PinkPrincess wants a pj onsie. Before buying online thought to check the local Lifeline.
Well, they didn’t have any pj onsie’s but I spotted these matching pants/jacket in her size; tagged at $35 couldn’t not buy them, at the register found out they were having a 50% sale.

Also scored a pair of black cord pants for myself $3 and some (fitted) brown leather gloves for PP $2.

Missed out on some sweet Roxy ski boots because they were a half size too small.

Just be glad you don’t own a 4x4, I would of had 1.8 tyres for what you paid for four.

4 cars, all rego within 2 months, all had service due (one 200K service).
Convinced mum not to buy winter tires (can’t believe she had been).

Azz, don’t most 4X4 tires last much longer than standard car road tires. The troopy tires last around 4 years (most k’s on-road) - they are off road tires.
They might cost more but end up being better economically I thought?

Not sure to be honest spaz.

I was getting 60K from Goodyear Wranglers on my 60series and Hilux, IF I hadn’t destroyed them up the bush beforehand.

The factory issue on the i30 only did 40K before they were shot.

IMO wranglers are of of the worst tyres on the market, had them on my navara and as soon as it was wet, grip on the road went out the window, my mate had them on his 4runner and found exactly the same. i had cooper STTs on my patrol and they were 10 fold better in every situation.

speaking of 4x4 tyres, im glad im not buying 35” muddies anymore, you cant truely complain about cost of tyres until you buy big muddies or extremely high performance road tyres LOL

I just bought some pre snow trips. $880 all up. It’s worth spending coin on tyres though.

 

Double post.

My Stock tyres on my ASX managed 55k before I replaced them. Probably about 5k too many though.
