I just went to the mini mechanics and they fixed my brakes that i broke whilst i was replacing the brake shoes. 8)

On monday i had a go at slapping on some new pads but couldnt get one of the brake drums off, so i just put on one set, and the adjusted them, how i thought was right, but when i test drove it, the pedal stopped at the floor, and the car did not at all.

So it was handrake stopping through the city and out the other end to find the mechanics, and they fixed them up, and i now have the best brakes in the mini that i have had for the 2 and one half years ive had the car. And that is fairly nice. :)

yeah yeah, whatever, it didnt matter wether the eagles won or lost. I think they let em win so that more WA teams would finish in the top 3. I will wait and see who ends up closer to the top at the end of the season.

The mighty Eagles were just keeping a close interest in the season with their well panned loss.

Even still, its a bit different, but i like the Dockers a fair bit, so its good to see them doing well, which is different for an Eagles supporter.

And yes

It was handy having a foot brake :)
