The 'Look, I just bought' thread

[morpwr]

I think you should go look for a four leaf clover just in case. Lady luck doesn't seem to shine upon you it seems.

Im going looking for the whole rabbit forget the foot.

Well, it doesn't make any noise to assemble it. So you could attempt a build on the 1st, or just try to drink a little less on the 31st in the first place.

Now what fun would that be....

Sorry I'm late, what's the emergency?

Will you wrap it for Christmas like this kitty got wrapped?

Now what fun would that be....

A hell of a lot of fun if you value sim racing above a beverage.

Theres not a chance in hell my cat would let me do that.


Good point. I don't know how the old drivers used to race hungover. That had to be brutal. Getting an IV because they didn't feel well my ass.lol

Just picked up this display cabinet from Lidl, gives me chance to get out all those toy cars and actually enjoy them rather than have them out of sight in boxes. It was a bit bright white, so I gave it a coat of Olive Drab, much more easy on the eye and a perfect colour for the man cave.

Ha! Drinking less isn't an option for me anymore. The older I get the more the gap widens between my tolerance and stamina and my ability to recuperate...LOL

From what I remember about the rig assembly, though, being hungover would have been absolutely tragic. Everything would have been eyeballed instead of measured, nothing would have been even or straight...LOL. Not to mention, it gets heavier and heavier as you put it together. Oh, the headache I'd have had...LOL

Luckily, I bought the rig a few months back when I moved. It's just accessories on the way--monitor mount, rubber feet, keyboard and mouse plates, etc...

For your information... I eyeballed it all too and I did fine. Okay, except maybe the wheel mount uprights and the chair as I wanted to make sure both were on there straight. The rest is easy to eyeball though without worries.
Also about the weight... I can't stress enough how glad I was I bought the caster. I could just twirl it around without worrying about my back. LOL

Be glad to know you don't need to build the entire rig though. I am sure you can handle the accessoires when doing it at your own pace that day. At least the keyboard and mouse should be doable, even if you're drunk.

Same... I eyeballed everything except the wheel deck and the seat alignment with the wheel. But then a couple months later, broke down and measured everything out. Turned out, I was only off by millimeters, maybe a full centimeter in one spot, but I was definitely surprised at how accurate it was.

Don't you start to tickle my OCD now and make me start to second guess my carpenters eye. Or at least we Dutch call it a carpenters eye if you are good at eyeballing measurements and see if something is straight or crooked.
