« on: 05 January 2016, 12:30:03 »

Had a good win playing cards at the weekend, favourite restaurant booked for Saturday evening, thought rather than fritter the rest of it away I'd get something to show for it, the front tyres on the Merc are virtually new Continentals contisport 5  the rear contisport 3 down to 4mm as I usually change them at 3mm anyway I decided to put a pair on .The 2.6 always had Michelin Primacy last time I had 2 of them the cost was £331.29 so expected the Merc to be a bit more being bigger at  235/17s ,pleasant surprise at £231.62 all in , so enough left for a new bit of clobber as well having lost 3 stone at weight watchers wifey says my present attire looks a bit on the large size now, new image for the new year eh fellas !!

Usually have a few games around Xmas, up to now I have always lost just lucky this time a few drinks & we all got carried away ended up almost £600 up, when the wife retires in a couple of years & gets her lump sum we have promised ourselves a trip to Vegas , we both enjoy gambling but are strict with limits to avoid any problems, a few years back a colleague at work ended his trip to Vegas £16000 up ..
