Big thanks, new car & stuff

Journal Entry: Wed Jun 10, 2009, 11:55 PM

First of all i would like to say a big thanks for all the favs, watches & comments on "Chromata" (my latest submission). As you know i usually try to answer all the messages i get, but right now i've got about 950 messages and i've already answered alot.
You have probably noticed i don't submit as often as i used to or would like to and the reason is my work. Graphic design is not always fun & games... actually it rarely is. That is mainly the reason why i like to submit my personal works here and not client stuff. Although from time to time i might submit some client work too.

In other news my new car finally arrived

I wanted something fast, small and not to high on gass and of course not too expensive. So i got the opel corsa OPC with 192 hp.
I'm a little impatient cause i have to do about 2000km before i can start putting the pedal to the metal

but i'll probably go on a road trip on the weekend so....

For more gossip about myself (nothing interesting to be honest) follow me on twitter [link]

What's new with you?

I know the feeling, though the work aspect drains, and we create art to push and maintain our creativity haha. I'm getting out of the work-mode too, so I'll be putting a lot of time aside for this, just gotta make the time.

Congrats on the new car though man!

nice.. i have an opel astra gsi all white with big dark somkey rims. not that big 17s:/ but thats all that would fit on without major modification and they still rub a tiny bit on the inner wheel arch when the steering wheel is on full lock lol.

Thanks! Yeah we have to find the time for personal work cause i think that's the best way to evolve.

Hhahhahaha niceeeee

One more advice... after a "pedal to the metal" driving, when you stop, do not turn off the car immediately... leave it to idle for a minute or two, and the turn it off, so the the number of RPM's in the turbo charger decreases in oil that is circulating, not in the same oil if the car engine is off... in that way you turbo charger can last 100 years.

Happy driving!

thanks for the advise, i know

, it also works the other way around too, you have to warm up the car for about 7 minutes before you start increasing rpm's
