The best pegs ever, Shadow Conspiracy Little Ones

The back of the shoe feels a little odd, but that's only because they aren't broken in. Nice and flexible in the toe, and quite narrow. I'm not sure how long they'll last... They've got hardly any tread on them, but it seems to be quite hard rubber.

Kicks the poop out of my Piloti Prototipo's then. They're surprisingly stiff, but they have this really cool and useful sphere-heel. I guess that would be a godsend if I actually needed to hit the clutch when I karted :grumpy: They're suede too, so they're not wearable in the rain.

Anyways, latest purchase was a Rockstar Guava, and Kanye West's Stonger video off iTunes.

Now I just need the Rockstar coffee's and I'll have a full collection, lolz.

2008 Mini Cooper S

Congratulations! My friend's getting her dad's 1st gen Cooper S supposedly...I can't see her driving anything larger than a Chevy Aveo.
 
Today I bought my Fiat some presents:
A set of Yellowstuff - 4000 "R" Series - Full Race Pads

and some EBC Turbo Groove Discs

Plus some Abarth 131TC Calipers.

Hopefully this should help the trials and autoxing. I just have to finish the rest of the car now :)
 
Yellow stuff pads are great, my buddy got them for his Firebird and they made a huge difference. Actually come to think of it he got brake rotors very similar to the ones you got as well. Nice purchase!
 
For the office, so I can stop drinking entirely too much Mt. Dew:

Denon POA-4400A 160W monaural amplifier for our Avance sub to replace an aging Mitsubishi !... Tons more punch though this is "only" 160W compared to the 2x100W in the Mitsu... Weighs just shy of 12 kgs - The cats aren't happy though. I'd modded the Mitsu to run with slightly higher Bias meaning it got a good decent temperature on top - This doesn't even get lukewarm :-)

On top is 8 meters of Supra SubLink Iceblue Subwoofer signal cable - also new. Will be tucked nicely away this weekend !...

Laser checkered rosewood grips from grips4guns.com for the S&W 442. THey replaced a set of Crimson Trace lasergrips that were on it. I also took the lasergrips off the M&P45 as well:

Uhh, no... I don't play with toy guns. They're all very much real firearms. .38 for the S&W 442, .45 for the M&P45, and 5.56 for the AR.

Good thing you live in Mt. Pleasant I 'spose :D

What was wrong with the Crimson Trace? (I don't care for them either. I want to know why you didn't like them.)

Nice folding stock on the AR.
 
Nothing was wrong with them really. I just couldn't get 100% comfortable with the grip size on the M&P, and with the j-frame I just wanted a classic wood grip. The 442's Crimson Trace grips were sold, but I still have the M&P's. I had them stippled by Dan Burwell(M&P Gunsmith - burwellgunsmithing.com), and refuse to sell them. I still enjoy target shooting with them on occasion, but don't feel comfortable carrying the gun with them. The M&P's come with 3 grip sizes - small, medium, and large. The CTC grips for the M&P are about the same size as the large grip, but I like the small grip.

The stock on the AR is a Magpul UBR. They still have yet to release them full run, but I was lucky to get one of their limited pre-production models. Expensive for a stock at around $250, but worth it to me, and many others.
 
Sorry, but why does a 22year old need automatic weapons?

I hope you don't hold any grudges against a school/uni...
