today involved a lot of car-related stuff. went round to Jon’s with Si and his new car. turns out it was an elaborate ruse to get me and Si to help Jon wash all his cars. we washed Si’s car too. 4 cars later, Si learnt how to change his oil. after a lot of effort and bending of tools, we finally got his old oil filter off.

went into Porirua to buy new car parts, and to eat lunch. cruised back to Jon’s after where we replaced bits of Si’s car. Si waxed it later and me and Jon installed his new stereo.

came home, then i drove over to the Hutt for the Frequency Car Rally. it was great fun. the kids had to do a bunch of challenges, including pretending to be cars and driving through the McD’s drive-thru, singing various songs at various locations, collecting interesting items and taking photos of things. my team won :o)

my car didn’t do so well though :o( at the first stop, another driver sideswiped my car as he was pulling out. nothing too serious (i think) and his insurance should cover everything. my car has a bit of frontal damage, and the passenger door doesn’t open anymore, but it still drives fine.

my poor car…

hopefully it won’t take ages to sort everything out, and i’ll be able to get my WOF (which is due in a month…)

meh…
