New years resolutions

Post by FST4RD »

So what are everyone's new years resolutions?
Mine is to get my Starion going and at least once on to the track. Anyone that has seen my Starion will know this will be a fairly decent task rofl

Yeah it is :oops: that's why I have myself till the end of the year :D
As for my weight goal, I want to get down to 120kgs. That'll be me pretty lean believe it or not! Gym 3-4 times a week and still bike to work add back everyday (30odd k's) and cut out some of the good food and I'll get there.

Like I said the other week, we are always looking for more players!

And on the second note, I have lots of Port here that needs to be drunk.......

New years resolutions

Post by starionc »

Easy
1. Finish JA rally car, ie Paint and suspension
2. Compete in at least 1 Rally and some track days!
3. Lose weight. 75KG would be nice :D
4. Same as Tomsun. Turn 3bed house into 5 with new living area etc
5. Make crap loads more $$$$$$
6. Be a better Dad and Husband! (personal sharing :roll: )
7. Buy an industrial unit to keep all my trucks, chipper etc! That way I would get my 4 car garage back :D :D
8. More to come
How many Starions can one man drive!!

Not my first New Years resolutions to say and ignore but here goes:

1 reduce alcohol intake
2 increase exercise regime
3 put Monaro back together (then maybe keep it, maybe sell)
4 get the Starion sorted for wheels/suspension and brakes at least

Thought putting it here in writing might inspire (myself) and would be a good reference point for judging progress next year.
Real change is hard for most humans.

Be less of a dick, more of a GC.
Work bloody hard at my new job and cement myself as irreplacable.
Finally finish my degree.
Don't freak out about getting married at the end of the year.

That'll do pig, that'll do :).
