There are times when I miss my Bonneville. Of course, there are other times when I don't miss like when I reminded of all the times I was nearly run off the road. Maybe at some point I'll look into getting another Triumph. For now, I have to be content with riding around in this:

That's weird.....we're both called Ryan.....I used to have a Mini just like that but now have a Bonneville Scrambler.....You used to have a Bonneville and now have a Mini.....Am I schizophrenic? You'll be telling me you have a wife called Mel next.
 
Decided to go portable, so I sold my Mac Pro and got one of these:

MBP 2.53

and a 1TB version of these (total of 2.3TB storage now):

and this to read the SDHC cards my old reader ignores:

Went ahead and picked up a ZHP shift knob. 3/4" shorter than the regular knob and weighted (5.4oz). It will compliment my new shift lever and clutch overhaul project very nicely.
I figured, why not? It's one of the parts of the car that constantly comes into contact when driving.

A new Mac mini + 4 GB of RAM :)

Originally this was going to replace my aluminum Macbook since it never left my desk but after hooking up the Mini and using the Macbook as a portable for once, I think I want to keep it now. Ugh. I hate my impulse buying.

Very nice! I wish I could afford one... I can't, so I am just going to buy a G5 case and mod it for my hacintosh to fit inside :D.. Close enough.

Side note, do the 1CPU Mac pros have the socket for a 2nd cpu? Or is the logic board completely different?

Excellent choice there sir! I bought one of them for my coupe, it made it feel like I had a new gearbox, still to this day one of the best things I have bought for the Bimmer!
 
Got the WD passport on the bottom... might be time to retire one of the others though... :D
