Back from Adelaide

Got back from our week long trip to Adelaide, Well what can I say had a great time. Great state, didnt see as much as we would have liked but still had a ball, the Adelaide hills were are great day out spent most of our time in Hahndorf, had lunch at the German Arms YUMMY, some very nice towns through the hills recon would be a great place to live, Also checked out the Birdwood Motor Museum, some great stuff on display. Spent the hottest day at the beach at Glenelg, went shopping in the city on another day in Rundall Mall. Really enjoyed our day out at Victor Harbour and the drive back from VH to Cape Jervis and back to Adelaide, Easily some of the best driving roads I've been on, sea on one side and Valleys on the other absolutly beautifull. The one thing I noticed about S.A. drivers was that they seem to not be in a flat out hurry like most of the morons on our roads in Vic. And the 25kph roadworks limits everyone obeys them, there would be riots in Vic if the limits were like this. ended up taking the XR8 for the practicality, more room for suitcases etc. Ran like a dream, except for tyre ptoblems, needed to get a full set of tyres the morning we were to leave for home. The boys at BOB JANE in Plympton were fantastic did me a good deal on a set of Pirellis.

Yeah Bob Jane's not a bad mob I've found. Glad you had a good time. Adelaide is liveable, with some nice lifestyle things. For Xtreme excitement an occasional visit to Sydney or Melbourne does the trick for me.

I did your wheel alignment.

Hope it drives straight

It was my first day as a trial for a wheel alignment job they have going.

I'm not taking the job.....
