Had a bomb arse meal last night. Two rib eyes, crispy quail halves, gnocchi, s'n'p squid, passionfruit meringue roulade, donuts w/ chocolate dipping sauce.

+ Beer. Lots of beer. Hence calling Brettles at some stage according to my phone records.

Haha.

Where is the 'app' for drunk people?

Sig worthy.

Big House is a monster. For me anyway. I can knock back a lot of other beers as session ales, but the Big House just has something about it. Has to be the hops. Sedative!

Then a few 2 SN Pales, a Torp and a couple of Dark Ale to round it out. <-- Amended since reading the receipt.

I remember calling you, I was just being silly. Lish was off talking to Canada for ages (Lish got smashed, hahahaha, was awesome - had to get desi's to pick us up and stay in town) so I got really bored and checked SubyClub. Hilarious.









For me. Mainly. I'm gathering.

:)

Also have major aches/pains so knocked down a few Mersyndol with my Big House's after work.

:)

Adam, you're reminding me of oldschool MSN days... where you just type a few letters in the message box before you go out, just to Posted Image with people for while.

Would you say it's astonishingly good?

No, not really.

The engine spec is pretty much a standard street engine parts/machining list.

From the pics the body doesn't really look arrow straight and the engine bay has been fitted with flat sheet to attempt a 'clean' look.
Is the paint meant to be a glossy flat or a flat gloss? In sunlight you can see the spray lines.
Wheels are OK.



I don't know if I've ever managed five in a row.

Are you all at church? What's the gig?!


Church?
I am about as religious a a bowling ball.


Adam must have started typing a reply, then realised he was late to get to the synagogue.

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

I was thinking the same. I mean a 427 is nothing to sneeze at, but there didn't seem to be anything there that was OMG worthy.
Don't get me started on the paint. Matt black! wow I've never seen that on a tough street car before. GTFO! Oh and if you're going to do it, do it Posted Image'ing properly. I don't need to see shitty spray lines thanks. A good matt paint job will probably be more expensive than a gloss job as its hard as Posted Image to get right.

Personally I liked it better in the before pic that Nik posted.

what are you doing today Nik?? oh thats right. you're stripping and painting the paddock bike.

Sig worthy.

Wot?

Missed it completely.
Through to the keeper.
Went over my head.
Never saw it.

Cute.
