JABBAS MOVING - JABBAS NEW "JABBAS WORLD" PICS INS

[Jabba]

I knew you would like the fridge TT..... 8) 8) 8)

I knew you would like the fridge TT..... 8) 8) 8)

...screw the fridge... what about the bloody stove... ;)

[TT]

LOL, you are right :D ! :P basically we don't care about the house as far as the kitchen is well equipped :D

[corvette97]

why not a SUB-ZERO?

[jon_s]

LG have a fridge with a TV in it!! I tried to get a pic, but I can't find one, however, it is on this page:

http://www.lge.com/index.do

[Jabba]

go on tell us what a sub zero is and can we get them in the UK ??

I have seen the fridge I think you mean Jon it has internet access and can order your food for you when you are running low on certain items...only snag is....it was £7,499 when I last looked in comet...

Geez...thats alot for a fridge.

[jon_s]

Yep, that is the bad boy!! hehe, in true rapper style: it is bling! :roll:

[Jabba]

Thanks for you interest as always brembo...and yes that is indeed an empty wine rack.

[geekdiggy]

:shock: This pix scared me when I first saw it..
It was the first pic to load.. and I though it was a headless fireman trying to carry the gas cylender.. :D

http://www.supercarshowdown.co.uk/house/311.jpg

what's scarier is i was going to say the exact same thing

[asthenia]

Oh, wow. I just read this whole thread beginning to end. I don't know much about you Jabba, but I can tell you've got sensational taste.

Someone mentioned carpeting the garage earlier, but it seems a little...odd. That is, unless you put polished diamond plate steel under the cars. But a friend of mine has 70's shag in her bike garage, and even her new CBR gets road grit and little flecks of oil on it, and it's just gross.

What about polished concrete or epoxy? They're shiny and reflective, so if you use focused halogen spots on the cars, the floors will reflect the colour of the paint --- especially if it's epoxy on white marine paint. A glossy white floor with red and yellow cars...

Sorry if I'm getting nosy...I've just always wanted the perfect dream garage, with big rolling tool chests and glass-smooth floors, bright lights, a nice stereo, a beer fridge...I'd never leave. This way, I can live vicariously through you. :mrgreen:

Keep up the work Jabba. I'm not the only one who's jealous, I'm sure.

[Jabba]

Sorry if I'm getting nosy...I've just always wanted the perfect dream garage, with big rolling tool chests and glass-smooth floors, bright lights, a nice stereo, a beer fridge....

Far from it...keep the ideas coming...only one side of the garage floor is currently oxide red...and none of the builders are too sure as to what would be the best surface to roll cars onto except for the current concrete base that is there at the moment....

Maybe you could give me some websites for the ideas you are suggesting and it would be a big help if I can get hold of everything or simlar in the UK.

Thanks

Jabba

dude you're house is haunted!!

btw nice fridge!!
and very very nice collection of light globes!!

[jon_s]

That is a damn good idea about the floors being polished. Perhaps you could visit a Lambo/Ferrari dealer or two and see what they have used for flooring. If you like it, ask who the fitters were and go from there.

I will have a little dig about later today........

[altezza]

Just found some interesting sites on the net regarding floor tiles and floor paint

Ferrari Showroom tiles (http://www.minoli.co.uk/motor.html)

BMW showroom tiles (http://www.tiles.org.uk/galleries/commercial/)

Epoxy resin flooring system (for engineering workshops and garages) (http://www.acml.co.uk/)

if you're looking for suggestions (and that's IF you are) i'd suggest rubber tread. i always fantasized about there being a such thing as rubber roads, where traction were at its maximum, wouldn't it be cool to have a rubber-floor garage? where the tires just sing into the rubber when not in use and everything's all, GRIPPY.

or am i just thinking of my own weird dream garage :oops:

hahahaha, well found, you have done , my digging for me!!

I like the tiles....the epoxy flooring is good if you are actually working on the cars e.t.c the tiles are more show room style.

Those are good links!

[stradale]

I think brembo nailed it with the badges. That would be very very cool. In altezza's second link you see in the Volvo showroom it's also possible to have badges printed (apparently) on the tiles if a mosaic is not possible.

[enigmatic]

Thanks for you interest as always brembo...and yes that is indeed an empty wine rack.
my family owns a winery here in Australia (i'm sure beaver has given some a little test at some stage?), if you want to fill that wine rack up, im sure we could organise a nice mix.

Already looks a lot better, Jabba. I see you're planning on starting a football team as well. :wink:

[Jabba]

This is indeed a fantastic website....just what I have been looking for....

http://www.ultimategarage.com/UltGar2x.htm

The tiles with the logos is an excellent *dream* idea...but I am not sure if I will be able to afford this along with everything else I have had to pay out for.

Perhaps we could start a sponsored tile campaign on JW where everyone could buy one tile (depending on the cost of course)..perhaps I could put your names on the back of each tile or something with the date...and of course post the pictures on JW....just an idea....

