Great to see this thread on the front page again!
OMG is it reall only 99 days to Christmas?
I'm on hols at the moment. Just a few things to straighen up then I'll be flying out to Mackay on Monday.
Speaking of 99 - NRMA have a promotion going - $99 for a car service and a free car wash thrown in, so I took my car in this morning. As usual the always find something that cost upward of $1000 to fix, new tyres and shocks. Will have to wait til after I get back.

I knew it would be you.....as soon as I saw 'is it really only 99 days til Xmas?' I went searching for a 'sparky' post.
How's the burying yourself in dirt and pretending you are a carrot working for ya???
Geez Icy.... tell 'em they're dreamin' and get a second quote first! NRMA think they've got you by the short bits me matey. 
Have fun in sunny Qld.
It's gorgeous weather in the SE right now.
Yeah I think you're right re they're dreamin' Dixo. I'll be taking it to my regular mechanic to see what he says before I do anything.
The funniest thing, drivin' along on the way back from where I had it serviced I could see a police roadblock way ahead so I took the next turnoff not to get pulled over. Last thing I needed was a lecture on worn tyres and a possible fine 2 days before I fly out on hols.
