Shagna not yet sold. The guy who was going to test drive it on Monday had a bad back and went to the doctors instead, hasn't gotten back to me yet, but we'll see if that goes anywhere. Also had another enquiry yesterday:

'Hi, interested in your car, however I'm a Uni student so I don't have large amounts of money, what would be the lowest you'd be willing to sell for? please text me back, thanks'

Poor babby doesn't know how haggling works, bless. I sent a message back just saying, 'Thanks for your interest! What sort of price are you hoping for?' because two can play at that game =| I've already posted my figure, you then make an offer lower than that and we meet somewhere in the middle. I mean I was originally hoping for $3k and I've already dropped the list price to $2700 so y'know. The more of that I can recoup, the better. Plus side, I've had two people contact me since I dropped it to $2700, so I think I've hit the right spot to get interest, at least.

Meanwhile, Adelaide is once again alive with the sound of V8s. Clipsal traffic hasn't been nearly as bad as other years, though. In the past it's made my bus trip from the Hills to the city take an extra hour in the mornings, basically stuffing up the entirety of the eastern suburbs. This year, though, Fullarton Road has been flowing remarkably well. I haven't even needed to leave home early to get to work on time. Yesterday I got in early what is this madness. I still maintain that the March public holiday should be on the Friday of the Clipsal, though, rather than the Adelaide Cup. Oh well.

YAY MAD MARCH AWAAAAAY

  • Bought shelves! Everything was in stock! Score. I'll build the unit tomorrow, I hope.
  • Second to pitying people who don't like fish is people who can't get kangaroo. I had an impromptu classy night (on a Thursday, wtf) because the sauce came out SO WELL homg. There are only three ingredients to it (beef stock, red wine and cranberry jelly, plus pan juices from the roo) but it was so awesome. So I cracked a bottle of The Lane's Basket Press Shiraz. Cos. Decadent. God that's a good drop. I wanted Rockford but then remembered I don't have a waiter's friend and hence can't get into any of them. Damn Rockford and their corks.
  • I'm back to one row of boxes in the garage. I might have them all gotten rid of in like a month.
  • That blind is really festy. Deciding whether to either paint it or just ditch it entirely and get something new. Thinking I'll paint it then decide afterwards.
  • The city's alive with the sound of bogans. Getting to work is strangely nowhere near the task it was working in the city, where the Clipsal added on at least half an hour to a half-hour trip. Now, even though I'm driving through the actual road closures and work barely 2km from the racetrack, it's only added on 5 minutes. Can't hear any of it in the office, thank GOD, but as soon as I walk outside for lunch it's WHEEEEEEEH WHEEEEH WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH all through. Yay car racing.
  • The V8s I suspect have also made work pretty quiet. Everyone's either at the Clipsal or avoiding the Clipsal. They never broadcast this crap on the telly (or so I assume, having never actually watched it before) but it's the single event in Adelaide that consistently stuffs up traffic for a week and a half.
  • Shower time, then take photos of ebay stuff. Seriously 'narti get on that.