Thanks for all the great advice anyway.... 8) 8) 8)

[TT]

Already looks a lot better, Jabba. I see you're planning on starting a football team as well. :wink:

HAHAHA, yes I was wondering why there are so many balls around :D

[Jabba]

I think the last owner had them for his doggies....

[TT]

Dang he really left in a damn hurry... did it left also some presents in the WC?

[Jabba]

Here is the first idea....

http://www.ultimategarage.com/garage1108.jpg

[TT]

Anyway you can already reserve a place for my tile Jabba :D or a couple of them

[Jabba]

hooooray....one so far...cool...

Now we need a mathamatical genius to work out how mnay we are going to need.

[TT]

LMAO! I call me out for any mathematical matters ;)

[Jabba]

I have been told the rough cost of of the tiles will be between $1.50- $2 each....

[TT]

Great! I wasn't expecting much more than that :D I already can't wait for the final result LOL

[jon_s]

what are the costs of those tiles?!?!?! - lol, you two have had a conversation while I was typing this lol

I was thinking exactly the same about the footballs lol

I like the garage in your pic, the tiles especially....I have always like slate.

Perhans, instead of putting the Ferrari/Lambo logos on the tiles, you could have a simple white wall (cheaper) with the logos painted on (perhaps cheaper that printing onto tiles). Maybe I should use 'cost effective' anstead of cheap lol

Just another point: keeping a while floor clean with cars on may be a pain in the arse. Grey/Black tiles would hide the dirt and emphasise the colour of the cars. If the car logos were printed into the tiles, in time it may get ruined and look really bad..(an expensive mistake)...

Are you planning on having the tool boxes?

Or, have something like this made up:
http://www.isquare.com/personal_pages/images/ferrari-garage-logo.jpg

I was not thinking of a yellow wall though.

[TT]

Are you planning on having the tool boxes?


Oh yes I was asking the same.. they are damn gorgeous :D would be nice to have them in the garage, even if empty LOL

[Evo]

http://www.ultimategarage.com/garage1108.jpg

I think if you have this type of window you could do a nice trick with it..
get someone to print out the negative part of a ferrari logo with the same window size. Then just stick it on the window... in day time the ferrari logo will be displayed ..
Just my cheap idea.. lol tell me what you think :roll:

[Jabba]

Here is an interesting "tile picture creator" program.

Just my cheap idea.. lol tell me what you think :roll:

Very damn cleaver....amazing how many great ideas are appearing on this thread now....

I dont think it will work for me in England though...as based on our levels of sun I would never get to see the logos :?

[Evo]

:mrgreen: Give me your garage then.. I wil garanty 24/7 sun light .. even at night.. lol :lol:

[Jabba]

The probably isn't a very practical solution....

[jon_s]

Would you want both Lambo and Ferrari Logos? Or just Ferrari OR Lambo?

[Jabba]

Got to be both I think....

[stradale]

http://www.isquare.com/personal_pages/images/ferrari-garage-logo.jpg

This is FABULOUS! Combined with the dark tiles and red tool boxes it would be astonishing. I really like this yellow. Goes just as well with a Lamborghini badge.

[SFDMALEX]

I thought it would be cool of the Garage was plain white all over, then it would have two huge Ferrari and Lambo logos on the back wall. Plus two tool cases. And ofcourse spot lights.

[Zonda11]

Here is the first idea....

http://www.ultimategarage.com/garage1108.jpg

Shit.....That's awesome!

[PATo355]

I have been told the rough cost of of the tiles will be between $1.50- $2 each....

hhmmm ... UK ? so that is like 3 to 4 dollars , if i can pay via credit card sign me with 4

[Jabba]

No...they were US dollar prices ($)...I am going to wait until I get some more information (exact size etc) before I decide if we are going to take this any further.

[SPEEDKILLAR]

Congrats man, that looks sweet, hope you'll have a good time with it :wink:

[ahmedgiyab]

Jabba! Come and live on the Palm Island in Dubai...we have no taxes...cars are half priced...and you can use ur pool there 365 days a year... :wink:

[Jabba]

Thanks for the offer...I have heard alot of good things about Dubai....its a bit to far to travel to my office from there though.... :wink:

[Anonymous]

what about getting a gulfstream jet?

get there in style and quickly.

[nejcdolinsek]

No comment... :shock:

[yellow_rice]

nice place jabba, i'd get u a house warming if i could.
so is the go-kart track an invitation to JW members? lol jkjk.
goodluck.

[DallasE46]

I wish i had 1/4 the place you are moving into! Beautiful house and landscape for that matter. So far I have to be content with my condo and only two cars because the economy sucks here in the US.

I was in Dallas a few years back....very cool skyline at night indeed...especially the green neon around one particular building (I may have a picture of it I can upload)...spent alot of time down in the west end...which was coming on very nicely...whats it like there now ??

