I recently got myself a Z3 Compact and am really enjoying it so far. I was gonna root it but feel a little out of my depth there, so I've just customized it with Nova Launcher and an Icon pack.

The battery life is pretty amazing too.

The agree that the Passat would be a much more practical car, but for a small family I think the CC is perfect and very usable.

Is the CC a re-name of the Bora or Jetta?

Its still a handsome car never-the-less.

At least some of the mechanicals were upgraded and improved.

It will continue to sell. If it aint broke dont fix it approach to the exterior design has been working out for the A4...since its introduction in 1994...like I said...it is what it is.

94? I didn't realise it's been around that long, I thought it came about in the very early 90's.

 

 

It's amazing to me that the 24hrs of Le Mans had absolutely terrible coverage yet the 6hrs at Watkins Glen are completely covered.

 

On Fox Sports, right?

 

There's a channel here called Motors TV that's been airing "streams" from the Fox Sports coverage live. Just wish they did the same with the NASCAR.

 

Yeah it was on FS1 and I think the final hour went to FS2.

Do you not get to watch NASCAR or you wish they covered the Tudor Series better like NASCAR?

The 6rs at the Glen actually kind of sucked..the rain was soooo bad. Usually I enjor watching races in the rain but this was such a heavy downpour there were constantl cars sliding off course. They even red Flagged the race due to rain. Now that is impressive for a series that races in the rain. It finished the last 35 minutes under a yellow flag..

 

Couple years ago you could watch it on a sort of public access channel which had coverage of it, but since then it's all become subscription which sucks some. They used to show the Nationwide series at one point but not anymore.

I only saw about an hour or so of that race. Would liked to have watched more but I had company around at the time haha.

"Hey guys...we still have these older models left. What do we do with 'em?"

"Just give a bunch of sales stuff about less weight yada yada yada"

"Got it!"

Looks like I need to do a bit more saving and purchase another car part. My wallet is crying.

Well hopefully those extra horses will give it adequate power but I doubt it's going to give it much of a kick.

"0-60 in 8 seconds"

I'm very skeptical.

The parts arrived. YES!

Random and sad thought: It is so difficult when a pet passes.  We have to say goodbye to our cat Bella this afternoon. She's been my buddy since my partner moved in with her 7 years ago.  Always at the door to greet me when I come home and always waiting for me to wake up in the morning.

 

I feel more deeply about this than I have some relations that have passed.   I think in part because I had an idea it was coming for them and also it is tough because I have to make the decision to end her suffering. This just came on so suddenly. 

It's always a sad moment when a family pet passes and when they've been with you for so long it's like a member of the family has gone.

Sorry for your loss.

Random thought; when the hell are my parts going to arrive?

I'm listening to D12 - Purple Hills right now.

It's the "clean", or cleaner, version of Purple Pills and I quite like this one a lot more.

I havn't played the Fast and Furious update to the game but from what I've read, you need to do the "missions" for the cars to unlock and be usable.

Don't give up on the game just yet though, it's a great game with some really nice American muscle cars present.

I'm not too keen on the looks of the standard Juke, but this one looks really nice. Loving the matte paint and the sporty looks of it.

I saw a brilliant looking American car from the 60's/70's on my travels a few days ago. I couldn't identify it but it looked something like a Buick or could have even been a Caddy. The burbling noise it made as it went past was pretty sweet to hear.

From the front it looks like some sort of bug-eyed alien, but from the side it has a certain charm about it.

I've never really been a fan of modern Mini's but this one has got some charm going for it, I'll give it that.

I've got Speak To Me Someone - Gene playing.

I heard this song over a decade ago on a candid camera style show and by chance came across it again today. I did'nt take much notice of the lyrics back 10 or so years ago but now that I actually listen to them, they're quite hard hitting.

The new 3 series looks nice...

Come on, it's a dead-ringer for one. The only thing I like about this is the colour.

This is one beautiful looking car.

If I could afford one I'd get the turbocharged 2.0. I bet it gives off a lovely sounding purr.

I can't be the only one who thought it was a BMW 3 or 5 series as soon as I saw it, can I?

Maybe it's just the angle, but the lines look like a carbon copy. Is it a brand new model or are they re-using a chasis from someone?

I'm not normally a fan of convertables, but there's just something about this that I like. It's like it's convertable guise suites it really well.

Very nice looking car.

Dodge impress me again and give me more reason for liking the RAM. That thing will be a beast!

Now that really does look quite nice indeed.

I think it will blend in to the hatchback market with ease.

Cake - The Distance

I heard this on a commercial for the Tour de France and it reminded me of the song all over again. Great tune.

I bout my dad a box of Liquorice Allsorts and also three war films that I think he will enjoy very much.

I'm glad I saw the DVD's when I did as I was a little stuck on what else I could get him.

There are some great pre-tuned cars out there, but unless it's something special, I would rather modify it myself.

If I modify it myself I can make it my own, if you get what I mean? I can look at the work I've done, the bits I've added or changed and can be proud in saying that I put in the work to make it look like this. Getting a pre-tuned car, yes I would be proud of it but it would feel like a hollow sort of proudness. It would be mine, but it wouldn't be my own. Sure I could change stuff if I wanted but it just wouldn't feel the same.

So I'll take modifying.
