RockandorRoll

I would agree with this line of thinking. Ive been wondering what to get for a fun weekend throw around car and there is nothing worth buying. A GTI TCR seemed interesting, but the niggling thought in the back of my head suggests that its still a Golf underneath. The Megane gets rave reviews, but its a 5 door wagon not much smaller than my Volvo, it serves the same basic purpose. Civic Type R is also just as big as my daily. These aren't 'pure' enough. I would need something completely different, RWD, lightweight, powerful. You can find a car with all 3, but its north of $100k I loved my compact Clio RS but on paper its pretty average. Auto transmission, non mechanical LSD, torsion beam at the back, 5 door hatch = Dull. But it was the most fun I've had in a car and that was nearly $40k 5 years ago. The Yaris will scratch the same itch for a lot of buyers. Its the absurdity of the car that is attractive, the mere fact that purists hate it will be the motivation for a lot to buy it. I bet the owners will be smiling every time a roundabout appears.

Sorry, i just meant in terms of sales numbers.

I think it hurt the I30N in a big way. They wanted to take on the GTI, they got no where near it.

Monitor Audio Silver 2. 8" in a bookshelf, pretty cool. Have box, can ship

I saw A New Hope recently topped a YouTube list for Best Western. Love that line of thinking. Watching the animated series of The Clone Wars and Rebels has given me so much more respect for the prequels. It builds Anakin much more gradually which makes his fall hit so much harder. Revenge of The Sith carries so much more weight now. The Jedi massacre, all the ones shown have names and stories. You could live without the Phantom Menace, it adds little to the overall story apart from some motivational aspects later on. The Sequel trilogy is by far the worst thing to happen to Star Wars. Its a recycled mess of stories which takes away from the lore more than it adds.

I dont pay close enough attention to the release of these things, so stupidly i just bought a 2060Super. Good to see that the PC market has stepped it up again. Consoles had closed the gap with the new PS5 and Series X, but PC has just taken another leap

A bit of Jason Isbell this morning. Good to have the TT up and running again.

Quintet Black. A subtle upgrade to the 2M Black I was using previously.

New house, new room. Still have to mount the cart on the turntable.

Ive used Bubble UpNp with mixed results. It lets you access cloud data through the app, but doesnt fix up the metadata.

I wasnt aware of how good Google Music was until it was gone. I had no idea you could upload your own library and it would catalogue everything etc. Im going to try with YTM for a bit and see how it works.

Nearly 5 year old 91 octane Volvo numbers, nice what they can do with 0.5L more displacement

Almost enough for me to consider, but that old 6 speed Aisin unit is getting a bit long in the tooth. I understand their philosophy behind its continual use, but I'd need something more responsive Im quite happy with my 8 speed and 448nm at 2250 from my 2.0L. Perfect daily driver

I'm assuming you can't ship to Adelaide?
