Just back from driving the new Alfa Giulia. In Italy, with plenty of young lovelies looking after us. It's pretty damn good!

Did any of them survive?  From what I gather, they were dropping like flies, being picked up by tow trucks when various things failed.  A shame they can't shake that Alfa build quality.  Not like I'll be buying one anyway as they're not doing 6MT over here.  Fail.  Would have been interested if they had though.

If I had some assurance on further paychecks from this gig I just started AND if there wasn't such a hassle trying to ship RIFs into FInland, I'd be interested in that Firehawk...

 

Although my pistol collection DOES have an USPc-sized hole in it, too... Damn.

Owe me, not sure what you mean Stunt? :P

 

It is going for whatever I put in the sales thread thingy, I am just trying to shift to spring / gas due to my preference for both.

 

Either way, if it is gone it is one less thing to worry about for me ;)

Just got home from a Tough Mudder in the Midlands.. Really enjoyed it and I feel way better than I expected to. Considering I finished work at 0130 this morning im very chuffed! Now for a takeaway and beer before early bed!

I was climbing steep* rock stairs in the wind and rain at Tintagel Castle.

 

There were American tourists wearing all the multi layered technical clothing systems and specialist hiking boots while I was doing the lot in issue assault boots a softshell and MTP trousers.

 

 

*44 degree incline. Measured it because I'm a geek and wanted to use my ballistic computer app.

@hitmanNo2 - The only one that failed was one of the Quadrafoglios that was, in the words of one of the staff "crashed a leetle bit". TBH, I was hoping for the manual gearbox as well, but having driven one it's not such a loss. The auto is the ubiquitous 8 speed ZF and is really good, and the paddles work well too. Aside from the engine and torque shifting diff, the running gear for the non-Cloverleafs is the same as the Cloverleaf, so the diesel auto handles really well and is surprisingly level in the corners.

Whilst I haven't driven either the auto or manual, I hear the shortcomings of the manual can be rectified with an aftermarket short shifter. I'm a bit of a petrol snob so no diesel for me ha ha.

It just means how much have you spent on it.

What would you need to get to be happy?

 

I'll look in the sales thread.

 

Erm, gun was £140, mags were about £30-40, battery was about £10, suppressor was £15 and charger was free. So at £200 odd and barely used I think the price I have put in the thread is fine enough, whatever it is this time :D.

So, it turns out that for the purposes of remaking my prop backpack, one well-programmed microcontroller will do the job at which a simpler electronic contraption (555, transistor, capacitors, resistors) utterly failed.

GTA 5 is good. GTA Online is not...

 

Only because most of the players are utter toolshops and can't even come up with half a plan, ending with most heists getting wiped for the dumbest reasons.

GTA-V

 

 

Holy *suitcase*.

 

Why did I wait so long for it to be under £30 in a sale?  This game is worth £60.  I should have bought it months ago...

And you'd better be playing it in first person to get that oh so satisfying feeling of punching a hipster in the face.

 

First person driving after a night on the booze should be mandatory to anyone thinking of drink driving - so difficult.

I must admit GTA V is one of those few games that even if they sold me the game for £10 then made me micropay missions at 10-20p a game I would consider it and be broke. That game is so much of the good things.

 

Also, turns out that I can get a £1.60 bus each way to my 'local' airsoft shop, better yet the bus is about one every 10mins and takes about an hour so I can catch up on my 3DS time :D.
