Hi Brett,
I hope your wife's experience there was a good one? If not,please understand I am only his brother. I would hate to be judged for anything my bro has done. Are you going on the run tomorrow? I am, would like to catch up then.

Show us a picture of your place. If they are ugly houses yours must be pretty impressive, cant wait to see.
My house is just a very modest 4 bedroom native timber farmhouse style bungalow circa 1937 which my wife and I are slowly restoring. Small but pretty, from the days when you didn't have to look at the number on your letterbox to see if you had the right house. Don't mind me though, just my opinion on modern architecture, I know a lot of people love it.

Well just like you, we are slowly doing up our house too. Would love to live in the bush with out a letter box, but its not possible so I need one to get my mail. How do you get any mail?

Nah, I was refering to how the houses in those housing developments all look the same, have the same colour schemes, and are very hard to tell apart from one another. Our house would have been in the bush when it was built but the suburbs have moved in around it now.

Yeah know what you mean Matthew, You have a point. My wifes family live on acreage in Busselton WA and there place looks livable and cozy and the neighbors are friendly. I prefer the bush to city life, Just ended up in the city following work. To much bull sh.t in the city.

Oh god no, I love it.....
Apart from the fact it has a non Motorsport front end bumper, the current one is oh so bland, makes it looks like a Grandma spec E36!
As well as that, I am not happy the fact it's taking way too long to get the 1UZ/A341 into it, nearly finished the Custom 4-2-1 headers, but still have to make up the sump, baffle and pick up, then drop it all into the test car and make sure it all fits nicely. Then comes the time to remove my underpowered BMWs engine, and drop the 1UZ it in my car which then means I can start the process of refitting the hoses, cables, cooling, fuel system, drive shaft link, air conditioning, power-steering, exhaust and of course electrical wiring to the Toyota ECU and BMW fuse box. God only know hows long that will take!
Going to be a fun November - December!
My original comment was getting at how, back then in 2006 I was ignorant and overly interested in Soarers when thought they were the most fun car on the road that I could by, seems I was rather wrong. Still no regrets selling my last UZZ30 in December 2009, the thought of driving it again bores me! Still, it was a nice finish to owning them, theres just no appeal for me to buy one again, unless it was a UZZ32 in mint condition.

Too true.
I'd imagine parts would be common over there, recently I talked to a German guy and he said that a great deal of the 80's or early 90's German cars are scrapped due to rusting from the salted roads and conditions during winter.
