Always Economising

I christened my new Amex by purchasing one of these babies yesterday -

Charge that bad-bwoy!

It is not too ostentatious to stick a car on plastic mainly cos I’ve got enough points now that each time I buy an economy flight to the UK (or anywhere for that matter) I can automatically upgraded to First Class. Better still I’ve got enough for this to happen in perpetuity. Bargain!! Always thinking about the savings!!

STOP PRESS: The sweet smell of irony. Within an hour of writing this post I crashed my car - fortunately I don’t receive the one pictured above for some months.

  2. But ya didn’t … or did you?

    Lindsay Lohan got a nice SL55 and she’s my bitch. I couldn’t get a pissy Merc as her potential beau.

  4. I kyboshed the hubby’s beamer choice back in the late 90s. I just can’t handle the whole blinkers and wipers on the wrong sides concept. In fact I almost crashed the test car while trying to change lanes in the rain.

    Sorry about your other car, RA. Guess that’ll teach you to keep both hands on the wheel.

    P.S. God bless Amex. I’ve done some outrageous points grabs in my time too. Best ones were on the Corporate Amex - where I got to keep the points whilst someone else paid the bill. Sweet.

  5. Im: They are on the correct side. Friggin shite aussie motors…
    Got 205,000 points over the weekend. Cleaned up… They’ll give me a Centurion for sure now.

    Huniiiiiiii: Whaddya mean boring unlike what … a Commie!!! I checked out the Audis, Lexii etc and the Beamer won hands down

  6. Go Italian Russ… they have class, sex appeal and speed.

    Cars reflect the country in which they are born. Italy represent class, passion, style and speed. Germany represents…???.

    Just teasing… I am a fan of the BM’s. Personal favourite are anything to do with an “M”.

    Is it Auto or Man? Please dont say Auto… I know the english have more balls then that.

    Meet you on Bundall Road Russ!

  7. Can’t you see the pic is an M3! Pish, Shopper!!!! It’s a step…autos and manuals are soooo last century…

  8. And here i was thinking i was teh shit cos i had a company Lexus!! *cries*

  9. HELLO!! It’s a company Lexus!!! It runs better when you have the keys though

    Hit by Russell Allen May 28, 2006 @ 11:00 pm



  10. Respect geez!

    I apologise for not looking at the Russ.

    I bow down before the M3. I also apologise for the thoughts that I did not write down about BMW’s being an old man’s car.

    Nothing quite beats a manual. The geezers from Top Gear will attest to that!

    So are we dragging down Gold coast highway

  11. I don’t hate you because you’re rich, I hate you because your vehicle has two wheels too many.

  12. To be honest HB, I’d go the scooter like you if everything wasn’t so cunting far away.

  13. crashing your car is the perfect way to enjoy your money. By taking an incredibly complicated piece of machinery and rendering it into useless scrap, you’re saying ‘It’s my life, it’s now or never…cause I a’int gonna live forever.’

  14. I thought RA was more Slippery when Wet

  15. The only German-built piece of machinery I own is a rotary mower.

    I’m thinking about putting some fat-ass mags on it though.

  16. gav: Can you sit on it?

    Cibby & Dollop: I don’t do BJ…I mean Bon Jovi

    Hit by Russell Allen May 29, 2006 @ 2:35 pm



  17. You can … I guess.

    You’d get funny looks from the neighbours though.

  18. Some BJ for you too Gav:

    I’m a cowboy.

  19. commie? ? ? ? ? ?
    *almost faints with shock that RA would consider her so bogan to own such shite*
    Ah the M3, just dont do what DH did when driving it down the M4 with his woman engaged in what is not bon jovi. Those things drive nicely until you get distracted.
    And i agree with Imelda on the whole blinker fiasco. So irritating when I get in his car, then again when i get back in mine.
    And i still maintain that they are boring. But at least you didnt do the Z3

    Hit by Honey May 29, 2006 @ 3:47 pm



  20. gav: Do you live near Lou & Harold. They’d join you in some mowing action for sure.

    D-Man: Desist with the Jovi…I plead with you.

    Honey: Z3 is a hairdresser’s car. Also I only do new cars. The Z4 is better but I didn’t want a two seater. How can I accomodate those in line for a threesome, foursome etc. with a mere sportscar.

    PS…So what is not boring?

    Hit by Russell Allen May 29, 2006 @ 4:14 pm



  21. Can I also thank you all for the kind hearted words of sympathy after my accident. Oh!! None of you did. Fuck youse all then…

    Hit by Russell Allen May 29, 2006 @ 4:15 pm



  22. That’s all the Jovi I know I’m afraid.

    As for sympathy - fuckoff. You had airbags.

  23. good christ I suddenly feel like an underprivileged child who has only stale bread to eat for lunch.

