Ahhh, so you know this hot and sticky town!.You will understand why we value our Aircon!!
There is NO way you would recognise this place since the 1990's.It has changed enormously since 2000. Mainly due to the resources boom,Queensland is (allegedly ) rolling in the cash. It hasn't rained much since 2001 so the humidity and big storms we had every spring have become a thing of the past.
So washing cars has become illegal ...if you get caught it's big fines.
You mention the Coronation Hotel..did you mean the Regatta on Coronation Drive? .You can't stay there now,it's become a trendy watering hole for the rich young things who live the Toowong area.Coronation drive has become a traffic choked nightmare .
Your parents live an idilic life style.The house appears to be 1800-1900's vintage. I restored one similar in the late 1980's in Glen Innes,northern NSW.
Cheers! i'll check this Euro 500 in the workshop and post up just exactly where your vacuum leads need to be.All these cars a different!.
