Should be on our local station 6IX :thumbsup: I cracked up when i heard the station designation when I first moved here, a bit of smutty schoolboy humour rarely fails to amuse my tiny mind :ebiggrin: :ebiggrin: :ebiggrin:

Car is getting oh so close now, what do they say “ the last 5% takes the longest “ Bloody hope not.
Anyway the old girl will be off to the auto sparkies next week for the new harness to go in and the seats are at the trimmers as we speak. Really hoping to have it on the road and fully registered but the end of April 🙏🏻

In the mean time I got myself another little project. 6 x 4 cage trailer for a $100 (registered) 🤣 It definitely needs some love

No car update but the trailer came up a treat.
What’s the expression “ You can’t polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter” Well I used a fair bit of glitter 🤣🤣
