    My new life is soon to begin...

    Well, I am getting things organised to move to the country, 5.5 acres of nice land about 20 mins from work via the Grasstree hill "Targa" stage, which has a 60 km/h speed limit posted on it these day and is pretty icy at this time of the year.
    The caravan is home until I can build a house.
    "Gunter" my old competition Mk1 and my Caddy ute sit up there in my 10x12 metre shed. Plenty of room in the shed to house the GTI and van, plus I will section part off for a living area!




    Cheers, Andrew

    Thanks Josh, yep, should have a bit of time soonish for the caddy, I did 21,000 kms in Gunter whilst using him as a comp car and parts delivery car over 6 1/2 years. Not sure what to do with him these days. Who says Mk1's are unreliable? Maybe I should fit the 9A out of the ute into him and have a well sorted partially worn out road car....
    Hmmm, toughie, not real sure just yet. If I ever get my feet back on the ground I would like to build a later model golf to go and play with.

    Thanks fellas, its been a battle over the last few years but hopefully I can focus very shortly!
    Camping spots are available to you when you ever get down here!! Or theres always the shed which will have the entertainment theatre in it.

    Exactly what I was thinking, having just said goodbye to one of my cars this saturday, (to a tasmanian buyer for 'sensible reasons') I love the sense of priority!! Man it must get cold in that caravan.

    Ahhhh you lucked out! Usually guys buy garages with free houses included in the sale!
    Oh well, I'd settle for a set up like that!