Nice :D coming along pretty well :D Thanks for the kitchen shots ;)

[Chingachgook]

Very nice house, compliments again, simple but at teh same time original and..accogliente :oops:

[gis]

house is lookin good jabba,the fridge is awesome.hope everythin is goin to plan :D

[coombsie66]

Ive always liked the look of stone flooring in kitchens and utilities, but they can be a bastard if u drop nything!!! Plus u'll have to wear ur slippers when u come down for a cuppa, bacon sarnie and the papers on a sunday morning those floors get bloody cold!! lol
Looks nice.
Also, are you goin all white tiles in the bathroom? I dont mean to be rude but IMO i think that style can be improved upon. I quite like the sandstone look. In the bathroom in my flat thats the style we went for, i think it looks quite fresh, contrasts the stainless steel well and the oak border sets it off nicely.

Nah - the economy doesn't suck - it is just currently experiencing "opportunites for improvement".. ;)

BTW Jabba - looking good...

[Jabba]

Also, are you goin all white tiles in the bathroom? I dont mean to be rude but IMO i think that style can be improved upon.

I really wanted dark blue tiles at the bottom with a border than white tiles at the top...but the bathroom is an awkward shape and wouldn't really allow it....the colour of the tiles being fitted may not come across very well....they are not a pure white they have a peach effect in the design...I also have a pure white Jacuzzi being fitted that I also had to take into consideration...

BTW coombs and son...I think your bathroom looks great....and thats exactly the sort of style I love especially the towel ladder rail...I am also getting the same style of bog as you...and that handle looks great as well.

All looks great and thanks for posting the photos...maybe we should think about a home improvements section on JW....

[coombsie66]

^^ LOL, absolutely, i'd b happy to contribute!!
Now i look again at ur tiles, i see the effect you are talking about, they arnt plain. You have to be carefull with white, it can make the place look like an opperating theatre! But as you said, the dark blue border should contrast really well.
By the way those towel rails arnt hard to come by, i think mine was from screwfix, and reasonably priced too.
Ive always wanted a jacuzzi, for full big pimping potential!!

I have photos of the kitchen and lounge as well if nyones interested, but this is the jabbas moving in pics, so i dont watn to thread hijack!!! lol

[Jabba]

Yeh only trouble is I cant have the blue tiles :cry: but I am sure its gonna look nice (I hope) none the less.

About the white...tell me about it...I was having serious doubts about the kitchen looking too clinical...but all came good today when they put the fittings back on...so far everyone who has seen it (in reality) likes it....

Fire away with ya pics..don't worry I am interested in all ideas I can nick from ya... :wink:

[Jabba]

If you really like jacuzzi's check this little chap out...sadly I dont think its available in the UK...
http://products.jacuzzi.com/images/products/large/lascala_lg.jpg

[TT]

Again this pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw it months ago and never forgot (nor deleted frm my HD) ;)

[Jabba]

Damn...next you will ruin my weekend TT and tell me I can get it in the UK

[TT]

I never dare to search for infos about it and always hoped it's just a good photoshop :D because after having a dream garage, that thing is sure very very desirable!

[coombsie66]

I like the kitchen as the dark granite splits it up nicely, i like it running up the back of the wall as well, unusuall but looks nice.
Are you having a shower in the bathroom as well, as a nice stainless shower surround would work well against the white. Maybee stainless blinds as i have in teh kitchen pic (cant see to well tho)
Oh, what lighting are you goin for? Pendents, or downlighters? I'd recomend downlighters as IMO the look is more modern, and worth the hassle. Also the low voltage ones seem a good idea at firsta s the fitting are cheaper i dont hink you need transformers, but the bulbs blow for a past time and they arnt cheap.

Very nice place you got there coombsie...and very smart and tidy kitchen too....I have low voltage lighting through out as I do in my present home and office....I may as well go for the grand slam and get it for the garage as well eventually.

LOVE THEM BAR STOOLS....do you want to sell them to JW ?

[coombsie66]

yeah, the kitchen is so tidy cus i aint cooked a thing in it yet!! LOL, i dont spend much time there, mostly up ere in london.
The bar stools i have to thank my mum 4, (good taste is hereditory :wink: )
I think they were about 30 -40 quid each from sum large warehouse style place. They arnt particularly gud quality, but they doo look cool!!
I'll find out where she got em from next time i ring back if u want?!
PS, cheers 4 teh complements, im afraid it aint quite up to jabba standards yet, but im only young! :wink:

[coombsie66]

Here's a few pics of what it was like at the beginning of last summer, i think you'll agree a slight improvement!! lol

[Jabba]

I dont use my current kitchen either...saves messing it up....thats the nice thing about something being new...sadly the farm where I am moving to has been well and truly used...but were slowly turning it around as you can see in the pictures....

Your kettle looks like something right out of roswell btw....very cool indeed...

[Jabba]

I love the pink bath....why the fuck didnt ya keep that ??? I would have gladly bought that from you btw...

