Hellbus that sounds like a dream garage,hopefully when we buy a house we'll be doing the same thing.
Penguin we're travelling up with Dean & co but we're actually camping in the splitty but i'm sure we'll be frequent visitors to your side of the
park!!
Jen good to hear from you.Yep the splitty is pretty much done & getting ready for her maiden voyage to Valla....can't wait,6 more sleeps till we head
off.We're taking 3 weeks off & taking her up to QLD for a visit as well,get away from this cold Melbourne weather for a while!
Oh....Snap.....!

OMG Zac...4 years!!! It must be interesting though hey??
Yes I'm a bit too busy...not much free time with this job....I did have it easy there for a while...I think I need some balance which I'm sure will
come..this year has just been a bit full on but it should start levelling out soon to some normality...
Eddie and I might take off at Christmas for a couple of weeks when the bank closes down in my area...kids will be away so good chance to disappear too
and get away
Yes Rob I'm still alive!!

The Coopers Brew kit comes with 30 bottles. They are PET, and that is not a bad thing, they are easy to test when bottles are carbonated fully and
ready by giving them a quick squeeze.
It works out costing $18 to do 30 bottles of beer. That's about 30 cents a stubbie, or $7.20 a slab

Get a Coopers Micro Brew kit with the 30 bottles. Has everything to make your first brew. Can't stuff it up, easy as. Cost about $80 and you end up
with approx 2 1/2 slabs worth of beer.

Hey $2.63 yes I will get him to Valla for sure next time...once he realises that cruising with veedubbers means that you leave the Holden Vacationer
at home AND I drive 
Well we met at a VW cruise...though he was a passenger and first timer and he is open to us getting a kombi camper to venture further afield.....Nah
he is wonderful and enjoys the club even if he is pretty shy around us colourful, outgoing lot :tree
Hmmm we have to decide which car goes first

Thanks for the support $2.63. Rest assured ol Pige will stay just as she is! I just like stirring the pot with me ol mate Stanley. Sure is good to see
Jenz back. And I dont think anyone could feel happier than me about her finding a good bloke, and a VW virgin too. Think of the fun she's gunna have
bringin him over to the dark side of VW obsession state of mind! Hows the Kombi owner thing going, its pretty good havin a bed everywhere ya go,
breathalyser eat your heart out! Just have a spew in the gutter and then jump into bed! how goods that!

GrRrrR.. no need to drive my kombi round to vomit outside your window pengy, I could walk if I wanted to, sheesh I walked home from micks when daisy
had surgery. but i have to admit it could be a good way to fill in a boring evening, just goin round the 'hood' vomiting on the gardens of the
elderly 
Kombi is good rob, so far I have had two fellas sleeping in the back of it :thumb it's not just a chick magnet, men, children, even dogs hurrah for
kombi's. so much more sociable than a 2 seater baja :bounce: |

Yesterday we went and picked up a heap of shelves for the garage. I hate stuff being on the floor, so it is all good. Best bit was we picked the
shelves up in the bus, so you see it is a workhorse too.
Later in the day we went to a dyno day, and the bus ripped an awesome 101hp at the rear wheels.

Yeah, I guess it is close enough to walk over there from your new place. BTW ty for the dinner.
Tried to clean up the garage today, but mowing the lawn took over, then it was too much to get back into the shed.
I think I may need to take a few days off work and get in there.

Mowing the lawn that's a good one around our house  We have only clay and dirt, no grass. It makes for a lot of fun when you try
to cross the yard after rain :lol

Yeah
can understand that. As much as I need the extra height, if I walk around the front of my place in my work boots I end up around two inches taller by
the end from the mud sticking to the treads!.

peter, just sealed my first batch of homebrew.
sterilisation is a pain in the arse..when you don't have a very big sink.
hopefully, this should all come out nicely tho.
EDIT: did you have any trouble keeping it warm? mine's dropped to 20degC...so i've had in sitting in front of the oven (which has been on for an hr
or so), i've also got it wrapped in a towel...
hrm...hope it stays warm enough.
