Hi I must be the luckiest boy in town, we've sold our one bedroom flat in london and are soon to be moving to Sydney. Where can i buy tools, good tools for the car and for diy? not cheap k-mart stuff but professional quality stuff. 🙂

Bloody nora, the place is full of them :P

Thanks for all the words of encouragement, it's been a hell of a job to do up and sell the flat, the cars too and give up two careers but its gotta be worth it.

I knew when I left the girl in Sydney that id marry her and we would have to live on one side of the earth or the other, she's been here for just over 7 years and its time to see the other side of the world.

on the subject of cars, ive had my fillof restoring vws for he moment, ive promised ill build a EK special with an Audi V6 TDi engine in two tone pink for the mrs, she said she'd swap one for her ghia, then i can put the quaiffe gearbox in that and build the 2332 turbo motor 😀😀😀

looking for the good life.

Lol,
as for your dreams of the EK, speak to Helbus (you can find him on the 'tomorrow people' thread. He was one of the group that made a beautiful stretch EH not long back. He's a panel beater by trade.

It might be exy in Sydney but I reckon the sale of a one bedroom flat in London would probably buy half of Manly.
