What did you do to your VR/VS today?

everything fine. Tiny mark on one chair where it rubbed. Most things are held on with duct tape. Took 5, 30m rolls to secure the load. Duct tape is the go doesn't rub on the furniture and makes everything tight. Some gear is secured with tie downs and some with rope. I still have 2.5hrs to my second home. Fortunately i am heading to the wifes only an hour past the ferry for Saturday and Saturday night, then out bush Sunday arvo. Hoping the neighbour is home when I arrive otherwise I will have to park the ute in the shed until he gets back as i need help with the heavy gear.

Sounds like a great result.

Bike's improved . A few more bits for the ute. Belongings closer to home. A safe trip and no annoying red tape extra tax raisers around.

Yeah and the wife and her children got to see Adelaide and down south of Adelaide which they had never been to before. Just quietly im thinking i might take the bike for a squirt up near home. Might just have have to wait for the Plod to drive by and make sure they head back to Fingal, before i take it for a run, is all.

Nice. And yeah south of Adelaide= beautiful spot .
My youngest brother and his family live in Willunga on 6.5 acres with beautiful views .
I love where I live but am still slightly jealous of their place = sooo beautiful, I understand why he's so happy to travel to his work and bring his family up there .
Was down there last year and the block goes up and over a treed hill that some sheep he has have worn trails into and my first thought was these would make great mountain bike tracks, ha ha ha

Ran the ute down to the coast, about 200km. Ute is so much quieter on the highway now it's got a ceiling and carpet in it.

Was planning to get the last of the cruise control wiring finished up this morning but ended up picking up some parts for next week's big service instead.

I did notice some scum in the radiator whilst checking it this morning, so I've ordered an aluminum inlet manifold gasket from Mace, which should hopefully be here Thursdayish.

Ordered some long shank, tapered wheel nuts to bolt VE/VF wheels onto my VS. The 10 inch rear rims rub on the inner guard so I had to buy some 12mm spacers leaving next to no thread to work with.
