Rescued from the bottom of the page...
Blimey, things ARE quiet around here.
JB's gone and got himself a 'proper' job, one that he actually gives a stuff about, and so he's nicely tucked up in bed by 7:30 evey day!
Killer's been quiet too of late, guess he must be back studying
fl6 has probably fallen asleep at the keyboard again in a drunken stupor. Last time he did that he ended up with a 4.2 gigabyte word document containing nothing but the letter 'f'. He's currently halfwy through printing it in order to send it to several publishers in a bid to become the next Dan Brown.
Scott will be tucked up nice and snug in bed, complete with his Superman pyjamas (Must get around to organising that summer PJ midnight run
)
Chances are Stu will by lying in a pool of Stella and pizza flavoured vomit at the side of some inner ring road, having been out on a bender and failed to get in touch with Kelly for a lift home. He'll have tried calling her several times, but only ever got through to some eastern European taxi firm, who simply want far too much money to drive up from Cirencester and take him home.
Bri and Mandy are probably locked in the spoon position, arms cradling that soft body, a wry smile on the sleeping face as the beard gently brushes against the warm sensuous nape of an inviting neck. Get a shave Mandy
Of course, some of you will be dreaming right now... Dave C will be anticipating the thrill of leaving the house on a nice, clear summer's morning and having the toughest decision in the world to make... Do I take the Scooby or the Evo?
Well, when I was lucky enough to be in that fortunate position the Evo ALWAYS came out on top.
It felt alive.
Engaging.
Communicative.
And it would go sideways on demand on any bend you cared to throw it into.
But, that was in pre-modded Scooby time.
Nowadays the decision would be just as easy, but the result would be exactly the opposite.
Thanks to some (IMHO) tasteful mods it would be the Scooby keys for which I'd be reaching.
It feels MORE alive.
More engaging.
More communicative.
And it makes a sound to die for.
Just a couple more mods to make to her over the coming months and Scotts future car will be complete.
Perfect.
The ideal beast for road and track.
The only decision then would be to sell or not to sell.
There's pressure there from Scott and Sarah
but...
It all hinges on the EvoX (and finances :rolloeyes
Anyway, I digress...
Other dreamers?
Well, Corradoboy may perhaps still be having restless nights as he dreams that his beloved and much cherished VeeDub gets driven away into the arms of a total stranger, though I'm sure Dave took every precaution to ensure that she went to a good home, can you ever be 100%?????
Al will be dreaming that he's having a celebrity dinner with fellow Black Country boys Jasper Carrott, That bloke that plays Barry in Auf Wiedersein Pet, and the Pig from Pipkins (struggling to think of any other famous Brummites)
Yatesy will be dreaming of the ULTIMATE impreza, a full-on WRC car, parked at the top of the drive, just next to Aileens TT. Gleaming in it's fluorescent yellow livery. Hang on... Is it a dream? Can anyone really tell the difference? Hmmm.... Perhaps the next mod should be a WRC bonnet and bumper? (Sorry for putting ideas into his head Aileen
)
Mick will be snuggled up tight to the lovely Jackie. Nudging her occasionally with the old LP. Dreaming that he was holding her in his arms as they walked slowly along some exotic beach just south of Skegness, Jackie leaving delicate footprints in the cool, damp sand, Mick leaving an impression large enough to accomodate a small Kosovan car wash team, complete with industrial Karcher and 3 chamois leathers.
Young Kaines right hand is probably flailing around wildly as he dreams that he's changing from 1st to 4th, then 2nd, 1st, 4th, 3rd, 1st, 4th, 2nd, 3rd, 1st, 3rd, and finallt back to 4th. Must be playing Sega rally then...
Dazza may have woken up for a pee, something which becomes an all too common activity as you reach your 40th year on the planet. He's probably feeling thirsty too, but won't be able to do anything about it, as Neeve moved the stool from the kitchen into the dining room, so he has nothing to stand on to reach the tap.
As for me? Well, I've set myself a little mission for the morning, and with a fair old chunk of lady luck the fruits of my labour may be available for the rest of you lot to have a look at later today. Fingers crossed.
I love you all.

That post is a mission in itself 
BTW, I haven't dreamed about the VW since I took delivery of the Scoob, and my more recent dreams are of having another
Good things come to those who work

Oh, whilst I've got your attention (as no-one replies to my PM's or posts these days
) did you get my PM about some sticky stuff for Blyton ? Nowt fancy, just offcuts. If you haven't got anything suitable I'll have a browse in Staples or somewhere.

Sat here twiddling me thumbs and drinking Gusto Coffee waiting for my DV Cam to charge. Bright idea for something to do this morning let down by p**s poor planning on my part.
Still hoping to have something done today though

No, not Joe 'shaddap-a-your-face' Dolce
(Do you know he was Jasper Carrott's manager?)
How many times can Jasper Carrott get a mention in one day????

What's a matta you
Gotta no respect
Whatta ya think you do
Why you looka so sad?
It's a not so bad
It's a nice-a place
A shaddappa your face
And for 3 points, which 80's classic did that piece of shoite keep from the number one position?
C'mon, use yer brain. Anyone can Google it, but you'll never have the same satisfaction as if you'd come up with the answer all on yer todd.
Cheat if you want, it means nothing to me.
(see what I've done there?
)
Christ I'm bored.
Oh. just realised. Need to install Adobe Premier, seeing as how my Pinnacle Studio is refusing to work.
Back in a padded envelope...

Bugger!!!!!
Been and got loads of nice footage on some quiet roads with a view to throwing a video together.
Got my Adobe Premier working (How much
) at last.
Lost my mini USB lead for the DV cam, and although I have a firewire connection and lead, my lappy doesn't have the necessary hole. Only thing that does is a PC which is currently in bits round at Dazza's.
Looks like the vid may have to be shelved for a couple of days.
Never mind. I can smell a wash and plish coming on.
In the meantime, here's some nutter in an Evo 8 at Blyton

Colour not important 
Sticky, did you just say Adobe
along with the phrase "How much ?"
meaning you actually paid for it
Us users of alternative computing solutions never pay for any software
EVER

Oh f**k, what have I done...
Erm...
Yes I said Adobe, but only because my Pinnacle simply refuses to even think about making the slightest hint of an impression that it might look like considering the option of potentially opening and running.
Anyhow, got everything sorted, the footage is d/l'ing to the lappy now, but there's another small problem...
When I set off it was a bit foggy, and it looks like the moisture has got into the camera...
Let's see what I can rescue and take it from there

Mac cameras invented Moisture free fog so you'd have been better buying a macamera... Macameras also never need a reboot and certainly don't fog up.. even in the North Sea... where they belong.... with their owners..

Ah, you mean the i-cam.
£4999.99 and it uses a proprietary format that simply won't work on anything else... EVER.
Still, it looks sexy as Hell
