Hi all. I am 60 and just retiring, I have been in the building trade for the past 40 years commercial plastering, mainly new shop fitouts and have run out of puff. Leave it to the young blokes. I live in Coffs Harbour because its slow, easy to get around, near enough to everywhere and perfect weather, friendly people and just love it. Have worked most of my life in Canberra and my boys are there running the business. I have been a rev head all my life, even as a highway patrol cooper S driver in the 60's. Just sold a absolute rocket mitsubishi mirage 12.8 standing quarter car which was a sleeper, GT28R turbo, billet and forged everything Cost me $60k always had my hand in my wallet. But now have a new Astra CDTI dark blue. In for its first service in a couple of weeks and then will fit my DTUK CRD2 which is in transit from UK at the moment. I will keep you posted on its install and progress. Love to travel and commute between Canberra and Gold coast regularly. Regards Tappets.
