VS '95. LPG. 513,000KM
Not bad :)

Reminds me of when I got my ten year license renewal for half price for having a clean driving record. Didn't know such a discount existed.

Was thinking about repairing the existing central locking on my ute, which has aftermarket actuators connected to the original loom. Then I did an eBay search and I can get a whole new kit for 27 bucks. Glad I didn't mess around with the one already there. I'll just fit a whole new system and power it through the original fuse location.

Got the ute at the radiator place near work getting the aircon looked at. Hopefully it's just low on gas and hasn't got any expensive leaking spots.

Just did a walk by and the ute is in the garage across the road from work with the bonnet up having the aircond looked at. I set the limit at $160 before calling me and so far no phone call, hopefully that means all is going well....

Not sure if I could ever go back to a 250 unless it was an RGV 250. I'm too used to riding my RD 400 that has 53hp at the rear wheel and only weighs 120kg with a full tank. I don't have a road legal bike anymore since I turned the RD into a track bike only. I'm waiting for the day when I can afford a Triumph 900 Daytona..... Gonna be a while but one day I will get one. Once I finish building the house I might be able to start working towards getting one. Are you on restricted Wozza or have you chosen the GB because it's cheap to rego and run?

Aircond tech said issue was a crushed hard line. Looks like it may be the one that goes to the condenser or receiver, I'm not sure?? It was quite long and made from alloy and had some bends in it. $260 he reckons the bill will be. Here's hoping it stays at $260 and doesn't go up much more. Kinda in too far now to turn back, which is scary.
