TAFE

So I am still being a bitch about all thise TAFE stuff, if I hadn't of paid for it I would have dropped out by now. I have no interest what so ever in binary or engineering math. Maybe itl get better in time but the simple fact of the matter is I do no have any passion for this or the line of work it is aimed for. I would have rather photography or web design, or packing up and heading to japan to be an english trainer.

I am writing this from our lunch table where everyone is discussing the mornings math problems, and don't really have anything interesting to post. Tonight is going to be a mad rush on the valiant to get it ready for the nostalgia drags tomorrow,I had wanted to go to friday night drifts but oh well.

Next update will be pic heavy :)

This is for the kids! This is only for the kids!

Works been great, TAFE has been pretty much the opposite...well that's a lie, but i am not enjoying it. Starting to wish i had of taken a photography course or something, I do like computers...but binary and hexadecimal shit me. Today I went to eagle farm for first lesson and realised i had forgotten my work shop project so drove home and drove back at lunch, then drove back after class again. This is the second 120km day this week, oh well, i will get used to it.

I am still kind of finding my blogging feet, atm i am half way between a diary entry and a car blog, oh well it'll happen soon. I don't really have any happy snaps to put up, but if i did they would probably be of the valiant, kind of in a mad rush to get it ready for the Nostalgia drags on Saturday.

I will hopefully be updating soon with some images from my old Yashica and Zenit, but that's going to be a matter of time until i get them developed, one is a roll i was stuffing about taking photos of the valiant with, and one is half way through from around the 85' to 90' period so who knows whats on it. Then there is the last roll the Nikon F100 shot, which will be kind of depressing.

Friday night drifts are worth looking forward to, the valiant up and running and seeing Bek. It doesn't really feel right to leave without an image, so here goes, also I might update this all on Friday when i am day dreaming of japan at TAFE, it would be nice if i could from hiptop but i doubt it.














Hopefully once i get a bit more time and a decent camera i will turn this into more of an image based blog.

First blog.

Guess this shit's gotta be historic right?

Well in the past week i have gone to court, gotten a job, payed my parking fine and earnt some money. I guess in that respect Thursday was pretty eventful, starting off with court in the morning. After waiting with Sandgates finest criminals for an hour and a half, alex and i got a good behaviour agreement, which would be pretty cool if we had done anything impressive, but we currently are on good behaviour for stealing a street sign.

Anyways we cut out of there soon after, and headed to ABC cars in Strathpine, not much to speak off but a nice Hardtop Skyline.


We then transfered to Kelly's Wreckers in Zillmere, who have recently gained another Celeste which is pretty well fucked. About the same condition as this RA65 Coupe.


After leaving there alex and i hit up AllJap's and Tuff toys, but Alljaps didn't have any camber tops or just didn't really wanna serve us. Tuff toys had the sob story about the Yen and dollar for us. Some nice cars there though: AW11, R32 GTR, R33 GTR, Z32's and 1UZ/1J soarers.

We then headed to JapanAutos for a stickybeak at there coils and camber tops seeing as i had bought a white rim steering wheel from them the day before. We were soon confronted with JDM heaven, coilovers, Seats, Exhausts, Every motor you can think of, Front cuts, wheels and a lot of aftermarket stuff, and not to mention decent staff. I left without camber tops, but with a job, I started the next day.

Since then it has been work and TAFE, and i couldnt be happier! I have 3 and a half days of TAFE then Thursdays, saturdays and tuesday arvos at JapanAutos, dream job right there.

Tomorrow will involve continuing stripping that uneeded interior crap from the celeste and probably readying the valiant to be worked on.
