Cougar's Garage - Doing the American thing.

No worries dude, I'm heading out there for lunch anyway.

i use to work at a gas station in Carson, theres a few places for rent. IDK about buying tho. you guys are so far away lol

No worries dude, if you're in Carson come say hi I'm free for a few days at home.

Will do mate.

Mid-week update.

Working the garage as normal this week, Ryan is a cracking mechanic! Really knows his way around a car! I like to think that I'm learning from him. We have been doing some more rally upgrades recently, apparently there are rally events in Colorado, seems about right seeing as there is a nice selection of off-road courses. Might have to loom into it soon.

Will be looking into a daily driver of my own soon, might be late next month or early March before I get one. My budget is covering the Escalade well so it's no rush. I've also been really cracking on with the conversion, completely stripped the garage out and finally fixed my leaky roof. I asked a builder's shop when I was in Carson earlier in the week. He said by the sounds of it, it sounded like an easy fix. He gave me some more slates and some underseal stuff. I got it all on, had to use a hosepipe and ask Nicole to cover the roof in water, it seemed to hold up fine. It hasn't rained since I've been here but I don't want to have a roof full of holes just in case it does.

Bought myself a new laptop too yesterday, got it all set up and installed Skype so I can talk to my family more. Was talking tonight, I introduced them to Nicole. Was a bit weird doing it over the screen. Will be going home for a week or two this summer, not missing the place but missing the people. Got some good news that my brother has done a massive deal for a car show. They wanted their cars going to Tokyo Auto Salon. So he has taken a few weeks off and is coming down in February. I'm super excited to see him! Going to be mega fun times ahead.
So Ryan, Jordan, Kru and everyone else. A massive party will be happening if you guys are up for it? Will be pretty messy.

EDIT: Addie, I hope you're here for this party. Going to be so much fun!

Party? Im already there bro-ham!!!! Somebodys gonna have to round up all the keys cuz its gonna get wild!!!!

Good good! Will start at my house and we'll make our way into town. You can all crash at mine, can't have any drunk driving haha. Will keep the keys safe.

fuk yeah, as long as theres tyre slaying involved

There definately will be!

sweet! when will the paty be? hopefully this guy buys my parts so i can pay insurance for another month and get a disc drive

End of February most likely.

ok cool, plenty of time, cant wait!!

Nice!

I'm down dude think I can get you a 53' reefer full of beer and food if you need it? got some old contacts who'd love to help out

Get it done mate!

haha lorry trailer full of beer and food, party on Garth

YES!

im still friends with my ex boss at the gas station, i might be able to get tires from the dumpster behind teh garage if you guys need it, thats where i got all my burnoffs for my hachi

Yeah dude, tyres will be needed. I'll load the machine onto the van, I might have a nice mustang by then.

Yes. Winning.

Got a nice stash of cash set away now, going to let it gain interest for about another month and buy a car. Payday today, the job might be dirty but it sure does pay well!

Did some more work on the conversion, got the drywall up and heat insulated the roof and put some wooded board up there, so the garage itself is square. Next job is to get it plastered and painted, then to buy some equipment!

Just got word from my brother that it is now snowing in my home town, if I'm honest I want to be there for the snow. It's always a fun family time, me and Nicole went out for a meal after work to cheer me up, the garage should be done within the weekend, that means I can bring the Z home. Can't wait to have it in my garage, will be nice to be able to drive it whenever I want.

if you need help LMK, me and Faith are gonna start putting a lift in my garage soon. first i gotta get my trans am running again

I need it plastering now, then painting. If you could help with that I'd buy you and Faith dinner?

sure thing dude, when do you want to get started?

Tomorrow after work good? You can pick up Faith or she can make her own way, up to you.
