    Eneloop rechargeable batteries for my wireless Bluetooth keyboard.

    It is an Apple one, but surprisingly it chewed through the batteries that came with it within a month and a half of me using it.

    Heard Eneloop AA batteries are good for photography, so I'm pretty sure they're going to be fine for a keyboard.

    It's a very common conversion here in the states- at least on old muscle cars. Yep, real paint is on the to-do list. Can't decide if I want a matte finish or gloss. Leaning towards matte.

    She corners only slightly better than a drunk sailor. Though, rotates nicely under throttle

    When are you taking her to the strip?

    I'm looking for a moped. Browsing craigslist. Mom won't let me have a motorcycle.
    Since I don't know anything about the motor in the car, I'll probably build another small block chevy to put in. Probably a 383 stroker.

    No plans to take her to the strip as of yet. Will probably wait until I've got the motor sorted and paint done before I start breaking things

    mopeds work well... though, I prefer four wheels and a lid

    Two other new additions...

    27" Quad Core i5 iMac. Had it about a month now. It's pretty sweet... quite a bit more beefy than my beloved dual-core 17" macbook pro.

    Go Like Hell... which I have yet to be able to find the time to sit down and read.

    oh god, loook what I've just ended up staying in this race weekend ....


    Morale of the story is dont pack a perfectly good tent away wet and leave it for 6 months. Horrible smell and only 4 hours before I leave to go racing and no tent. Go online, know the make, had their cammo tent before and this one LOOKED like just an unusual cammo on the computer screen and maybe even midly "rotor" shape.

    DAMN YOU INTERNET PAGES !

    THIS is what it's really like. See even this thumbnail doesn't look TOO bad, but just click on the embarrassing purchase

    Man, I have to sleep in this tomorrow night. I am in for some comments from me fellow competitors. So you lot may as well start early

    Shame you're not racing in an MX-5 then really...

    Oh, you know how to take it...

    Tack on some Hello Kitty and My Little Pony stuff. It'll be humorously ironic.

    Nah, they are the ones actually racing the cars so they'll be able to grasp perfectly the scale of Matra's genius.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    EBC brake pads front and back. Stockers lasted 75k. Not bad if you ask me.
