Go lick some more windows ya clag eating, crayon sniffing numptie

WPMO - I'm starting to have birthdays that I can remember my dad having. I remember his birthday when he turned how old I am now - it was full of old, geriatric farks I'm now that age

Politically correct and XR6T forum isn't needed. I'm a fat carn't (but working on it), but "the spark wasn't there" was a bit too subtle

Why the f*ck didn't you say so in the first post?

maybe he just keeps losing keys

I gathered the no-bonk outcome due to the posting in the WPMO thread

Yeah - they keep promising bang for buck, but everyone I've had has always felt "almost there". I generally push them towards a brand with a decent warranty/returns process for lappies - sometimes I don't want to deal with spyware, lost files and user error on a box put together for them 5 years ago. Have got a couple of relatives that "I don't build PC's anymore" for too Am running a Surface Pro 3 in the docking station with a 28" monitor, keyboard and mouse on my other desk. Gives me the realestate when sitting down, but is just a matter of picking up the tablet on my way out the door and I've got my whole office with me 24/7.

Nah - sold that back around 2001 - put 100,000k/s on it in the 3 years I had it touring with the (ex)misses - everywhere except W.A. The little fellow you see in the pic was conceived in a tent in Tassie on one of those trips Got a VTR for a few years after the Blackbird - pipes and sprocket totally change the bike, wasn't impressed with them stock Have had a ZX-14 now for the last few years - don't get to go out on it much these days (back surgery a couple of years ago made it a bit more of an effort) I find the XR6T satisfies most of the urges I need to let out occasionally. Prior to getting the Falcon I was driving a Pajero and was riding a few days a week just to quieten down the demons in my head that the 4WD couldn't satisfy The WTF stages don't last long between the selling of one bike and the picking up of another.

Bugger. It's my birthday and have plans - would have been there in a flash otherwise. I wonder if my well wishers would swap the restaurant meal we have booked for a couple of snags at Ford?

Yes

Me at the "yay" stage

Box is a fair few years old now. 3770k, 16gb, Asrock Z77 Fatality Pro and had 2x7970's in crossfire. Bought the 3x27" monitors at the same time. 7970's for the 5970x1080. They were powerful, but never quite right. Was glad to swap them out and ebay them to lessen the hit on the wallet. Upgraded to the 980's a couple of months ago for 4k gaming - rest of the rig is still a beast. Yeah, like you building them's a bit of a hobby and I try to jump in before friends/family buy a box from Harvey Norman's to put them together a much better system much cheaper (cost of parts + bottle of drink of their choice) Lately though I've been tending to suggest decent laptops in most cases for them - fit's their needs better.

Yep - I reckon the pet (or child even) needs to find/suit their name. It's a pretty important thing and too hard to pick before you actually meet them.

Am running 2x980GTX's - overkill for the 3 screen cockpit, but main monitor is a 4k 40" one. Gets me a steady 60fps with most things maxed on just about everything I've tried. Running with v-sync on ATM so it doesn't budge off 60fps. Will turn it off at some stage and see where it's at. Didn't even look at the settings, so not sure if it was on ultra or lower. Just finished hooking everything up and cut a few laps of the Island and the Mountain. Been ages since I drove anything, so am very rusty. I did manage a few clean laps. Also managed to write off a couple of FG's Need to get the spirit level out and get the screens properly aligned, mount and hook up the speakers and work out how to mount the buttkicker (they didn't send me the gamer one I ordered which is simple to attach, but the model above which isn't easy to mount) MX-5 day tomorrow, getting my eye in and then I go live : ) Son's got a mate coming over tomorrow so will be the 2 cockpits running the PS3's and Gran Turismo. Might not get to race afterall :S (I don't usually spurge or go overboard like this, but it was a good year and did the hard yards over the previous couple of ones - birthday is next week so I decided to spoil myself)

We called her Tiba. Tiba the Shiba (the rhyme was actually a coincidence and not planned) When anyone asked her name I was saying TBA - To be Announced/Arranged etc. Me and my son looked at each other and a the same time said "TBA....... - Tiba" Stuck and suited Got another puppy at puppy school with the same name too - will have to ask them the source of their choice

I think Fluff's pup could swallow her in one gulp

I've got a 1kg bed warmer

Still on YumCha Brand™ tyres?

Fitted the Goodyear F1 Assy2's Last few weeks I've been losing confidence in the Invo's. Still tread left, but have been feeling harder and harder, losing traction in the wet etc Wet day today, so won't get to give them much of a test out, but will at least get to see how they go in puddles

Main plan is to slog it out my licences in IRacing then mix it with the big boys. Project Cars, Assetto Corsa, Gran Turismo etc as I feel like. Have still got my old setup so can go head to head with the kids or mates when they drop over. FG Falcon around Bathurst you said?

Tomorrow is plugging it all in and setting up the screens, sound and position etc - sunday will be race day

SMS from a random phone "Ya misses has been doing the dirty for 10 years - ask her about xxxxx, xxxx and xxxxxxx" Done

Sitting in dentist waiting room. I hate dentists. Sore tooth won out though.
