Nothing ... FTW ...

Did an oil change 2 weeks ago, and minor service... That was about it ... But only cause it was overdue...

Other than that, just been driving it and getting the cobwebs cleaned out, as I have been taking the ute to work most of the time... and all this week has been on the bike...

Ute is up for rego ... Bye $900 ....

1) Fill with petrol
2) Add music to ipod
3) Laugh at my front right wheel nuts being blue
4) Use rag to clean off bird sh*t
5) Look at my car and come up with things to do to it that I probably never will
6) Wake up at a retarded hour on Saturday morning
7) Pick up iPilot from city at 5am

Drive to bonfire with several cases of beer with two 17 year olds in the car.