[coombsie66]

Thats no kettle, it is actually a small spaceship indeed.
I had the pleasure of beating the living shit out of that cast iron piece of shit wiv a fuckin huge sledge hammer!! And took the skin off my shins in the process (mental note, always swing away from legs).
I plan on cooking, i enjoy it, but as im alone up there at the moment, then i just go in teh main house and have dinner wiv the family.
Hopefully if i can find a willing sexy lady to accompany me, i mite have to use it 4 a couple romantic dinners!!
Nah fuck it takeaway it is!

Nice to see some scale models scattered around :D all in "rosso ferrari" ;)

[coombsie66]

Love the fish tank. I think i have a hob thats identical to that one!!!! I like the wood units as well, thats what we have in our kitchen in the main house, stightly lighter shade tho. About a year ago we gave it a make over, oak flooring, differnt worktop (dark granite effect) put in a breakfast bar, and a large range cooker, with granite surface either side. It brought what was quite an old kitchen back up to date.

[Jabba]

Yep you wont find any models of anything Mclaren in this house...

http://www.supercarshowdown.co.uk/house/605.jpg

This space is now occupied my a marvelous model of an Enzo...just gonna get my camera now....

LMAO :D while you will grab the camera I will find the way to my bed.. 3 am here :P

That kitchen is almost seven years old now...so its starting to look a bit dated...I hope it doesnt effect the price I get when I come to sell the house next month....

http://www.supercarshowdown.co.uk/house/607.JPG

[coombsie66]

Same, ours is over 10 years old, but a change of work tops, cooker hob, and flooring, and the units are given a new lease of life (and they r the expensive things + fitting), so just telll prospective buyers if they are put off by it that it doesnt take much to give it a new lease of life.
Man im having doubts about my degree now! I shud have gone into property development, estate agent, interior designer!!! lol :lol:

[Jabba]

Yep...sure is alot of fun as well...I mean enjoying spending all the money...then getting it all back again when you sell and a profit on top too....

[Jabba]

My last pictures for tonight and a very messy looking Jabba work station.

Rite im off 2 bed. Got far to much work to be catching up on tomorrow!!
Best of luck with the rest of the house, i await the regular updates!!!!!
Cheers

[asthenia]

The tires don't get destroyed if you drive them frequently. :mrgreen:

(Edit: or is that 'tyres'...)

[asthenia]

The kitchen is coming along beautifully. I wondered about that fridge when I saw it out of the kitchen, since it doesn't match the stainless stove, but damn. It works.

Also, are those integrated speaker wires in the top corner of the kitchen wall?

If you ever need someone to house-sit, let me know. I'll even buy my own plane ticket. All I ask is that you leave the keys to the 355. 8)

Nope...the house with the seven year old kitchen is where I am currently living (and have done so for seven years)...that I will sell when I move into the farm that I am having "fixed up"

Nice to see the garage doors in place and good idea to shot pics with the BMW inside, to give a better idea of proportions!

[Jabba]

Nice to see the garage doors in place and good idea to shot pics with the BMW inside, to give a better idea of proportions!

Yes I am really pleased with the doors..I will post a video of them a bit later in action...they have a very smooth motion indeed...

I am a little worried about the width of the garage as you can see parking the bimmer head on is quite tight.....I can see the garage might have to be made a bit wider at some point...until now...I think the camera I am am putting in the garage will hopefully help with parking the beasts.

[coombsie66]

Looking gud.
Like you say its proably gunna b a bit tight parking the lambo in the garage head on, u recon it'll even fit, they r quite long arnt they?
That roof hatch ladder looks a little flimsy?!? :?
The tiles in the bathroom have turned out good IMO the effect on them breaks the block colour up suitably.
My bar stools unbelievebly are from argos!! at about £20 each but come in sets of two. so £40.

Are you goin to black out the sidwe windows into the garage? Cus u wudnt want spying eyes looking in on your pride and joys!!!

[Jabba]

I guess we will have to see about the lambo and ferrari fitting head on...they are much wider for sure... cant say about the length though..

It may be a case of going length ways as making the garage wider would be a fairly big project....but we got loads of room to do it... thats the most important thing..

I agree about the loft ladder and to think that fucker cost me £100...still...probably wont be using it a great deal I guess...I am not so worried about the windows as you cant really get anywhere near the garage unless you are let in through the front gates

[TT]

Here is what I found out for the lenghts of the 3 cars:

3-Series - 4492 mm
Diablo - 4460 mm
F355 - 4250 mm

Interesting damn! The BMW is the longer one :D

[Jabba]

If those figures are correct...then I love you TT...I sure will get a better nights sleep thats for sure....as I have been rather gutted since seeing how tight it was with the bimmer....

I now want to get the Diablo over there right now to see how well it fits....

The other point is that in the summer it wouldn't always be necessary to close the doors so they could be parked in a more casual manner whilst they are being used.

[coombsie66]

lol, turned out awrite on the size front then!!!!
One problem tho, if u wanted to get one of the new rolls royce u'd need a whole new garage!!!! Those fuckers r huuuuge, seen a couple, like 2 fiestas long!

