I had a front drivers side brake calliper failure this week on my Audi, needed new calliper, set of front pads and a flexi hose. Not the best start to the week either lol.
Got a tip for us?

Excellent job!
Those are pricey, $70 for a 25" which I would need 😱 Wish I knew how to soldering
Well they needed doing, especially with winter coming. It just got through its first MOT, but literally measured 1.6mm.
At least the fronts and brakes have plenty of meat on them.
A hand made and made to order pair of Ernest Wright scissors, made in Sheffield which I ordered a few months ago and collected from their factory yesterday..
Not easily. The 20” rims are narrow. But wider than the i3. This has improved the ride (as well as some other suspension changes BMW did). Putting wider wheels would increase drag and reduce range.
I’m fairly sure they were the original tyres. So if I get three years out of them it’s not too bad.
Well, anything of that sort from BMW is going to be expensive, sometimes wildly so.
Safet travels with your new tyres.
Ooooh.
Gorgeous.
Well wear.
I can't unsee your face now...
Some glasses
Ordered today. I chose HOYA LENS Advanced Light Protection to have the anti-blue light treatment inside and avoid blue reflections. I hope i will look smarter!

Was thinking about this:

Very nice. Hope you manage to find those extra 2.3s a day you'll need
Seriously - you've taken delivery of all the car you'll ever need 
Finally tried out my Chord Mojo2 DAC/Amp (recently purchased). This little, battery operated DAC/Amp. even drives my Audeze LCD-2 headphones! I plan to use it mostly for travel with my Sennheiser IE 600 in ear wired headphones/Dan Clark Aeon 2 Noir.
The Mojo2 can also be used as a desktop headphone DAC/Amp. with a computer. The Chord2 has certainly captured my heart!
PS I this very mobile rig even works with high rez music from Quobuz music service.

Chang Wang mini-pc (ordered direct from China, via cwwk dot net).
Alder Lake i3-n305 (8-core Gracemont 'Efficiency'; 8-thread) CPU.
Four Intel i226-V 2.5G LAN ports.
1-channel/slot DDR5 RAM (specs state 16GB max, but 48GB Crucial register&populate, and is quite performant (if 64GB SODIMM modules existed, I would bet that they would register&populate, also)).
Dual NVME (PCIe X4/PCIe x1). I used on-shelf Inland's for initial testing, but have since moved to two SK Hynix P31 Gold gumsticks . . . 1TB + 2TB
Multiple USB portage (2.0 480Mx6, and 3.0 10000Mx2).
This will soon serve *cough* as a ProxMox headless node
Picked this up on Facebook Marketplace for $180. Didn't NEED it but too good of a deal to pass up.
Great price! Great lens! I have a good time with it on my XPro3 for street photography!Picked this up on Facebook Marketplace for $180. Didn't NEED it but too good of a deal to pass up.
loving it already. In fact I’m one of the few that really likes shooting with the 18mm F2 lens but the grinding noise while focusing gets on my nerves and I think 23mm is a nice length between that at the 27mm. This lens is sharp and silent

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro. Had to get ready for MW3!
Not trying to be a dick, just genuinely curious, is collecting scissors a thing? I've never seen that before. Honestly, I didn't even know you could get scissors hand made like that.
