    Hi guys! Looking for sympathy here - I'm in Darwin for 3 months; no beach but even worse, NO CARS! Very uncivilised up here - a couple of Alfas is the only thing I've seen. Doing a job to help out a friend and earn some cash to pay for Bambino beauty makeover. Working a regular job is NOT really fun... being without my red babies is even worse...

    Moretti, congrats on the QV, looks great - try and keep this one straight. Maybe your Victorian lovers could have a whip around and buy a steel-cap hat to protect your now-thin little skull! Sorry I won't get to see the car for a while.

    My 308 is in joint custody of a couple of FIAT friends so if you see it around, say hi!

    a got a cousin who is a barramundi fisherman from bathurst island, he makes it to Darwin to get pyst and in the company of a woman, well he dont understand public relations or people skills, he kinda hits em with a flame thrower.

    oh yeh and ash might be able to help here, we have a fellow SFR'r up in Darwin, terrible ted, he has an M3 and 996 turbot, he werks in the porsche dealership as a service consultant or is it the ford dealership, either way he loves driving fast (ask ash, he has done it with him)

    last time i drove fast with him we got overtaken like we were standing still by JB who didn't trust the figgers in the manual... the tarmac hailstorm really sticks in your mind

    oh, my sympathy for being in NT without a fast car. that's how i spent my last 6 hours in alice, ugh.

    ted's tasty little porker, i'm sure JB's taking good care of it.... : http://enemyoftime.com/yapig/view.php?gid=12&phid=66

    what about the lovely Casuarina Beach :rolleyes:

    is it still the nudie beach :D

    this would be the worst time of the year to be there (suicide season as they call it) and no matter how many showers you have you still feel sticky.

    Thanks re 308gtsqv, drives beautifully and should be easier to keep this one shiny side up :D

    the VIC gay team have had a whip around and could only come up with a placky helmet, still, better than the thin lid currently masquarading as a skull ;)

    Actually the weather is surprisingly cool, just wet and very windy mostly.
    Internet in the office only...
    I'll keep a look out for Terrible Ted at the porker workshop; I seem to have fallen into a den of pork-fanciers:)!
    Gaz has contacts with a barra boat called, would you believe, the Jolly Roger but I don't think the season has started again yet.

    good to see you are doing ok without the bambino and fazz Karen

    my disposition has improved markedly since getting back behind the wheel of the qv, even Leonie is beginning to talk to me :eek:

    weather down here has been very humid and nearly as suicidial as Darwin for continual energy sapping heat.

    you missed a good drive thru mt nebo last w/e , when do we get the pleasure of your company back in the Sunshine state ??
