That sad thing is just noticed the color I picked for the drive resin is the same as the carpet.

Honestly grey is frikkin everywhere in my house now, gotta sort that crap out. Grey drive, grey door, grey carpets, black white and grey wallpapers, grey sofas, grey bathroom, grey sensible car.

After the drive is in think im gonna make a new rule. No more grey things in the house, or outside... just no grey.

When you say the drive is getting done. It looks fine? It's flat? The public footpath has the angle or am I mistaken here?

Both are angled, the drive declines towards the house and the footpath ascends to the top of the drive, one or the other would be fine if the other was flat, but together with the relatively long wheelbase and low clearance on the AV makes it a teeth sucker going over, so will be dropping the footpath top by an inch or two and raising the bottom of the drive and inch and hopefully alltogether makes it a lot flatter and easier to get on and off.

I am more disgusted by the fence panels. Poor things haven't seen an ounce of paint on them in their entire lives :p Needs a little bit of Cuprinol tbh.

Since you have done well from crypto, would love to know what are your thoughts on NFT? Do you think it will crash soon?

I cant really say if im honest, the whole NFT "thing" baffles me, at least in the way its being popularized. I see a very valid use case for it when it comes to code ownership, but cant see if this is just part of the bubble fad or will it grow into more?
 
Result!!!

Popped to my local tyre guy yesterday to get the MPS4S ordered, none of the local suppliers have stock in the rear sizes (surprise surprise!) and the one that did wanted 720 each for them.

Left it with my guy and hes just come back with a price.

355/25/21 for £375 fully fitted.
255/30/20 for £210 fully fitted.

The only downside is the rears to get them at that price are an 8-10 week lead time.

So MPS4S are now on order :)

I've got exactly the same setup. Can't get my car on the drive without bottoming out. For ages I used a few sheets of rubber matting to create a bump which lifted the rear wheels, but it was still a PITA, so now I leave mine parked on the road. I keep meaning to get someone to look at the drive, but the only real solution is to lower the gradient...which means lowering the footpath...which means getting the council in to assess it before even getting quotes from driveway companies. Anyway, I'll stop detracting from the main thread content with boring discussions over driveway construction and approach angles now :p

I just rang the council up and told them I was doing it. They just said as long as its put back to a high standard they dont care.

Hope you parked it defensively, no way that car is fitting in a regular bay, I always look for an end bay and then park slightly over the edge so the car next to me has a good 4-6ft to open their doors.

Just parked at the far end taking 2 spots up :D

I’m sorry to inform you that you’re going to need to upgrade your supermarket as well as your house. Morrison’s just won’t suffice I’m afraid. ;)

Went to aldi after.
 
So today the V5 and second key both turned up.

Which means I get to open the previously mentioned box :D

Inside, 2 custom plates for an aventador.

i.php


Alongside some cardboard alignment templates, manual on how to attach them (lol) certificate of authenticity and a legality card.

All very nice, worth the price? Not... really... but they are shaped and suit the car.


So, V25 BON is back in action :D

First, the booty shot.

i.php



Went for this shape as I like how the angular black section compliments the rear vents.


The front...

i.php



Im not convinced yet to be honest. Hopefully it grows on me in a few days.
 
Yea, I think the issue is, the shaped nature of the plate on the front angle of the car is creating some double optical illusion where the intended effect is being lost.

Might grab one of the square plates out the bin and see how it looks with a square front plate instead but bent to match.
 
I could always go move into my 4 bedroom, 2 driveway double garage rental house instead, but, why? Its an absolute cash cow right now. My bills would double and my rental income would half if I swapped them around.

The only thing I am looking for at the moment is land for sale in the local area to do a custom build, but again the house wouldnt be massive, it would be just for more land to have a nice garage/forecourt area and a large section for a couple of ponds and nice garden to chill in.

Legitimately have no need or desire for an 18 bedroom mansion. If anything it would be smaller but more economically friendly.
 
Decided to have a drive out today for "essential journey reasons".

Thumped through a tank of fuel in around an an hour to an hour and a half-ish :eek:.
