2013 – End of Year Roundup

2 Replies

This year has been one for friends, new beginnings, new projects, success and failure. But with every let down something better has come from it and that’s how we should all think. One needs to be positive and always move forward, without hesitation, and remember that good things are always on the horizon.

This year has been a bit of a blur. I sold one car and bought two new ones, changed jobs, made success with Frantik (Whitecherry) and put Death Cap on the back burner whilst that was focused on. Next year I want to take both and make them bigger and better, so watch that space.

I have continued and focused on my workout regime. You can follow my fitness microblog there if you’re interested to hear my musings….

I am also still very involved with Club 85 in Hitchin and working with social media for Rhythms of the World. Music is still something I hold close to my heart.

I can’t remember much from 2012 so  I intend to make 2014 truly special.

Peace and good health to all,

Happy New Year

New Purchase – Mazda MX-5 Eunos Roadster

Miranda says "Hello"

Say “Hello”

I’ve been looking for a project for a while, and although I talk a lot, I also walk the walk, if that makes sense. Mighty Car Mods, an Aussie based duo who have been present on YouTube for some time and are increasing in popularity rapidly, have turbocharged a Roadster already. I thought that 195bhp in something that weighs less than a tonne could be quite fun, so thought that it’s going to be the cheapest way to get some turbo fun.

My love for convertibles cars started with the MG TF, which I still have, and then proceeded to the  Audi, with the V8, which I love equally as much. But there was one thing missing – turbo!

I am also longing for that ‘boost’!

So this is going to be it – it’s a 1990 Mazda Roadster with a 1.6l DOHC 16V Engine, PAS, Air Con, and only 69000 miles on the clock. Price, £400. That’s what you get if you’re willing to be a bit gutsy with your offers…

I’m going to be updating the project page via Home Mechanic – with videos on YouTube and progress blogs here too.

Watch this space.

What’s wrong with online dating?

4 Replies

Many people seem to have a ‘thing’ about online dating, seem to think that it’s a bit of a joke… but the fact is it’s very popular and funnily enough we are in the 21st Century and if you think about it it’s a very logical idea.

This is the Internet-enabled age. We’re all using ‘i’ devices and nearly all of us are connected when on the go so it makes a lot of sense to use online dating, not necessarily instead of going out and meeting people, and socialising, but as an aid. It certainly and most probably gets you talking to people you wouldn’t necessarily meet or who are outside of your friendship groups.

Online dating growth

I, for one, have used Plenty of Fish (POF) for a while and to some success in that I was dating someone for a while … and as that is a 100% success rate for me personally, why not give it a go. I have tried other sites, but without paying for it (which I refuse to do) this is probably the best free site. Check it out at www.pof.com

Hopefully, this may change your mind about online dating. It’s certainly used by a lot more people than you think, and I wouldn’t put it past a lot of your friends to have used online dating as an alternative in the past or something they are using now. As a result of me using it, I’ve also got a few of my friends using it with success.
