Did you need to get special low profile chains. Wondering if there’s more options for my car yet.

No, the dude at the shop measured the gap with some pieces of dowel and reckons I have heaps of room for standard 16mm chains.

I bought a couple of new tyres for the front of the Ranger, opted for HT vs AT this time around as most of my driving for the next 6 months will be on tarmac to and from snow.

I had H/T-S on the previous car and they were great, although a bit noisier than the old Geosquealer G900s.  New car has H/L whatever the hell that is.

Sick looking jacket and some awesome stuff you got there mate. Be careful with the goggles / helmet combo as I’ve found the EG2’s don’t really helmet compatable much.

Wow nice, DR.  What made you buy the Proto?  Did you see skip’s impressions of the board after he’d ridden a demo?

I tried everything on in the shop, helmet and goggles seem fine.  Figure the jacket would make me easy to find.

As for the board everything I have read said its an awesome all round board and I wanted something a bit uncommon

Wearing a BW hoodie makes you easy to find.

Speaking of new stuff, the 2014 3CS stuff is out, so tempting!

Finally I can post in this… my last major purchase was in September with the tampon board! Can’t wait to rebirth her this season!

Last night I bought some new dresses :D

I also developed 7 120 rolls of film from my old lomo camera! I was pretty happy with how the shots came out smile

Put together the RC glider I bought last week. Was a challenge to work out the electrics and get them functioning for a plane (they came from my heli). I had no instructions at all.

Flew a few times for testing, finally got it good, put in a new battery and had my daughter launch it. Took it up 100’ and part of the wing came off then went into a nose dive and managed to impale itself on a barb wire fence tearing the whole thing in half.

Lots of super glue later and it looks flyable again. Except one prop blade that snapped off and needs replacing.

My EG2 goggles fit fine with my helmet eh?  They seemed to go pretty good with all the helmets I tried it on with?  Today I bit the bullet and bought this for me

and for her

I tried on the Burton hails and ambushes the other day and the ambushes were by far and away more comfy for me, they might find their way into my second room soon I reckon.
