The new car

Well, as said before, the new car is here and was just in time to catch what is probably the last of the summer.

While it may have a few problems, which is totally understandable for a used car, overall it's great.

The list of minor problems is not too big and hopefully they should sort them all out when it goes back in to have it's seatbelt tensioner fixed. It's basically just the a/c controller is shot, a few bits of trim are loose (however most I have sorted) and the CD changer (which I don't think they realised it had) isn't fixed in or working at all.

Anyway, I had the chance to take a few photos of her this afternoon after a quick car wash session, here they are...

Goodbye my friend

I can't imagine anyone hasn't heard this by now but last night we lost one of the true great's of this world... my childhood icon and a man that inspired me to dance and sing (only inspired, didn't teach unfortunately)... the King of pop, Michael Jackson.

He has always been an icon to me (may be obvious from my display picture I have everywhere... fedora tipped forwards), even through the periods when he was up for all manner of charges.

The one thing that gets me is how everyone now says what a legend he was, how great he was and how much he will be missed... a lot of these people are the same people who had already said he was guilty of everything thrown at him, said he was a freak, said he was just weird. Now, all of a sudden, they change their tune and praise him? Two-faced assholes if you ask me! It was these people who drove him to depression, and probably caused a lot of the stress which eventually killed him. I blame these people for the death of a true legend!

They say, the star that shines twice as bright only shines half as long... well MJ did more than shine twice as bright, more like a million times a bright, I am grateful for what he gave us it's just a huge shame he has been taken from us so soon and so suddenly.

Real legends never die... Michael Jackson will never die!

OK, so I've been busy

OK, so I never did get round to finishing off the last entry I made. I have been a little busy recently so it never happened. Hell, the faulty GHWT guitar & game are still waiting to be sent back (even though the £10 Amazon voucher has been spent).

Anyway, to get back up to date.
Work, loads on, never enough time to do it and currently losing the will to do it which further slows me down.
Car, just sold the MR2 for just over £100 (a loss of around £17,900). Part exchanged the Civic for a nice little BMW 328i Cabrio which I picked up yesterday...

Rants, well the new car lasted a whole 14 hours before something went wrong... the A/C control panel now refuses to work at all, it's constantly blowing cold air as per the last settings which were 16 deg. Not good! Hopefully the dealer will fix it FOC though, they have to fix the srs warning light FOC anyway so let's hope they do this too.

Also found the CD changer which I wasn't aware of. I knew it had been prepped for it but didn't expect the changer to drop when I opened the cubby... needs bolting in properly and I need to get it to read my CD-Rs (hopefully just due to burning with WMP not anything decent).

Still busy with work, car, everything... hope I get to have a chance to tinker with the car tonight, the plates need changing at least!!

For now, that'll do...
