Yup, still sick but the Pho helps to flush that phlegm down!

Nervous = true.

ED gets a little Domo-kun love. Hehehehe.

Had a glimpse of my old Jazz on Flickr. David, the new owner has taken a few hot shots of it. Miss it? Yeah a little. Always do miss my old cars! High res here.

Yeah all this excitement had to take a toll sooner or later, my brain hurts and Christina and I have both come down with a flu.

Mie Ayam at Betawi, Maroubra Junction. It’s a traditional Indo lunch-time meal. It’s so good, even when you’re sick it brings a smile to your face.

WTH! Ahhh my eyes! Spotted this at the mall, so ugly I had to take a pic of it.

It’s been a long wait but the BMU Jerseys finally came in today and the wait has been 10000000% worthwhile! They’re amazing!

More pics here.

Damien and Zann.

Real!

Solid!

Last night I hooked up with Damien and Zann who flew all the way in from Cairns Queensland. We had a few beers and dinner at the Clock on Crown St. Surry Hills (food was damn good actually, Asahi on tap too!) and we talked INfront, bounced ideas around (buncing was great) and then we got down to business and signed our loves away.

INfront is now a company. It’s real, very. I’m excited, very. It’s going to be an awesome year for INfront, myself, Damien and Zann.

Charles.

Mark.

Last night I caught up with Charles and Mark (^ funny what happens when you have 3 bloggers on the table, all the cameras come out!).

With Auto Salon Magazine ending print production after the next issue I knew both Charles and Mark were probably in the same boat as me and going through the same motions as I am right now. My brain has been going at a million miles per hour lately. There’s just so much going on for me at the moment, big decisions to be made and lots of pressure.

I appreciated being able to dump my thoughts out on the table over dinner (ribs at Kelly’s Grill which were a little overcooked and not as soft as usual which was a bit of a bummer), we all had a bit of venting to do as well as a fair share of bouncing new ideas around. Super exciting times ahead!

OK so one of 2 previous owners of my new V35 Skyline hit a silent cop at some stage and ripped out the front swaybar, sad thing is they didn’t replace it (dodgey!!!!).

For the price of one factory swaybar I could have bought an adjustable aftermarket set (which I did). I was booked in to get them installed today by Dedy at Top One and I was also booked in for a wheel alignment at Heasman right after.

I love the iPod dock in the car. I can control the iPod from the steering wheel, the plug charges the iPod too.

I’ve seen this Merc a few times at Dedy’s. Same car as my Mums… but with MUCH bigger wheels!

Another one of Dedy’s toys.

Swaybars – Old vs. New.

3 guys working on my car at the same time, killer.

The front bar is in, new end links too as they were broken.

The ride on the way to Heasmans was already less comfortable. It had to happen though. Having no swaybar was so comfy as going over a pot hole with my left wheel only sent a shock through the left of the car, now it sends the shock through both sides of the car.

Spotted the JDM Concept race car at Heasmans. I love how it’s got 3 of my logos on it (insert cool smiley face icon here).

Amazingly I got Doug Heasman (the man) again, always do. Always love having a chat with the guy. He doesn’t look a single day older, he still loves what he does. What an inspiration.

Spotted this fun looking race prepped Echo.

Doug burnt both his ears on my exhaust trying to get some more positive back into the rears, no go though. There’s just not enough adjustability from the stock set-up.

I’ve set up the swaybars full stiff up front and full soft at the rear for now. The ride is a little harsher but the coilovers are set on full soft and I think that’s making the car feel a little strange, especially in the front. I’ll stiffen them up a little and see how I go.

Yah so it’s looking like Sunday’s are reserved for Wedding stuff. Looking at Churches, reception venues… etc etc.

This weekend we checked out a few wedding bands ($3k for a plain silver (platinum) ring? Yaaaaaaaaaaaa oooo k. Christina got her ring polished up (on the house forever apparently) and then we headed to The Ultimate Bridal Event which was held at the Entertainment Centre.

Nice and new again.

Limo = no.

Wedding show.

Yes Elvis was there, and for hire, too.

Trade stalls (most if not all in very bad taste).

Cheesey, yes, daggy, yes yes. Ultimately this was a good experience as it displayed everything that we should avoid for our wedding!!!
