Yeah right!
The Sydney to Gong ride is coming up soon. It’s going to be a VERY tough 90km ride for me this year as I’ve really not been on the bicycle at all. I’m pretty sure I’ve got the mental determination to make it though. I’ll just try to roll as much of it without pedalling as I can!
Please consider donating (all proceeds go to MS Australia). I’d really appreciate it!

My sister put on a lunch yesterday for all of her (and Richie’s) pommy mates, and as usual she smashed it! Food was so good, she’s an awesome entertainer (wish I had some of that!). Some pics:
Oz and Dexter. My mate Oz is a real man now!
Dexter – Omnomnom!
Richie’s new Foxy beers!
Entree’s.
Home made icecream for dessert.

We had a BBQ at ours yesterday. Unfortunately the weather was crap but the company was awesome. Here are a few random pics:
Our cheap BBQ worked a treat!
Group shot.
Kay’s rad boots.
It’s the me.
As much as we try not to work with friends, sometimes it can’t be avoided! Here’s Gen picking out a pantone colour for her new business card which Christina is designing.
Mia did so well with the crowd (and all the noise!). We’re so proud of her, she’s so good with people!
Nat + Mia love.
Gen’s new guy Matt did well meeting and mingling with everyone considering Christina’s mates are a very clicky group. He got overexcited when Salt-N-Pepa’s “Push It” came on TV and broke one of our bentwood chairs though! I suppose we can forgive him just this once!
Jon – Superman Dat Hoe.
Pong table came out, must almost be that time of year again!
The couch crew.
Phew she loves it!
Christina and I have been looking around for a tall scratcher/tree for Mia for ages now. The ones in the shops are way overpriced ($400 what the?!) but we finally found a tall and cheap one on eBay. It’s ugly, but hey, she uses it so it’s all good!
Auto Obsession is officially launched. I designed the logo and the web site too (which I will be running for a while to get the boys going!).
I’m really happy with the way I’ve set up my LED lights and industrial timers. I’ve got control over 9 rows of lights in total and I can set any combination I like so I’ve got something like this:
Morning
– 1 white light in the middle
– 3 white lights left middle and right
– 3 white and 3 blue lights left middle and right
– 6 whites and 3 blue lights left middle and right
– 3 white and 3 blue lights left middle and right
– 3 blue lights left middle and right and one middle white light
– 1 blue light in the middle
Hard to describe! But basically I’m trying to emulate a sunrise and sunset throughout 10 hours. See photos below for 2 shots, one at 4pm, the one after at 9pm.
4pm.

Our new BBQ.
Yeah it’s a crap $129 job from Bunnings. I wanted to buy this everdure BBQ, more than twice the price but it looks sturdy and really easy to clean (and potentially easier to keep clean). Christina had some doubts about it though so in the end we went with the Jumbuck. Putting it together it was evident how crap it was, the screws are going to rust overnight, some of the heads on the bolts weren’t even welded on straight! Hopefully the weather’s going to be awesome tomorrow so we can put it to work. Despite the shitty BBQ I’m sure the food’s going to taste great!
Christina and I left a package in Nath’s car during Pizza night the other night and he kindly came over today to drop it off. There was another reason why he came over though, he wanted to show this off:
I heard him before he knocked on the door!
Made in Slovenia. It’s an Akrapovic exhaust. I just checked out their site, different!
Nath hadn’t had brekkie and Christina and I hadn’t had lunch so we thought we’d eat at Fratelli Fresh
Strange stuff: They had an entire wall dedicated to Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
Oils ain’t oils!
I had the meatball pasta. OMG too good. TOO GOOD! I’ve been on a high ever since. So so happy. So happy.
Sean and Liz. 2 great mates that go way back!
Last night I caught up with Sean and Liz for dinner and beers at The Clock in Surry Hills. I caught up with Liz not too long ago, she’s going through some major changes (great ones!), but I hadn’t caught up with Sean in ages. With all good mates though, it always seems to feel like you can start where you left off and the three of us catching up felt like old times.
VWG Pizza night last night at Made in Italy. Small group of 9 but a lot of fun :)
Pre-dinner beers at The Gaelic Club.
Frenchie’s R36 wagon. Looking so good.
Wagon Mafia!
Polo pizza was great.
Nutella Pizza!
Nath took us in and AP took us home in his 500HP R32 turbo monster (which was surprisingly smooth).
