Hello Folks,
Have I been neglecting you all this time. Well, I hope not, for those who follow the twitter feed will know that I am still alive and online.
Well, lets get caught up shall we.
In the news of George, we have been having a rough time at work. Working too much and not allowing for much we time, and having the people get on nerves. We think this will have to change in the coming this month because younger we are not getting :p.
Oh yes, I had the car serviced last week, what a difference new oil, oil and air filter makes; sweet.
The George plan for this week should be one day of work and hopefully the rest of it on a plane to somewhere, anywhere is fine. I have been thinking of attending Oktoberfest this year. Might as well have a drink before it is too late to have one. If anyone knows of a nice place to stay whilst there, please do drop a mail or comment; it will be greatly appreciated.
Also had a great idea for a project that can hopefully sustain itself while make a little extra cash on the side for me. Will have to roll it out completely this month, with or without the help of my partner in crime.
Well, that is all from me.
Oops, almost forgot. HAPPY Belated BIRTHDAY to my uncle, sorry I did not call you on friday. Someone else at the office also had a birthday on that day as well, Happy Belated. Hope you guys had an enjoyable day and hope you see lots more.

The ride has returned from the dead. After weeks of arguing and months of waiting, the ride is back in the yard.
Problems found:
- chipped paint on the hood.
- cracked plastic by the windscreen.
- hood requires more force to close. (was working fine before my last argument with folks!!)
We fixed the chip with the old chip-stick; the lord knows it comes in handy. The plastic, I can’t do anything about it except call and give the folks another piece of my mind.
Anywho, will wash it on the weekend and see what else is wrong. Oh yes, I need to realign the front wheels or check their air pressure, should be 42 psi. Ok folks, I am out, till the next update.

Folks, we are having second thoughts about installing the CarPC in the A4.
Will need to think about it. I installed the Centrafuse v2 and the method of adding new folders escapes me. I had to delete the config files and force it to reconfigure. It works great, though I can’t test the bluetooth stuff through Parallels, but the rest of it is kool.
Will decide over the next few wks.
Well, I am off to work. Will be there a bit late today

Sweet, the new month has arrived, now is the time for plans and taking action.
First off: The New Radio for the A4 (2007 B7). I was going to buy a factory radio for the car, but now, I will build another one, just as I did for the Jetta (Bora).
What I might be losing with this addition:
- iPod Integration
- Bluetooth Integration
- Steering Wheel Controls
- Technology Package Display
We will have to find a way to get these things working as that was the only reason I bought the car in the first place.
Second on the agenda, is the web page for the new business we are about to undertake. Some moon lighting, well more of it at least. I am still sourcing some needed components for this to fly, but it is pretty much tested and ready to go, but the nice package needs to be assembled.
Thirdly, have some more fun. We have been working non-stop, and the fun metre is currently at the zero or even minus one mark.
Well folks, let us hope this month is as great as I expect it to be.

Been at home all day, got a call from the office twice and felt mad sleepy after failing to eat the breakfast.
Now I am thinking I should start on some sort of project to get my mind off things. Unfortunately, with the current set of equipment and parts in the house, all I could come up with was another radio project. This for the A4 sitting idle in the driveway waiting on a bumper to be shipped from wherever.
This time, I think I will go all the way and have things molded from scratch for myself. Not everyone is as strict with the oem look as I am. It must look stock, so we must get the LEDs looking perfect match to that of the rest of the console.
But before that, we have to go bath and smell like people.

Yay. I got the new ride exactly one week ago and it is great.
Picture Here
It is a nice firm ride, not BMW like, but good enough. I will have to take it on the highway some day that it is clear and give it a whirl.
We will not be tinting this one. This means I will have to take extra care with the seats and have the waxed every now and then; more then than now, but you catch my drift.
Folks, now off to the mall. Got to get me some shit.

Well, we have finally come to a decision about the next ride. It seems it might be the A4 (B7). We will try to get the paper work moving along some time next week.
Here is to hoping we don’t change our minds between now and then.

Well, we have two potential candidates for the next ride, Subaru Legacy (2005 Design) or the Audi A4 (B7). Both are old designs and/or chassis, but we need to look at the pros and cons of between each of them.
If you guyas have a preferrence, let me know in the comments, might make the decision a bit easier.
Speed vs Slight Luxary (I mean slight). The BMW 3 Series would have them both, but a bit out of the price range at the moment.

Well, it has become offical. The car has been written off, and now belongs to the insurance company.
I’ll be travelling for a while while I decide on what my new ride will be, if any.
It was a nice run. My baby had the ability for mad customizations. Will have to look for another one that could do the same, and also be able to stand the test of time in terms of good looks.
Here is to good shopping.

Boy, like this car jinx.
I think, pictures speak a thousand words, so head over to the gallery and see for yourself.
Folks, I am thinking it is time for a new ride. The ICE has been removed, and now sits on my desk at home, with the rest of shit in a box.
Over the next few weeks, we have to sort things out with the insurance folks, then look for a new ride.
