Well.. I've got stickers on the 40 now.. Phat42.com! So if you've arrived here after seeing one PHAT BJ42 drive past.. welcome!

Not much to see at the moment but things are being updated continually.. Few photos in the gallery might be of interest.. but thats about it..

Well.. after some issues with the 40 on a weekend wheeling trip the prognosis wasn't good from the mechanic.. so a new engine was sourced for $600 and delivered for $300 more.. the compression results on the old engine indicated it didnt have long to live.. a bit dissapointing considering it was supposedly rebuilt about 70,000kms ago..

anyway.. the boys came round on the weekend before leaving for fraser and put a solid effort in on saturday to rip out and put in the new engine. The same engine made things relatively straightforward and we got it started on saturday night..

Managed to get away to Fraser Island last week with the boys.. it was a bit of a mad scramble to get ready for it but we made it there in time..

Fraser was awesome as usual... it was pretty soft on the way up and through the bypasses but we made it up to the Sandy cape.

I'll add a few photos from the trip in a bit.

AFter backing up and restoring the gallery its now up and operational, using clean urls..

W00P!

this is my dev site.. i hope to iron out some bugs here then swap over the www.phat42.com with this version.

so far I HAD embeded gallery 2 working with mod re-write.. although it seems after restoring a db backup that it broke my gallery2 settings.

Also waiting for 6gb of images to copy across to its new home..

apart from that I think it might be bed time..
