After just under a month, it finally arrived! It's awesome, frankly. All I need to do now is boot in Windows so I can see what the graphics card is like on a couple of games.

2.2ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB of ram
128mb of video ram
nVidia 8600 GT
120gb hard drive

Movies! Yay!
 
I just bought a copy of Colin McRae: DiRT for the PC (as i don't have an XBOX 360 nor a PS3 at the moment :indiff:) Well this is a tribute to Colin. He is a nice guy, sad to see him go..... :(

Oh yeah, i also bought a T-Shirt a few days ago. Nothing much, but thought i could mentioned it.

Do you think they will still make games with his name in the future? He was like the Tony Hawk of driving games
 
Sounds like a damn plan to me. Obviously Jordan's dad has taught him about taking great opportunities. But then again, they've probably had their domain name for years now.

I dunno, looks like granturismo4.com leads nowhere. It's probably just to generate more traffic to the 'Planet.

New Wheel Bearings

The tie-rod ends may/may not need replacement, and the timing belt may need replacement as well. Still, for $300, I'm paying less than half of what I would have at a few other places I checked out.
 
What comes in a box like this?

The answer is a set of TRD Anti-rollbars including anti rollbar bushings

Next on the list is a poly bushings kit, a set of goodridge brakelines, some motul RBF600 brakefluid, new anti-rollbar links, two more adjustable camber bolts and if I can afford it some uprated Tein tension rods.

Booya I love wasting my money!
 
OH, oh...., nah...it's just a carbon cover. It matches everything else better.

Stevie Ray Vaughan 4 Disc Set - 3 Audio CD's, one DVD of a concert in Austin, Texas.

I've got a poster on the way, too. It'll eventually get posted.

That's a great box set! 👍

Went a bit nuts in Scotland, visited 9 distilleries in 4 days, and came back with the above! Lots of the miniatures were presents for family, along with shortbread and fudge. Lots has made it back to California with us, and I'm especially looking forward to sampling the 21 year old Glenfiddich Gran Reserva, since Iain Banks rated it as the best dram in Scotland, in his book Raw Spirit. 👍 :drool:

Visited: Edradour, Glen Moray, Strathisla, Glen Grant, Cardhu, The Macallan, Aberlour, Glenfiddich and Oban.
 
I see you are stocking up the refreshment stand for SFGTP2 - "Los Dos"! :D

Although you'd think for "Los Dos" tequila would be the more appropriate choice. ;)



I love a quality single malt scotch, nicely done sire, nicely done! 👍


Hopefully the weak US dollar didn't take too much of a bite out of your Scotch budget. :guilty:
 
A re-fret on my Ernie Ball Music Man EVH model guitar...

I also had a nut replacement, new pu switch, volume pot and tremolo blocks. The neck feels like a new neck. Amazing feel. Played it for an hour. $300 well spent. Yep, it was that cheap. They did an amazing job for the price. Thanks to the very fine folks at Ernie Ball Music Man.

Which reminds me:

The booze dries up here in Michigan as of Monday... The State is out of money and won't buy booze for the stores to sell. Its going to be hell on Earth, but I'm sure the border stores in Indiana and Ohio will love it.
