Shock Horror! River gets a job!!!!!

Hi,
Yep, the thread title says it all.
No more days of lazing around the house where I can hassle the kids, get ripped, play with myself and fix old computers and play loud 70s music. No sir, river has gone and got himself a job.
No more walking about in my grundies all day, shooting BB pellets at minah birds and sucking on a bottle of cheap red wine.
It's all suits and ties and clean underwear now for this old geyser.
I'm off to Adelaide... city of churches and all that jazz. I hope they've got good Asian food restaurants over there. I'll be over there permanently from around the middle of August. I'll do a few recces before then, hand the keys to car to one of the kids (pointless getting it resprayed now - it'll be run into the ground or bent within a few months judging by the way she drives), getting me a bachelor pad and go sniffing out for some Sth Australian skank!
Lock up you mums and ya grandmas.... 'cos uncle river is coming to town!!!

Yeah, that's me... crazy old river!
At first I'll be car-less and depending where I get to live, if it's got a lock-up garage etc, then I'll think about either buying a shitbox over there or pissing the kids off and reclaiming the antichrist so I can drive her around to all the churches.
Chilli chinese food eh? Now that sounds like the go.
Mr RA40... nice pics man. The guy looks remarkably like Sonny Bono to me. Must of been just after his break-up with Cher and decided to get into some hi-tech work. I nearly got a boner when I saw those sassy broads in the next pic, with their short skirts and all those hi-tech cables everywhere. The vinyl collection, bean-bags, car and stash have all been given out. I might need the other thing in case you can't get them in Church City. Besides, just use an old C26... it's about all they're good for
As for my new avatar... as mentioned in another post, it's my tribute to the (argubly) 2nd most handsome (some would say pretty boy) Toymod member.

if you leave the celica with the kids River - there will be pain brought apon you by the toymods club dudes
and it wont be the good type of pain we know your into , no whips , no chains .... no naked draven either!!
PLEASE find a place with a garage otherwise - let me know and ill see if i can persuade my classic car collector and current Classic adelaide rally driver type guy to safely house yur mighty machine until suitable lodgings can be found ..
Only thing is it might have to stablemate with a V8 perana capri ( genuine ) and a mint Rs2000 escort Mk2 for a bit

Hi,
Awwww, you too old geezers will be more than enough maturity for the Toymod gang. Besides, I'll still be on-line and able to post some of my witty repartees and drop the occasional pearl of wisdom.
These young folk look up to us cool old fellas for guidance, fatherly advice and tales of "when I was a lad..."
I can't beleive I missed the opportunity at Monday's meeting to give Cassie a big farewell bear hug! I could of given Kylie one also - but Jasy-babes is a big boy and he might of hurt me.

Hi,
Well, just had a fine, yet chilly, few days in the city of churches.
Very nice place. I noticed a few black-africans around which is something you don't see much of in Sydney. Lots of asians around - but they're everywhere so nothing special there.
Chicks aren't bad looking either. On par with Sydney. Better looking than the Brisbane chicks, and way better than anything Melbourne has on offer.
I loved the news headlines which went on about the hospitals ripping out the organs of dead babies and not telling the parents. Quite ghoulish, yet interesting.
No NRL news, which is a bit sad. But lots of AFL crap, which is sadder. I don't know much about AFL but if that Kickett guy got 6 weeks for knocking over another player then I think the AFL needs to have a hard look at itself. It's not supposed to be a girls game, so let Kickett play and let the fellas have some biff and knocks.
I love your buses. They're so cute and I just wanna ride on one.
I was hassled by a guy sprouting the words of the Gospel in Rundle St Mall, which impressed me no end. Usually in Sydney these wankers yell out to no one in particular, but in Adelaide (probably 'cos there's a lot less people) you get singled out and given a personal sermon. Nice touch.
The Mekong Thai restaurant is very good and I loved the food. I'll have to go back there for some more.
I got myself a small pad in Toorak Gardens, living next to a pair of sweet asian lesbians.
Not too many modern cars aroubnd the place. Most seem to be a few years old. Sadly I saw a lot of WRX cars - a most unattractive vehicle. But, I saw a few old Toyotas - mainly Corollas and Camrys. Saw a few real old Honda Civics and that was good to see. Did not see any old Celicas... I'm talking proper RWD models, and certainly no RA28s. I may just have to rip the car away from the kids, be a masif indian giver, and get the old girl down to Adelaide to show them what a true classic looks like.
The place dies after 8pm in the evening. I never got a chance to ride your trains, but I'll have plenty of time to do that.
I noticed there's a fair bit of rivalry between Melbourne and Adelaide. I think this is a good thing. Certainly much more even then something like Melbourne trying to lock horns with Sydney.
So, next Thursday I'll be in Adelaide for good. I'm gonna invite my asian neighbours in for a meal and sus them out a bit more closely.
Also, means I can get to the next Toymods meeting on Monday evening. Maybe even wrestle the daughters for the RA25 so I can take it one last time.

Damn, I wish I had known you were over there already, would've been good to see a familiar face on my visit (& seeing all the locals turned up for a night cruise on Monday night )
And I wouldn't have taken the RA25 there, especially after a truck on South Rd on Tuesday morning tried to make my Caldina a lot narrower by changing straight into the left lane after turning right from a side street. ie right where I was.
Luckily, I've got good brakes & reactions & managed to only get my right mirror swung in.

Anyway, it's been fun so seeyuzz, seeyuzz and see-fucking-yuzz whenever I seeyuzz!
