Default Vote on what I should do next........

I've got two weeks holiday and no Vette:sad: .......no chance on getting the block back from the balancers in time for X-mas (my ***** up)...and I don't have access to the Vette.....so what does one do when they're Vette-less??????

This is what my Vette looks like today:


Have a fun and safe Holidays people :cheers:

You're 100% right about that, but as I said: "......don't have access to the Vette..."

But thanks for giving me the idea.......I can plan around work to get it done in the New Year before the engine goes back in :cheers: :thumbs:

CLEAN and detail the engine compartment, Now is the time. You can not put a nicely detailed motor in a dirty engine bay.
Spend the holiday cleaning, scraping and painting.
Have a merry christmas

Why don't you have access to the 'vette? Is it at a mechanics shop? If he's open for business then go there and do your detailing. If not, then I guess you're SOL!
If that's the case then spend a lot of time online browsing the forum and planning for the return of your 'vette! :D

Dep,
Just about everything over here can kill you so we kill it first.
Even a big Grey Roo can rip open your guts with its hind legs and claws.
You just don't want to see what a mob of Koalas can do- worse than piranah!

Roo Steak is nice, usually a bit tough though, The Croc tastes like chicken- just like everything else!
I had gator once (down in N'awlins) but it had too much spice to taste the meat.
Roo is served in nicer restaurants with all the frilly bits. you never get it from a burger joint.
As an appetiser you can have the witchety grubs!
