Would you really need a watch if it took you that long to notice? :lol:

I don't wear my watch apart from in public places, so yes. :p

Ryzza5 · November 27, 2012

Well I wouldn't be seen wearing that LED watch in public.

You must drive an Audi :lol:

What can I say? Santtu's Audi already rubbed off on me. :lol:

I'd say go for it (if you're still thinking), the price is really low for a brand new DSLR and from what I know, it's basically a D5100 (which I love) without a few of the features :)

Speaking of cameras, I'm probably getting one of these after christmas:

A few months ago my front panel mic port died, it was physically broken in the way that I had to push the microphone cable down at an angle for it to pick up the sound at all. A few days ago I was going to take off the front panel of the PC and fix it, but as I was trying to pry off the connector that goes to the motherboard, the PCB sparked. So now I have no front panel.

So now I'm looking for a PC case. At this point, my PC is so bloody out-dated that there's no sense at all in me going low budget again. Thinking of getting the Thermaltake Level 10 GT, should be fairly future proof, but will take me quite while to save for (retails at around $300 here) Any thoughts?

Elgato Game Capture HD PVR Gaming Recorder for Xbox PS3 Mac or PC 1080i | eBay

Would be able to record PS3 and XBox... and I could loop it through my PC to record games without using FRAPS... hence no/less FPS drop. If I can get the sound to output via the graphics card (HDMI) and the motherboard simultaneously.

Nokia Lumia 820 or Nokia Lumia 710

Running WinPhone which I don't like at all but they're both better than comparable small Android devices and at roughly the same price. :hmmm:

ScoobSTi · January 7, 2013

820 looks better. :hmmm:

...

Aaaand that's all I know about Windows Phones. :fp2:

iNotACactus · January 7, 2013

The 820's a superior device but the 710's a lot cheaper.

Camel · January 7, 2013

A pair of these as I'm pretty sure the rubber cones are knackered on the front. These let me adjust the ride height too so I might be able to get into Tesco!

And various bushes, gaiters and knuckle joints for the steering and suspension. Also getting new tyres fitted tomorrow morning.

ScoobSTi · January 13, 2013

Burton Rider's Pack. I've only recently started looking at Burton's products and apparently they have tons of good stuff. Plus, I like those colors (sue me!) and it's a lot better than my current bag, which cost around $20 less.

I'm thinking of getting some facelift model taillights for my A3, could get a pair for cheap from a crashed one for example :hmmm:

I'm also thinking of getting new rims but that's not gonna happen anytime soon :hmmm:

Still in the hunt for a car, I've decided that this is the time of year to buy. And by that i mean buy something sporty. :nods:

And on that note...

The MG TF. prices of them have plummeted of late so can pick them up for just over a grand, and with low mileage. Also low mileage means I can prevent the head gasket problem before they kick in.

Can't say no to a mid-Engined, RWD with a K-series engine...same stuff that makes the Mk1 Elise good. ;)

My uncle has one of these, or had, only seen him in his other car recently.

It was awesome fun to be driven in, great handling and very quick. Sound good too. :)

Ryzza5 · January 17, 2013

Couldn't you find a photo with a guy in it? :p

Looks like fun regardless

They are meant to be good, albit with the stuff you;d expect from an old MG/Rover but also helps a bit with parts.

Not bad for a car thats based on the Rover 100 Chassis. ;)

If I get it though, i'd see if I can get the grill/bumper from the later 'Chinese TFs'(made under Chinese MG, but in the UK). Going to phone up insurance and see how much roughly it'd be for me.

@ Ryzza: I could't be bothered looking for ages for a pic. :cheeky: Sadly the car does have a slight image problem that MX5's have in the UK. :lol:

Been thinking about getting a Cherry Bomb glass pack muffler. Less expensive than a Flowmaster 40 and still sounds great. Just gotta wait to sell my old ATV then I'll have the money.

I need to buy some cover/case for the iPad. There are so many of them, and no one is cheap! :panic:

GTAMADDOG · January 18, 2013

I'm looking to get some tailored rubber floor mats for the 306. I bought some universal fabric ones from a supermarket soon after I got the car just so I didn't have to have pink floor mats any longer, but the fabric is starting to wear through where the heel of my shoes rest on the driver's side, and they seem to cling on to every spec of dirt possible which I hate. So I'm hoping to get some rubber mats to either replace them or just put over the top depending on how they fit.

Also looking at new head units with Bluetooth built in, USB and Auxiliary input, maybe DAB+ as well. I'm not looking for subs/amps/upgraded speakers though, hate that stuff. I also need to get a couple of new tyres, but hopefully the current ones will last until I next have a few days off work so I can be in for the delivery. The local garages all seem to only sell ditch-finders or massively over-price decent brands so I'll just buy them from the internet like last time.

Oh, and I need to buy some drop-links and top mounts for the front at some point and hopefully that will sort out the knocking noise I've currently got.

By the time I've done all of that the weather might've cleared up enough for me to be able to do a proper detail on her ready for the Spring/Summer.
