MATT JEW BOY

Hey little man... Here's a thing for you.... I have been going through all sorts of s**t recently too. But, in the context of life, you would expect that from me. I am a genuine f**k up. All this does is allow me to emphasis greatly with your situation, having been through it ten or twenty times in less than a decade of Ford ownership.

We all have our health issues, and these limit our ability to lead a full life as we see it. Some more than others. I am really lucky at being unlucky. I practise management strategies. Not very well a lot of the time. Last week I was riding down a hill on my mountain bike, in the wet, with no front brakes (cable disk brake had snapped cable), drinking a coffee with my left hand and texting with my right hand. Of course I had my headphones blaring out some old crap punk music at the time so didn't hear the truck coming. "Oh s**t"... I didn't want to spill my coffee, so used my right hand to go for a brake. "Oh s**t", no front brake... I still didn't want to spill my coffee so refused to ditch it and use the brake with the left hand... How on earth I swerved around a truck and down a side street whilst doing around 40km/h on a bike in the wet with no brakes with only a second to dump my cellphone and grab the handlebars... Well... Christ knows. Sometimes luck is on my side.

What is not so lucky is putting myself in those situations in the first place.

They are a daily occurrence. I am truly a class a f**k.

Now, back to the MAD JEW PRICK. You're f**k good guy underneath that stupid Australian accent. All other Aussies are f**k, but you're okay.

It may be cheaper to buy me a plane fare and chain my ankle to your Maverick wheels until things you need doing are done to your standard than hire a psychiatrist.

But, here's something for you... Depression is often caused and cross diagnosed with anxiety. Chances are a lot of people on here with a lot of drive, ideas and enthusiasm for their crazy schemes and mad builds have some form of personality disorder. No s**t. I kid you not. Does BENJ's car make sense to 99% of the world? I bet you it f**k doesn't. But to select people, it is f**k awesome. People who do s**t like this are special.

And running at full speed all the time means having burnout and downtime.

TRY THIS
Instead of saying "I am going to tidy all my car parts and give Butler back some of his garage and back yard" you should say something more like "I am going to spend half an hour at 10am sorting out stuff at Butlers house...."

You see, YOU WOULD FAIL AT TIDYING ALL THE CAR PARTS FROM BUTLERS.

BUT YOU WOULD NOT FAIL AT TIDYING BUTLERS FOR HALF AN HOUR AT TEN IN THE MORNING.

Therefore you are totally successful in your goal. Sometimes you may even spend an hour or two sorting out Butlers back yard.

We all feel useless sometimes... Dude, the human body and mind are complicated things. But like the most simplistic machine in the world (let's say a single OHC I6 with a dizzy) it still needs a rest, an oil change, and enough CCA in the battery to turn the starter.

Just take it easy on yourself mate. I have had people very close to me commit suicide, stab their own children... All sorts of crap. How I am alive just amazes me. The very simple fact I am alive astounds me enough that I cannot now contemplate others feeling bad enough to do similar.

I have been incredibly lucky. I should not be here. Seriously should not be here.

Yet I am.

And if I am, then you f**k deserve to be here more than me.


(If anyone calls this a rant, I will fly over, remove their hat with my balls and piss on their bald spots)

This man speaks the truth

He must have left in year nine

No idea how the land of the white cloud school system works, but if you start in Kindergarten and finish year 12 there is 13yrs of school. 7 years of primary school for all states bar the 3 backwards states which go 8 years in primary, but still finish at yr 12.

jeeezz ... ya canna be a rare bastaard! .... BUT ya hit the nail on that head

when ya flyin ova ta piss on me 'bald' spots....... rant . . rant . . .

You sir are an absolute legend...I take my hat off to you, But don't piss on my head what ever you do because there is no bald spot.

maybe afta

Well, how's the weather? It's sunny and windy here.

it's sunny & a slight breeze here .... suposed ta get warm ...... ain't been outside yet

Then it will get hot, then freezing, then drizzle, then windy and then.......... Well you are close to Melbourne and those changes could be minutes apart

we 'mayb' close .... ish ta melbum ..... but we dont always get their shiiit weather.......



i knows so

Take a couple of leftover pieces from some rear cargo area barn doors , a 4" grinder and a MIG , mix with someone who has no idea and you start getting a window frame that matches the rear contours of the roof.

See we who know nuffin can accomplish great things!!!!

Looks great Matt.
