Just gonna quickly run through a few things that I felt were note worthy this post.

First, my Ford Fairmont EB (1992), the gearbox on it died recently, this gives it a Park, no reverse, Nutural acting like Drive, Drive acting like Drive, and 2/1 acting like 2/1.
Obviously this makes it hard to get out of parking spaces, so for now, I’m traveling around in a 1984 VW Transporter, which I have to say, is one of the most fun cars I have ever driven.

Who cares that it takes almost 2 minutes to reach 100km/ph when you can have this much fun driving a car, and its a completely different way to drive. Your sitting on the front wheel, so you have to wait a little before turning (such a weird sensation behind ahead/on the turning point), the car doesn’t sound like its going to epxlode when it hits 4k rpm, and the fact that the body is so light you can just throw it around.

Good fun.

Second, its so funny how dumb people are getting these days. A few days ago, as some will notice, I made a twitter/facebook update, this is the explanation of what I was on about:
At Frankston station, you now have to actualy scan your ticket before the barriers will open, and with AO’s on the platform, you can’t just jump them. Its obvious that some people have been using melbournes public transport without a ticket… ever.

Trying to get onto the platform after a train and pulled in and passengers were disembarking, one young girl, she looked to be about 15 or 16 (fuck school holidays), was trying to get through the ticket barrier from the train. She had clearly NEVER used a ticket before in her life, even with her fried explain “put it in the slot with the arrow facing it”, she just couldn’t get it. I mean, how hard is it, to put the ticket into the slot (which has a picture of a ticket above it showing which way to insert it as well), the correct way around (arrow on the ticket too). She was triyng to put it into the top of the machine, swipe it over the slot, put it in SIDEWAYS (that is the long side of the rectangular ticket).

She eventually got it, but FUCK, how stupid are some people?

Oh, and on the instrument front, I finaly got myself my own guitar amp. A Marshall MG30R.

AND I wana update the 320gb Seagate HDD in my system. Someone recommend me a new HDD thats cheep!

I now have 4 guitars.

Three electric and one acoustic.

Do I really need 4 guitars? Probably not.

The Strat on the left, is a Legacy I bought from cash converters, as I wanted something with single coils, and some form of tremolo.

The Semi-Acoustic on the right, my Greg Bennett RL1, first guitar, has humbuckers, and does rock-and-roll extreamly well, and playing unpluged fairly well as well.

The green and black guitar was custom painted and the electronics re-done in it as a learning exercise on a $29 Catch-Of-The-Day special.

The acoustic I got because I wanted an acoustic.

Do they all get played? Yes. Lots.
