Yesterday I got my new mobile phone, an HTC Desire. It’s just amazing, such a great interface and super fast with so much capabilities. I think it’s better than Iphone in so many ways, i love Android and what HTC has done with it. There are a few glitches with some widgets, but nothing major so far. I will have great fun with this phone and with can do so much, no limit with seems. Top notch! I’m on a horse.

Today I put went to a tyre dealership and had them replace the tyres on my 22″ chrome rims for my brand new ones and put the on the car. With this, pimping my ride for the 2010 season is complete :). This is what I have done with it during the winter:

  • Exhaust: New Flowmaster Force II kit with Super 44 mufflers and 4″ tips, stainless steel catback system.
  • Airfilter: K&N Cold Air Intake (CAI) filter.
  • Tyres: Dunlop Sport SP Maxx 265/35R22 tyres with nitrogen.
  • Tune: Tuned with DiabloSport Predator (U7135). Currently using 91 octane* performance CAI tune. (*91 US octane is equal to 95 EU octane).

Please let it be a very good summer coming up! I’m on a horse.

Yesterday I visited the Performance and Custom carshow at Elmia in Jönköping, Sweden. Special guest at the show was car designer and builder Chip Foose. I was hoping to get his autograph on some part from my car, or atleast some t-shirt, but he was only signing posters so I didn’t bother staying in the huge line for that. There were some very nice cars though, alot to see, but also alot of cars that just don’t float my boat at all. But here are just a few of my favourites, including a car that I hope to be my next one in a couple of years or so, the Chevrolet Camaro 2010 :).

I’ve been pimping my ride a bit (Dodge Charger R/T 2006 5.7l). I have my new summer tyres ready to go on the 22″ rims, Dunlop SP Sport Maxx (265/35R22), can’t wait for the winter to finally be over. Last week I also fitted my new exhaust and cold air intake filter, just to get a better sound. After doing much research online I decided that Flowmaster exhausts had the best sound and I ordered a complete catback-system with super-44 mufflers. I also ordered a K&N cold air intake-filter and had it installed. Here are some pictures and also a video I made to let you hear the sound of my ride before and after. Let me tell you, it’s worth it :).

Say Sherlock Holmes the other day, and I think it was actually pretty good. I’m not too sure about the idea of Sherlock Holmes as a super-hero with ninja-skills, but it is well made and exciting to watch.

I’ve been pretty inactive here the last few months, so I’ll try to catch up. I’ve seen several movies since my last entry, but I’ll only write of some of them. I will also share latest news about my ride.
