There was a weekend only 30% off Levi's sale at Myer in Australia, which came as a surprise and made me feel less guilty about buying a jacket too. Come at me winter!

Technically not my last purchase, that being a torque wrench and a 24mm socket, Driver San Francisco.
$49 however the store had a 2 for 1 deal going on so technically I paid $24.50 and the other game I got was F1 2011. (Bought on Friday)

These aren't all latest, but I've been waiting to post them all together.
I'm embarking on my first car project. I can change oil and brake pads, but nothing more than that, so I'm jumping into the deep end and building myself a Land Rover. There's a very common conversion amongst the Land Rover scene - take a rust bucket Discovery 1 MOT failure with a 200tdi diesel engine, and put it in a pre-93 Defender or Series - the NA diesels were only good for 65hp, the turbodiesels around 80, whereas the 200tdi's will give 110hp and the engine mountings are the same and gearbox bellhousing bolts straight on. By the end I should have a Land Rover biult exactly how I want it.
The donor, bought off ebay in December, collected from Scotland:
The recipient, owned by work since 1994 and with a broken 2.5 NA diesel:
I'll still need a runaround as I don't have a blue Disco anymore, and this was the cheapest car on Autotrader with tax and an MOT - £200 of Japanese mediocrity, otherwise known as a 1987 Mitsubishi Colt with a 3 speed automatic and, when new, 74bhp. 52,000 miles since new - I'm the first owner younger then retirement age:
Now I need to (re)grow a mullet for the pick up truck.

It'll be a green laning workhorse mainly, but I'll take it on the odd pay'n'play day. I'll be getting an Ifor Williams canopy for the bed. I have a long term plan for the summer: the great thing about the pick ups is that the cab roof is only bolted on, so I could take that off, take off the canopy, buy some hinges for the windscreen and fold it forward, and the highest point of the car would be the top of the seat. I need to get some military doors with the sliding windows for that as the top half of the door unbolts, unlike the civilian doors it has at the moment. That would make greenlaning would be a lot more fun!
I know a few people who have built Land Rovers before and there's a lot of information on how to do most things if you know where to look; I'll also learn a lot doing it.
Work asked if they could have the Disco back as the van they had was rotten. As it past the previous MOT by the skin of its proverbial teeth and will need quite a bit of welding, I was happy to oblige in exchange for everything I spent on it getting it going + a bit more. The One Ten was part of that arrangement. The Mini's still around but I'm selling it soon; I don't have the time or money to spend on a vehicle I can't hammer around the farm in - hence the Colt, which I can break and not care about - and I've not driven the Mini for almost a year. I'd rather have it sold to a good home rather than have it sat on the driveway, rotting.

McLaren: The art of racing.
Bought this from Amazon and it's just arrived even though they say it's not out until the 30th...
Oh, and Roo with no hair and (soon to be) no mini? What's the world coming to?

Sort of an older movie, but I read the book and loved that.
Cost me $4 in the bargain bin at Wal-Mart, trying to be cheap as possible so I can buy a new PS3...
Still about $80 short (I'm getting the old model 80 GB one that can play PS2 games - PS2 is also dead.)

Finally got fed up with the lack of good Gran Turismo DLC, bought a XBox360 and Forza 4.

Got these wheels. I know a lot of people think that the World Rally Blue STI on gold wheels is overplayed, but hey... I'm a huge WRC fan. I had to do it.
