The Beresford Hotel

Posted on 9 June, 2011 by Justin Fox

MKV chillin outside.

Live plants! Just makes me want to start up my succulent garden even more.

Linguine with crab meat, zucchini, garlic and chilli.

Barramundi with cannellini.

Spotted: Zoomer delivery scooter at the new Deus on Bourke St. Oury grips, disc brake set-up.

Had lunch with Christina today at The Beresford Hotel. House Made Pasta. I jump with joy (well on the inside anyways) whenever I see fresh pasta on the menu.

We’re having a huge 25% off store wide sale on Modern Pet this month. How’s the shop going? Well we’re getting a few sales a week, but we’re not getting enough food on the table for the 4 of us running it. We’re not losing money though, so it;s all good for now.

Spread the word on the discount if you know of anyone who has pets. I’d really appreciate it! Visit: http://modernpetshop.com

Kuwahara V3

Posted on 8 June, 2011 by Justin Fox

Re-issue Dia Compe brakes from the states.

Name and shame! The brakes came wrapped up in this freaky double page spread of a local newspaper.

North Georgia Busted!

The new frame (came with BB + headset which I removed to replace with chrome bits).

Dropout detail.

Brake boss detail.

All done.

I managed to find myself a genuine Kuwahara re-issue frame in chrome as I didn’t think the black frame I had was cutting it. The frame came in today. I was meant to get to Top One to work on the car, then fix the alignment but I had to wait around for a live stock delivery (peppermint shrimp for the fish tank) so instead I worked on the car (removed spacers to stop the rubbing) and I got busy working on the Kuwa too.

It’s come up like it was before, except now it’s a genuine Kuwahara frame as opposed to some knock-off cheapy. I’m happy, hands are sore, it’s 4.30PM, where are my shrimp?

Belated B’day gift from the Gypsy!

Posted on 7 June, 2011 by Justin Fox

My good old design buddy Luca from Like Minded Studio sent me a beautiful belated B’day gift. The message and artwork itself blows me away, but the little inscription he wrote on the back takes the cake and it just makes my day. I’m in awe of this guys generosity, and this gift just reminds me of how he and I met, and the great times in between then and now.

He’s one crazy talented Gypsy! I’ve been in awe of his style, and attitude from day one. To check out more of his work visit: www.likemindedstudio.com

ADVAN Neova’s – MKV gets new shoes

Posted on 7 June, 2011 by Justin Fox

Fresh ADVAN Neova rubber. Probably one of the sexiest tread patterns on any semi so far!

Tucking at the back, sticking out at the front.

A little Mexican, sticking out too far. I need to adjust camber plates to dial in more camsber, unfortunately I can’t reach the camber plates though!!! Grr!!!!

Got my new ADVAN Neova tyres fitted today. They’re a little wider at 235’s instead of the R888’s 225’s (to meet load rating). I had massive dramas with the tyre install and alignment place, but I won’t mention any names. I’m currently rubbing like a mofo front and back but I’m booked in with Doug at Heasman’s tomorrow for some of his magic loving.

Dejavu

Archibald was great this year, so much more technical than previous years I thought.

Great stuff at the AGNSW right now. Lower floors, go, go now.

Got wood?

Falling leaves at Botanical Gardens.

I’d never seen the succulent garden before in the park, so so so good!

Lunch at Otto (very nice!).

Drinks at The Opera Bar. Vivid Sydney is on right now, despite the cold there were heaps of snappers out and about to check out the crazy projections. We’re sure Vivid is just going to get better and better every year.
