A New Car & How Cool Japanese People Are

My frequent trips out to Titirangi have prompted me to purchase a car that is cheaper on the gas, since our nasty stinking tricksy thieving government stole some more money from us precious, in the form of new gas tax. My 155 will remain in the garage - I will not sell it, but it will come out on special occassions.

My new car is a 2 door 1990 Nissan Sentra. I'm not sure what else to say about it. It's not an Alfa which is a huge negative, but being a 1.4L it should be nice and economical. The guy I bought it off got me a new warrant and fixed what was wrong with it, and brought the price down to $750, so I'm quite happy.

In other news....as you know my sister Louise is currently two months in to a nine month stint in Japan. She emailed me yesterday, and one thing I found rather amusing was this:-

Last night I was introducing myself in English and stuff and I showed them a photo of my family....I said, This is my older brother Scott and the whole room erupted in oooooooooh aaaaaaaaaaaahs and I was like what? and Ruth translated and said they thought you were soooo good looking..That`s like the second or third time that has
happened....

Maybe I should go and live in Japan.
