Car Owner

well... today i bought my first car!! A 1986 Ford Fairmont with 246,540 miles on it. As co-owner of the car I haven't thought of a name yet but i'll update you on that. Also you can often times upload pictures over here so i will be doing that soon. Tonight is my last night in Sydney. Last night Nick and I went out to the local "bar" seen which is way more like the American "clubs" and it was pretty weird. I got a hard time from the bouncers for wearing Trainers (tennis shoes) he told me that the bar I was about to enter had a dress code that didn't include trainers and only let us in after a bit. Pretty lame if you ask me. All the guys inside had on leather and gator skin shoes which the bouncer not so politely recommended I purchase at an average price of about A$ 200 a pair. Since that is my budget for about 10 days i not so politely told him to F*** off. After all was said and done i prefer the pubs, or maybe even just the beach as a nightlife location.
Nick met some "doctor" in South Africa with a place in Avoca Beach which is about 50 miles north of Sydney where we're planning on crashing for a few days and getting the car ready for the trip. We'll be installing 20 inch plasma screen in the back and probably refitting the interior with leather and oak paneling. Along with the 24 inch rims and 5 sub woofer system its a pretty pimpen overall ride, enough I know to make X-ibit jealous.
Overall plan is get to Cairns which is about as far from Sydney as Maine is from Florida so it'll be a long trip. For the first time in my life i'll be heading North and be getting closer to the equator. Anyways look forward to more picture soon I promise and here is one the the pre-pimped ride. Love everyone and miss you.
