KKtrips Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 I think its called a sun or something - not totally sure - never saw it when I was at Pinkys.. It's very bright and shone into my workshop warming me up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 About 2 minutes away from 208 and 4 minutes from 308/Russells.. LOL Just checked the number and its nearly the trifecta - its right across the road from where 108 would be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivaspeed Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 LOL typo "new lockup is much less substantial than the new one" - is it shrinking on you? How does it compare with old one? Looks like a decent place. KNOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I only have half that place - the other half has a boat in it.. But yeah its entirely adequate to work on cars and store crap and do perks - but not all at the same time. Oh yeh I gathered that (re: boat lol). defintly not that same but beats the side of the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaz Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I think its called a sun or something - not totally sure - never saw it when I was at Pinkys.. It's very bright and shone into my workshop warming me up.. Oh no! You poor bastard. I suppose you can always shut the door and tell it to fuck off though. Good shit with the organisation! It looks even better in those pics than it did after Sunday afternoon's effort. You should have posted before and after pics with the "we just unloaded the trailer and van, dumped everything on the floor and ran" decorating scheme from Saturday for maximum impact.

KKtrips Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hah - I never took any before - but for an image I'll put it this way for those who never saw it. A couple people had actual serious doubts I would struggle to even maneouveur around inside the lock up with all my crap and for sure I'd never be able to park a car in it - let alone park a car and do an engine swap.. I am pretty comfortable I can do an engine swap in there now I have everything away. Even more so after the wooden bench is gone and my engine is on its engine stand. I like this pic.. Shows my tetris skills are at pro level.. I even still have room for some more minor hoarding some day.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Shit yeh thats so lush. Had a tidy up of my garage in the weekend and I definitly need more suitable storage/shelves as it sitll looks like Ive just checked everything on the floor haha. Shelves and palstic boxes/bins are where its at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllTorque Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Fark. What hit the windscreen? Looks like the mighty holden was doing 234km/h on impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 A hawk - those things are solid - top of the screen is pushed in about an inch. I was driving along the backroads from Levin to Shannon and a hawk was chowing on some roadkill - it jumped up and started flying down the white line on the roadside and I swerved to give it about a metre clearance - at the last second it carved in front of me and took off upwards. I hit it doing maybe 100-110. Gave me a cunt of a fright. Worst thing was if I hadn't swerved then I would have missed it and it would have gone down the right hand side of my car.

Nominal Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Feckin hawks can be scary. I collected one years back in a Chevette. Seemed like it hit the screen right in front of my face. Didn't break though, which was lucky. Now I mostly slow down and give them time to get into the air before I get there. Was that you stopped by the Otaki river this arvo?

KKtrips Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yeah - was having a nana nap.. Made it a whole hour out of Fielding before feeling the need to stop.. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Did the hawk survive? Poor hawk. It was just having dinner and you just had to serve to hit it...... You cruel ruthless raptor murderer you. Meanwhile- your shed is better than the one I had for 3 years. If it rained hard the floor flooded. In winter it was fucking cold. Snow would threaten to fall through the thin plastic roof. (I sound like one of the three Yorkshire men) It barely fitted a small Japanese car... Check out comfy floor. And the mess...

My name is Russell Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Novis should be able to simply fill that crack, or insure it for 5k and cash in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
