Just got back from a week up Barrington tops. Fantastic trip, had a blast and the car performed extremely well with the new tyres and suspension.
Couldn't be happier.![]()
At 5:30am, I went outside and I couldn't see the dog. Grabbed my torch and did a 'patrol' of the fence line and no holes - so where's the dog?
I found it tucked up in the corner of its kennel. It didn't even get out of bed to say good morning. I'd say it had a 'shocking' experience or two,
and won't forget me in a hurry.
Problem solved! Should have bought the fence years ago!
Now to tell the wife. lol

Onya, roofy. Good to hear.
What made my week was I got the engine pipe replaced on Wednesday, but the manifold/ engine pipe gasket let go this morning.
I took the Old Trol back to Matt at the exhaust place and he told me to bring it back at 4.
I got there at 1/2 3 and he got started on it. All three studs broke when he tried a new gasket.
The problem was the engine pipes weren't welded square to the flange and were fouling the manifold.
Matt stripped of the manifold, drilled tapped and replaced all three studs and modified the engine pipes to fit.
He finished the job at 1/2 6. He was going to get a credit from the engine pipe manufacture so there was no extra charge to us!!
If you are touring around this great country and you find you have need of an exhaust repair, definitely go to Portland Exhausts and you will get the job done right.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
