It starts now, fuck it!

Well then, what a totally utterly shite start to my birthday month. I've had the'kin virus from hell resulting in all plans being shelved - hmmmmmm! Loads to catch up on! This weekend I've just got back on the bike to start getting some miles in and realised that it's only 6 months until the start of my local cyclocross series-bollocks! I didn't manage 8 races this season but if I had, I would have placed low 30ties based on times and results, as it is I placed 40ties out of 90 plus riders. Not bad for general riding. I've learned what I have to do to improve and my goal for this seasons is 20ties. Thinks it's doable, at least I've lost the weight following the virus!! So am going to put some specific training in from this weekend and see where it gets me. Will share some baseline stats to see if I can see some improvements to help motivate!

As for the 5, thinks it's a really good example of an early (1992) mk1. Went out for a meal at a local Italian which required a hoon along local moor roads. Think I am changing my mind about NA and will go for the chavvy turbo option, not sure, could change my mind again. Jobs done so far:

Remove hard top-surprise, soft top has a glass window!

Hard wired in iPod

New mk2 sport wheels fitted

Proper internal/external clean

Pictures from evening run for Italian:

Food and company great! Mmmmm.

Home safe after food and fast fun!

So, car is going to be a laugh this summer and I'm going to put some effort into being competitive this season with the cycling. Also, going to keep up the swimming, more for the mind than the body, seems to clear my head before work. So plenty to look forward to!

Music, I'm going to see KingKing in May and the MLB beginning of next month. My own playing has stagnated a bit, just getting better at playing the same shit but am looking to Jimi and Stevie for some inspiration this month. Speaking of inspiration, my friend sent me this pic, couldn't agree more! Have met the main man and he is a really great guy, it pays to meet your heroes, they can inspire you
as much in real life.

Well said!

Miata, MX5, Eunos.....

Who gives a ....... The only question should be, 'Is it a na, nb or nc?' And , the only answer is Mk1. Just picked up my new import from Japan, thanks Ant, Dan and Steve, and what a cracker it is!! Fab, fab, fewkin fab. Because it's had a total rebuild in Japan, I'm going to drive it a few months before I decide what to do with it. Def natural aspirated probably head skim, ecu and throttle bodies poss reground cams! Soooooooo excited!

Here are a couple of important pics, remember this car is now 22 years old.

Christmas Sex

Is it really any better? Does it live up to expectations? From what I've witnessed, much is promised and talked about, but so little actually happens. Trees, lights, unusual changes to sensibilities and weird dressing up (clothes that would never be considered at any other time) all suggest either cozy romance or wild care free liaisons are up for grabs. My experience of being around many couples this Christmas, and my attendance at more parties, confirmed that most of us eat too much, drink too much, spend too much and end up squabbling too much to be in any fit state for superb seasonal sex. I seriously think it's as big a myth as that of Santa taking all night to empty his sack!

So, in terms of intimacy and private moments, what does improve? For one, the quality of farting improves! The acceptance of it, the volume of it and of course the carefully nurtured aroma consisting of a rare combination of food types that are only present in the human stomach during the festive season. I have witnessed some truly epic farting this year ranging from one example that scared (scarred even!) my friends boxer dog and another that consisted of three parts which ended in a whistle. I thought all was going well with her and things looked promising until she accidentally let rip with the most awesome example of air biscuiting I've ever witnessed. I think I liked her even more, but she left the party very quickly after, in a waft of hastily applied number 5.

And, speaking about the number 5 I've found that although good Christmas sex is rare, Christmas lusting is alive and well! Why the number 5? I'm lusting after Mk 1 MX5s again, oh shit!!!
