Are kids toys wrong?

Excuse the terrible photo, but have a look at this and are if you think it's suitable to be on a kids toy!

Still no darth!

Still waiting for darth!

I spoke to the dealership yesterday who confirmed that they are waiting for parts, seals to be exact..

I think the seals are walking from Germany!

Oh well, off out drinking tonight, so the weekend should pass quickly! Fingers crossed darth will be ready early next week!

GOK is gone, long live darth

I said a somewhat emotional goodbye to my beloved but broken Eunos roadster this morning.

GOK went terminal with an engine failure a little while ago and I just haven't got the time to put him back together.. The new owner is going to spend the time to restore him, so he lives on!

Darth is the replacement, a splendid jack black smart brabus roadster coupe xclusive.. Quite frankly, I can't wait to get my hands on darth and start enjoying driving again!

Fingers crossed we should get a call from the dealer today to let us know when he'll be ready.

The AutoSport/Pistonheads Show

What a day... Great on most levels, poor on others... It was great to catch up with Frosty and witness some of this tyre destruction..
The Live Action Arena show was splendid, some really nice cars and some impressive driving..
You do think that they could make a little more of it though.. It seems to take the same format every year.. Wandering around the halls, you really begin to think that you actually need several days to take the show in properly.. There are an awful lot of things to see, and, having seen other peoples photos, it's all to easy to miss some of them.. Would I go to the Autosport show again? Maybe... but only if I had free tickets!!

Geek Toys

As a kid, Lego was great, as I grew up, Technic Lego became popular and now with mindstorms has become quite simply incredible.. This is just one of the many Mindstorms model videos floating around on youtube at the moment, all of them are seriously impressive

How small is your desk?

This is mine at the moment.. The blue files on the left belong to someone else.

Reduced sodium salt

Whilst waiting for my lunchtime sandwich, I noticed a packet of Reduced Sodium Salt.. Now, if my school boy chemistry is correct, surely salt is Sodium Chloride... So what is reduced Sodium Salt... Can we have reduction on the milkyness of milk, the beeryness of beer, the pepperyness of pepper? This world continues to entertain me! ---------------------- sent via blackberry
