I cant believe the mixed weather we've had this week! I saw videos of the thunder storm and flooding in Newcastle yesterday, and now its boiling hot today! 
I cant keep up with it!
It hasn't put me off jogging though, been sticking to my schedule, but adding a mile here and there, just to try and speed the process of getting fit up a bit! 
I have managed to knock over 2 minutes off my 1 mile time too! which i'm really impressed with. Its a sign that I'm definitely doing the right thing. I feel better in myself too, happier!
I'm going to start sellings bits off the Audi soon, getting it put back to standard to sell. RNS-E headunit, and multifunctional steering wheel are going to get sold! and whatever else I fancy.. 

I've mentioned before how life seems to be passing me by, and I feel like I'm stuck in a bit of a rut! I want to improve myself, and I need to start this by upping my fitness. I have an 8 week schedule, which I've downloaded from the internet. I believe I will excel, from this though. Its a starting point.. a stepping stone in the right direction. I'm going to stick to it, and then move on to more of a challenge. 
From this, I want to improve my outlook on life, and carry on learning new things, and improving myself in any way I can. 

Couldn't really be bothered doing much today.. The car is in the same state it has been in for over a week now. Until I have money, I have to leave it as is...

Well, nights are getting a bit boring at the moment, not much to do around the area.
We were driving about in the Audi A4, and thought it would be quite funny to cover my mate with duct tape. So spent the first part of the night driving around with him screaming help out of the window.. It worked out to be pretty good, until it came to taking the tape off, that was even funnier!
The next part of the night was also pretty good!
Rental Van + Field = Drift King... followed by getting stuck! Getting towed out in the Subaru was pretty cool, which obviously then followed by alot of drifting in that!
Mother will not be happy in the morning... but it was

This is my brothers son, Leon! Coolest kid around! And I can say I'm definitely a proud uncle :)
He popped around today, and always makes me laugh! Straight away he goes into the conservatory and gets all the cars and dinosaurs out! I cant wait until hes older, and I'll hire him as my apprentice to fix my car. I can promise he would be busy.. as no matter what, I will always be fixing something!
The weather is terrible today, but it didn't stop me from going for my first jog! Jogged to Saltburn and back. Was good to be honest, apart from I wore a hoody, which didn't go to well! Think I'll leave that at home from now on...
Its time to go play with the cars and dinosaurs!

Well, first day of my long four day weekend, and opened the curtains to some lovely rain. Which lasted all day! I suppose I shouldn't of been expecting it. So managed to get no work done. I was hoping to jack the car up slightly to at least drain the oil out of it. Maybe I can do this tomorrow? Lets see!
I might jack it up outside.. worried that my drive is steep though, which wont be good it the car roles off the ramps!! It wheres I'd hope that my handbrake is good enough... probably not worth the risk though.
See how I feel tomorrow I guess!

Well got a tiny bit more done tonight. Nothing major, but every little helps I guess!
Firstly, I got an envelope in the post.. and it happened to be the remainder of the white vinyl I needed to finish the shark mouth.. so thats finally all done! looks okay, but it should look a lot better once the rest of the bumper is sprayed. To show the contrast between the black car, white teeth, and grey mouth. I was thinking of putting a shark sticker on my coolant bottle..?
I also got the waterpump off, to find to my surprise, that its a metal impellar. Which is good! I suppose its best to change it whilst I do the belt anyway. Doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it, no cracks etc, but it is a bit stiff when turning.
I put more back on the head as well, just a couple of brackets that I cleaned before hand.
The big task is trying to get a load of people together tomorrow, to get my car in the garage! I would love to get that done, it means I could do a lot more! but I just cant see it happening anytime soon :(

I have a massive love for Audi A4 B5s, I think they are a really nice looking car, with loads of potential! For a car that was made in 1996, I still believe that the interior was quite modern looking, and a really nice place to be. I owned one a couple of years ago, and to this day, really miss it. I obviously got myself a bad example , but that doesn't surprise me! Still somehow managed to get an MOT on it though. 
I sourced a 2000+ B5 to strip, as the engine was gone on it. So I had the full facelift front and rear lights, boot plastics/carpet, and interior parts!
I'm the type of person who needs to fit everything as soon as he gets them! So I didn't hang about.. I loved it, I loved the car! I also love the B7 shape, they really are one of the nicest looking saloons imo. And so much potential! 
I'm getting a bit off topic here... As the picture is of an Audi A4 B6. My mates car infact. A black 1.9 TDI, with baby blue Porsche Cayenne wheels. To me, this is the 'boring' A4. One that lacked in style, and never really stood out. I never found any that were nicely modified. They into the price range I was looking at, but I couldn't bring myself to even view one. Now my mates Audi is rough around the edges, but I really like what he has done to it, and what the future plans are. Subaru seats have arrived, so they will be getting fitted at some point. He has plans on an Sline front bumper and a full respray! The major thing about the car, that really lets it down is the interior. Its always very dirty due to his job, and also grey. Full of grey.. It would depress me sitting in there for too long! So I know hes looking at replacing it with black plastics, or even spraying them black. I know for a fact (as I have done this) that it will make a massive difference to the interior! And I cant wait to see it once its all done.

I happen to live with a pretty nice view. I guess I dont really appreciate it. 5 minutes walk from the beach, quiet area, lovely green fields.. 
But, one thing that really annoys me, which I have noticed a lot recently; is that it always rains at the weekend! Why? 
Is it because the weatherman knows I want to go out at weekends and make the most of the 'lovely' weather? Or is it bad luck? Karma? or something similar? Have I just really annoyed someone without knowing it!? 
I do have a four day weekend coming up, only one full day left at work this week! I have nothing planned, I have nothing that I can do to the Audi.. Apart from get it into the garage. I need plans, I need an adventure. I need to get out! Do something. Any ideas? Ideas that are cheap and cheerful! I Have literally £20 to last me until next Thursday.. Hmm, could be another quiet one. Maybe an opportunity to go for a job I suppose! 

Keep realising, day by day that I'm not getting any younger. My body is really starting to slow down, and maybe carrying a bit more excess baggage. I hate the thought of getting fat, and getting old in general. The fat bit I can help though. As you can see from the picture, its time to sort myself out! and now that I've put it in writing on here, it means that I cant go back on my word.
My lifestyle needs to change. I need to change. I know this has nothing to do with my life with the Audi, but its to do with my life in general.
I'm finally sorting my finances out after years of neglect. Hoping that a miracle would happen! The miracle has now happened though, and I've faced up to what I need to pay off, and how I should do it. Its something that has made me so happy! and I actually cant wait to start paying off the debt. By October next year, I will of paid off 2 credit cards, 1 over draft, 2 loans and the rest of the daily car. And to get to October, its gonna be a long hard struggle... but there is no reason I cant get there! I've budgeted £100 a month to myself, and the rest pays off debt and goes into savings for a rainy day. Its gonna be tight for spending, but £25 a week aint that bad. Plus I really have nothing else to spend my money on! I dont smoke, I dont drink.. I guess it'll just go towards the Audi. This is something I need to do, and I honestly feel like I'm going to enjoy it! Its the right time in my life to do this... then hopefully, for my birthday next year, I wont be here in the UK,.. but somewhere else, more exciting, with more to offer! We'll see..
