    I have been transferred from W.A. over to Brizzy. Naturally I am interested in anything car related over there but know fark-all about the area. I should be there at least before mid-August. I'm looking forward to meeting some Brizvegas HAMBers so let me know you are out there.

    A rolling stone gathers no moss, and doesn't get any work done on his car either...

    I imagine I'll be able to get back to my stuff in 2013. ;)

    Right now, plans are to be as close to my job in Fortitude Valley as I can. I have had it with 45+ minute commutes and having to wake up the rooster in the morning. This time I'm taking care of me (as much as my wife will let me). ;) Places like Bowen Hills, Kelvin Grove, New Farm, maybe Paddington. We shall see what happens.

    I hope to be there for Greazefest!

    Good areas to look for a place,but maybe getting expensive!!Lots of units being built in those areas.I am in Nundah and it is really coming alive now with new development.Only about 10 mins to Fortitude Valley.

    PM me if you would like to catch up when you get here.I have plenty of time to show you around.

    Hey mate, I'm also on the southside. Local hangouts already suggested are pretty cool, just be careful which night you go to Harry's though. I think Thursday night is Ricer night.

    Two Brisbane buds are visting me right now here in Detroit. One is a HAMB guy. I'll make sure he sees this thread. The other bloke is the one that purchased "RustyOlds" from me a year ago. Both are great guys and worth getting to know.

    Cool Denise, send them back with some cookies... :)

    I've moved in to temporary accomodation for a month, so I'm sorted for a little while. It's hard finding a neighborhood with a state college for my children as they are year 6 and 7 and since we move them around a bit, we want them to stay together at school. We've checked out Kelvin Grove, Northgate and surrounding areas, and now we are looking to south of Brizzy. It ain't easy.

    I'm really looking forward to Greazefest now...
