Cars

So... Y'all know I want a C6; it's the common sense decision within the utterly nuts range of choices I've considered AND I really like the car a lot.

Well, it's gotta do me until 2015. That's my plan. There's no reason why a 7 year old well maintained car should be any problem at all to keep running, who knows - maybe I'll break the obsession.

Either way, I've had the same private plate - A4 RTK - since I passed my test. I don't want an Audi A4 myself (I can't afford the V8 Cabriolet, and then it'd be an S4). I like having my initials on the plate and I don't like the current plate design anyway.

What if the DVLA had, say, an RTK plate appropriate to my car...

Words Make It Real Mmmmhmm. It's doable and possible, and I think it's going to happen... Not sure what I'd do with A4, probably keep it on retention or similar...

In other news - MX5's speedo works now, new radio fitted, new speakers arriving tomorrow, Delica is ready for MOT, someone already looked at the house by word of mouth. Things Are Getting Done.

Hello, sunny day!

I'm feeling perky today, another sunny day. Hopefully today will see me fit new speakers to the MX5, finish some work, and perhaps pop out this evening for photography goodness (and test drive said speakers, naturally).

I've been reading the few Whitby writeups that people posted, and I can't really come up with anything of note - because it was all so good, I'm not really sure I can put it into a story. However, what I AM looking for are Whitby pictures - specifically, one arachne took of me taking a picture of her. However, I need new icons, I think. I like my portrait as an image of me, but I'm tired of staring vaguely disapprovingly at everone I reply to.

I think I will take pictures of me using each camera, so when I do photo posts I can say which camera provided the images without saying so all the time.

Workworkwork.

I'm also doing a little musicing. I will have to pull the studio apart and move it to Birmingham ASAP, but in the meantime I played with Garageband at Whitby, and I found it very easy to understand and use. I am SURE Logic has some elements of this behaviour, but I need some sort of loop library connection to it - perhaps the ability to use Garageband loops exists in a newer version. Since I have an NFR key it may be possible for me to upgrade to the latest version of Logic. Overall when I sell the house I'm thinking "sell the G5, get an iMac/use my existing iMac and buy new software for it".

I'm very lucky. I like my life right now, apart from the stress, and I think this is going to get better and better.

I am going to go and shave in celebration so when I spend more time in the sun I don't end up with a beardmask of pale face :D

Oh, yeah, need to go to Stansted on 19th/20th May. My calendar is filling up! Yargh!
