Bump Hory sheet, it works. Science. I think the energy of the music kind of 'excites' my brain and makes stuff happen. Speaking of which, I'm gutted to be missing out on a Black Stone Cherry gig tonight. I think it means our minds are so powerful that additional energy is required to power them...

Not to worry, I'm writing a massive report on it as we speak, only 1 year late.

There was this big and rather expensive experiment I did for work just over a year ago. Some of the data appeared to be wrong, so ultimately a lot of data was discarded and I tried to sort of brush the whole thing under the table. I've just found out today that the calculation I was told to do to get the right units from the raw data was slightly wrong, and now that I've got it figured out the data actually makes perfect sense. I don't even work there anymore...

I like shiny car parts

Argh, that cancerous language kills me as well. Mixed emotions. Job hunt seems to be going relatively well but the family dog has had to be put down - it attacked another dog which isn't unusual by any means but it's too dangerous to keep when there is frequently a baby in the same household. She could be extremely cute at other times but it had to be done really.

Nice. Glad your wheel issue wasn't serious. I deeply embarrassed myself and Volvo today. Got stuck on what was barely even an incline due to super slippery snow, one wheel drive, and not that much weight at the rear, excuses excuses. A Subaru towed me out A fancy diff will be first on the shopping list when I get money, and then I need to find the time to swap over the turbo engine for skids.

...oh

I've seen a lot of forums etc practically move over to facebook pages. Irritating because they definitely don't provide the same functionality - when you are trying to find that useful piece of information that someone wrote a few weeks back, and now it's a few thousand comments down the page!

What are your 'wet' tyres? Speaking of tyres, I'm currently using Yokohama Advan Sport V105s. Did a little bit of 'market research' and they seem to be one of the best all-rounders. I'm liking them but truth be told I haven't done any enthusiastic driving due to my car still being full Grandad Spec.

You kinda have a point, but then the activity stream would do pretty much what the New Content function does. Therefore, don't bother with the activity stream, just go straight to the New Content button.

I still want one of these, except it would be the 2.4 jtd version. Knowing me though, I would be on the way to buy it and then do a u-turn to go look at an old Volvo.

That's strange but I love it.

Buys an Audi and expects cheap parts, what a willy. Youtube is bad. I watched some youtube videos and now I can't shake this terrible idea from my head about putting a T5 engine in a rwd Volvo and then driving it all the way to Gatebil to celebrate in style. Just give me 5 years

Haha, I should probably consider doing this as well. I don't exactly have resolutions, but the basic plan for 2016 is to finish my MPhil degree, get a job, build up my savings again, rent my own flat rather than "sub-renting" rooms, and maybe towards the end of the year I will be in a position where I can start on a fun car project.

Dan the man, what steering wheel did you get for your Clio again? Pic of waxed bolbo, collinite super doublecoat wax - should be good for winter.

Hmm, the deal went to Channel 4 and apparently there will be no commercials during the race. I just hope they do a highlights program like the BBC.

Some mediocre drifting: Had to drive the whole journey home (60 miles) at 40mph because of a knackered wheel bearing. It's going to be retired in a few days time to make way for bigger and better things. Had it for three very awesome years. I will miss it very much.

Got a pic of the car?

I like that clean style. Most enjoyable to watch.

^ This. It might be from 1978 but no less relevant today.

Those heights NOPE Current situation at my Uni:

North south divide worked out in terms of distance, so there!

I sent him a design (that I made on solidworks, lol) and he sent the stickers out the same day. Well happy with my 80's style car decal.

I am slightly jealous what with my daily at the moment being from 1988. Entirely my fault, of course. Probably not as bad as Skoze's choice of daily though.

I can imagine Danny has been wanting to do this for many many years. Epic.
