DubMissile™

Busy ass week at work, at home and at Missile Command hence the lack of pics, but that my friends is about to change. I've nailed the print side of things now so as of this weekend I am open for business! I'm gonna be getting my girl to take some snaps of me wearing the various tees and post them all up here, update the designs menu AND you may notice I've been having a bit of a play with the awesome PayPal Labs storefront widget. This has pretty much answered ALL my worries about actually selling via the blog without it being huge pain in the ass emailing back and forth details, so, after a few tweaks this weekend the store should be fully functioning and you can hook yourself up with the first range of DubMissile threads. Once sorted I'm gonna hit the dub forums with a launch message and will hopefully get some interest. I'm also aiming to take a bag full of tees to Ultimate Dubs with me a week on Sunday so expect a pre UD heads up. There may also be some exposure...

Printed 5 designs today and they came out great!! I gave em a wash test earlier and no dramas so will post up some awesome shots tomorrow of em. Then......we have lift off my friends!! As they say, teetering on the edge of niceness!!

Ok guys and gals, I got a couple more tee designs done and dusted and have added them to the 'designs in progress' bit in the menu to the right. The 'slow & low' tee is for all you teeny lupo fans and the '2nd coming' is a lil number I've done for the mk2 heroes out there. Over the next few days I'm gonna be printing up some samples and taking some shots of them to put up on here so you can see what you'll eventually be buying. I'll update each link in the designs section as 'stuff to buy' with full details of tee sizes, colours and how you can order them very soon. I'm currently working on a military themed mk3 tee and a caddy too so watch this space kids. Niceness is just around the corner!

Ok, I've had a few meithers about people not being arsed to mooch through the blog posts to find the design work I've been doing (which is fair enough really), so I've added a 'designs in progress' section in the menu on the right. The top few designs are the basic black and whites for the DubMissile designs I'm working on getting sorted for you guys to buy and strut around in like kings and queens. Any questions email my ass: al@dubmissile.com

Right then, I'm all super excited now. The big delay for me has been figuring out the best way to print up my tees so that I can do them made to orderrather than sitting on stockpiles of tees I can't shift and end up having to charge the earth per tee. Well, last night I test printed one of my tees (the 1976 graphic) on one of my cool ass olive distressed tees and it worked out a lot better than i thought, so now I can go full steam ahead!! This also means that I can supply the tees, with sew-in labels, swing tag, pin badge and bagged for £15 (plus delivery) which is pretty damn good value if you ask me. I'll post up a pic tonight of the test tee and PLEASE let me know what you think. The sample I've made won't be available though, the olive tee is gonna have a different design on it (a military themed one), the 1976 graphic will more than likely be going on a white tee. Niceness is just around the corner!!

Well, the anaconda got an overhaul today by the mighty Chris and it aint that I'm clueless but when someone with awesome skills kicks ass in front of you, the best thing I find is just sit back and enjoy the show! I had a bit of a list for the man and he blasted his way through it in no time, oil change, filter change, new front pads, new front discs, new plugs (with no plug tool) and new leads plus a couple of other things. Now, I know I aint alone when I say this but as soon as you mention things like 'this is going really well', 'I can't believe how quick we did that' or 'should only be another half hour or so' you know you've just owned yourself. All that needed sorting was the rear discs/pads and bearings and from what we could gather, super easy. Now this would be super easy if one of your abs baskets wasn't busted or your caliper carrier bolts weren't seized and rounded, which mine were PLUS this was only found out after we'd sorte...

This post has been a long time coming actually so my apologies to the main man Mike at Subtile blog. He's taken the leap and done something awesome for us mk3 lovers and created a mk3 based community. The site is in it's infancy but when you get on there you'll see just how many memebers he's managed to rustle up in a very short space of time. The forum is well worth a visit as all the members are very cool, down to earth guys and gals with no fronts. This site is also a mega resource for us UK guys as I always love seeing what are American bretheren are up to. Sign up, log in and enjoy yourselves. mk3love
