Thread: NYE, what did you do?

Went to a friend of a friends party, caught up with alot of old friends. was a great night, slept all day thursday till i drove back to sydney for work that afternoon, and who did i see at the lights in a very good looking defender. DULLBIRD. that was me in the crappy BA falcon wagon with bits out of it everywhere!

GEE ZUZ

I'd have to be pretty bloody drunk before I slept under any of my mates

A mate and I went to the beach at Mooloolaba to take familys to see the fireworks (both of us in 130 dualcabs). After returning from the 8.30 fireworks to where we left the Landies (to escape the crowds and go home for some serious drinking) I was shocked to find that on my keyring I had the fuel filler key,house key but no door/ignition key. The key from Scott's 130 opened mine but no luck on the ignition. So then I set about bludgeoning the ignition/steering lock into submission after removing the column covers. Got home at 10.30 with a big screwdriver jammed through the lock to defeat the column lock and wires bridging the fuel and lights on.
Next morning with more light and tools removed the lock completely and went to Supercheap to get a through dash ignition switch. As I was connecting the switch the wife says "looking for this?" Hmm... at least it still fits the doors!
So then the next day(2/1/09) went to leave Buderim to return to Ipswich, reversing out their driveway, steering goes to full lock power steer fluid squirts out at an alarming rate. the steel pressure line rubbed through on the saddles on the chassis. Lucky British Offroad had one off a Disco which with a bit of bending did fit.
When I got home I went to my local Repco to try and order some new ones and the mate behind the counter says " nah, sorry no listings for Rover hoses... guess you'll just have to buy a Nissan!" So I replied "but that'd be like giving up".
