Mans day home!

FIRST OF ALL: I WON IN LOTTO YESTERDAY EVENING!!!!!! but only a new coupon....

What a nice day, slept long and when i woke up I started searching google for clips on the Lamborghini LP-640, Koenigsegg CCXR Edition and some top gear clips with Simon Cowell, Lionel Richie and other guests.

After that the clock had almost hit 12:00 and I had to get out of bed in order to get the start of the V8 Bathurst race in Australia.


I made some nice Bacon, egg and sausages for myslef and added in a glass of L&P. Enjoyed my meal and decided the best way to watch the race was from the couch with a few extra pillows, so i recruited the pillows from the chairs in the living room and they got hired on the spot. Then after a few mintues of racing the worst happend, COMMERCIAL, come on they are doing 300km/h how can you think we got time for a 5 minute commercial spot ?!?!?! thats one lap!!!!
I had to bring out my innovative skills again and I went to my room to get my laptop so I could read some forums and articles in the commercial breaks. With the combination of extra pillows and my laptop for the commercials i was set and ready to go.

About the race: too much safety car, there just were too much fuss it came in with no reasons, with that said there was some good crashes and exciting duels all the way to the end! on the 2nd last lap the guy who ran 2nd ended up finding himself on 7th. so they really pushed it in the end.

The day is about to end, I had my first go on making Spaghetti Carbonara and i have to say that IM GOOD :D
Right now Im watching Wipeout which is a program similar to Tekashis Castle so its quite good entertainment :)

Thats all for tonight, Good night!

Nothing better to do, until its time to get dressed for dinner!

What a nice a quiet Saturday, I have only but also just only made my self worthy of the title "alive". I woke up late and decided the best way to wake up was to watch Harry potter on which movie serie i started yesterday. After that i went for some Lunch/breakfast. Went back to my room to read some articles online and update my profiles on xing, linkedin and facebook.

Then it was time to get into the living room and watch the qualifying for Bathurst 1000, V8 race. It was surpricingly nice. I remembered the track, have driven it in Grand Turismo or something and that just makes it more fun because you know where the cars are when the camera switch. The worst is really the damn commercials I pray for they will not ruin the race tomorrow. I know its an 8hr race so a few commercials is ok but every 15 minutes :O not sure if I will survive then its just too much.

I found that commentry down here is just as reliable as in Denmark and Germany, I dont know what they are doing but not seing a UTE V8 crashing and keep talking about history, i mean  COME ON HE FLIPPED 6 TIMES ! and later I saw the crash in the news so I guess it was only the commentators who just felt like noke keeping an eye on the track for a while.

But overall im excited for the race tomorrow, just bought some L&P today so going to try that for the first time ever, and i got myself a bit candy, so im ready to go!

Flats, cars, sunday, rain

Thats the menu for today.

I'm heading on my own today because Torsten wants to take a day like I did yesterday so i've decided to go have a look at a Car Auction in Mt. Wellington, Auckland. Looking forward to see what kind of cars its possible to buy here. According to www.trademe.co.nz its gonna be high revving 4 cylinders with no power  a old tired automatic gearbox, until they are in the hands of young chinese guys who are spicing them up with stickers saying: "Twin cam, HKS TUNING, BBS RIMS", putting some light under the car and a few speakers, with that said there are also those who are letting out the stickers and using the items from the same box as the stickers and they are making quite a exciting sound, not only the blow off going off but also some of them sounds like rally cars with their anti-turbo-lag-system which I'm not the man to ask how works. On the other side there is the low revving V8 from the states with the same amount of power as a lawnmower with the same tired auto-gearbox. Got to miss those straight six twin turbo diesels in a BMW ;).

Well I'll let you know later if i end up with either lazy one or two, but for today no purchase is planed just want to put my nose into the business to get a feel of it and learn to understand the fake names all the brands are wearing down here.
