Walked past mine with my golf clubs because the bloody things will not fit into the boot.

When you turn your car on, does it return the favour?

Only a Spinach and Ricotta sausage roll would be worth driving 90ks for - surely? :wink:

Hey Gladiator - can I ask how much & points a tail light defect is worth in Qld? I have some smokey front blingers to fit.. :beer:

Where to?

Wife & I use to drive to Meningie just for their sausage rolls at the bakery ... 290 km round trip ... but since new owners last year they're not worth it :cry:

I've heard the Port Elliott Bakery is worth a visit. Might try it out over Easter. Always a nice drive anyway :)


BTW - replaced the CAS O-Ring yesterday ...

Nairne bakery. great destination bakery. Treat yourself via Belair Road, clarendon road, Acklands hill, Scott creek, Mylor, river road, hahndorf and back via balhannah, lobethal, lenswood, deviation road, summertown (stop at the deli and grab some mixed lollies) then across Ashton and down new Norton Summit Road.

Sounds good. Will note all that and give it a run sometime. I haven't been up Belair Road in years....

I'm sure the clubs do but your bag doesn't or just remove your passenger seat, stick the clubs there and drive around the course like it's a golf buggy.

.. or get one of these

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
