In one of our last Flashback posts for the month, we check out the time when I was amused by what I found in a Spotlight store...
In casa de Almigo, we have two places
we go when the creative/handy person mood suddenly strikes. For me it's the
nearest hardware store (like Bunnings) where I can quite happily drift
aimlessly amongst the shelves, thinking that it can't be all that difficult to
build your own pergola with the right tools, some wood and half a slab of
Barecove Raddler (they've changed thier name! This bares investigating!)

| Easy with some beer! |
For the finance (yeah, thankfully she
did say yes when I put a ring on it) that store is Spotlight, where everything
can be built with a sewing needle, a staple gun and rolls of fabric, provided
someone shows you how to first.
Today was no different as we roamed
the store of 99% women in search of shiny things that would make her handmade
engagement party invitations take a big hot flying dump on any you could buy
pre made. And while she was weighing up the pros and cons of various glues, I
came across something a self admitted rev head like me couldn't help but utter
a giggle over...
Oh what a feeling, Toyota sewing
parts:
I knew a few car brands had ventured
into other products outside of the automotive world - case in point being
Lamborghini making quite impressive looking tractors:

| Sleek |
Ferrai have built themselves a theme
park...
 |
| Awesome! |
And Mitsubishi keep cool outside of
making cars (and starter motors - my Ford Laser had a Misubishi starter from
factory) by bolting together air conditioners...
However this is the first time I've
ever seen a car brand attached to sewing products. And as hard as I tried, I
couldn't find a BMW marked over locker, a Dodge curtain maker or even a Hyundai
pin cushion anywhere in store..
I wonder if Toyota sewing products
are faster than the other brands? Or if they're safer due to the airbags? And
if my wife to be does buy a Toyota sewing machine and it breaks down...do we
call in Roadside assist?..
