My good buddy Fletch, frontman for his killer group The Sixth Letter informed me of their new album release Whoa! Is Me and I'll be honest with you...it's fucking brilliant! Real good honest UK hip hop that is about as unaffected as you can get. The guys are all super talented without egos and are one of those bands that rock your world on CD but absolutely knock your teeth out when playing live. For me, these are the best kinds of band. Check them out all over the internets; http://www.thesixthletter.co.uk or the Facebooks http://www.Facebook.com/thesixthletter and at the mighty Twitters @thesixthletter. They also have a Big Cartel shop to buy their album from and other merch down the line. Well worth checking out and spread the word.

Right then, I've done a bit of PlastiDipping (which is more to come) so now it's time to do some more serious bits an pieces. My bodywork is shot so 2 new rear arch repair panels are need as well as 2 new wings. My brother in law has a bodyshop so it was time to pay him a little visit. He stuck me in a corner with an airline, some equipment so I was set. Front wings are ready for cleaning and priming now after a good prep and sand, rear arch panels are ready for primer and welding in after some surface rust was buzzed away (eBay cheapness to keep the build on a tight budget). Phase 2 should start later in the week, wing and panels primed and ready plus I'll be sanding down and prepping my subtly simplified rear bumper. It's definitely all on now!! Roll on #edition38

The VR rebuild keeps on moving! Next in line were my S2 rims that I'd polished then ran through a bad winter without looking after em and, well basically, they were fucked up. Then I left them in the cellar to get all oxidised and shit so were in a bad way. These rim are only 16x7 but look awesome on the VR so are the rim of choice for this summer for me, plus, noone really does them on a mk3 so will look pretty unique. Anyway here are some tricky pics showing how they were an how they look at the mo. Phase 1 is done so next step is to work into the metal to make it smooth all over so they look tidy when polished up. Heaps better than they were. So here we go.

Kinda got Into the swing of getting shit done so here are a few more snaps of things getting done. I finished up the wing mirrors today, pain in the arse opening up the door skins a bit to get em off but worth it. Also though I'd attack some I'd the rot she's developed over the past year of neglect before it takes over like on my arches. Sills started to rot a bit where the door seals join but kicking their ass with some 140 grade, Hammerite's finest (Kurust) then temp coating with PlastiDip seems to have worked wonders. Have a looky cuz there's a lot more to come over the next few weeks.

The sun has started to shine which means we got dry times to do werk. Been gathering bits and pieces over the past few months to rebuild the VR to some state of shiny awesomeness. First on the agenda is the small stuff, PlastiDip has been introduced to some body parts and it's all starting to come together. My heavily stone chipped and battered grille was first up, along with the original chrome grille badge. Gave the grille a bit of sanding and hit it hard with the Dip. Then I popped my Kamei ducts out, gave them a bit of love with the 400 and 1200 grade and some Dip. Finally the wing mirrors have taken a beating and look shit so...off, sanded and punished them with the D I P. This shit is awesome, for those not in the know, PlastiDip is a rubberised spray paint, to put it simply. My boy @flip316 put me onto it and it answered all my prayers. It looks Matt black with a textured finish and literally peels off if you ain't happy. Got a few more plans for this but for now, this i...

Here's our baby girl, Sienna. Ain't she awesome? We have a British shorthair blue colourpoint, Ollie, who lives with my mother in law. We took him to the vets for his boosters and all that jazz. The vet showed us Sienna who was taken in because her owners wanted to breed her (they're worth monies) but she didn't get along with pregnancy so they pretty much tossed her out. Heartless dicks. We gave it the full she's amazing...can't believe they chucked her...we'd have her if she can't be rehomed...etc. One thing lead to another and we came home with a boosted cat an a new baby tiger. She's amazing, a serious handful and cool as shit.

2011 has started out well for the dub side of things. Got plans, got new wings and now my bro hooked himself up with a sweet em kay fow V5. But more on this later. For now, we kick started garage club again to start building rides up and having a bud with all the gear is a serious bonus. An extra bonus is all the killer Ferraris that are in the same place. Far be it for me to snoop around someone's pride and joy but I took a few snaps of the awesomeness on display. Two in particular were a 599 GTO which, at 350k is a serious piece of kit. Second, the same dude also owned a new 458 which he added 80k of options to. Insane!! Good work man, whoever you are.

It's all about the good eats and good drinks at weekends. Had this today for the first time, one of my girl's presents and it's the most epic hot chocolate I think I've ever had. Hotel Chocolat liquid chocolate caramel stylez. Try it, you'll probably touch yourself.

Ha haaaa, totally genuine slice of awesomeness today. Had the bros and sisters round tonight for some good food, drink and chats for my amazing wife's late birthday get together type dealio and we cracked out the mega panettone I got at Christmas and the most awesome thing happened. We dusted it. We put some candles on. We did a round of happy birthday...then we cut it. Aaaand it looked like a massive cock so like grown ups we squirted a pair of creamy balls on there with chocolate star pubes and tucked in. Pure, unhinged, ferocious awesomeness. Enjoy.

Well here she is. Bit of a wreck due to a mad hectic 2010 working but little by little I've been getting hold of bits and piece to make her into an awesome machine again with sickness oozing from every hole. So the script is this. Mountney old school wheel waiting to go on. Revo 15x8s to be sorted with some yellow dishes. Stainless 6 branch is gonna get welded on cuz I can't get an adaptor plate. New wings to go on and all rust is gonna get some heavy work done with my boys at the Garage Club. Ghetto paint job using some genuine aircraft carrier paint we got. Nice. Oh, and I gotta sort out the olympic sized swimming pool in the rear footwell. WTF?! Shit loads more like but we'll see what happens. Whatever happens she should start to look like an angry shit on the roads again. Out. Do work.
