Back by Popular Demand!
...If by 'popular demand', you mean 'my girlfriend asked me to post more so that she knows what I am up to.'
OK, well, it pretty much been work, work, work. I have one fantastic listing, and I am confident that I will get a contract on it this month - which will make me very happy.
In the ongoing saga of my car, my indicator is still messed up, simply because my local mechanic didn't have the diagnostic equipment neccessary to link up to SAAB Europe and sort out the electrical bug. For some reason, there was an 18-month period of where the electrics were slightly different (only on my model) and my local boys could treat any other model under the sun, except mine.
With Gold Coast SAAB no longer in existence, and the Brisbane mob a bunch of overcharging incompetents (to paraphrase my mechanics) I am going to the next-nearest guy, who comes highly reccomended.
The downside? He's in Lismore. So, it's a roadtrip for me on Wednesday - all to get my bloody left indicator firing properly. For some idiotic reason, I still love my car, and am glad that I didn't get a Corolla or something boring and pedestrian like it. SAAB POWAH!!
I am still eyeing off a nice late 80's or 1990 model 900 Aero for my next vehicle, which is probably a good indication that I am both in love with my SAABs and stark raving bonkers. Ah well.
In other news, it seems that damn near everyone is turning 21 this month (well, ok, only a couple of people, but still) so my next few Saturday nights will be taken up with merry-making and fun. It will make my next few Sunday open homes a little less fun - but Sundays are high traffic days, and I don't have enough sales on the board to neglect them just yet.
That's it for now. I have been posting heaps on my other blog, but it's purely work-related and probably a bit less interesting... or not... You be the judge.
Why do I want one of these? I don't know.
Just wait until I can afford to buy and restore an early 70's Sonnet.... Then there'll be strife...
