    This pic is from around 1990, this is Mischief. Half Siamese princess, half Tabby, her mum was a show cat, she escaped for a night and got herself knocked up. She lived to almost 20. She loved sitting on the warm hood of my car whenever I got home.

    I've always been partial to the look of bronze wheels, but I also like the gun metal as well. Red paint with gold/bronze wheels gives me these vibes.

    So the red markers are evacuate, the orange ones are prepare to isolate or evacuate, and yellow is stay informed. I'm in a yellow zone, and not in any danger, but roads are starting close to the north and west.

    Microfibers are super linty.

    I sometimes wonder if they pick up lint in the washing process, if one bad one goes in it releases lint that the others pick up. I haven't tried washing my premium MFs seperate to the "general duty" ones.

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Good to hear your "voice" Chilly. I'd gladly send you some of our rain, we've got plenty to spare.

    what's your weather currently like?

    No, the horses have raincoats, the cattle aren't so lucky, but they are well fed. One of the farmers was doing a drive by check as I walked past.

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    We had a dust storm come into Sydney back in about 2009, it came in from the outback so the dust was all red. This is what it was like when I was leaving for work that morning. It had blown out to sea by early afternoon. But every car in Sydney that was parked outside was filthy.

    Post Your Unpacking Pictures

    Delivered today, Amazon special, $28.99, I know, I know, cheap rubbish, but it had reasonable reviews, mainly about calibrating and checking before each use. So far for the Qashqai, a high of 223um on the hood, the doors in the 150s, and the roof 180-196. The FJ though, sides 250-300, hood 160-...

    What did you do today non-detailing related?

    That price increase is a bit rude. We've had that 10c recycling thing in for a while, I don't bother with it. But we keep them and give them to my Nephew, originally it was pocket money for his boys, but now he's bought a house, it goes to upgrades and repairs for the house. I asked him what's...

    Very nice, love that colour. The reflections are so good it's hard to tell what colour it is out in the sun.

    Sadly there is no Akrapovic exhaust available for the FJ, I wonder if they do exhaust tips. :ROFLMAO:

    Try not to let it get to you Deyon, we've all made mistakes, you owned it, and passed it on so we don't do it, but I can tell you now, someone else will still do it. If it wasn't for you, I'd still be using Carpro Eraser incorrectly. On a side note, I can now understand why you don't like...

    I heard this just passing through somewhere, and it stuck in my brain.

    I was a big Merrell Moab GTX fan, but they've become so uncomfortable I can't wear them regularly, I bought some Skechers which were very comfortable, but I wore the tread smooth in 4 months. So I got some Adidas to replace them, they're going great at 3 months but they're no good in all the...
