Oh wow, you're making a young squirt like me feel like an old fart
Yeah my AUII's birthday is the day after my wedding anniversary, although the AUII is 8 years older.

Since were on the subject, the frames for my house went up the day I was born. My parents also built the house because i was coming, so they needed a bigger one.

Sorry to hear about the write off, mate. I know it's and old saying but cars can be replaced; you can't.

Good luck with the next project

Well rego and insurance was cancelled today.. :(


aah well....


Gaso and au3xr6 - It can't be repaired without brand new chassis rails, so yeah.. My dad works for/with the RTA anyway, so he knows all about the laws.

Ronwest - Cheers man... Thankfully the EF is still my main project, and with the insurance money I hope to throw a manual and AU3 VCT engine in the black wags and finish the interior..
