    got the timing light and feeler gauges out. tuned a 173, 253 and 308. Very happy with the results as they were all miles out - all had been set by ear by qualified mechanics :(

    Took my 6 year old to Auskick in it, then down to 13th Beach/Barwon Heads for a surf.

    Sounds like a perfect Sandman day, all Aussie car, sport and pastime. I tinkered with my WB dashboard vents first, but decided i needed to retire to the couch.

    Not the Sandman but we loaded up the HQ van and went to a swap meet,best thing about vans is you don't have to unload them as soon as you get home,they make great cupboards
