The 'look at what I did today' thread

It's a Mazda! A Roadpacer!

Sounds awful (Bar the fridge in the boot! ), but rare as rocking horse teeth!

Well spotted, that man.

Wing mirrors replaced by door mirrors and an SRS badge instead of RP could be 'custom' jobbies.

Its a Mazda or a Holden. Or are you seeing you something definitive either way, that I can't?

[NafemanNathan]

Did you read the article I posted a link to Iain? It's all there. It's a combined effort, but utimately a Mazda.

EDIT: Sorry Iain, I may have misinterpreted your question. Do you mean it could solely be a Holden without the Mazda lump? Yes, I guess it could be. I guess the mirrors suggest it is solely a Holden unless they've been swapped like Sailor suggested.

Looking at the Monaro GTS it looks like the grills and indicators and most other parts are interchangable...

So started the suspension yesterday and failed round 2 today [PERSEVERING FACE] I did however manage to get one thing done at least.

Today, I wrote a letter to a local establishment that refers to itself as a 'gastropub'.

No apologies for reproducing the text:

Dear Sirs,

Five of us came to eat at the Bourne Valley Inn last Friday. We all left disappointed.
To enumerate our experiences:

1. You list your Caesar Salad in two sizes. We ordered two small and one large. When they arrived, it was impossible to tell which was which. When this was pointed out, your friendly and courteous staff promptly brought the missing portion.

2. We have noticed that when the variant of Caesar Salad that contains fish is listed on a menu, the fish is usually mentioned. The BVI doesn’t do this. Unfortunately, two of the three salads were ordered by people who don’t eat fish. In consequence, they were able to eat only those portions of the dish that were not tainted by the taste. They went home hungry.

3. The third portion of the salad contained very little chicken. What had at first looked to be a reasonable plateful turned out to be mostly lettuce.

4. Our overseas guest said that the taste and texture of the Monkfish was acceptable. What a pity, then, that the quantity was barely sufficient for a starter and came with no extras. As a minimum for something approximating a soup or stew, we would have expected some bread. Our guest went home hungry.

5. The Venison was nicely cooked, if lukewarm. Unfortunately, two mouthfuls do not make a meal. The mashed potato was overcooked and the dish was over-reliant on greens.

6. The tables ranged along the bar are unsuitable for five people. This part of the layout is a bustling corridor. Two of us were frequently brushed against by other customers. It was a busy night for you. Had you not been able to fit us in comfortably, you should not have accepted the booking.

We did not find that the quality of your offering is anywhere near sufficient to justify your prices, let alone the hyperbole of your marketing. You did at least remove one item from the bill.

Yours faithfully,

Just bought a load of extra JDM stuff for the Type-S

Acquired a new skill......... Carpet fitting.


If I'd known how easy it was i'd have done the house ages ago...........

Carpet fitting isn't too hard actually. Well done, but I'm more impressed by your apparent patience/finish with tiling tbh (and also with Sailors prose - of which even @donald might be proud!)
