Went out armed with a brolley and rain jacket near Eagle Street Pier, had a couple of beers and ended up at Pig n Whistle later.. NO RAIN!!

I'm sure I would have been drenched if I hadn't brought the kit out.

If you want it to rain, get everyone to wash their car.

Drummers.

My neighbour thinks he is one
Blasts that shit loud as can be in his backyard!
All hours of the night (has been 1130pm)

Had enough tonight
8pm and 30 mins into his noise

I fired the poor old xj up

Limiter with no exhaust got the point across
No more drums

Chased up a set of spark plugs I ordered from Amazon. The first thing I have ever ordered from Amazon! Due date was Thursday last week so checked courier tracking and they say its been flagged for inspection prior to international departure???

Wrote to i-parcel last night and got a response within 15 minutes to say they have not received it yet (i-parcel US). So after half an hour finally found how to contact Amazon (I was watching Star Trak the Movie so was a little distracted) and got a message back from them within 15 minutes to say it appears to have been lost in transit and would I like them to send another set.

Yes please I respond, confirmed address and order number as per their request and get up this morning to an email from them saying due to a glitch in their sysyem they can not resend and international order and have refunded me instead.

Great first ordering experience from Amazon...

Don't give up, Amazon is usually awesome. The best online shopping I have ever done. Every company will lose stuff. It sounds as if it wasn't too difficult to get a refund. It can be annoying that certain stuff won't ship to Australia but I think that is due to suppliers having exclusive arrangements with Australian importers rather than Amazon being difficult.

WFM...... how's this for luck...!!!! I bought four brand new Goodyear's for the Lancer just three weeks go and on the way to worktoday a stone has pierced the tyre and wrecked it. This is how f'n shit our roads are. I am almost at the stage of quitting my job and going on the dole as it costs me more to get to work than the misely $135 I get each day after tax. Lucky I have to surrender the vehicle tomorrow or I would be up for a new tyre. Here's hoping I don't get a puncture on the way home as I have no spare now.

Regards A

Went back to reorder the spark pluga from amazon and they are now listed as not shipping to Aus! They suggested looking at other sellers which I did, found one that ship to Aus then on checkout said it wouldnt... tried another and shipping changed from the quoted $16 to $60 on checkout!

Found em on ebay for cheaper in the end.. ordered and on their way. Still ended up $99 Aus due to the lousy e change rate for 6 but a lot better than $30+ each locally.