[Jabba]

No worries there...the rolls would probably be the last car I would ever want....in fact even a benz (not SL of course) is a rather an old mans car IMO....

One thing though...I have a parking aid with the bimmer..and I can get to within an inch of the back wall....of course the Lambo doesn't have that and what with the rear bumper costing £5,000 I wouldn't want to find the wall the hard way...

[jon_s]

not only that 5k, but £x for the cost of a new wall! Them Lambos' are hefty buggers!!

[TT]

As for the bumper problem, you can put on the wall some sort of "rubber", tick enough to be save if you slowly, very slowly hit it...

[stradale]

Or you could park it the other way round and reverse if you want to drive it out of the garage.

The red doors on the garage look good. And it looks like the bathroom is turning into the final product quickly.

[coombsie66]

We've got old head boards from beds botled to our garage walls, to avoid the same costly fate!! The M5 fits in by about 10 inches if your touching the back wall wiv the front bumper!!!!

[TT]

My parents use some old tires.. but a tire beeing something like 25 wide, it risks to be to much since there is not much space left ;)

[coombsie66]

Unless its a bike tyre!! :wink: :D 8)

[TT]

Sweet idea, but not as stable as a car one ;)

[coombsie66]

Yeah, thought that afterwards! lol, could use nything really, rubber dingy if uve got one!?
Ah, perfect, a small child, cus they'll b about the right height, and start screaming when ur close!! Perfect parking sensor!! :wink: :lol:

[TT]

That's perfect!! Why didn't we all realised that before? And when you are out, you can use the little child to do some cleaning inside the hourse, take care of the outside and so on! Then when he hears the V12 or V8 he can just run in the back of the garage and be ready to be hit by a bumper!

[coombsie66]

LOL, yeah, now i know why my dad put up wiv all the smelly nappies, and me always having wierd shaped thighs!!

[stradale]

LOL, yeah, now i know why my dad put up wiv all the smelly nappies, and me always having wierd shaped thighs!!

Thanks to the EU future generations will be deprived of such wonderful memories, LOL!!

[jon_s]

pmsl!

What are you two on tonight?? and can I have some!

I have been preparing wook all evening...getting bored! :P

[coombsie66]

Couple pints and a bottle of wine, im bored as fuck too, cant b fucked to do work, so my mind is runnin wild!!! lol

[jon_s]

lol, just finished preparing me case....happy now!

[geekdiggy]

jabba are you gonna do anything about those floor tiles in your kitchen? as in , replace them?

[Jabba]

That's perfect!! Why didn't we all realised that before? And when you are out, you can use the little child to do some cleaning inside the hourse, take care of the outside and so on! Then when he hears the V12 or V8 he can just run in the back of the garage and be ready to be hit by a bumper!

hahahahahaha LMFUCKINGAO....excellent idea....

[Jabba]

jabba are you gonna do anything about those floor tiles in your kitchen? as in , replace them?

I would love to....but they are worth a shit load as they are real slate...

Hopefully they will clean up ok with some patio acid cleaner...I wonder if coombs and son have any ideas on this ?

[coombsie66]

Hmmmm, dont now about brick acid, may b a bit harsh for the grout they use in internal floors, and that stone looks quite nice, mite bleach it.
Is it actuall paint on the floor, or just looks like it? Mite just have to be a bit of turps and elbow grease!!!!
I like it that im becoming an authority on this shit now!!! My dad'll b proud :cry:

[geekdiggy]

the thing i like about jw is no matter what you bring up there's always an expert on the subject

i wanna make my testicle hairs stop growing any experts have advice?

[TT]

i wanna make my testicle hairs stop growing any experts have advice?


Uhm.. with the right hormones I think you can solve that.. and you will soon have tits too :D

[Jabba]

I am not sure if coombs and son are qualified to give advice on hormone replacement treatment though...

[geekdiggy]

that's not exactly what i'm looking for TT, i said do any EXPERTS have advice 0X

[Jabba]

Hmmmm, dont now about brick acid, may b a bit harsh for the grout they use in internal floors, and that stone looks quite nice, mite bleach it.

I like it that im becoming an authority on this shit now!!! My dad'll b proud :cry:

Its got years of grime that has been ground into it by the last scum bag that lived there...I think its going to require something a bit stronger than bleach...I tested the patio cleaner on a small part and it seemed to work well...but I am worried as you say about it damaging the colours too much...

[Zonda11]

i wanna make my testicle hairs stop growing any experts have advice?


Uhm.. with the right hormones I think you can solve that.. and you will soon have tits too :D

Not too sure you wanna start messn with ur balls! If you fuck them up, they won't come back from the dead!

[coombsie66]

I recon a bit of patio acid on ur ball sack will take those hairs off a treat!!
As for the kitchen floor, i guess that acid is the only way to go. As long as the grout is fairly robust it shoudnt effect it too badly. U just dont wanna wipe away the fizzing fluid to find u dont have a kitchen floor left anymore!!!!!!!!!!! :shock:

[Jabba]

Also, are those integrated speaker wires in the top corner of the kitchen wall?



