Opps; forgot about 1 think on Day 2; there is a gunmetal gray GTR skyline that will remember me (succccckkkkkeeeerrrrr)HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
Day 3; say good bye to mum and off to Anglsea to see my brother Seeing how we are the only 2 males in the family of 6 kids we have always poped in on each other when in town. After a couple of hours with him then it was off to Phillip island to catch up with Craig Webber and the family also pick up more parts. "O" yer i had to pick up parts from Josh in Ballarat. along the way Getting incontact with Morgs to pick up Neils tyres and rims.
I had been to morg's place before but for the life of me i couldn't remember where it was. By this time i was around werribee so i rang Reepa to find the cheapest place to buy a navagation thingy. I bought a Tom Tom So here i go another electronic thing i have to sort out.hehehehehe after sitting in the van for 10 min's in 30 degree Melbourne heat. Morgs had texted me his address so now it was off to pick up the wheels. when leaving Werribee Craig calls when are you going to arrive were going out fo dinner? Yer right mate!!!god only knows when give me your address and i will call you when i get there. i got this new gizmo that recons it knows all (wife syndrome) Well the gizmo got me to morg's place and i meet his grandma (lovely lady Morg's) and punched in Craigs address Well bugger me I had stumped the gizmo it couldn't find Craigs street number on its maps so the next street number it new. HHHmmmmmmmm OK! So now i have a little more weight in the car this will be good.(softer ride bit more rear grip). so the gizmo sent me exactly the way i knew and i thought yer ok. found the house and we went out for dinner After dinner we put some more parts in which really weighed the van down. so much so the Diff has squashed the 3" exhaust a little.
Day 4;
After having a great sleep at craigs motel he runs it was time to go again, The other side of Melbourne to Reepas place. the gizmo sent me back a different way from Phillip Island which was heaps quicker UNTIL you hit road works on the freeway. Any way so be it i get to Reepas 11.00am wake him up have a coffee and a talk about every thing and realised what time it was so i had to cut it short. I had a dead line to be in canberra before 9.30pm and still had the limit of 105kms per hour. Leaving Reepas i give the van a little sh*t and with all the weight and new back tyres,It desides to launch it's self the back end digs in and the front left wheels is skipping the bitumen, FFFFFFUUUUUUUUU*******KKKKKKK Me. Now every time i would give the van crap against any other car the other car drive would have a smile from ear to ear. Forget the smile guys This was instant steering lock type of a launch Along the Hume Hwy i started playing with the gizmo and found out it had heaps of different features. It tells you were speed cameras are, what speed zone you are in. Different voices and alert tones if you happen to go over the speed limit.hehehehe WHO ME? (who gets a speeding ticket on every trip he does) Any way I arrive at Neils place at 8.00 ish and have some time before the old guy hits the fart sack.HEHEHEHE
the following day is time to check some things on the van before the rest of the trip
