  1. ok, so this i hope may act as encouragement for others who, like me up to a couple of weeks ago, manage to psyche themselves out of tying their laces and going for a run. But also as a way for me to track progress made. so, a quick bio.... im nearly 37, weigh about 68-70kg, im 5' 6(.5)" tall. i have always hated running with a total and complete passion. in school i would get cramps after a half lap of a track, and feel like being sick after 2. but, at 16/17 i still couldnt run, i weighed about 55-58kg and according to the funky scales in the gym i had 6% body fat. i would happily stomp my way up a mountain at at a half jog and not be out of breathe at the top, or throw me in a swimming pool id go non stop for 7km until i need a pee. then... college happened. then workin full time happened. all the gyming, martial arts training and swimming fell away. i never got fat, though i gained weight ( not much mind) eventually about 8 yrs ago i went back to the gym. i never really made mych progress, there no target that i could say i want to hit which meant i struggled. i then went HIIT circuit training, in a small group class, in a gym thats in the upstairs of a pub - rough and a bit industrial i love it, with guy who is a complete headcase of fitness. the group made the difference, i stuck it out and pushed myself in every session, could only manage 1 night a week, but it made a difference i gained muscle mass, and fitness over 3 yrs that i never managed on my own. roll on to 2019.. work was ridiculous in terms of nights - i wasnt sleeping or eating properly, i was exhausted to the point of being unwell by christmas. i had to stop training, and over christmas gave up caffeine due to withdrawals and sensitivity having developed. i was also convinced (anyone who gives up caffeine may understand the panic/paranoia) that i had a heart issue as i felt so crap. git the all clear end of Jan, just before spud jr arrived. then my wife was unwell (still is) then lock down. and now we are here. im gone awfully unfit, still not sleeping and not exercising.... a new post will explain my change shortly, have to get sorted for bed now.
  2. im ordering some tint for the rear windows of the octy, to try and keep the sun off spud jr and sr coming into the better weather. But as ive done this previoisly, im really not sure how tinted to go.. is 35% enough, or would 20% be better? spud sr is still gona want to see out...
  3. Had car serviced, but my indy mech forgot to reset the service/insp indicator. So, how the heck do i reset it? Or does it need VCDS?
  4. So, between my own car imploding, work being a tad manic, and whole load of other ****e going on... i forgot to play the game before we left for our traditional Easter Holiers! So.... treviso, Italy. Interrent via autoeurope. 500L or Similar... What could it be??? I picked it up an hour ago, so guesses quick please... Ill reveal at 2100hrs GMT 2200hes local.
