What Made You Feel Good Today

[Mrs Jeturbo]

Got up at 6 this morning

Staying in the hunter for work conference

Beautiful sunrise

Well kids, the line up for the revamped Top Gear 3.0 has been officially officially announced, so here goes:

 

Chris Evans

Rory Reid

Chris Harris

Eddie Jordan

Sabine Schmitz

Matt LeBlanc

The Stig

 

No real word yet on the capacities of each host, but it's literally doubling up in relation to the former three-host setup employed. I guess they're attempting to make this more accessible to more demographics, by way of age, race, sex, etc - to quote Evans: “We really do have a bit of everything for everyone."

free breakfast (yesterday)

[SuckSqueezeBangBlow]

here is my 'new' volvo.

its a 2008 V50 T5 AWD. 169w and yep feels that slow, and the steering is like an arcade machine...

But I really like it though, especially at $10,300.   Someone spent >$58k on this when new!?

The seats are way, way comfy.  16 hours driving it back from Adelaide and felt like I could do another 16 hours.

On the way home through the "Hay Plains".

Last week I got some new tyres.

Yesterday I did the front and rear diffs, slotted 320mm front rotors and slotted rear rotors, spark plugs, k&n filter

I've got a Haldex filter and oil, and some Motul HF in the mail.  Then I'm going to sit back and wait and see what this eurotrash wagon is going to cost to maintain.  hopefully nothing major will break.  Not worried about the motor, they are pretty tough.  Transmission was rebuilt about 40k ago, I think only because 20k prior it was serviced with the wrong oil and the tranny "specialist" prolly thought "yeah mate, these things always sh*t trannys" as its a known problem up to 2003-4.  

flame suit is on, tell me I'm a f*cking idiot for buying something like this.  I hope you're wrong though.

forum poo poo

[SuckSqueezeBangBlow]

is the image linking a forum issue?  seems to work elsewhere.

[k31th]

you can link images by using just the "IMG" part of the bbccode. The "URL" part makes it a hyperlink instead.

you can also just grab the actual URL of the image and click on 'insert other media' then 'insert image from URL'

if you're using tapatalk... meh.

[discostig]

I actually just paste in the direct link ie www. something . picture.jpg in to the reply box now and press enter

After 5 seconds it sorts it into the image.  I couldn't get the normal [ IMG ] tags to work during testing a couple weeks ago.  I'll try it now as I much prefer how it used to be.

 

If it works it will make me feel good today.

I can tell it's not going to work already.  I paste in the code and it tries to make it a link.  I can see it did the same thing to SSBB.
