Some of you ladies might know that I went down to Sydney at the weekend and got back yesterday arvo. Due to a mess up by my friend, I was landing in Sydney with nowhere to go. At the eleventh hour Ben put his hand up and said he could put me up. Like the top bloke he is, he even came out to the airport to pick me up - I'd just like to thank you again mate, and Tina, and Max, in fact, especially Max, thanks to him I now know the true story about the fire and how Bob the Builder had something to do with it.
Anyway, waking up at Mr and Mrs Extreme's place meant I had chance to go down to the shop with Ben. So I took a few shots.
The factory as you walk in the door smells shite. The smoke did some serious damage. From the entrance it doesn't look too bad (mind you, it doesn't look too good either):

but when you go upstairs you see the real damage. It didn't mess about. (unlike me with this picture, sorry Ben, I took you by surprise with this shot and it looked like you had escaped from somewhere so I thought I'd protect the innocent...)

Downstairs wasn't too bad and luckily this beauty was saved:

Maybe I should actually say "Luckily for me this beauty was saved":

and the reason I look like a chimp is because I was waffling, and now this bit might upset a few of you, but the reason I was waffling is because if I didn't I would be smiling - a bit like this:

........and the reason I was smiling so much? - 5 Minutes before this photo I was spinning the back wheel in a turbo boosted power slide down the driveway, in first and second gear before I ran out of said driveway, and then I did it again, and again. I'm actually still smiling now. This thing doesn't just look the business, it's seriously fuckin' awesome! I even managed to piss off some "Groundskeeper Willy" dude who came over looking like an angry school teacher with the shakes and a red face asking me if I had been breaking the 5 mph speed limit in the estate? Cock head, if the wheel hadn't been spinning I'd have been breaking the fuckin' sound barrier let alone the 5 mph speed limit. Didn't the black rubber snake marks give it away? As soon as he saw Ben come out of the shop he fucked off (maybe cause Ben was still wearing the false nose?)
I now know why this man smiles so much:

You're a bloody champ Ben. Cheers mate.
