This shouldn't be here in the first place.....





















These extra air valves cover were here for a simple reason.....
When the tire change occurred last week, the air valves were to be changed but I simply totally forgot.....
So today the front left air valve failed on me and I ended up changing all four.....



















Check out the shrimplets.....

Pictures tells a thousands words.....

What is it gonna be.....

What will tomorrow make of me.....

Hipari wanted but sanity prevailed.....

The front was running 225/45/17 on 8.5JJ and rear was 255/40/17 on 9.5JJ......
Initially I was toying with the idea of 205/50/17 on the front with 225/50/17 on the rear.....
But the car is already made low by the kits and finally decide to go with 215/45/17 front and 235/45/17 rear.....
This is the front.....




















This would be the rear.....





















And some more on the rear.....

Someone pictured my ride in facebook.....

Well, since I didn't post any decent pics, I suppose these will do.....
Thanks a lot to my colleague who took it whom I shall not name.....

Reality bites.....

The first pinch of reality hits me today that not all is rosy.....
The brake switch failed causing the brake lights to go on without me noticing it.....
In the end the battery ran flat and I couldn't start the car.....
A quick jumpstart solved it but like I said all is not rosy.....




















By the way, the above is not my car.....hehehehehe.....
Still I'm glad there is light at the end of the tunnel.....

I held the bull by its horn and the rest; I hope is history in the making.....

As the title suggested; I held the bull by its horn and the rest; I hope is history in the making.....
After more than a decade of talking about it.....

Shrimplets here and there.....

Well, finally.....shrimplets and I can say I have waited for ages for them.....

There's one beside the rock.....this is around 2~3mm





















This is a slightly bigger.....in fact quite big.....5mm at least





















Look somewhere near the fissiden.....another small one.....





















Look closely and you will find one among the fissiden yet again.....





















This one is an adventurous lad.....scaling the peaks.....





















And finally an overview of how the tank is right now.....
