Are you still talking about Joey's TPMS? That's not a regulation, that's just a Mini.
 
It'll probably be regulation soon enough though :indiff:.
 
Going off the resounding success which was my first real RPG experience with Fallout 3 just a few weeks ago, I thought I’d give this a try as well:

I was but mostly in jest. My car's got auto lights and wipers but I don't think these kind of systems are without fault. The act of doing basic maintenance (tyres, water, oil etc) makes you look at your car and spot other problems that may not be monitored. Having your lights come on automatically can stop you thinking about it getting dark and adjusting your driving accordingly and the same applies to wipers and a wet road.

I know I'm being pedantic but people who don't think about their driving annoy the hell out of me but that may come from being an ex biker and having a persecution complex that everyone is trying to kill me ;)



Anyway this is pretty much off topic so here are my latest purchases...both for my wife!

From what I've seen it's an absolutely brilliant game. I love games like Oblivion and Fallout. When you've played it a bit, I think you can get some nice laughs out of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaP7UvOaM5E
 
Went out for some clothes shopping this afternoon. Didn't buy much, but I did get a sweet pair of shoes and a pretty nice shirt.

Morrowind is the precursor to these titles, and IMO, the better of the three.

I sank so many hours into Morrowind. I became a Soul Trap whore and tweaked Creeper just to sell a ton of crap. Never got around to finishing it as it was just far too buggy. It would just crash at random times. I think it got better with the expansions, but I never bought them. Been ages since I played Oblivion, Civ IV had become my new crack. I might have to fire it up again one of these days.

Also, add me to the list of people who recently purchased FF XIII. Heading out tomorrow to check out some hockey equipment so I might come home with something.

For $660 shipped to my door. Oh, and the tires have an $80 rebate so the actual total for the complete set will be $580. Not bad. :)
 
$580.

That is seriously too cheap.

From where?

[Nice choice, BTW. I like RPF1's. The RT-615 is getting a bit dated but is still a pretty solid tire]

Discount tire direct. I think they have the rebate on the tires to help clear out old stock. They are re-releasing this tire later this year with a different tread compound.

Oh, and those wheels are knock-offs, just so you know. ;)

Yeah those aren't RPF1s there buddy.



As if they weren't cheap enough as it is..
 
This morning started very well, went to the garage to get my exhaust checkup and my mate there hooked me up with 2 new Toyo Proxes TR1's for £50 inc fitting :D


Left my car there, walked home and this was waiting for me:


:D :D
 
I feel like I should be buying tires now :lol:.
 
The latest issue of Miniworld magazine, it has a feature on a custom Mini(The white one) belonging to one of my college tutors that was built by students on the same course as me last year, it also has a sneak peak of an awesome project that is underway now so was something I had to buy really.;)

It's a beautiful day outside today, so I decided to hit up the mix-and-match 6 pack shop today after work. Because of the unseasonable warmth I went with some warm weather beer. 2 sierra nevadas, 2 hop hog IPAs, and 2 red stripes.

Now it's time to kick it on the back porch, drink, and watch the big east hoops tournament

I'm already feeling a buzz too after drinking 2 of those hop hogs, 7.9 ABV and couldn't taste smoother.

Looks like either a phone or a sony walkman mp3/4 player. :confused:
 
Foolkiller is correct. It's phone and i really like it. I can even remote play on my ps3. :D

Road tax, to drive on poor pot hole ridden roads :grumpy:

Its not all bad though, at least mine hasnt shot up like a few of my mates, yay for small frugal engines :)

Bit off topic but they base road tax around the cars standard co2 emissions, if your cars emitting lower co2 than it should and you have an MOT to prove it should your road tax be cheaper?? :dopey:
