I've seen a Laser disc still being used in 2012. It was awesomely amazing at how large the disc was.

I wanted one, just for kicks.

I have a Laserdisc at home, and a VCD somewhere... as a memento of my years spent selling Laserdisc players! I also sold DCC players, DAT players, Minidisc players, CD-i Players, etc. etc., but the only format I ever bought into myself was Minidisc, which I till have some of at home too

It's been three years in the making, Macklemore & Lewis have worked so hard on this.

So good it's #1 on iTunes,

7 (only 6 shown, have to tell them i'm missing the end of the 908) 8x10's to make this shot real. I also bought the frames, but they rather suck and are falling apart :/
Basically I'm gonna frame 'em all and hang them up in a line to make a gigantic panorama essentially.​

Bought my First car!-- from my dad...

for 22k its a pretty awsome ride!

 

[Patrick]

[Theace37]

308 GTS '78 (Dont give me the pics or it didnt happen- allready been through this)

Had a look on YouTube there and it's awesome, I'd say they started a new genre called alternative hip hop/R&B.. Like the Specials did with Ska I believe as there's are the only ska songs I could find

Oh my god. My dad would kill you for that car. I love it also.

Pics or it didn't happen.

(and don't forget the paper with your GTP name on it)

 

[Theace37]

Edit: its on the lift right now so do you guys mind if part of the car cover is still on?

You're not being specific enough, a 308 GTS 78 in Australia could be one of these.

The 308 being an indication of the engine size in cubic inches.

I'll assume your talking about the Ferrari version though .

Cheers Shaun.

 

[nealcropper]

@theace have you just bought a Ferrari!?

 

[gtuned]

Quit stalling and take a damn picture. Or are you going to take someone else's picture and just highlight the car, and say it's yours?

I thought he was talking about that.
I did think it was a little odd that an American would have a Holden.

 

[Theace37]

Yes its a ferrari, why would I stall the picture? Ittl bebin the same garage that the last car you didnt belive I had and then proved.... along with the fact that some of you have allready seen the car, when it was in my father's possession.

Will repat question again: would you prefer shots of it with the cover on and on lift with gtp logo now, or prefer to wait until I take it to have the clutch replaced so its drivable?

 

[Theace37]

@theace have you just bought a Ferrari!?

And to your questoon yes, it wasent very expensive, would have been an boxter or this so I nought the 308.... for 22k it seemed pretty cool.

Awesome buy pal. I'd prefer a picture of a working Ferrari, I don't like to see them poorly. Haha

 

[kennylmao]

Whichever you think is the quickest. We're too excited, you see.

So, the retina MBP I bought had a buzzing keyboard when the keyboard backlight was turned on, so I returned that and exchanged it with a new one, which I found out had an LG screen which suffers from some nasty image retention, a big no-no when working with photos and graphics (the screens manufactured by Samsung don't suffer from it). So I exchanged that replacement, and what do you know, third time lucky I get a rMBP that doesn't buzz like a bee or suffers from a defective screen. Used the opportunity to buy some heavily discounted Applecare too. Now I have a perfect laptop and can sleep in peace tonight.

 

[Theace37]

Ok ill take a photo n the lift with my gtp name when I get home, and some of the interior when I take it down this weekend.


Now for the question... should I take it to the ferrari dealer to get the tranny replaced, even tjough its double the price of the fiat one?

It will be the same gearbox put in, just a different store doing it

 

[nealcropper]

Can you afford the Ferrari dealer to do it? Also has everything else been done by a Ferrari dealer?

Everything on the car has been done at the ferrari dealer and since the car is still in my dads name im tachnically the first owner....

And yes, I can affford it but it would cut my spending down on other things...

Then if everything else is Ferrari your kinda obliged to carry on putting ferrari stuff on it.

Received these in the mail yesterday:

Should receive this today or tomorrow:

 

[nealcropper]

Are they actual books?

 

[Brett]

Yep. I figure a bit of financial support to something that has provided me some entertainmnent was in order.

 

[Pyle_PMG]

Paid for half of it.

A month ago.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

$174.99

1GB version to save some money, but opted for the better cooler to hopefully get a quiet experience with a mild overclock.

This will be a 4850 to 7850 upgrade, so it should be a pretty hefty difference.

Ok... Ferrari it is!


Edit: now I just gotta arrange for someone to come and pick the car up ..
