    Here's a fun one. Edit: Oh, I just thought of another one. Not exactly rare around here, quite common in fact. Enough so that they kinda become background noise. But I don't think I've seen them much anywhere else. Posted at many bridges in western Germany, these indicate the single/two...

    The "i made dis" thread

    Thanks! Like everything it just takes practice. I've been doing this on and off for over 10 years, and more consistently as one of my main hobbies the last three years. Though it certainly doesn't have to take that long to get to a proficient level. These days there's tons of great YouTube...

    The "i made dis" thread

    I paint miniatures for tabletop games as a creative outlet. Here's one of my most recent projects where I just wanted to have some fun with the colors I used. And here's something from a little while ago, custom designed and 3D printed (through HeroForge.com) minis. They're characters of a...

    Roadtrip 2022: Czechia Self Before You Rakija Self

    It looks a lot less dramatic in the clip than it felt in the car. Definitely a "some poo came out!" moment. :LOL: I'm also too lazy to sort through my pile of photos and post them here, so I'll just drop a link to my GPhotos album here. https://photos.app.goo.gl/SVJ4vBqx1ZMrTeRi8

    Ownership Verified: Premature Midlife Crisis - shad's Mustang GT

    Dammit. During the post-roadtrip wash I discovered a paint chip behind the driver's door. Will see if I can get that taken care of together with one on the trunk and then maybe look into some protective film...

    Ownership Verified: Premature Midlife Crisis - shad's Mustang GT

    Roadtrip 2022 happened and I finally got a chance to stretch the Mustang's legs and do what I bought it for. In the span of 10 days I more than doubled the km on the car, cracking the 5k mark. It was awesome, the car delivered everything I wanted it to and I am very happy with my decision...

    Tuning Fork in the Brain - shad's XT600

    With the help of Danrom (and his dad's car) off it goes to the mechanic. Feels good to finally take care of an issue that's been sitting around for years.

    Ownership Verified: Premature Midlife Crisis - shad's Mustang GT

    First noteworthy update, I just had the rear windows tinted. Mostly because the rear window is a giant greenhouse, but it doesn't hurt the look either. Especially with the black rims. Didn't want it too dark so I could still see out the back, so I went with an 85% tint. Looks very dark...

    I was bored so I did a quick photoshop of what I would've liked the "cyan storm" color on the MT 07 to be / how I'd want to get it wrapped.

    Ownership Verified: Premature Midlife Crisis - shad's Mustang GT

    I'm gonna see what it's like in the summer with the giant greenhouse of a rear window, I might want to get that tinted just for heat reasons. And then I might as well do the rear side windows too at that point. Side note: I recently reactivated my old spritmonitor account, I had forgotten how...

    Ownership Verified: Premature Midlife Crisis - shad's Mustang GT

    I think a paint like this with a lot of really deep, glossy reflectiveness harmonizes perfectly with the styling details of the Mustang. In the light you get these really intense color variations e.g. above and below the creases in the door. That's one of the main reasons I decided against...

    Some pictures from my Sunday drive today. The more I see the color in the sun the more I love it.

    The Positivity Thread aka "Today was a great day because....."

    Weather is great, I went out this morning for a 175 km cruise through the nearby hills with the Mustang, then ate some gyro with my brother on his balcony in the sun and after that did a ~30 km bicycle ride. What a thoroughly pleasant Sunday. :giggle:

    Yeah, I guess the car dealership next to their old place expanded and they had to move out and this was the best they could find? Because I can't imagine business was so bad they had to downsize to a worse location. It's definitely less convenient, but I just checked, the nearest subway stop is...

    I rode a bike again for the first time in (I think) 6 years! It was 10 meters out of the garage and back in, but still... As I mentioned elsewhere, a friend has given me the moto bug again. So after watching tons of F9 and revzilla videos on yt I decided to finally get the XT repaired at a...

    Ownership Verified: 1995 Jaguar XJR manual

    Looks really good from the photo. Did you take the tires off the wheel before spraying or just mask the tire off?
