Finished work early yesterday.So i took my track prepaired Fiat Coupe out for a 2 hour test drive.

I have been fetteling with it for a few weeks getting ready for a couple of track days coming up.

The sun was shinning so took to some main roads as lanes are to hard for the suspension.

Its running tip top and is now a bit of a beast running about 330hp.

It makes me happy.

Beer. Not had much to smile about lately, but now sitting by the pool, boy and Mrs C having an afternoon nap, contemplating life. It's not all that bad really, and problems are just a mere test. On my 4th pint, and the sun is still shining.

Magnificent dump...

Probably the biggest in the world. Ever.

Deep joy.
Congratulations! It's even better if you make it to the toilet first!

I knew something was amiss. Couldn't put my finger on it though, thanks....smile

Waiting at a side turning for an MPV to go past, being sneered at by the scummy looking fat bird in the passenger seat, then gaining enough speed to overtake them within half a mile of pulling out behind them.

I was out cleaning the car earlier and heard an engine noise that I can only describe as God having a bit of a shout. Curiosity having gained the better of me I popped round the corner and saw my neighbour getting out of the most beautiful 6.3 litre Mercedes SLS AMG. Nicest looking car I've seen for ages and it made my day. Turns out he's only borrowed it but all the local kids have been getting trips around the village in it. Apparently the mpg is pitiful. Poor sod.

Good to hear that.

Mine is popping out of my local pub to make a call to find a lovely old male cat that wanted to be stroked. He reminded me of my old boy, very heathy (but old) and confident. I miss Charlie frown but this old chap was very happy indeed and talking to the chap behind the bar he's not a pub cat - he just approaches cat people for a tickle!

After some research on Google maps, I've decided it's entirely possible to ride out on a motorbike to see my best mate in China.

Is it weird looking at maps (especially of foreign countries) always sets of a childish excitement / adventure vibe?

Being with a girl who has planned two things for us to do tomorrow, with no prompting from me.

First, classic car show.
Afternoon, monster truck show.

Drinking a strong coffee at 5am this morning, dog sat with me in the garden, listening to the blue tit chicks demanding food. Life's not bad at all.

First day at the beach for my 8 month old in stunning sunshine. He loved it. I loved it. Cracking day and a BBQ to follow tomorrow as well.

Even better than that, my new 156 impulse buy V6 made it there and back which i did not expect at all.

Simple one for today, good weather, roof down and a spot of VTECing.

And one for yesterday, finishing work at 12, heading upto Oulton Park and then spending the afternoon drifting an MX5 that belongs to a friend, only intended to go.out with him as passenger as I didn't want to abuse someone else's car. He made the decision for me hehe

All being well I'm taking.mine for the day next month biggrin

There's a tree in my garden full of crows. All I hear every day is their relentless cawing. Today I nailed one with my air rifle. Right through the head. I was happy about that.

Smashed my PB in the gym
My lawn is starting to look much improved after an intensive weed fighting and cutting regime
There's a couple of cardinals that have taken to my garden - which are an ace looking bird
I found a 20 dollar bill in a jacket I've not worn for a while

Great day all told!
