Hey

Im slowly meeting some local tiki folks and spreading the tiki obsession with others down here in Australia. Marcus is a top bloke but the bastard lives 8 hour drive away so I cant just drop in for a carving session and some rum :( Need some more local tiki peeps!

One of the guys Ive done some pinstriping sessions with is keen to get more into the tiki stuff. Ive even helped convince him to do his single cab split screen kombi with a tiki theme! hahahaha....

And today I was at a local car show and I spot this sweet local kustom Buick Riviera. Now Ive seen this thing slowly develop into a kool kustom, each time it having less badges or its lower or kool paint etc etc. Id seen the driver a couple of times and hes got some sweet traditional lowbrow tatts, with some kool tikis on there. So I guessed he dug tikis. Today the Rivs got satin mint green paint with unfinished silver flake roof and "TIKI" plates. I said to myself I gotta go a have a chat to this guy. And yeh, hes into tiki and hopefully hes gonna check out TC tonight (Hey Damian, if you're on here! I wanna see some pics of that Riv man!). He's got some kool plans for his tiki theme on his Riv, so I cant wait to see em.

And hopefully the g/f and I will have a place soon so Im looking forward to getting a tiki lounge set up and being a bad influence on more people! :)

My g/f is currently doing a beauty therapy course, and the eventual idea is for her to work from home. The way I see it, she'll have her business and ill have the home tiki lounge set up to entertain the boyfriends/husbands and have few drink :) hahahaha
