			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Was up at nicks the other night, and we decide to set fire to an old oil filter filled with oil.  This soon turned into spraying the various aerosol cans around nicks shed into the fire.  He had a whole box of degreaser.  You can make snake trails of fire with that stuff!</p>
<p>Then feral grabs a tshirt/rag rolls/ties it up into a ball, sprays degreaser all over it, and kicks it through the fire at me.  Kickin a flaming ball around in the dark was pretty fun. Until feral kicked it at me really hard, and it i had hunks of flaming cotton hurling at my face.</p>
<p>I thought my hair was gonna catch on fire lol.</p>
<p>Hehe&#8230; fun times&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mean!  Got my tires today so my mags put on my van, ready for you internet stalkers to steal.  Well, you can try, I got 2 lock nuts on each wheel.  May as well take the whole van.  But don&#8217;t!  I worked my ass off for that thing and everything on it&#8230; fuckers.. ahh anyway, pics:</p>

<p>Ahh, I love my van.</p>
<p>Drives so smooth now that the diff is on properly and I haven&#8217;t got 8 different types of wheels on it.  Doesn&#8217;t take off in a different direction everytime you hit a bump now.</p>
<p>Total cost for the tires came to $825 (!!!).  Had to buy 5mm spacers for the fronts cos they rubbed on the suspension, so almost didn&#8217;t fit.  The backs have about 10mm clearance around the brake drum so that was close, but they fit good.  Just can&#8217;t turn full lock cos the tyres will rub on the suspension arm, but the 18&#8217;s did as well.</p>
<p>So that comes to a total of $1620 all up!  Shit.  Oh well, better than spending $1000 on tires alone, so provided I sell my old mags for $800 I should save almost $200 on tires.</p>
<p>I hope my van is still there when I finish work.  Might go for a walk soon.</p>
<p>Speaking of my insecurities about my van, on Wednesday, me and Nick and Feral pulled into the Caltex to get some diesel.  Nick was driving, I get out to put gas in and Nick walks round, then this Maori guy who was pumping up his tires yells out &#8220;You like your van?!&#8221; to Nick.  Nick&#8217;s like &#8220;Yeh!?  Why?!&#8221;, to which he responds &#8220;I&#8217;ll give you a hiding for it!&#8221;, and Nick&#8217;s like &#8220;Why&#8217;s that!?&#8221; and he just continued pumping up his tires and didn&#8217;t say anything else.</p>
<p>We were like WTF?  I looked on my van and there weren&#8217;t any swastika&#8217;s or anything (like there normally are from people drawing in the dust).  So don&#8217;t know what that was about, the dude drove off.  Then tonight I&#8217;m driving to work and I see the same guy driving towards me going the other way and he points at me!  Got me a little bit worried to be honest&#8230;</p>
