What is new in your little world?

Test drove a 2019 Merc A Class 220d AMG line auto today. Looking at getting a smaller car because we just don’t need a large one. It’s like an iPad on wheels and went like stink. You can’t beat the build quality of a merc in the price range, nothing comes close.

I did a little 215 mile round trip with a group of riders to a bike festival in the center of the state.

Me, I just returned from the city and that reunion I mentioned where I met workmates and some 5 or so I hadn't seen in 30 years.

Huh? :rolleyes:

I'm dressed to limit my exposure to the sun. I've already had 1 melanoma removed. I don't intend to get any more.

Nice mate! I remember having to wait 8 months for a Honda hybrid once.

Noice.

I'm enjoying the STI but goddamn that thing is stiff on the road. Winter is approaching though and I'll have some opportunities to play with the different differential settings. Should be a hoot drifting some corners in that.

Ah yes, that rare moment when two idiots are both correct and a third idiot points that out.

Re: What is new in your little world?

Been quiet hereabouts so I thought LEGO.
I got one of my old Technic models down from the top of the wardrobe and started reassembly yesterday and finished this morning

It was nice to get 'hands on' again so I thought to post the video I uploaded over 5 years ago and when it was last assembled. I will disassemble in the next weeks and box up for another year.

Nice. Is it a 4 year lease and then you give it back?

I went in to speak to someone about the Neo yesterday. I might go have a word with Audi about their E-tron range as well.

This has been announced and it leaves my current derv A3 in a spot of bother...

I saw the stage show Chicago and thoroughly enjoyed

An Australian lineup of actors in the roles...Natalie Bassingthwaighte as Roxie Hart, Alinta Chidzey as Velma Kelly, Casey Donovan as Matron ‘Mama’ Morton and Tom Burlinson as Billy Flynn.

The show excellent.

THE Natalie Bassingthwaighte???

the ear cushions on the sennheiser 280pro (bought late2017) finally gone. Ordered these

Post by **YourGrandpa** » Sat Nov 16, 2019 4:05 am

No fuckin way! First Whiskey builds something out of Legos and now you're getting new ear cushions. You guys are living on the edge...

Post by **Captain** » Sat Nov 16, 2019 5:43 am

Ear cushions are way more interesting than YourBlandPa's new chrome dildo accessories

I went to the dealership today to have my 1000 mile service done. Upon arrival I noticed there was a vendor installing (Dirty Air) air ride systems. This is something I was already planning to do, so I said WTF. I had them install an "instant up" rear shock system. I'll get the center stand later. Riding low.

I think I know what you're talking about... is it only functional when parked?
