Start Here

i don't know quite how to start, it was 4 weeks ago i flew the coop and moved to Adelaide. And i have certainly had some adventures since then.
the drive was long and slow, my newly acquired 4cyl camry struggled with the extra weight and drag due to the large enclosed trailer that i was towing all of my junk in. had many stops along the way to fill up with petrol, rest, stretch and some nourishment of the food variety.
driving down into Adelaide is always an experience, and driving down is about the best way to describe it, a few lanes that wind down and down, until you reach the old toll house and the traffic lights that greet you as Adelaide. i had my directions from mum and dad on how to get to their place, although i could have written them down better and made it easier to read. i pulled up to a set of traffic lights not a km from my parents house and read turn right so i did, oops that was for the traffic lights before. having realised at that set of lights that i needed to go left i did a u turn shortly after going through the lights. as i came down the hill i had just come up and back to the lights, heading in the right direction this time, with the lights red i braked, but didn't stop, until i hit the in front of me, a new mini cooper s. with the extra weight and my brakes too hot and gooey to help, i was left helpless and only to watch. we got out she was pissed, i was devastated, i really didn't need this, and neither did she. thankfully the collision was only minor really and just scratched the paint on her car, and with just a bent bumper on mine we were both ok. and luckily she hasn't worried to get it fixed so i didn't have to pay, just for my car anyways.
