been following the wangler forums closely.

first couple of proper schools are starting to round the point.

This was passing through Hamelin Bay on the weekend. Photos like this make me froth at the mouth. Should be perfect timing for a trip at easter :) Im going down there this weekend, should be interesting indeedily

Do tell more Dave..

I had 2 good friends with hail damaged cars that needed to get returned to stock before taking them in to their insurance people :( and just got home now after a very long day.

Next weekend is Easter weekend and it's going to be chaos down there but I'll be ready the weekend after Easter. I've been told be work that I'm not allowed back until the foot is 100% normal :( another 10 weeks at home...