  25. D-man: Funbags, not Airbags

    mez: Pimpin pays fo sho. Would you like some ribena with your bread?

    S-dogg: The panel man said 10K damage to the motor. So yes getting shafted by the panel man is on the agenda. I agree on the company Lexus thing…is she working for ‘THE MAN’?

  26. Can I also thank you all for the kind hearted words of sympathy after my accident. Oh!! None of you did. Fuck youse all then…

    Well that’s the last fucking sympathy you get off me, Mr Kraut Kar. FUCK YOU TOO!!

    Hit by Imelda May 29, 2006 @ 7:13 pm



  27. So much fucking today, and me getting none, and doing none. Somethings wrong with this picture. Anyhooooooo

    Not boring would be many things, but if your asking what I like, that list is extemely short. And if you cut it down to what I both like, and drive, it would come to only one (and puhleez dont make me admit what my daily is) and that would be the beautiful Emily (yes, she warrants a name) the lovingly worked-on-and-still-not-finished-and-probably-never-will-be E55 Charger. And yes, she IS an E55, not a made-to-look-like. HAWT HAWT HAWT. Blown 341, 655hp, black, custom everything. $1.49/L is worth it in that. ooooh, just talking about her makes me need to see to myself lol.

  29. Italics went nuts … they were just supposed to be around the français

    Hit by Rowena May 29, 2006 @ 8:51 pm



  30. Are you kidding Hon! An E55! Like a Merc E55? That’s like a tugboat on wheels. Even in the AMG. When it comes to Mercs there ‘badge up’ or ‘badge down’. And its gotta be badge down every time. Sorry!

    Im: You said sorry about the car. What about my cunting legs!! My beautiful legs!!!!

    Ro-Ro: Italics adds gravitas to the whole statement.

    Hit by Russell Allen May 29, 2006 @ 9:22 pm



  31. Sorry!! I missed the word ‘Charger’. Two things to say to that though…

    Fuck Muscle Cars…
    Fuck Chryslers… in the arse

    Hit by Russell Allen May 29, 2006 @ 9:25 pm



  32. 1. You’d fuck anything in the arse.
    2. I require photographic evidence that you have legs, let alone beautiful legs.
    3. There is no third point.

  33. That will go with your white deck-shoes.

    Hit by Tony.T May 29, 2006 @ 10:42 pm



  34. Im: 1. More or less. 2. My beautiful imaginery legs. 3. Like a blunt pencil.

    TT: Indeed, but now we’ve established I got no legs I’ll ebay them shoes if you don’t want ‘em.

  35. Russ, I can just imagine you doing laps in the BM around Tedder Av with Ice Ice baby pumping.

  37. So glad you realised your mistake. The response I had in mind to the suggestion that i would drive, nay even look at, let alone own and appreciate the Benz had too much swearing, even for THIS blog.

    T’woulda made you blush, Russ.

    And my charger’s ass is virginal and shall stay that way for the benefit of all, because thats the view theyre used to seeing…the rear.

    Hit by Honey May 30, 2006 @ 9:57 am



  38. Too much swearing cuntlips. Not cunting possible! Even on this shitscrape of a blog.

    Hit by Russell Allen May 30, 2006 @ 10:56 am



  39. yeah, like ro said, i got t-boned by a ‘my wife left me i’ve got no insurance love’ boge in smith street. fortunately i drive a little micra which probably isn’t worth the spoiler on your new machine.
    fuck cars though - only wankers really care about what gets them from A to B. i like my pushbike, personally.

    Hit by susanna May 30, 2006 @ 11:06 am



  40. I got t-boned by a Japanese tourist…only the 9 panels damaged.

    Hit by Russell Allen May 30, 2006 @ 12:17 pm



  41. better than getting Y-boned by either said offender, i guess…

  42. While we are pretending to buy cars; I went out and purchosed a new Pagini Zonda yesterday.

    It’s in go-fast beige, and I purchased it with my American Express Adamantium credit card.

    Wanna race?

  43. I can spell. Really! Give me a second chance.

  44. Sparkling Graphite is the colour…I wanted to go stealth with the Black Sapphire but it sounded too poncy. I have to wait 2 months for it too arrive then I’ll show you cunts what’s what.

    I’ve got a basic Platinum, have done since the millennium. It’s like my best mate that doesn’t chat shite.

    Hit by Russell Allen May 30, 2006 @ 4:43 pm



  45. anybody that comes up with an alternative to the M3 deserves to be properly dissed. Mine’s black with custom chrome but i totalled it some months ago (accidental flood, insurance bailed out!!), so i now officially hate you and will not comment around here for a while.

    you earn credit for good taste tho.

    PS: it will fit two mistresses in the trunk if they’re not too heavy.

  46. Thanks TS! I knew there was someone that didn’t have cataracts around here.