Yes and very well noticed.

[Donny]

Jabba, how's the house goin'? Have you moved in yet? Or do you want to have it all redesigned? I really like the pics you post of the house...it rocks. Best of luck with it!!

DOn

[Jabba]

The bathrooms are going to take the longest to fit and therefore I doubt I will be in before the end of March...

Just ordered this chair to go with the Jabba PC featured in the computer section.

[TT]

Wow, very cool! Seems some sort of sister or cousing of the living room one.. you know, the one previously seen in "Friends" and the one I think you already own, with places where to fit drinks and stuff :D

[Jabba]

Damn that chair looks great, its like you will get your own massage theraphist in that package....
how does the ac work on it?

As I understand it you can run the massage systems on the rechargeable battery for a limited amount of time for mobile use...or have it plugged into the mains for continuous use....

Just what I thought TT... and I mentioned this when I was placing the order....very well remembered indeed :wink:

Of course this chair is bad news for you...as it should enable me to resume my long sessions on JW and catch up with your amazing post count (in my dreams) :wink: :wink:

[TT]

LOL, just take care of your hand and not only your back ;) and well, I can't wait to see you back at full boost on JW, you already know that :D

[Tomerville]

Jabba, you crazy. Still it looks comfortable. And I would LOVE to have. How about those Sparco and Reccaro desk chairs? those are awsome but a lil pricey.

[Jabba]

LOL, just take care of your hand and not only your back ;) and well, I can't wait to see you back at full boost on JW, you already know that :D

Yep my hand is much better now thanks.... due to my lack of recent post whoring I think...

I may have stopped posting videos but I never stopped capturing them...look out for three episodes of the brand new series of pulling power coming soon...the last one featuring a lovely visit to the Ferrari test track....sadly they still have the black homo guy in the series....

[Jabba]

the chair looks good,and its a good investment when you use some time in front of your comp as you do...

Yep...I also suffer badly from lower back pain...so I am hoping it might help with that as well....

[Jabba]

while we are on the subject of vids jabba, the JC inventions that changed the world show will that sneak in too....... :wink:

Well I have them all thats for sure...sadly I can only work on videos when I am at home...and most of my time in the evening is spent over at the farm but I should have a clear week next week I hope.... :wink:

[Jabba]

How about those Sparco and Reccaro desk chairs? those are awsome but a lil pricey.

Any details on these dude ?? website address ??

[Jabba]

When I do start uploading again it will be an epic on-slaught "shock and awe" as I have a ton of stuff....so get plenty of blank CD's ready.... 8) 8) 8)

[TT]

I may have stopped posting videos but I never stopped capturing them...look out for three episodes of the brand new series of pulling power coming soon...the last one featuring a lovely visit to the Ferrari test track....


Hehe you already know... when you will be ready, we will too :D

[Jabba]

damn they are indeed lovely...and cheaper than the one I just ordered...I just hope the one I am getting ends up being as good.

[Tomerville]

Any details on these dude ?? website address ??


There is an exellent store named Exoticar which is in New York NY, Miami, and Beverly Hills. They ship and have the lowest prices. www.exoticar.com

If you are ever in any of those three cities, I suggest you check the store out. not only do they have apparel, but also dicasts beyond belief! At the NY store, I saw Michael schummacher's front nose piece selling for $10,000. Needless to say, it was sold quickly

[Donny]

getting curious as well!!!

[Jabba]

I did mention it briefly in the F1 thread why there were no pictures this week....

It was a real disaster this weekend...when I had to give the builder some cash for materials....cutting along story short he could ony fit part of the money in his wallet the rest in another pocket....

Anyway...I am sure you know whats coming...and it is indeed a nitemare...

Somehow the wallet fell out of his pocket or it was stolen on the way to the store and he thought that everything was still ok as he could still feel the bulk of my money in his other pocket which he was the most worried about.

Sadly the wallet contained still a huge some of money (for me anyway) £1,250 and of course despite a major search operation it appears that someone must have picked it up and not handed it in.

If there was a good side to the story then it was the fact that the other money he had in the other pocket was safe and that being £4,000

Of course...it was terrible for him to have to tell me the news....as of course obviously we are all going to presume he took the money and made that story up....

Sadly he is not in a financial position to refund me the money...and I would have to wish to see him have to sell his car or anything like that to pay me back....The best arrangement that I could come up with was that he is now going to to work weekday evenings to try and pay some of the money back to me.....if it works out...then it might have not been so bad after all..as it should allow me to move in quicker than when he was working at the weekends only....

Still very depressing to know someone is £1,250 better off...enough I should think for a lovely holiday somewhere even.

