New T just arrived today. Be With Records.

 

[Nico_Ble99]

Sigma 105mm F2.8 Macro lens. Looked for months just to find a used one for a good price, and this one has been treated particularly well. Almost looks like it's brand new.

 

[phillgt2002]

Very nice 👍 - looking at the wheels i'm guessing it's an early 2.5ltr?

It’s a 1983.

Ordered one of these TP Link AC1900 routers. Hope it works fine. The old trusty Linksys WRT54GL can't keep up anymore. It was way down on wifi speed, which I was okay with for now. But it's also limited the wired connection to 50mbps. Connected straight to the modem, the speed was 120mbps. My download speeds should be at least doubling.

Linksys kept on improving the venerable WRT54 and is still available and they even made it easy to throw something like DDWRT onto it.
Don't know anything about TC. I have a Asus and a couple of Cisco router/switches. I wonder how good the gui is for this.

I've been running this thing for such a long time and it's been relatively trouble free with Tomato firmware. The next product has a high standard to live up to. I will definitely have to keep this as a back up.

I had a 54G running Tomato for quite a while, too, but with 5 of us in the house all with multiple devices online at the same time, it just couldn't keep up. When the need to reboot went from monthly to weekly then daily, it was time to go. The Netgear R6700 has done very well so far, but it couldn't reach out to the patio from the basement through the steel siding so a TP-Link extender was purchased. It's also doing well.

 

[coryclifford]

I will shoot old stuff for free if you send it my way.

New shotguns.

 

[Crash]

Window switches suck, AC doesn’t work well

Sounds about right of an 80s Porsche.

Congrats! This going into your car thread?

 

[kikie]

Got some more goodies delivered today.

How is the unboxing youtube clip coming along?

How is the unboxing youtube clip coming along?

So many interruptions with work, no way I could dedicate an unboxing/assembly video. Took three days just to build the cockpit. I finally pulled out the Podium DD wheel. WOW, have to say, I am totally impressed with the build quality and that's just taking it out of the box.

Thanks! Yeah, I'll be updating my old car thread with a write away from my disastrous crash in my E34. I'm just waiting to get the 944 registered before I can take it on a backroad and get some proper photos.

 

[Brett]

I just picked up the Tropico Humble Bundle.

 

[MatskiMonk]

I bought something that a Facebook advert promoted at me... after 14 years a Facebook advert was useful!!!

Anyway... Bought a print of this to fill up some wall space around my TV.

 

[Venom800tt]

More stuff, mostly RC and plastic model building related but also some stuff for my MX-5 and other random things:

Reefs RC servo winch, Tamiya flat black paint, and some AA batteries for RC transmitters and other random things around the apartment:



More model building stuff, including an airbrush and rubber mold kit, some label maker cassettes, more LED lights from Flyin' Miata and a wider accelerator pedal face for better heel-toe downshifting:



An airbrush compressor:



And more model building supplies:



An Exoto 1/18 Vette Grand Sport:



And a trio of 1/64's:

When are you building mine?

 

[Moglet]

I bought a new television (ignore the dodgy cables, I'm tidying those properly soon)

 

[Sprite]

Another day and another t-shirt. This came with some records I picked up from Switzerland.

 

[phillgt2002]

Lots of parts for the 944

Polyurethane Shifter Bushings (not me)

Custom made shifter from Only944s

Handbrake Cable

Headlight Wiper Motor (should work???) I'm gonna diagnose the problem and see what makes this one work. I will likely send it back.

A few more things in the pipeline.

Oh... I have to rebuild the wiper fluid reservoir with the cap, new tubing and a new, non-****ed up motor. I could get out of the car and move the wipers faster.

I have a $2,500 ceiling/budget with this car. That's the max I will put into it. I think I'll hit that budget fast because the weather stripping costs $70 or more lmao

 

[RCKakashi14]

Bought today. Currently doesn't have a Marvel Legends variant.

 

[GTPVenomZombie]

Not 2 this week but 5!

 

[Populuxe]

I got this last night:

Wreckfest Season 2 DLC. It's $12.99. Seriously, if you're not playing this game, you need to start. I love it.

You have an issue.

 

[mustafur]

Getting soo hard to get the rare PS2 Demos now.

 

[Spacegoat]

Impulse purchase. The box isn't in great shape. It's clearly been sitting around the shop where I got it from for a long while. That's not the problem though. The problem is, I think I might need to get the other characters to complete the set now.

 

[GTPVenomZombie]

You have an issue.

And there’s plenty more where that came from! (When they arrive)

 

[Rallywagon]

Fish!

4 Boesemani rainbow fish and 2 julidochromis transcriptus. Next round will be 4 more rainbows of some sort and a pair of Neolamprologus caudopunctatus. I'll get some better pics later for the pet thread. Once they have had a chance to acclimate and get comfortable in their new aquarium. Once their colors really start to come through.

 

[W3H5]

You have an issue.

You could say somebody is “pulling the strings”.

I can’t criticise. I’m as a big a Metallica fan as anyone. I just choose to get my fix digitally rather than physically.

Unless it’s Lulu or St. Anger. Then I’ve suddenly fallen deaf.

 

[W3H5]

I don’t always buy things, but when I do they’re bike parts.

Went from 13/37 to 14/30 and the difference in gear range is night and day. I may even be able to eek 80mph out of my 8 horses now.

 

[GTPVenomZombie]

Don’t act like y’all didn’t see this coming. Oh here he goes again GTPVenomZombie with his bloody Metallica gigs again.

Haha I’m only messing, anyways here is what I bought on Wednesday that just arrived today. Webster Hall is amazing, haven’t heard the rest yet.

• Live in St. Petersburg - August 25th, 2015
• Live in Moscow - August 27th, 2015
• Live at Webster Hall - September 27th, 2016
• Live in Hamburg, Germany - March 29th, 2018

As an added bonus, I’ve took a picture of the set lists too. (Hamburg is a bit hard to read from the image)
