Mmm dish

Well maybe not dish, more like a larger polished lip, but still.

I ordered new rims for the supra the other day, work VS-XX 18 x 9" 18 x 10" both with a +38 offset. Spiffy, the rims come with some japanese winter/snow tyres.. oh this is going to be interesting.

Work vs-XX 18×10 and 18×9

Picked them up at a great price thanks to Aaron over at Rampant, great bloke to deal with.

Anyone want to buy some Advan AVS super racing V 2's? 17x9.5 an 17x8 with 95% tread?

Premature…

Well Im sitting here waiting for a taxi to take me to hospital, they said they've put me on priority so it shouldn't be long.. but like helll I'm paying for an ambulance. Long and short of it is, I just had another episode with my heart (the day before I go in to hospital for my stomach.. go figure) and I passed out in the shower which is not the best move. I haven't been feeling well in that respect for days and it was startng to scare me, now it terrifies me. Every time a minor one happens they can't find it and now it happening all the time.

I hope to be home soon, wish me luck.

Matt.

Me update? never…

It's been a while since I posted here, I guess a few things have been going on about I really haven't been on the net. So to all those I seem to keep blowing off on the net, yeah I have a decent excuse (for once) :P . Though most of it is because I've been out driving alot and thats right after work, helps take my mind off of things that's for sure. Mind you having failed my comp based test today I feel so damn frustrated.. that stupid ****ing computer makes no sense, I swear I did everything right and I somehow failed. But if I want it back I have to do the test, so grr screw it, at least it wasn't wasted time I saw what I needed to see and I'll know next time (which will probably be tomorrow morning).

I've got another Endoscope and a biopsy on monday for stomach ulcers, reflux and to find out about my stomach lining, the drugs don't seem to be helping anything and all their suggestions of lifestyle changes do nothing to help me either. Puts me out of action for a day or so, add to that they can't figure out whats going on with my heart and I'm being handballed around like an afl ball (which makes the first paraghraph even more annoying).

I'd complain but it's let me get back to reading books, something I haven't really done in ages. But a freind got me back in to them by handing me a few series, a few months ago now; one book (that spawned a series) I in fact read the year it was published and I still remembered was just as good as I recalled. The present author runs along the lines of the first series I read (wizard) but the author deals with causality and humanity a great deal, though the varied degrees of cause and effect are sometimes very skewed they make their point. The collection is called "the sword of truth" series, the books are by Terry Goodkind and I do recommend them.

-There are ten books in the series (each about 700 pages)-

However the reading will have to wait, I seem to have found myself with a very cramped late august/september calendar (mind you I just missed two things this weekend past, see above),The irony being I just told them i had the flu when it was much worse and yesterday I got a cold *shakes fist at the universe* . However that should make up for the things I've missed and I haven't had the chance to go out in a few weeks now, so I'm aiming for a better weekend this time round.

If I can fix this comp test I can go out for the supra club meet on sunday and at least I know I'll enjoy myself at that. Speaking of my obsession (admitting it is the first step you know :P ), I should be ordering the new wheels finally, I'm trying to find some in japan atm. I'll be replacing the advans I presently have (super racing v2's) with Advan AVS series 6 or T6 (mmm I love those wheels) or something comparable. Plus the new dials are on the way and should match the interior nicely, so while I take that apart I'm going to get those speed sensors in too. Then it's time for the S-AFCII and a new cat back :D .

*me wieghs up the idea* bling the car up and try to pick up chicks, or deck out the engine and handling.. engine and handling. ;)

Speaking of girls, lets not go there :P .. a man can only type so much before his hands cramp up in protest and on that note.

Ciao.