[stradale]

If he works during weekday evenings to pay back the cash he lost, than it's not that bad afterall. Still, somewhere there's a person walking around with a pile of cash he didn't deserve. That's the annoying part I guess. Of course all this trouble cost a lot of precious time over the weekend, which is a shame since I can imagine you want everything done as soon as possible. It's sad for the builder as well, although he could have taken more care I think.

[TT]

Yes as I already told you that sucks badly... it's bad for you and even worst for him.. I think I would feel like the worst shit of the world if something like that will ever happens to me...

[Jabba]

Yep the other issue is I really could have done without paying out another £1,250 for the bathroom materials that the money was supposed to be for...oh well life sure can be a bitch sometimes...thats for sure.....

[Jabba]

Yes as I already told you that sucks badly... it's bad for you and even worst for him.. I think I would feel like the worst shit of the world if something like that will ever happens to me...

It was very bad to begin with...I was even waking up in the middle of the night totally GUTTED about what had happened...it was also on the night of the GP and therefore spoilt that for me also...

I feel better now though...its only good old "time" that heels all wounds I guess.

[dragula_bassman]

sorry about your situation, just wondering what that ends up at in US currency?

[Jabba]

$2,295.77 USD

I think it will always work out alot whatever the currency is :|

[dragula_bassman]

I would shit a brick and then kill the guy with it!
:x

[Jabba]

I thought about it...and if violence would bring the money back...then yeh...for sure....but someone cant give you back what they havent got... no matter how much you scream...trying to make the best of a bad situation....I am hoping he will work his nuts off to make up for it....

[dragula_bassman]

Yeah, make him work for it!! :mrgreen:

[jon_s]

Assuming that the builder is telling the truth (the fact that he is working overtime may go some way to suggest that he is), this is a bit of a sad situation, everyone involved bar the finder has been affected badly. If I found just over 1k in a wallet, I would do my best to return the money! I may remove a tenner for my services :wink: ....but I know how I would feel if I lost 1k.

I lost £50 once, that was bad enough..let alone 1k :shock:

Hope it all works out!

[dragula_bassman]

I know what you mean about that one!

[Jabba]

It has had a really bad effect on so many people it would seem...money really can be such a nasty thing sometimes...

First he has had a massive row with his wife...who was crying all night...wondering how they were going to get the money back to me....and of course she had been telling him to be extra careful with all that cash as it wasn't his.

Then in desperation he wrongly accuses a neighbor that he thought had picked it up in the street...and said some things that he regrets now...big time...

In the process of racing back home he went through a 40 mph speed camera at 60 mph.

A rather heated disscusion with his son who is also working full time on the job...and obvisouly fucks everything up for him as well.

That was all before he had to face me the next morning and explain the whole situation face to face....

[jon_s]

Damn! That is a bit of a mess!

I don't envy his night sleep before he told you!

[Jabba]

What can you really say to someone though...I just felt totally GUTTED for him and me rather than being angry...strange though it may seem...he is also kinda a friend as well...and thats what makes it all the more harder...

[1zippo1]

I see thing are moving along fine jabba (with some troubles of course) but the final product is really becoming something nice!!

Good proposition that TT made. I'm no materials expert but euhm I was thinking aobut it and well you could maybe use a a rubber strip (but I fear it will leave marks on the bumpers if the bumper & the rubber glide against eachother... ) and above that rubber strip another thing, maybe that stuff they put on the metal shit in those car park training parks... Euhm, I could be hugely wrong ofcourse :) but I'm sure you'll figure it out!!

[deth]

if you're really worried about fitting the cars in the garage, i've actually seen a friend of mine fit 3 cars in a 2 car garage thats similar to the size of yours buy parking them diagonally. the cars fit pretty tightly head on but diagonally there's space to spare. if you do it right you can put one behind the pillar, yet still he able to back them all out without needing to move the other cars.

[Jabba]

Loosing £200 would still fuck me off big time....its the wastage that hurts the most I think...you cant help but think of all the good things you could have done with the money...even giving it away is better than loosing it I think.

I just hope that none of them are taking advantage of the fact that they may think I have got many to throw away....anyway moving on....the bath that the other money was for should be here on Thursday....so there should be some interesting pictures shortly after I hope...

[adlinyusman]

sorry to hear about the plight jabba. I guess sometimes bad things happen to good people, and in this case it's a shitty experience for the both of you. It's even more unfortunate that the guy who lost the dosh isn't in a position to repay you. If he's an honest man, then making him work overtime to pay off what he owed you is good enough. I mean imagine if the situation was reversed...can't even imagine what's going through his mind when he had to tell you he lost the money.

[Jabba]

Please note the improvement in the ladder coombs and sons.

[TT]

Very nice.. the kitchen is basically ready I suppose and the bathing department is improving pretty quickly too :D

[Jabba]

Yes...and not as quickly as I would like...I dont think I will be in for Easter... :cry:

BTW TT...there will be some very nice brand new videos going up on the front page within the hour....

[TT]

Yes...and not as quickly as I would like...I dont think I will be in for Easter... :cry:

BTW TT...there will be some very nice brand new videos going up on the front page within the hour....

