    while you are cleaning it, the part you've just finished cleaning is already dirty :p

    drove it today after somehow scoring a work vehicle for 2 days.
    so much more comfortable then what I was driving.

    +1 Silver is the best , looks shmick when freshly cleaned and barely shows up when you get lazy and don't wash it for a couple of weeks.

    Put a new battery in the ute, fixed most of the electrical gremlins! Then realised it really badly needs a wash. Then, it got dark, so I shrugged and walked inside.

    VB is going to NSW All Holden Day this weekend, will be cleaning it tomorrow. Tonight had a look at it and what needs to be done, made a list of things to get at supercheap. Will need to respray a bit of the engine bay, master cylinder went during the last service, brake fluid went everywhere.

    My new breather line for the wags arrived.
    Drove the sedan. Love driving my luxury car compared to the wags.

    got myself some of the cheapest tyres i could find and got screwed after i drove 90km to get them, they gave me a brand that google has never heard of, then while i was lost in western sydney i was in the gutter lane and a truck groove in the road took out the lip of my rim pretty bad too, they are 205/40r17 so not much sidewall for protection

    I picked up a spare S3 bumper for the VS stato for $80. It came with foglights indicators and the lip, im not 100% sure but it seems to be the same amazon blue mica. I swear I should become a car salesman making deals and shiz

    just looked at it again, still needs a wash but I really don't want to... theres about 3 dings in the drivers side from pricks opening doors into it, drivers side mirror I have just noticed has been hit and scratched at some point in the past day or so. Best to leave it dirty and sort of disguising the hits... Really need a 4x4 ute with a steel tray
