Cool cars are for
This all happened a while back and it was my first outing after the worst of my wisdom tooth surgery recovery. Matt's front guards of the tank were away on holidays for rust repairs so we scammed a lift in Bundy's car. His XM falcon came with the unexpected perk of a personal lap warmer, Sanchez the english bull terrier.
About 15 of us crammed into 3 cars and off we were off! Sanchez made sure we stayed cozy when the chilly winds came at us through the window on highway.
I had no idea where this joint was but it felt like it took a long time to get there. It wasn't really but when you're hungry a few k's feels like one hundred miles. But then we finally arrived at Ferry Road Diner! The good thing about this place is that there was plenty of parking out front for the old rides.
After scamming some of Rhea & Chuck's nachos I discovered that they were the best I'd ever had. Sweet chilli sauce on nachos, who'd have thought that would be SO good!? I ordered a hot dog but it was no where near as good as it should of been, given I had to dissect it to accomodate my sore mouth. It's just not the same. But all was forgiven with an ice-cream sundae complete with chopped nuts, a corinthian wafer and maraschino cherry! It tasted so good and my poor swollen mouth squealed with joy.
Another thing I should mention is that they stock Wimmer's soda in the most beautiful vintage style glass bottles. Their traditional creaming soda flavour about 10× better than the ubiquitous Boylan 'Creme' Soda that's imported from America. Wimmer's is a home grown Queensland company. So if you're ever faced with the choice you know which one to go for!
If you fancy a nibble yourself, here's their site:

Hopefully we'll cruise back down sometime soon for more gritz now that my mouth is ship shape again. I'll be the one zeroing in on the nachos.
