Just another bad day

So here is the day I was hoping to enjoy, just another 4wd adventure.


But I came around a corner, fish tailed and hit a tree (then did a 180, don't know how that happened though).



This was on the way home so I still had a good 4wd, it just took a little longer to get home than expected.

I’m lost on feeling though. I’m confused how it happened. I came out of it ok, mum is shaken up again.
I’m sad that I won’t be able to drive anywhere, but it is not going to bring me to tears.
The tow truck guy suggested that the car will be a write off, so I guess all of the work I’ve put into the car just dissapears.
I’m not particularly worried about the money on the car, because I’ve had a blast in it. But I kinda wish it lasted longer.
I could just replace the car, but does that mean I would have to go back to work to build the funds up again…
Does the freedom the car gives me outway the freedom I wanted from my own project…

Nasty,

I’d get a proper assessment before writing it off, looking at that external damage the only thing I can think of that I’d write it off for is kinked chassis rails.

That is assuming you’re willing to do the work on it yourself, if you were going to get it done “professionally” it’s probably a write off on cost.

Yarr Har

Well ye dirty land lubber.
We made it to international talk like a pirate day and some of us take it the extra step.

Spam on the rise again

For the longest time, I was getting next to no spam.
Now it seems that I am getting 3-4 every day.

I’ve started turning off comments for some of the posts that keep getting spam to stop the emails coming in.

One thing I noticed was that they all come from the same ip address (200.63.42.136). I would normally expect it to come from many addresses.

Just wondering if anyone else is suffering at this point in time?

I agree, spam is on the rise.

Most of mine are from various IP addresses, I can’t see any pattern.

I don’t seem to be having that problem. I’ve switched of trackbacks on all posts. I leave comments open until I start getting spam on that post, then I switch comments off for that post too. Perhaps you are just more popular than me
