Another 15 minutes

Saw the new Star Trek movie last night. I had high expectations on this one, and I had heard great things about it. But I was not thrilled by it, the whole timetravel thing and meeting other generations of the Star Trek crew has already been done multiple times. Zachary Quinto played the role as Spock very well though and the special effects was good.

Here are some more pictures of my Dodge Charger, now named “Vanessa” after the movie “Gone in 60 seconds” which featured another type of Charger with this codename.

Today I was at Jean-Michel Jarre’s concert in Stockholm with my family. We had very nice seats and the show was good, lots of lights and lasers ofcourse. He played nothing from his latest albums, it was the old classics all the way, and he played 4 encores. People expected the first encore, which was Oxygene, and after that people started to leave, they shouldn’t have because then he played another song which he dedicated to Sweden followed by two more songs, great stuff. Here are some photos taken from the concert.

The dream car for me has always been a Corvette, but when I visited New York last summer I spotted a Dodge Charger, which came to be another dream car of mine. Last week I found one Charger for sale which looked very nice and had a nice pricetag to it. I looked over my finances and decided to take it for a test drive on Sunday and then sleep on it and come to a decision.

Yesterday I decided to go for it so I called and let them know I wanted it. Today I picked it up and drove it home, feels damn good. It’s a very nice car, for a good price. The color is a very nice deep water blue pearl and it has huge 22″ chrome wheels. Chrome wheels is not particuraly my taste, I would prefer black, but they do have a nice design anyway. The engine is a 5.7l V8 hemi producing 345 hp, but it’s pretty quite actually, until you floor it ofcourse. It’s very nice to drive, but takes a while to get used to those big and wide tyres on the road. It’s very roomy and comfortable inside, feels very luxurious. Vromm, vromm!! :)

More pictures will be added soon enough.

I was in the mood for a new PS3 game this weekend and after playing the demo of H.A.W.X. I decided to get it, it was on sale too. The graphics is very good, and the feeling of plane control too. I played through the campaign missions on level “hard” and actually finished the game in one evening, which is ofcourse not a good grade for a game I think. But I could always continue with online play, co-op or versus mode, which makes any game more fun I think. If it wasn’t for a huge harddrive installation (5 Gb) and short single user campaign it would have got 4 out of 5 from me for the graphics and feel of the game.

This weekend the boatmotor died in mid sea and after some restart attempts the battery was dead. Not knowing exactly what was wrong we had to first replace the battery to see if it would start at all. So we bought a new battery yesterday and it started right up again and we could get the boat back home to our port. So it seemed like it was only the battery that was too old, and wouldn’t charge anymore. If the new battery will charge time will tell, but atleast the voltage gauge showed an increase during the ride home. Now we just have to clean the thing up abit and also get the fuel gauge working properly, a story continued from last season.
