My NEW Nissan Navara

It's FINALLY happened - I got myself that new car I've been talking about. Well 2nd hand new!!

2002 Nissan Navara 3.0L Turbo Diesel

It had about 90,000kms on the clock, and the rest is in near mint condition. A few scratches on the paint work, most of which were cut out when they got it detailed. And the interior is so close to brand new, it might as well be a new car!!

Apologies for the poor pics - will certainly get some better ones up here as soon as.

Parked outside my bro's house on the test drive


The interior - look at the pretty white tacho meters


Parked in my parents driveway next to dad's boat - the Barbie D


And lastly, the obligatory poser photo!

Kellys B'day bash

Michelle's best friend Kelly had a fancy dress party with the theme of Superheroes and Fairytales. It was held upstairs at the Republic Bar in North Hobart - what a great night!! Here's a few pics (well those that were decent enough to post).

Michelle and I getting ready to go - I mean Clarke Kent/Superman and Alice in Wonderland.


The Mad Hatter (Ben, Kellys boyfriend) and Alice in Wonderland


Alice's drunk Little White Rabbit



Wonder Woman, Saddam and Little Red Riding Hood. I'm not exactly sure if Saddam is meant to be a hero or a fairy....


Tinkerbell(Kelly), The Queen of Hearts(Jane) and Superman

Cricket - AUS vs NZ in Hobart

Game 2 of the One Day International series at Bellerieve. Australia took on New Zealand, and winning the toss Ricky Ponting chose to bat. A perfect choice as Gilchrist and Symonds tore the New Zealanders apart with big hitting all around the ground. NZ got their own back at the end of the innings when Shane Bond scored a hat trick that restricted the Aussies to 289 - taking White, Symonds and Bracken out in consecutive deliveries.

The Kiwis came out with victory in mind and after losing their openers quite cheaply they set about reaching that target of 290. Thanks to some great bowling by local debutant Ben Hilfenhaus, Symo's catch and Pup's runout we were able to cut of their amazing run chase. The score never really showed how close they were for most of the match when at the end of the day they only reached 184.
