Thread: Embarrassment

Well Karen brought herself another little car. It's a gold 1992 model Subaru like old one but not lowered has standard mags. It's only got 2 marks in the paint other then that it is immaculate condition. Went through the glove box yesterday & found all the paper work on the car since new all work done all services. Even has the original owners manual & the extra original service booklets. It's perfect inside. It's automatic drives perfectly even has a tow bar. Thenaircon works awesome only just been regased. It was advertised for $1600 then he had it the next day for $1200. Karen messages him said she give him $900 cash. But when she got there said oh it's auto it said manual in the add. So she said I'll give you $700 cash & turned to leave & he said $800 so Karen said yep. He was leaving the country the same day it was Thursday. Just in the right spot at right time. It does need a wash though. I'll take some pics tomorrow & post em up.

Well, a new/second hand car should make it easier for Karen. Be a bit cheaper to run than the D1, Jase!!

Yeah it will be. Plus it's an auto. Karen rang the specialist the other day we can't get into there till the 19th of next month. We going to get another blood test before we go there as Karen is getting very tired again & is feeling nauseas every day aswell.


I went &brought a new vice cause I had to finally throw the old one out as it broke again & just couldn't be repaired anymore. I also got the wheels & the metal to build a centre bit of the chassis so can put the body cab back together in the shed on it. I nearly finished it. Should get it all done tomorrow. Having trouble with the wire feed on my new mig welder it loose rest feed while welding the wheel slips that pushes it. I'm using .8 wire so I'll try some .9 tomorrow see if it feeds that better. Oh yes it's the right size on the wheel for .8.

Ok so this is what ive been doing. Pulling the center wall out of shed.















And this is Karens new little car











And that's about that for this lot..Now have to UPDATE Harrys thread

I just drove Karens car. The first time I did drive it was to put it in the yard. & I noticed it had a slight slip. Just took it up the street therea slight slip in D. But when I came back to park it I put it in R & hit the accelerator pedal & there's a big slip in R. Bugga. I will check the fluid in the trans on the weekend hopefully it's just low. If not I'll check the filter if it not that then the bands will need adjusting if not that then the valve body is stuffed. But Karen says it's fine when she drives. She is very weary now since the accident & has slowed down somewhat. So should be ok till I check it out.

Did you get the auto box sorted, Jase????
