I do like taking advantage of the beautiful weather and going for a 100 mile drive in the countryside, which served a dual purpose of letting the Wynns turbo cleaner make it's way through the system and after a few streams of smoke on acceleration the turbo noise is quieting down nicely.

You've got some stunning scenery down there mate, we don't appreciate nearly enough 😉 😎

    I do like getting the all clear from the doctor further to a cancer scare.  Still got lots of problems in my life but at least now I've (hopefully) got a lot of time to deal with them.

  • I do like finally finishing a model kit I first started 5 and a half years ago.  It's a very special model that i was supposed to finish by the time the aircraft took her final flights across the UK

That is once I remove all the dead flies from my car anyway [emoji57]

Took the family to the zoo; pre-booked "The Wild Experience" €165 for two adults & three kids with free lunch.

Get a certificate and badge at the end; dedicated zoo keeper drives you around on a petrol cart and get access to the kitchen to collect some vegetables, fish and meat before visiting each of the animals, 

The Drill Monkey was looking at me wierd, very intelligent animal, looking at my phone then my face and legs ☺️ like sussing me out proper judgemental.

@TomsFocus looks like a piggy back turbo 🤣

Now need some suggestions from you guys. Was looking at getting some plates. Now I saw these 3d gelled plates. Recently also came across these 4D lazer cut gel plates. Just wanted to ask what one do you like more? I just ordered one but kinda doubting it now and I don't think I can get a refund 😬

3D gel

@zain611 I think the 4D is slightly more prominent over the 3D.

Saw a set of 3D printed plates the day in the flesh and am tempted to get some (or 4D) :smile:.

I've seen plenty of 4D laser cut but not 4D gel before...they look pretty cool though.  Is it gel on top of the laser cut letters?  

You won't be able to get a refund on plates if they've already been made though so just stick with them.  :smile:

That's the thing I like. What gets me is how it stands out more but the edges have that 3D gelled looked. If you are thinking of getting 3d gelled plates search up full house customs on insta. He says he's the UKs leading plate supplier (I never trust statements like that) however the quality looks nice along with the HD plates which have a nice sparkle to it.

I just messaged the guy and yes he did say its 4d figure with the gel on top. Does look good. I'm able to get a refund but wondering if I should 🤔

I'd say go for it then, you'll be at the top of the scene before they get common like 3D gel are now! :biggrin:  

 

I do like seeing lots of butterflies in my garden today. They are such beautiful creatures and very colourful.

Should I or not 🙈. Its hard. I just said to the plate company if its possible to get a refund. They replied they'll give me one but I just said keep the order and don't give a refund. 

Here's a picture they sent me. 4d against the 4d with the gel on top.

I've not seen many this far north but we saw a lot when we were away last week. This was taken in Helmsdale.

@TomsFocus decided to keep the current order. Just messaged how long they expect to make my plates and they said latest Tuesday. 

I do like playing my Jim Croce LP!  You don't get music like that these days :music:

In addition to the above I do like completing my Sunday with a couple of cheese burgers (in albeit squashed brioche buns!) and a Southern Comfort...  I do thank God for these good days when I'm feeling not to bad and can see the positives in life.  Days like this are quite rare for me.

I like driving around a Transit Connect this weekend, quite a decent steer although it is truly poverty spec with no AC!

Those connects really are poverty!  Probably got manual windows as well? 😮

I love Brioche baps, 

Some Helmens Seriously Good mayonnaise would go nicely with those too.

I'm hating it without the AC 😩. At least it's not as hot as before.

You need to tell me your recipy 🤤

@Lenny my favourite or preferred order is brioche bun, hellmans mayo, burger, cheese, fried onions (found more delicious to add a dolop of butter whilst frying them and not to cook till too brown), ketchup then bun. Do like lightly toasting the buns. Might try putting pickle in as there's a jar of it in the fridge.

Should be a slot in the door for storing a cordless drill which would operate the window using the drill 🤣
