Fitted an Omgpham offset number plate mount. Looks great except I discovered a nasty abrasion mark from the original plate bracket fouling on the front bar (which is now exposed). Fixing that will be next weekend's job.

Loaded the clubs. These are long shafted clubs with a tote bag that has an extra 2" at the bottom of the bag for the stand mechanism. I have to take the woods out first to fit this set in the boot. A standard bag and standard length clubs fit without pulling the woods out. Two of us usually go to golf in this car, carrying 2 sets of mens cubs and a buggy. The second bag gets strapped behind the roll bar.

Greg, You should have bought an NA if you wanted to carry clubs.

An NA boot is more usable for the important things like race wheels and golf clubs.

Hi manga,
I could pack my clubs and stuff for an overnight into the NB boot without any bother. I have an image of a set of clubs in an NC boot that I will endeavour to post, although they were either childrens clubs of the owner plays on his knees

That's strange. I thought you'd be able to fit a full golf cart in a barge.

Washed it, was about time. Forgot what colour it was when it's not covered in dirt.

Also, got warned for 60 in a 40 zone; through the roundabout my house is on the corner of. Amazing how a cop's glance immediately triples the power output of my car, being able to get from backing out of the drive to 60kmh within about 12 metres is a nice change. If he'd come watch at Lakeside I'd be able to run sub-60s first time out.

Bought a pair of rear mudflaps and an NB hardtop. Will be getting both painted green before fitting.

bought a couple small Mazdaspeed badges (only 25mm square) from Honkers on Ebay - $7 including post - for an interior project I'm working on..

fastish post and pretty good quality - although they need re-glueing onto the cast chrome back bit - might also make nice cuff links or body piercings? :roll:
