Well, are you saying we have to go somewhere that has absolutely zero chance of being: 1.) enticing to our other halves; and 2.) potentially damaging to our wallets?

So i screwed up this whole load and bleached everything in it. I acted really sorry and went shopping for new clothing with her the next weekend. Well, after we were done and got home she said time to do the laundary. I was like yes off the hook....well not so fast, she told me she will teach me how to do it properly until i get it right!
I think she knew i screwed up that load on purpose....

vw... love the story.
Anyway, just came back from the Sunshine Coast. It was awsome.. and the roads are WAY to much fun! Took some nice pics and found some nice places for BBQ`s. Im just loading the pics so I`ll post them soon.
I know I missed the last meet but those roads are killer. Up, down, left, right...I did all the driving, and she was allowed to control the play list. lol
