The hot tub at my holiday apartment isn't quite hot enough but the weather is too hot and the trails are too dusty.
My shiny new frame and Bos suspension is taking slightly longer than expected to turn up, I'm also worried my wheels will clash with said frame.

If I go ahead and have this bloody great 2 story extension built on the front of my house I won't be able to fit our 2 cars, van and caravan on the front any more. Big house, small plot bah!
My battery is about to die... Can't decide whether to plug in now, or risk the wait until bed time.
I can't decide between the M Sport spec in estoril blue or save 2.5k and go for the SE spec in Mineral Grey with the more sensible 17" wheels ๐
