Needed wall art for the bedroom. Figured I'd give this a try. Once completed, I'll paint it solid white and hang it over the bed.

Just picked up the new MX Master 3 by Logitech. Stunning performance when paired with my 15" MBP. It has improved my work flow tremendously. I can now switch between tabs, delete emails, page back without clicking anything in the browser. Its all controlled within the customizable mouse buttons.

I recommend for any Mac user.

They are tubeless tire read, so I'm going to give that a try. No pinch flats and a smoother ride with lower tire pressures.

Well well, its time to test a fully loaded convertible for the first time. Bought it last week, no exact pick up date caused by corona-delayed street permit, bummer. Color is the more rare Macao blue but this is no 30th years model.

That color looks great^^. Would love to see it once you have pics in the sunlight.

Interesting that the rear has been debadged (no M4 emblem).

Since everyone slaps ///M badges on everything anyway, in order to reduce the cost of manufacturing, BMW is now asking everyone to buy their own badges off ebay.

Finally went with an EVH 5150 EL34 set up (50 watts). Debated endlessly between this and the 6L6 but found someone who mods these amps and you can have both sounds so will probably go that route.

This is a tank of an amp/cabinet - great tone but way loud. Might need to get an attenuator in order to crank up the volumes to get the tubes performing optimally, but then not blow out my eardrums LOL.

Now I gotta build a pedal board (former amp was a Line6 solid state and had all the amp models and effects built in).

It's the bullshit implementation of BMW/MINI (factory) debadge option: they do it only halfway (side/fender badges if appropriate have been a different story/option) actually.

WHAT WAS THAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU.



It sure as hell isn't a bedroom amp unless you get that attenuator.

Looked at one of those years back. But at the same time a used Mesa Boogie Mark IV showed up at my guitar pushers shop in a beautiful wood cabinet and I've always been a sucker for good wood.

Will come back to you when car is delivered. The missing badge onto the rear is an order option and for me its fine.

Yes - I know. Looks like I posted this about 5 months ago - but not quite. This one has the steering wheel on the right side of the car, and will remain in England for the time being.

Agreed. Coozies are for the drink nurses. A real drinker finishes before it has time to get warm.

It's not as much about keeping your hand warm/dry as it is about keeping the blue tasties cold. I thought this was common knowledge.

I'm sure you also think wearing gloves when changing headlights is "for woman"
