Go fast colour, nice, enjoy the new drive.

Thanks, I'm hoping that it will give me plenty of joy for at least another 15yrs.  :cheers:

Thier complaint was apparently copy / pasted from SovCit sources, so may be the Council's response should also be made available for everybody else to copy as required ;D

Who remembers fuel pumps like this.
Right on the kerb/gutter.
And don't be shy, mention the different brands, there were many.

South of Adelaide was the magic mile, every conceivable brand of petrol station including Neptune, at the start of the mile was Neptune Garden complete with Neptunes statue, we had our wedding photos taken there on a 42degree day 41 years ago.

We had an earthmoving business in Leichhardt (Ipswich). It was also a Neptune fuel depot. It was a trip in the Ford Popular on Saturday mornings with the old man to go and get petrol for the week. Always a chance for an ice cream.

You lucky bugger, good score.
According to the NRMA, We need to brace for a big hike soon.
Some times I wonder why I have been a member for nearly 40 years(my father bought me membership when I first got my licence and first car), all they tell me is doom & gloom.
Well hello, I know this Shit already.

Mechanic in Eltham that did our servicing when we still lived in Melb had the walls of his workshop lined with collected and immaculately restored old bowsers.

I paid 204.9 for diesel a couple of days ago, & just looking at Spy now, there's a couple of places at 201.9!

Hell of a thing to get excited about, when, less then 12 months ago, we were only paying 160-170 ::) :'( >:(

How much weight you lose when you fart
He said everyone farts 1.5 litres a day.
It might not be a proven method for dropping the kilos, but Aussie celebrity scientist Dr Karl Kruszelnicki has revealed how much weight you can lose from farting.

We went down to the club meeting last night and premium diesel was 194.9c/lt at the Ampol opposite The Glen shopping centre on Springvale Rd. Petrol 209.9c/lt.

Just wish diesel would drop that low up here!
