Drove Over Nails

My favourite thing in the world is that drive home from work on a Friday afternoon. My workplace has this rule that we’re not allowed to work past 4 pm on a Friday as a reward for all our hard work during the week, which is just awesome. It means that we not only get …

Christmas Countdown

Lauren was supposed to be here over an hour ago. Where is she? My mother is starting to pout about her hors d’oeuvres going cold (I’m pretty sure they were cold to begin with, but never mind), and that can only mean one thing: Lauren is getting another strike against her name. That’s just what …

High End Car Service

Back in the day they used to say they needed ‘a horse fit for a king’, which today can be translated into ‘a car fit for a legend’. In this scenario, and every scenario for that matter, I’m the legend. I’m a likeable guy and my parents have money, which means I most definitely have …

Roadside Tyre Fitting

Today is my daughter’s first day of primary school! She was so excited this morning that we arrived forty minutes early and once the principal opened the gate she ran with her little backpack on to be at the front of the line. The mental image of my daughter’s happiness and excitement will be forever …

4WD Wheel Repair

I’m pretty into off-road, 4WD type driving. My dad was really into it, and he passed his love for it down to me, his daughter. I love the crazy rush I feel when my car falls a metre down a sand dune, and the only way for me to discover what’s on the other side …

Car Suspension Service

So I’ve had my grandad’s car for eight months now and it’s been really smooth sailing. I’ve only needed to get it serviced once to keep up with the log book service guidelines, which is seriously awesome. In any other circumstance, for the amount I paid for the car, I would’ve had to have purchased …

Car Service Anxiety

I have this thing where, if I haven’t driven my car in a while, I am extremely scared to get behind the wheel again. If I drive my car every day I don’t experience the fear, but as soon as I go a day without driving, I experience an almost crippling fear about driving again. …

Car Brake Obstruction

Everyday, without fail, I drive my dog to the park and we walk for an hour. Our walks are a combination of playing with the ball, playing with other dogs and walking aimlessly just for the fun of it. We do this every morning before I go to work and it’s a great way for …

Scary Car Breakdown

My life has always been like a movie. From the invisible girl in high school who somehow managed to get the attention of the most popular guy in school, to the girl stranded on the side of the road in the middle of the night because her car broke down. My life truly is a …

Essential Car Repairs

As a single father of four, I don’t get to leave the house very often. I work from home so that I can look after the children, I do all my shopping online and I don’t have time for any hobbies. The only time I ever really leave the house is if I have a …
