Also needed a surge protector with more outlets:

On Sunday made a trip over to Retro Rides Gathering at Shelsey Walsh Hillclimb which was an awesome show! Got my Mini on stand with RustRashFlyers (a local club) which was a bit unexpected, so the car was filthy haha.

Picked up these two models as well (Civic SiR EK and Initial D AE86 Corolla)

While I've got no pictures because my internal storage on my phone is low (looks like I'll have to get a 4TB micro SD card, @Leadfoot530 ), I recently got myself Need For Speed The Run on Xbox 360 and PS3, Race Driver: Grid Reloaded for PS3 and Nascar '14, also for PS3. The stuff you find on eBay...
 
Just had a new book delivered. "Freedom - Rhythm & Sound" signed by Gilles Peterson and Stuart Baker.

(Not my pics)

It also came with an A3 poster of the front cover art. It was released along side the current Tate Modern exhibition "Soul Of A Nation" & a double LP of the same name.

Added some images of my copy...

Got a PS1 Gameshark disc finally. I read that it worked with the PS3. Sadly, it didn't work with it, but it worked with the PS2 though. I was a little disappointed it didn't work with the PS3 since I preferred it for playing PS1 games. Of course, I guess my thick PS2 has it's advantages since it actually has the PS1's hardware instead of emulation like the PS3 does.

Ever since I was forced to sell my PS1 and it's Gameshark cartridge back in 2008, I have been meaning to get a Gameshark for the PS1 ever since, but I ultimately kept forgetting. However I have been playing PS1 games a lot more in recent years and after getting frustrated from playing Crash Bandicoot, I finally took the time to get this. Feels good to actually use cheats on a console again.

Had an absolute blast at the concert. Venue wasn't the greatest, and the sound system was giving the band some problems, but it was still one hell of a concert. (Venue's the last one listed on the shirt.)

That reminds me I have to get back to listening to them and get to know to their new stuff.

I've seen them live three times, I think. One of my favourites bands at one point (late '90s, early 2000). 👍

Who remembers this old game? Got it brand new for the PlayStation.

I've been seeing quite a few of those at local gameshops. How is it? Considering picking it up.

Speaking of that... Took an hour drive to some other small game shops and picked up Sega GT for Dreamcast and also Yakuza Kiwami. Picked up the Steelbook Edition since...it's the same price as the normal game. Why not.

Managed to snag some good stuff from Ebbets Field Flannels mid year clearance sale:

And a legit 2011 Washington Capitals Winter Classic jersey, Mike Green 52. Considering that the NHL jersey contract is switching from Reebok to Adidas, and most people are going to be offloading their Reebok jerseys, I thought it was high time to jump in and get my first hockey jersey.

About the only blemish on the jersey is a small mark on the left armpit that you can barely see, so it's pretty much unnoticeable to everyone else.
 
Well, my impulsing has not improved at like, all :lol:

Picked up some used Recaro Sportster CS seats out of a Megane 250 for the lil' Clio. Should be much better for when I'm sternly abiding by all the speed limits 👍 .

(pic of newer ones)

And do they fit just fine, being a smaller car and all?
 
Lot's of parts are interchangeable between Meganes and Clios, although the 182 could be a bridge too far. Things that might give trouble are the seat rails and the airbag wiring. I have them in the 197 R27 and they are the best thing about the car :lol:

Yep that basically seems to be what people have been saying. I have bits of the loom/connectors coming with the seats so hopefully I can get an auto sparky to help out on that front, and I have one or two separate ideas for the rails.
Should also be noted I'm not in the biggest rush to fit them as I might get one or two panels reupholstered before they go in, but I am very much looking forward to them! 👍
 
Two more HIKVision IP Dome cameras and a NAS Synology license.
Ordered 4 more of the same cameras and 4 licenses. :sly: :scared:

I love working with stuff like that. Not only the installation but also the configuration.
Having these IP cameras, I also need a phablet for life streaming when I'm not home.
