Farewell Bluebird

After only 8 months (or so) of driving a nice powerful turbo’d Bluebird (import, so turbo was stock- did do some modifications to it though), I decided I’d had enough and sold it. Main reason is was that the waste gate on the turbo was sticking open, so all the compression was bleeding straight out, and an estimated cost to fix was $1600 – or higher 
So, sold it to a couple of Box Hill-ians who knew jack all about cars, and were happy that it had mags, a sub, and a blowoff valve. They called on on Thurs, came to see it on Friday, bought it in cash today (Sunday). Because of the rapidity of the sale, no time to organise a RWC…they didn’t even care! Poor bastards. Still, it got me this, so I’m happy.
In any case, looking for some form of 4 door cab with tub (go Hilux) to act as my mode of transport, and of course a dirtbike to go on the back.
In the meantime, driving an Astra…sigh

[...] some reason the car I’m currently driving (a Holden Astra – see here for why) wasn’t working this morning. And of course I was already leaving late to go to work. [...]
