Checked out of the hotel just before. There was a cop checked in cos I saw a surprised valet guy get out of the drivers seat of the cop car he had obviously just parked out front of the hotel.

I can’t believe the internet price though, .68c a minute. They were using getin2net as their provider. The address was get.in2.net but I guess thats just the DNS of their internal proxy server. It had an accept page that you had to go through before it would give you access and it gave unique ID to my laptop. If only I knew the MAC address of the guy next door.

So I should leave hopefully at about 12:30 today and be back my 3 or so. Then I have to drive my bluebird up to Warkworth to drop it off to a guy who’s paying me $900 for it. Need to get a rego for it first.

Pritty shit how I can only get $900 for it though. Thought I could get at least $1500 but with a cracked windscreen and a whining front bearing in the gearbox. Dammit.

Oh well, one more (half) day of company paid meals.

So today I decided to take the car that I am selling, for a little drive. Boy did it run like shit. My Bluebird had never performed like that before. It was screwed, sounded like it was running on 3 cylinders and going up hills was a mission.

Anyway was gonna pull the spark plug out and check em, and find that the spark plug hole in cylinder one was filled with water when I pulled the lead out. Like, full. So me and dad had to shove rags in with a screwdriver to soak up all the water.

After that, started her up, and she goes fine! That thrust bearing is still a bitch though…
