Alex Leong!
My good mate Chris is back in town and he brought his little baby Alex over last Wednesday. Max was soooo curious about Alex. I was a little nervous but Max was a good boy, just in for the sniff!
Alex is a chubby one! I got him to laugh a couple of times, always nice to have a baby laugh at you, rather than freak out and cry!
Angelo’s Portugalia in Kensington.
Last TRuesday night Stevey and I hit Angelo’s Portugalia for some authentic Portuguese food. Tight-ass Tuesdays too so food was half the price. Service was shocking, felt so sorry for the 2 friendly floor staff who struggled to attend to everyone but the chicken literally melts in your mouth, it’s so damn good. Portuguese wine was nice too.
Excuse the lack of updates, not been lazy, been in the matrix working my ass off on the Zen Garage online store!
Met up with the boys last night to sign the Zen Garage Partnership Agreement, and to start a new joint bank account too. We’re pumped! Here’s to the future. Zen Garage is GO!
Awesome day out today at the Sydney VW/Audi (VAG!) Dyno Day in Revesby. My full write-up on the day can be found at Zen Garage.
Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there. Yesterday Christina and I put together this little hamper of weird and wonderful cooking ingredients for Mr. Lock. Hope he enjoys it!
The car that got away.
A few days ago I put a bid down on a BMW E36 318is (that lowercase “s” makes all the difference) on eBay. Not that I need a 3rd car but it was one of those spare of the moment, late at night, red wine and internet moments!
I’ve never bought a car off eBay before but in this case I doubt the seller had ever sold a car on eBay before! Her listing was awesome (view it here), you could read her frustration. Poor lady must have been hammered with stupid questions, low ball offers and hate mail!
I was winning the auction until someone sniped me last minute and beat me by a measly $50. I was pretty devastated for some reason! At $4k I would happily have paid $5k for the car.
This morning I’m still feeling shitty about it. An E36 might still be on the cards, would make a nice project car for Zen Garage I think. Lovely lines, always have loved the shape more than the ‘little too boxy’ E30’s or the ‘tubby’ E46’s.
As much as I love collecting stickers I hate sticking them on anything. When I do stick a sticker on a car I end up hating it, then ripping it off soon after. I figure under the bonnet is a good out of sight, out of mind way to represent!
Big night in tonight. Vodka, junk food, internet, it’s all good! I decided to get all nostalgic and put together my list of top 10 cartoons from the 80’s. Awwwww yeah. Check it out yo!
