G'day all.

Last Saturday we had some of our car club members over to help prepare our club newsletter for mailing.

In general conversation, Colin who owns a 1957 Morris Minor said to me:

Well Barry! you don't drink, you don't smoke and you don't gamble! How do you get your fun out of life?

It took all of 1 second to reply:

The look on his face was priceless :rolleyes: Didn't say a thing AND all he could do was shake his head

Regards ...................... Barry

PS Needless to say, whenever I get to see my two grand-daughters its awfull hard to get the smile off my face.:clap:

I get a good kick out of life with my Torana's, friends & family, my lovely fiancee of course, the forums, talking cars and discussing all the usual stuff, snowboarding (when I can), photography, and I'm obviously very passionate about our car club, and love nothing more than constantly looking forward to the next event or cruise or show... especially the weekends away like Springnats etc... those kinda things are what my life seems to revolve around... being heavily involved on the Eastside committee has been one of the best things I've ever done... the people you get to meet and contacts you make is fantastic... it's a pity that sometimes the full-time job gets in the way... but at least our work put on great parties and work-lunches etc... :)

I'm sure there are heaps more things that should be on my list, but that's what popped into my head in the 30 seconds it took me to reply...

i used to smoke pot
i still drink beer
and driving to work on the highway everyday for over the last 10 years is enough of a gamble for me.

I spend time looking at my cars, but never doing anything, and are into saltwater marine aquariums.

Am i going to heaven? Hell no, Im going straight down, thats where all the sluts are.

I have plenty of fun.. I really can't complain.

I make video games for a living.
Drink beer on the weekends
Play poker with my mates (and at the casino on rare occasions)
Don't smoke ciggies, just the occasional cigar or a puff of my hookah
go snowboarding when ever possible

And between it all I work on my torrie.. if I have spare cash.
I can't wait till its finished so I can spend my time cruising.

frying a set of new tyres :D
........... I know it makes no sense, destroys the car , destroys a set of perfectly good tyres, means I have to repaint the car twice a year :rolleyes: , destroys my bank balance, makes the car useless for much else :rolleyes: ,.............. yet for some reason I am unable to explain .............its fun :spoton:

only things in life more fun are my wife and our pets :D
