mercury_in_flames Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 (edited) I've seen this thread at another certain forum, and it was semi interesting just to see what people were spending their money on (not bagels, coffee etc), whether it be new audio gear, photography gear, engine parts etc. Well i bought this lense a week or two ago on ebay, the buyer wanted a cheque so it took a bit longer, but sent it via specia delivery although i wasnt home, and the oaf forgot to leave the card to tell me he had attempted to deliver it. Anyway, I got it this morning, worth every penny. It was 46 pounds plus 10 for delivery. I bid a bit late so in the end im just glad i got it. It really is in mint condition http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...52684%26fvi%3D1Try to keep it to things costing more than 40 dollars or 20 quid Edited November 9, 2005 by GregTheRotter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodle Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 (edited) I wonder which 'other forum' that would be? Any way, I bought some pretty coloured rubber bands yesterday, so I could attach my remote control to the side of my NW-HD5. I have a blue silicone skin for it, and the blue band works great! Pretty exciting, eh? and only cost 99p for a big bag Edited November 9, 2005 by Poodle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blu Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Hey hey Greg,I bought a coffee on my way to work this morning, haha! I'm lucky as I can't get the coffee-time-management-situation under control as I'm getting ready for work...so at 6:30 am I simply go through the drive-through coffee shop down the street and can drink most of it on the drive to work, lol.Okay, in all seriousness, as much as consumerism is cool, I'm going to branch out and say that I did another beach clean-up this past weekend. And once I was done cleaning up the crap on the shore I immediately went out on a mission to purchase the movie: American Movie, one of my all-time favorites. I owned it before but somehow lost it in a loan to a friend?/or, simply lost it. Anyways, great film...Best,blu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blu Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hey Greg,Here's the official site, click on the synopsis at the bottom... American Movie Oh, and I havn't seen The Constant Gardner...any good?Recently though, I've not had much time to go to the theater to watch a movie but will probably see the new one out with Jennifer Aniston and Clive Owens. Have you seen her movie The Good Girl by chance? That one is excellent and totally worth a rent. I also really appreciate Clive Owen but have only seen him in Closer...another excellent movie.Best,blu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDX-400 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Hmm not really a just bought more like a couple weeks ago, but kind of inline with the "exam" mention above (but a lot more expensive)$325 in Ontario Law school application fees ($175 + $75 per school) Application for 2006 entry.plus ~$140 in LSAT registration fees. School, even when trying to get in, definitely ain't cheap!Anyway someone wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 (edited) Wow, them's some expensive hoses! Are those just silicone replacements for the factory rad/heater hoses? Yeh OEM style replacements, they're pretty insane; the Temp specs are most impressive. Effectively the car (engine) could go 'complete meltdown' and these hoses would survive! Not to worry, Samco has the experience and R&D in F1. All Samco Sport hoses are manufactured by hand using steel or aluminium mandrels. The mandrels represent the inside shape of the hose. It is because we have to manufacture the mandrels first (and they are expensive) that we cannot make one-off hoses economically.[ oh, MDX -- Good Luck! ] Edited November 17, 2005 by Jacques Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streaml1ne Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Nice, I could use a set of those hoses for my RX7. Hose clamps or something come in the box or are you reusing OEM hardware?Shipping out the irons from my motor for machining in a few days. Tack on another $500 to the engine rebuild cost.

Jacques Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Nice, I could use a set of those hoses for my RX7. Hose clamps or something come in the box or are you reusing OEM hardware?Which RX do you have? FB or FC3S? Had to get all new clamps as well (worm drive). Samco does not recommend the 'perforated' ones. These below are really nice! Electro Zinc Coated Clamp with rolled edges. Clamping Range: 1.25" (32mm) to 1.75" (44mm) Very high quality, made in Sweden. Excellent clamping force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streaml1ne Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 FC3S. I see they have the turbo coolant hoses which should work just fine on the non-turbo. I'm pretty sure they're routed the same way in the engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was impressed with the actress who was also in the mummy, and plays ralph fynes wife. The mummy was a bad film i.m.o just because it was silly. So yeah, worth a watch. Speaking of conspiracry films, have you seen 'the manchurian candidate' with denzel washington? That was very good.I picked up some CDs and a DVD."Bryter Layter" and "Pink Moon" by Nick DrakeAnd "Almost Famous"I remember that film, Almost Famous, pretty good.Getting paid on the 24th, so might be on the lookout for some new gear, although I really must try and save to start learning to drive.

tartan Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 paid way too much for a display jet that had limited edition colors at a well known city hobby shop after not looking looking at display jets in a long timeand got ripped off big time last week by being sold a tiny burger when it was expected to be much bigger, what a rip off, every time on passing that shop, must scream rip off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!, even worse than that 2 tiered pricing of soft drinks (that small bottle is more expensive than the much bigger bottle around the corner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
