My son arrived at 8.30am after driving from Cessnock last night.....very happy it looks as good as I hoped. Had a drive bit different to the little Beep Beep Barina but I went ok. Just have to remember wide left turns smile

I need to get a solar panel installed on the roof somewhere between the aircon and the aerial.

My brother just had a look and is quite impressed with it.

Drove about 10kms this morning after peak time, to mechanic for a roadworthy down in an area full of trucks, vans, semis all heading to Western ring road and industrial areas.  Went really well just different to drive. I even did a 3 point turn biggrin  nothing for some but a lot for me .........hopefully nothing is wrong and I will pick up tomorrow lunch time in similar non peak traffic ...fingers crossed.

Well roadworthy done, small leak fixed reverse beepers on and I am ready to head off on Sat for my maiden trip to Greens Lake.

I drove home and as I live in a unit we have some car spots off street so I had to drive in then reverse into 1 spot easy...not for me biggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrin

I kept thinking of the post about the 19pt turn and I refused to count as I was going forward into a bottle brush at my front.  So back and forth I go until I GOT IT in and every time in reverse BEEP BEEP BEEP so the whole world knows I am reversing.

And now the B****y bottle brush has just had a massive trim.biggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrin
