funny – they get violent, start preaching hate and inevitably sin by defacing it and then stealing it, shame on you 90% of ZB’s fanbase (read; the elderly) and a toast to the arch decon, I hope the billboard finds its way back up soon.

Oh and by the way, the reason for the season is family and friends you self serving small minded bible bashers.
We had our’s early so it’s outta the way.

Mike D moving back to Levin – How awesome is that, we can frolic through the long grass once again, plat each others silky hair and have pillow fights!
Seriously though great new’s Levin is great and all but I miss most of my old flatmate’s/ friends, and I could use the cat eyed ones help on the car when I get to my next point.

We’ve found a home to buy, in our price range, with a huge sub dividable back lawn, we’ve done the math and can afford it all, so pending on the bank giving us the go ahead there could be a very excited update in the near future, I’m extra excited because “She Who Must Be Obeyed” has agreed to let me build a decent sized shed for the golf, one step closer to a track toy!

Family – For those not in the know, Riki is back from Australia, its great having him around again, Sadie nearly loves him as much as her Grandad.
Oh and Sadie is standing on her own, dancing and drumming on thing’s, every day I come home from work and she manages to cheer me up, finally someone who loves music as much as me, She and Cia are heading up to the in-laws for Christmas, I’m working through (hence the aforementioned “early Christmas”) So I may pop down to Welly in the evening…

Anyways happy pagan light festival everyone
And a merry Christmas too.

Nikola Sarcevic – Love Trap 3:13

Sadie learned how to pout at the hospital, and shes been using it as a weapon ever since.
I pick my ladies up on Monday.

The first car I’ve owned which is under 20 years in age, also the first car I’ve bothered to get insurance on, while talking about insurance therefore money blah blah blah, the registration for the golf came in today, over a hundy for 6 months! what’s up with that, I’m fairly sure 6 months ago when i registered her, it cost me $64???

Anyways tossing up weither to run it until the WOF runs out also, or just put it on restoration now, the big seller being a 4pot 1.8L is a buttload cheaper than 3.5L V6 around town, then I can just use the Mitsi as a leather clad shopping trolly and holiday cruiser…

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Zero 4:54

Sadie came out of surgery and had dropped alot of weight, I could hardly recognize her, however she bounced back big time, and is once again the happiest little critter ever.

Apparently she is now full time formula (I havent seen her or her mother in a week as theyre up north visiting family)

I bought a new car, its a 1997 Mitsubishi Diamante 3.5ei (3.5L V6 Electronic Injection) Its the top of the line model for its year, with electric seats, full leather, CD stacker etc etc, the main reason for doing this was to get sarah off my back about how poorly suited the Golf is for a family, but other reasons include the chance to get the golf ff the road and start it as a project car finally, to get credit history (ive managed to survive up until now without one) something a bit bigger – particularly for longer trips to visit the in-laws, something a bit safer yadda yadda ya.

So never fear the golf is still in the family, and its still very much my biggest hobby (not to mention a money pit) one day I’ll be able to teach Sadie how to drive in it… really fast… around Taupo track 2

Lifes to do list.
-Find a suitable house, get a mortgage before the world crawls ut of the house its in (double garage or garage with carport)
-Electrician course (something to look into after Telco Level 3/4)
-Sarahs licence sorted
-Buy a boxer puppie

Oh and last but not least congrats to Hayley and Jared, your daughter is gorgeous guys

MGMT – Kids 4:35

My Manager really went out of his way talking with Downer about my pay, and it worked, I’ve been offered a significantly more reasonable wage and signed up today – all is well, we can afford a mortgage, not to mention food, nappies, clothing and all the noisy little toys Sadie can get her tiny mits on.

I’ve been working weekends, getting paid what I can while I can in the meantime – hence the lack of updates – but hoping for some normality in the near future.

The Volkswagen has had very little time spent on it as of late and its sitting outside my window looking sad and lonely – soon enough soon enough.

Not much else to report in, I head for Timaru (Transfield block coarse) for two weeks on Sunday, will try to get the tiny little Asus laptop so I can purge some internet in the evenings and tell you all about it.

Peace, love and all of that

Voom – King Kong 3:10

Car got a quick service today, just an oil change/ replaced oil filter.
She idles alot better now.

Pulled over for the first time in months while warming the oil up to clear the sump, cop done the regular walk around to check I had a Warro and Rego, then said he was doing routine breath tests… the same old bullshit, checked my license and after wasting 10 minutes of my life let me go on my way.

The golf then got it first clean since I left for the South Island, then taken for a quick drive through the shannon/ foxton loop, after which I stopped in at BP Levin to gas up.

Where the second cop (a middle aged Maori chap) decided to walk over and check my warro, rego and license, at least this guy was a bit of a laugh.
At this rate all the cops in Levin will probably know my car by next week and not pull me over in future… heres to hoping.
