Last Wednesday was awesome. My work place is not exactly famous for being kind to it's workers. So when the news came in that we were to be attending a Subaru driving session at Eastern Creek I took to it with open arms.
Had the honour of being driven around the wet pan at Eastern Creek Raceway in a Subaru WRX with one of Australia's premier rally drivers. This was the same guy that freaked big Chief Harrigan on the Footy Show in the Dare Devils segment in Canberra. I can see why he got scared. This guy is awesome... I mean nuts!
Got some photo's up on Flickr at the moment and click here to see the video of my ride with the WRX on You Tube.

Today I did a whoopsie. I hit my car into a car park pilon while reverse parking. Now while I give you time to laugh and say suck shit let me explain. The pilon was the same colour as the wall behind it. So looking into the side rear mirror it simply looked like the wall. But I heard a sickening crunch and I was totally confused as to what the hell had happened at the time! Why paint the pilons the same colour as the wall? In a dark underground carpark too. Well so now I am left with a buckle in the rear quarter panel of the driver side. The main reason why I liked the car to begin with was the fact it was so straight too! DOH! So now I need to track down a good panel beater.
