Well here it is, my venture into blogging. Have to say its not a very auspicious day to start it all - being the 13th, and the day the Hilux had a hissy fit on the motorway at 5.45am this morning with steam pouring out the bonnet. Never had to stop on the side of the motorway before and can't say I can recommend it.
Anyway the Hilux is apparently now driveable (although mechanic did say "good luck"!!!) but needs more tests. Great. Because I haven't spent quite enough on that blinkin thing already. Seriously considered getting rid of it and buying a 1.3litre Corolla, but really, they don't tow horse floats too well and not sure how it'd cope with hauling hay around on a trailer. So the Hilux stays. For now.
This blog isn't meant to be about my car at all though - it's meant to be about our life on the 80 acre farm we live on in west Auckland, with horses, cows, goats, chooks a couple of cats and the odd possum. Things are a bit sodden there right now but I'm sure the grass is trying to grow through the mud and no doubt we'll soon be complaining about the lack of water and heat.
