Shinny new bling for my Mustang

Gotta be done really. I got some big mags custom made (standard shape just custom measurements) for my mustang. All thats left to do now is finish the mustang lol.

This all stemmed from me winning an online competition for a set of new tyres from Bridgestone. They basically said any size you want! so bigger is better right? Which meant that I just had to get some mags to wrap in the new rubber.

 

Me badly needing a haircut and holding 18×9 deep dished baby.

 

I have done a fair bit more since this photo, but it was the last time it was out of the garage for a full photo. 

If your building a ride please share. Nice to know if Im not the only car freak out there in Flex/Flash land. 

Why my teeth grew sideways

Heck I dont know… maybe I was dropped on my head when I was young lol, or maybe I drank to much at University LMAO.

 

I recieved my xrays from the dentist the other day and thought I would share. From the picture above you can see my wisdom teeth on the bottom becoming "Impacted" into the other teeth. Aparently this is bad and I got an infection and some pain. The next week I was having them cut out. Interesting to note the surgeon said I have a boxers jaw, "solid as a rock to cut".

So they had to cut away the Jaw above the teeth then cut the teeth to get them out. I also didnt know that you have a tunnel through your lower jaw on each side that all your nerves run through.  While he was there I asked him to get the top ones out as they didnt server any real purpose.

So now I have no wisdom and am selling pure Ivory to the highest bidder to save for a Flex License for my upcoming mac laptop (why aren't they cross platform?) 

Note too; no fillings. Thanks to my dad for giving me fluoride tablets in my morning Milo's (drinking chocolate in New Zealand) when I was a kid. Aren't Dads great.

Great news posted by Ryan Stewart on ZDNet. All I can say is excellent, High Def video on the web. Now all we need is decent internet networks here in NZ to support it.
