On the subject of new watches :D :D

It's backwards.
 
Another Thursday and more music bought.



Picked up "The War On Drugs - Lost In The Dream" on double LP.

If you haven't heard this album yet, you're doing yourself an injustice.

And also grabbed "Sufjan Stevens - Greetings From Michigan The Great Lake State"



This is such a lovely record too, I'm going to grab the vinyl versions of his albums too.

Yesterday I picked up the New Robocop remake on bluray along with The Dallas Buyers Club and Inside Llewyn Davis again both on bluray.
 
Something I have wanted for about 2 years. My original 360 controller was starting to pull to the left so I bought this Halo 4 Forerunner 360 controller for $79.00 on ebay brand new. They usually go for about $100.00. :D

This finally came in after some seller shipping errors. Regardless, I absolutely LOVE this Halo 4 Forerunner controller. Looks even better in person especially with the blue lights. :D

Also bought some stuff for detailing the interior of my WRX.

I usually spray the black magic onto the Armorall wipes for a very high gloss shine. :D

I hate a shiny interior, I just use this to get rid of the dirt:

I love a shiny interior. The more shiny, the better. :D Some dash areas under the windshield I don't hit to avoid glare when driving. Other than that, all shine.

I am still in the pursuit to find and even more shiny product than the Black Magic.

On a side note I STILL cant find floor mats I like for my WRX. :irked:
 
I need help!!! Couldn't resist nipping into my local record shop again today after picking up my partners book from Waterstones.

As I loved the War On Drugs album so much, picked it up on CD (the vinyl came with a free MP3 download but it's naff quality) so I could play it a lot more often until I've got my deck. While there I also purchased thier "Future Weather EP" from 2010.

 
Follow up about post 23203. I am not very happy with the "Magic Shine" interior protectant. It actually dries out the product it is applied to. So time to find something else. I will see what Meguiars has to offer for a super high gloss protectant.
 
The Euro Truck simulator world would make for an amazing P2P racing game (with cars of course). I wonder if there is a mod.
People would just end up cruising with their friends and/or ramming each other. And the trucks would have eleventy billion horse power.

The KTM needed new grips.

Since I'll be doing my first hare scramble this weekend, I figured I'd need this 1.5L Camelbak so that I don't die during a 2 hour dirtbike race.:lol:

Also bought front and rear brake pads.
The fronts that are on it are basically new so at least I have them when the time comes.

And then my rear inner tube decided it didn't like staying in one piece.

The tires that were on it were completely done though, so on goes a new set of Dunlop MX51s. Also got heavy duty tubes to reduce the risk of a flat.

I used one for touring (3ltr) and found anything over 2 litres causes discomfort. Seems you have the perfect size.

I now use mine for cycling, hiking and anything outdoors. The bladder is also useful to slide into a proper pack for anytime you're using a backpack.

I can see those being really useful. I should get one for cycling.

The Camelbak brand packs are expensive. I've had 2 hard years of use from mine withno problems (providing its kept clean) and I paid around $10 including delivery for a no branded one.

The choice is yours but I'm sure the top end packs are not a great deal better than the cheap ones.

But yes, massive useful for anyone intoout door pursuits.
