Just picked up a 2015 Nissan Juke base model since my old 2000 Acura 3.2 TL blew its trannsmission...it was almost at 200,000 miles, and 15 years old.

Out with the old, in with the new! :)


Um, not sure how to make the photo NOT upside down. Ugh. Mods, can you fix?

Um, yes. Very nice car, but I had to crane my neck to get a proper view of it. Anyway, I hope you enjoy driving it, and the experience of owning it.

Ah, excellent.

Well, do, please, remember to post it in the 'Who's Got A Nice Watch Thread' when you finally take delivery of it. Actually, I am quite certain you will have several members drooling and salivating quite openly when you do.

Meanwhile, I imagine that you are awaiting delivery with bated breath; I'm sure that you will derive enormous enjoyment from it when you do finally manage to lay hands on it.

Yeah, I don't know why it uploaded upside down. Just turn your screen 180 degrees.

Effort and energy. I dislike the very thought of too much physical activity………it takes thought, and energy and effort, and is too early in the year for that.

Now, while, in order to attempt to read your post, I craned my neck, and tilted my head, but not so much that my glasses would slide on my nose, and that is quite sufficient.

However, I will not turn my computer screen 180 degrees………there are limits to what I will do to view a picture. But, it is a very nice picture, upside-down……..Besides, I am exceedingly good at reading upside down, a rather valuable and under-rated skill, I now know…..

Wow, I am surprised to see snow in Australia.

That comment reminded me of some monitors we had (I think in the early 90's when anything over about 14" was considered massive) - that you were meant to rotate 90 degrees (anti clockwise) to help work at actual size on a single A4 page. When you wanted to go back to landscape or view the doc spread you rotated it back. It was kind like using an iPad but in black and white!

Ah, happy days - I'm now off to look at some flying toasters, and probably drop a very expensive SyQuest disk!

Rollerball - boo! ;)

Looks a nice pen though in all seriousness. What else does your writing collection consist of?

I once bought a Perfect Grade Wing Zero when I was younger. You wouldn't believe how many pieces I lost. In hindsight, I should have bought the kit when I was a bit older.

Bought this jacket a couple of days ago (the black version with no hood as I couldnt find the hooded one anymore). Deceptively warm!

Guys, help a member out! Im trying to figure out what phone to go with. Im a Apple homer, and have gone from the 3, to 4, to 5 currently, and Im thinking where to go next. I was going to wait until the S6 is showcased next week to see what it looks like, but when I saw that the price would be over $1000, I said forget about it. So I think Im down to:

64gb 6+

Nexus 6

One Plus One

I see that the Nexus 6 is a great phone, and its the one Android phone that really interests me. As I said before, Ive had iPhones for a while now, and I LOVE the 6+, but TBH, the lack of ram on it really bugs me. Depending on when I receive some $$$ Im waiting for, maybe the 6s+ will be out. The One Plus One is just another option because my friend has one, loves it, and can send me an invite for one. Thoughts?

BTW...I live in Greece, so I have to buy them at full retail price, since I need one factory unlocked. If I can find a 6+ used, in mint condition, for a good price, I might just go that route.

Been loving my iPhone 6 Plus since launch. Lack of RAM? Not much of an issue that I can tell for my uses.

You know what it is...you look at the iPhone, and you see 1gb of ram, then you see other phones with quad core, and 3gb of ram. Ive seen benchmarks, and I see the iPhone in single threads is excellent, and close overall, but I guess just seeing those specs differences makes me wonder. I also dont want to make the mistake of getting a 6+, then the 6s+ comes out and is a big difference.

Kind of depends when you need the phone. Personally for me its the user experience rather than the numbers. If it works as I need it to, then thats all I worry about. I buy at launch so you get the longest ownership of the current phone, but skip the S model as I'm not made of money!

Not too sure about that. Last time I was in that thread they were talking about how bad Omega is as a brand is because its owned by the huge conglomerate that is the Swatch Group. I would have felt bad but I was too busy enjoying my Speedmaster and vintage Seamaster. I left the thread when people were giving Omega crap for not being a nice enough watch for the thread, a thread full of Fossil watches.
