I've been looking high and low for the Lego car, I really want that to be my next project.

 

[Shaun]

That's right, guys...that's how we roll in France.

Surely not?
I can't remember the last time I ate anything that came in a box.

Cheers Shaun.

The people over here eat the box. Delicious, I tell you.

The thing is everyone I know who's been to Paris tells me if you find the right places (not necessary expensive) the food is amazing.

Cheers Shaun.

This x8, but not this exact model. Need the RC motors and diodes for another product and at £2 a pop, why not rip them apart for the hardware?

I second that.

Nice guitar Scaff 👍


Today is payday so I have been buying more new stuff for my mountain bike this time in the shape of a front & rear set of Avid Elixir R 185mm disc brakes all for "only" £130. I was about to pay £150 for these but the lovely people from Merlin have just emailed me with a 15% off code (AVID15), result

Ok the forks were one thing. But are you just out to make me jealous?
Because you have succeeded if you are.

 

[Neal]

It's an added bonus but I'm not flush enough to drop that much on making peps jelly, in fact if my family ignore my requests for birthday cash I might be riding to work!

Bah! It's not even left-handed...

 

[DKX]

Add at least $19,000 more to that and you have a deal. 👍

Damn! Gotta wait till I turn 25 and get my $50,000 now

Oh well! I'll buy something cooler

Anyways:

Last purchase was a teen burger at A&W to support the MS society

Mine only had cheese, bacon, patty, buns. soooo good. 👍

It is - but well, "inexpensive" is something you can hardly find over here. Just drive a bit out of the city, I'm living like ~45 minutes from the Eiffel Tower (by train) and the people are completely different. The prices are as well.

@Scaff : Sweet guitar. Looked pretty similar to the Epiphone LP-100 I was lookin' at before I picked up something else. What model/make is that?

Anyways, this was the guitar I picked up instead and I still and always will love it. This is the ESP EC256 LTD in Aged Vintage Black. :drools: I'm tryin' to stray away from the high-glossy polished body looks. I owned a couple of Strat's before and wanted to try out somethin new.

Playing is enough of a challenge without it being backwards

Its a Vintage V100, pretty much a copy of a late 50's Les Paul. Differs from the LP-100 (and I believe the EC256) in that its a set-neck rather than a bolt on and is also considerably deeper in the body and a lot heavier (all of which gives bucket loads of sustain).

I've already got the aged look covered with my Strat and I have to admit that white with gold hardware and gold binding is about the last look I would have expected myself to go for. However I just fell in love with the sound and feel when I played it and is a nice contrast to my ebony Epi Dot.

Will put pictures of it up in the guitar thread once I've had a chance to put it down and take some.

Is that necessary for your bike? I have a standard set of 'V' brakes and the do the job, even on high speed descents. What kind of trails/roads are you riding to warrant those bad boys?

It is a purchase for a bike. Of course it is necessary. Anything that you buy for your bike is always 100% required immediately.

Like the run-on-flat gel that was supposed to stop me getting a flat on the way to work 6 months ago that worked as well as a chocolate tea pot?

I do agree that buying new parts for one's push iron is exciting. I'm hitting the bike shop in a few weeks and probably going to make the wife irate when I come home with a completely new drive-train, aero bars and wheels .

I'll most likely not get all the things I want but she has to let me have something as the money I save from riding to work pays for her shoes and bags and what not.

I agree with that, I've got decent v-brakes which will stop just as well and are always going to be lighter than the lightest of disc based systems. Unless your going to be riding the brakes along steep descents for hours and hours there's no real need.

Finally got my husky. 2 month old male. So cute and hardly makes a sound. Bags of energy though. Can't wait for him to get all his vaccines so we can go out for walks and stuff.

Or if you're on wet and muddy descents where discs self clean and perform better than v-brakes which slip horribly in the wet and clog. Though, discs are more vulnerable.

That puppy looks adorably awesome or is it awesomely adorable?

Huskies are soooo cute! Most importantly they maintain awesomeness when they get older.
