Rims are just usual "sunraiser" style that 90% of 4wds run. Probably try again end of year when I don't have a deadline and worse than bald tyres

Looks pretty good Tim...  :goodjob:

- once again a stone or an object similar to it hit my car's driver door resulting in a deep dent and paint damage - going to a shop next week for this and a sill repair, which was damaged by another debris last fall (it was hard to spot, so I put it off for a more convenient time, that has come)

Oh $hit! Sorry Jamie, I thought you said a while ago the oil companies did ok either way..  :undecided:

Gosh, I haven't been on here in a while...

+ moved out of our old flatlet the weekend of the 28th/29th of March and we were due to move into the newly renovated house by the 30th, but as of today the house still isn't 100% done, which brings me to the next point...
- I have been staying in a guest house for the past week and it really is getting to me. No computer and no internet which means no forums or series or movies to keep me occupied, and work has been pretty hectic as well. Currently all our stuff is in storage at the moment, which means every day is a routine of waking up, moving a quick load from the storage to the house, working from 8 till 5, moving another load or two in the evening after work until about 21:00 then going to the guest house to sleep. Dead tired, I am. About to give up, I am not!
+ We should be having our first night in the finished house on Thursday if all goes well, and we should be settled by mid April if the builders don't mess up again :rolleyes:
+ I was starting to miss you lot on here, believe it or not :whistler:
