Brisbane POTN Coffee Club Rev. 4

@Sam,your shot is just dull and as Dave said about the contrast. As you said yourself about the windmill there is no point of interest.

If possible, get a 6 cyl Camry, more grunt, esp. on the highway. Mind you, the new Hybrid Camry is out (but likely out of your price range too), but the fuel economy is pretty sweet (6L/100km).

The 4 would be a step up from what I have now though. a 1.5L just doesnt cut it at all. Although if I land any of the jobs I put in for recently, I'll just splash out and get a recentish Mazda SP23. Gruntier, better looking, much newer and even slightly photogenic

But will cost you a monza on insurance (you're still under 25 aren't you ?)

Its a price I am willing to pay for an awesome car haha.

In reality though, if I find a decent enough camry then I will probably keep that and drive it into the ground. Two people I work with rave about their wide body ones so even one of them would do.

I honestly just want cup holders that arent the cheap air vent ones

Haha, I like it... Long time no speak Sammy.

Seriously, look into the late 90's/early noughties Subarus. They are a safe, moderately priced, good quality car that is efficient, powerful enough and they arent too ugly on the eye. I reckon when we eventually sell our 07 Liberty, we will be buying a top of the line Forrester. They are a proper good car. The old ones were legendary... completely underrated.

Nice coffee shots lately I must say. My coffee is pissing me off lately as my grinder and doser cant seem to get any consistency. When I build my house I will be buying a Rocket Giotto and Mazzer grinder of some sort... this much is certain.

My workmate has a new Mazda MPS - somewhat more beefy than the SP23, but in the end, it's still a Mazda

We had a '97 Camry and it did the job nicely, given it was front wheel drive.

I've been looking at a few subarus lately. Just wish they didnt have so many k's on them. Im seeing some with more on clock than older commodores, falcons and camrys!

I blame Adelaide for the inconsistency

Im still experimenting with my newish machine and grinder. Its getting better now that I have stumbled across a localish supply of fresh merlo beans. The change in weather lately has thrown me out of whack again though. Reckon that if I find myself moving overseas any time soon, I will grab a lurvly Silvia and a Rocky grinder. Still more than happy with the grunty big sunbeam em6910.

Oh and speaking of coffee, my first semi decent rosetta (but with a carpy photo) and a shocking attempt at any form of latte art but with a slightly better photo...

Thats the insane one that I cant drive until I'm on my open license. All thanks to the turbo

Everyone I know with that model and the wide body are happy with them. Not fancy by any stretch of the imagination, but comfy and gets the job done.

Well I picked up the car today:
