It's Tuesday.

I've been online non-stop since Friday [feels like]...it's 35-something degrees C, my GPU says 63....

I need a beer.

Cheers to your sobriety bro, I commend you for your determination.

Thanks HG.   I only thought I was happy when I was drunk... took being sober to know I wasn't.  I'm much better off for not drinking to get plastered, both socially and financially.


I tend to 'control' the drink.....I've had my car written off up the arse by a loser who blew 0.28% ....almost 6 times over the limit. Didn't do my Trumpie Spitfire a lot of good.

....and that was the SECOND one.

After the second one I decided a 'bigger' car was maybe more visible...

...got myself a VF Valiant 2 door hardtop [Chrysler], instead....



Oh, yeah...had an eff-wit run into the rear of that one, too

Three of 'em rear-ended????    A bit heavy footed on the brake, are we???

One was via braking...the first two [the spitties] were whilst stationary, the first in traffic....the second waiting to turn right...

Hmmm...auto insurance in Oz must be pricey.

Hey Jafo, here's mine from '87-'92.  I loved it until the engine went.

Still comes down to braking!  Stationary means you came to a stop well before the others. 

Hehe!!  Standing on the brake with both feet will do it every time.

Hey Ed, I know why your Spittie gave up the ghost early. 

Somebody went and put the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Yes, but stationary for a good 30 seconds before I was hit....so hardly anything of my doing...

Ed, that looks like a 1500.  Mine were a Spittie 4 Mk 1 and later a Mk2 ...with the Mk 3 engine [1296].

Ah!!  Now I would have noticed that if you'd had a front license plate.

That's what it must be with all the left-hand drive Yankee cars they send over here... they sent the flamin' negatives instead.
