Personal Training


No! Not more boxing!


I’m still half asleep here. Suga getting me back for taking a shot of her (funny how we’re all wearing red and black too!).


Frenchie’s low and sexy Candy White R36 wagon.

Suga and I started up personal training late last year with Frenchie (who’s a Personal Trainer and moderator of our VWGolf.net.au Forums). I’d done personal training in the past and it was great until I pushed myself a little too hard in one session and did my back in. My back’s still pretty weak but Frenchie’s been awesome already in helping me to learn some exercises which will help me strengthen it.

Frenchie’s after some graphic design work in exchange for training sessions (perfect!) so it’s looking like we’ll be keeping it up :)

VWGolf.net.au Schnitzel Run


ADV Positive – AP’s 500HP Turbo R32 on 19″ ADV’s.


Ross’ R36 Wagon.


The Bavarian. There’s a pig in there, can you see it?


Table no. 32! Max Brenner’s for coffee.

Hooked up with the Golf guys and gals last night (yes, more beers, more food!). Great night as always, plenty of laughs and seeing (as well as hearing!) R32’s in convoy was awesome. More pics here

JDMST Lanyard + Carabiner

It took me some time to listen to the community. They’ve been wanting JDMST lanyards for years so late last year I decided to give them what they wanted. The order came in today and they look AOK! I just hope they sell otherwise I’ll be stuck with 250 lanyards!

SPEEDHUNTERS AWARDS 2010 >> PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR

I was only just made aware of this through facebook but apparently I’m a nominee for the ‘2010 Speedhunters Personality of the Year’ award. I clicked a link and when I saw the people nominated I almost fell over! I suspect Charles had something to do with this (naughty Charles!).

As if my already humongous ego needed more! I’m chuffed and obviously not after the win!!!

VWG BBQ


I freaked out for a second as I forgot to bring a bottle opener, but then I remembered that there’s one built into the centre console of the MKV Golf, haha, how awesome!


Little bit of dish on a Golf. Jayd’s new DPE wheels.


Mr Churrasco was on the BBQ.


MK1’s and 2’s MIA.

We had our last VWGolf.net.au meet for the year yesterday at Centennial Park. The rain held out which was awesome, company was great (as always!) and the food was awesome too.

Bad month, credit card is mega minus, all my US cheques converted to less Aussie dollar instead of more and now my car has decided it needs some new parts for Christmas.

Obsessive Compulsive Tuning Cars

I’ve been interviewed over at Benson Lau’s Blog: OCTC. I’ve always found interviews quite rewarding. I like to look at them as a ‘snap shot’ of where I’m at in this point in time. To view the interview visit: Obsessive Compulsive Tuning Cars

Weekend wrap

I’ve been a bit out of it since losing my PC and physically out of it too since Suga and I had our 2nd training session with the Frenchman (he killed us again!). Here are some random happenings:


Christina and I have been craving Wagaya for ages, we killed 2 birds with one stone by organising a Wagaya dinner with Felix and Di who ran us through our MC schedule for their wedding next week (eek!).


Di and Felix – wedding next week yo!


Yesterday Christina and I had lunch at Marque. A friend of Christina’s Mum had to pull out of a booking. Bookings have to be made months in advance so we grabbed it without hesitation.


My angel.


$45 is a killer deal for a 3-course meal of this quality. Amazing technique, different flavours but we didn’t really like the menu this time around.


Not sure when, or how but my GTI was side swiped by a white car. Not happy at all. I’m hoping it’ll mostly buff out (I would have been furious if it was the GT-R!).


I spent a bit of time cleaning the back wall of the tank today, decided to remove the black background too (again).

Beast!


Just spotted my beast on Felix’s Flickr. I really want to put my full cage back in!
