Have rep, fellow Hoegaarden glass owner.

How did you break it? Did a tank run over it?!

 

Hehe nothing so glamorous, after countless drops and knocks all it took was another glass placed too vigorously inside it.

 

i just ask my local pub staff if i can buy the glass off them. got mine for £2 but hey, got to walk home drinking hoegaarden and slightly breaking the law. yay!

 

Traded in my Laguna for a Micra.

I'm one of those weirdo's who like the styling of the new Micra

Hopefully this car will prove to be more reliable!

It's an 03 in deep metallic blue. I've actually had to read the manual to figure out the keyless entry doodad - I didn't realise you had to press the button twice to unlock all the doors. I'll get a pic or two taken once I've given it a clean.

So sad to see the last of my Laguna... good car but oh so many problems. I'd probably got them all fixed but apparently it would be getting to the time when something rather expensive would go (or so I'm told). It was a bit noisy (was told it could be just a loose heatshield) and the brakes were a worry sometimes (not as sharp as I'd like tbh but it sailed through its last MOT). It's had a refurb turbo, rear bushes done, new springs all round, exhaust mended, clutch cylinder replaced and various other bits and bobs in the nearly three years I had it so if you want a fairly good Laguna head over to A46 Motors. You'll know it's mine as the mrs thinks she left a Boyzone cd in the player (it's hers, honest!) Gave it the cleaning of its life before taking it over. Sniff.

Ah well, it's for the better. I keep telling myself.

 

ViewSonic 22" 1080p LED Widescreen Monitor (VX2250WM-LED)



And thanks to my job I save 10% off of the list price. All in all about $160. Its going to accompany my samsung 22" for dual setup. I want to run it vertical, so thanks to the VESA mount I am going to have my brother fashion me a stylish wood stand that can rotate. I'll have to post the whole thing when its all done.

 

Ha! I have an 03 in deep metallic green Key less entry? Just press unlock once for drivers door entry.. press again immediately afterwards to unlock all doors.

 

VESA Mount for said Viewsonic monitor. Building one is going to be more expensive then I thought, so this should suffice nicely (it extends, rotates tilts the works). Early Christmas gifts to me!

 

I am back in the Lian Li A05n club, cheeky bid on ebay sealed the deal!

Very happy now! Can start work on what is to become the Penguin v5.0

 

Just ordered some Home Plug goodies from ebuyer, D-Link Powerline 200mbs. Sure hope they sort out my WiFi lag issues.
