Well done.

At first glance I thought it just looked like a concrete slab. I thought, wow, he's bought him a car?

But great to be able to help out a mate. Likewise, good to have mates to help you out.
Why do people ask "What the hell were you thinking?"
Obviously I was thinking I was going to get away with it and not have to explain it....

My neighbour came over on Saturday morning to borrow few tools as he was fitting a lift kit to his Jeep (yes he bought a Jeep), so I loaded him up & help him carry them back over & left him to it.

Sunday morning I jump the fence to see how he was going, Well I ended up under car helping him finish the back end but had to leave to it as I was going to the footy.

Got back from the footy and thought I'll see how he went with the front end, after few trips through the fence in the dark for a few more tools, 11:30 that night I crawl back through the fence with it all done except for the extended brake lines but enough him to get to work on Monday.
Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.

X3 I thought the second photo was going to be that you had built him an outdoor deck area or something haha.

Great job I am sure he will appreciate it.

I'd like to Thank the Mod squad and the swaggers who worked together, to put an end to the dodgy shenanigans that have recently come to light.

The mods do a thankless job and keep everything running smoothly, and myswaggers looking out for each other, well, Thanks !!

I'm hoping I've helped this week. 

I sent a letter to the authorities letting them know how I feel about something that simply brings me to tears. 

Calstead Collies - the Scotch Collie FACTORY FARM - and the horrific way the "breeder" ( I use that term ... so you don't know what I really think ) raised and treated their breeding stock.   

Thankfully, the authorities have come to their senses, as today I've learned that 80 charges of animal cruelty have been bought against them.  Dogs Vic still have them as a registered "breeder" which is alarming.   

Having a Scotch Collie myself for many years (RIP Jack), I know first hand how wonderful these dogs are.  Their gentle, loving, trusting nature ... and to think what the "breeder" has done to them ... it truly breaks my heart.

I'm hoping and praying that my words to both authority, council and Dogs Vic will stop this "breeder" from every owning another animal in their lifetime.

I kept a pair of clowns blokes amused while they worked on a Landcruiser  ;D

I do remember doing a little bit of work there, e.g. identifying a white powdery substance under the carpet of said Landcruiser  :police:

And to Kit_e,  :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup:

Well done for standing up. These animal "breeders" need pulling back into humanity and I'm glad you have stood up for these dogs.

BTW - EvoWishesHeWasATurtle is the worst name ever to have to type into a post so from this point on you will be known as EWHWAT  ;D

Thanks oldmate & lino6! 

You too can help ... Animals Australia ... the voice for animals.

It's pretty awful stuff they tell us about ... but if we all Take A Stand ... just think how good that would be ... and it's all about personal choices when shopping ... and knowing just where stuff comes from and how it's treated before you eat it or take it home as a pet.

Stozz has it right ... rehoming is the best way ... so get your pet from the RSPCA!

Our last dog came from a rescue in Sydney. We will never buy a dog from anywhere else, other than a rescue. I feel sorry for these dogs that people just dump at the vet because they don't want them anymore. I think if you get sick of an animal and dump it you should be banned from ever having another.

I found a sick Koala when I was going to check the surf late this afternoon. Drove him down to Australia Zoo. He was not a very happy boy.  :'(

Hope he is ok.
