Just got into Coromandel Town. Never seen the gf so freaked out in a car ride before. Winding just does not even begin to describe the road. Constant curves with no shoulder and a drop to the beach that is barely wide enough for 2 cars, then all of a sudden you start going up and have a even bigger drop without a shoulder next to you. I really wish I had a dashcam with me, you really need to see these roads to understand how insane it is.

Pretty happy with the Alfa, handles really nice and goes pretty quick as long as you keep it above 3k RPM. Just gotta remember to not attempt beach driving again.

NV requires a little cheeky ceremony to perform the marriage, so it was impromptu and quick, as well as goony as gently caress.

I got 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Followed by stepping in dog poo poo as soon as I got up to get a shower. Roomies' dog apparently couldn't handle being left alone for four hours.

A few days before Christmas, and wasn't intended as a present, but rear end in a top hat Casserole brought this thing by.



Best one in the house: stepdad got me an Ilumi, from their Kickstarter - and kept it hidden away for months. Yeah I'm a total geek for lighting stuff. I'm gonna have to eventually pick up a couple more; I can see them coming in really handy for still photography.

Dad mailed a check for $300. Holy poo poo that's going to make a huge dent in the bills, and also let me pick up some new front speakers for the Ion. The stock coaxials sound good (particularly for stock speakers in an econobox), but some Focals or Infinitys would sound better.

Those roads on a sunny day just about sum up my idea of Heaven. And the wife's idea of a dizzy, nauseous Hell. If you have some spare time hit up the Buddhist commune out on the Penninsula.

Nice, I have the 120SR and have used it twice to terrify the cats before realizing I'm gonna kill one eventually, so I took it outside and wiped out half of the landlord's rose bush before calling it a day. Be careful where you use it dude.


My GF got me a 2gal Rotopax for Christmas which is exactly what I wanted. I instantly ordered another + mounting hardware for the tailgate so my offroad travels aren't so terrifying when the gas gets down to <50mi range in the middle of nowhere. Also a tailgate table for when we're camping and some other camping gear since we've picked that up a lot this year.

Congrats on the marriage CSB.

I just got home from driving the G-wagon cross country (1200kms round trip) after spending christmas at my sisters. The old girl managed without a glitch, and i felt a redneck kinda pride when i managed to drive up the hill my sister lives on even when it was unplowed.

my wifey is kinda great. I havent been able to run proper rc races (1:8 scale buggy) since the kids showed up. had sold all my gear and so on. She had gotten me a brand new xray buggy, engine and servos and all the good stuff. she even included a "coupon" for 4 race weekends i can attend guilt free.
It was the first year the twins was old enough to really grasp christmas, was fantastic to see them so riled up and unpacking their XC skis.:3: :norway:

If not for the fact that i am spending new years day (wich is also my 30th birthday) getting radiation i would start to let up on the "gently caress 2014" stuff.

btw, the mileage a G500 gets is...not great. and for some reason, my father who was catching a ride with me (wife and kids flew over) insisted that he had do drive when we got to the mountains. Was kinda awsome seeing the old man skidding around and honking on the snowplough to go faster :D

So protein shake for breakfast, Chipotle burrito for lunch, Totino's pizza for dinner and a few handfuls of Chicken N Bisket crackers and a huge screwdriver to top it off and at 4am the gastric pain was so intense it nearly brought me to tears. It's amusing that I only find God and beg for his forgiveness after a bad food combination.

That's a keeper! Have you posted in the RC thread here? It usually hovers on the first and second page. I've yet to build an XRAY but I lust after every one of their sedan chassis. We just don't have a good on road following where I live

How big? I started with a ten gallon community freshwater tank when I was 15 and ended up with a 220 gallon reef.

Now my only tank is a 1.2 gallon freshwater planted tank on my desk at work. I miss having a big tank but I have no room at home.
