No details

I am starting to think it is not wise to leave my details on the internet. My house at 56 Molle St. Hobart TAS 7000 Australia is only pictured here as a random picture of a house for this story.

You can see here on Google Earth, that at 42degrees 53' 14.77” South, 147degrees 19' 14.38” East I have blacked out my house so no one can see where it is, or the things that go on.

I should also be careful not to reveal the list of my possessions. I probably should have blacked out my white car (which is very good and expensive) in the Google Earth picture, and spoken less of my CD collection containing Johnny Cash Giant Hits. Plus a VHS tape of The Godfather II and other things that failed to sell on ebay, using my ebay ID of "jonny2tg".

Barefoot Angels

This is me playing bass in 'Rowan Smith's Barefoot Angels' last night. I only met Rowan and the others yesterday, we practiced and learnt 9 songs, then did a gig at the Mayf the same night.

Galant is going

I got the silly Galant VR4 going yet again, pictured here in a typical Tasmanian coastal setting. At night it blows flames. This is sort of a wolf in sheeps clothing, which means it's fast. 4G63 turbo motor, with a big turbo, 3" exhaust no cat, screamer pipe (illegal?), big intercooler, big injectors and fuel pump, MicroTech computer etc. Plus 4WD and 18" wheels. It's not the easiest thing to work on, but Adam thinks it's worthwhile when hitting 18psi and drag racing most other cars. I'm not sure we are going to stop till it does 12s.

my party

I have some nice big flowers here given to me last night, at about 2am towards the end of my party. If you live along Molle St. and are missing some big blue and white flowers and these yellow daffodil type ones, I am very sorry. Some girls got a bit wild. One 'stage dived' into a nabours lavender bush and flattened it, but came out smelling nice. I am not sure what to do about this.

OK, this is a dig at Christine (who has no accent). This is my accent above, according to the test I did.

R31 Skyline GTS

Today I helped my friend Mark get his Skyline going. It had been on jackstands for a few weeks. We fitted the flywheel, and a new pink! heavy duty clutch. Then the hard bit of putting the gearbox back in, which required me to get under the car and 'bench press' the gearbox up into place. And it rained, which ment I was laying in water, not to mention oil and brake fluid. It got all through my cloths and hair. But we got it going, and with the new turbo it's a fast car. Note the new 17" wheels also.

Vehicle: R31 Skyline GTS coupe, ~1988. Engine: RB20 2 litre 6 cyl. twincam turbo.

We got sideways and I was scared. Then Amanda got us coffee and carrot cake. Ahhhh, what a nice story.