Dang, after Easter? :( to bad.. but better wait some more weeks and have all perfectly done than rush in with half of the final touches to be done..

As for the vids, I'm still trying to recover from yesterday LOL.. not sure I will be still awake :D but I know what to do tomorrow as soon as I wake up :D

[Jabba]

Yes exactly what I was thinking....better to be patient than have a rush job finished for Easter.

[DeMoN]

I am sorry to hear about your loss. It is true what you say, the worst thing of loosing money is not having it used it in somethings. So many times you avoid buying something because other things have priority, then is when the loss of money becomes a pain. Being able to buy somethign you wanted but didnt and then have your money stolen sucks.

The best way though, is to add comedy right? So here it goes:

I have similar tiles on my kitchen table Jabba! But I have something you dont...

http://demonwares.net/jw/kitchen.jpg

A drunk korean lol. This happened for new year. The party was in my hous and apparently, he relates, he went there to get a cup of coffey so that he could stay awake. He then said to himself "I'll wait for the coffey to cool a little," as you may have guessed... he waited TOO much.

[Jabba]

Yeh the money loss really stinks....I saw a new stove for £1200 on Friday that was almost the exact same amount that the builder lost.....exactly as you say....something I wouldn't have really considered but you cant help but think that you could have bought that with the money that was lost....

Luckily the old stove cleaned up pretty well but not quite as good as a new one.

Great photo DeMon I thought it may have been you at first....

[DeMoN]

Great photo DeMon I thought it may have been you at first....

LOL no no. I dont post pictures of myself, I keep private from the internet. It may sound weird, but I fear it even though it has been me close friend for years!

[Jabba]

Yes I know what you mean... I really only like to post pictures of myself in disguise.

[BADMIHAI]

Nice bathtub, J! I bet you can't wait to turn that baby on. :)

[Jabba]

I wouldnt mind turning a babe on.... in it as well..... :wink:

[BADMIHAI]

Well, I see it seats two, so it shouldn't be a problem. But knowing you, you'll have at least two chicks for the "grand opening", so one of them must sit on your lap.

[Jabba]

Yes the two seats were no accident...if I have any luck filling seat two...then hopefully I might be able to upload some pictures...via a sneeky ceiling cam...

[deth]

hahaha....jabba the voyeur :wink:

[Tomerville]

Jabba, your crib is SO tight! Will you ever be hosting any Jabba's World events? I think one would be awsome.

[DeMoN]

oo brotha! A Jabba Pimping thread soon to come!

[Jabba]

It seems to be taking painfully ages now...and it will be a blow not to be in for easter thats for sure...except for putting the cars in the garage thats going to be it for a while sadly....until the bank of Jabba recovers that is...

[Jabba]

Yep...just got to be patient I guess...something that I am not very good at....I am thinking of taking the cars over for easter...but then its a real pain to take them back again to where I am living now...but then again I wouldnt want to leave them their on their own...no matter how secure they maybe.

[Jabba]

LOL.

If they are safe where they are now I would have keept them there until their new home was ready...


We are just to a-like brembo....its scary.... 8) 8) 8)

[callen]

coming alone very nicely indeed! have u done ne further research for the garage interior? so the bmw is urs or the previous owners? if its not urs whats ur daily driver jabba?

[Jabba]

Yep not including politics...you lost me on the rest of your sentence dude...

[Jabba]

coming alone very nicely indeed! have u done ne further research for the garage interior? so the bmw is urs or the previous owners? if its not urs whats ur daily driver jabba?

Yep the bimmer is indeed my daily driver.

[1zippo1]

I really like your kitchen. The black/grey stone with the white wood furniture goes really well...

That bathtub is very nice. Tell us about it after you have taken it for a testdrive (well it hasn't got a steering wheel but what else could you call it :P )

[Jabba]

LOL.

No politics are something we dont share the same opinion on.... :D



No.....but I still love you anyway :wink:

German cars are probably my second favourite...as long as its nothing British...apart from Lotus of course.... :wink:

That bathtub is very nice. Tell us about it after you have taken it for a testdrive (well it hasn't got a steering wheel but what else could you call it :P )

Thanks Tom Cat Zippo....I was unsure about the colours for the kitchen at first...but since it was finished it has grown on me loads...

Cant wait to try the tub out as you say...even better with a young lady of course.... :P

[Jabba]

And that red lotus you owned looked great you shouldnt have sold that.. :P

To be honest I was very gutted when I just dug out the picture to post...it seems such a time-less design...I do very much regret selling it now :(

[Jabba]

Yep indeed...but to be honest...if you had a choice between taking a Diablo and a Lotus out...what would you take ??? I cant think of any circumstances where I would use it now...except for a daily driver....but then theres the M3 CSL for that...droooooooooooooool...and you got a couple more seats as well with that beauty....

[1zippo1]

Ah damnit, you made me dreaming away again :P

Whenever you mention the fact that you consider a CSL to be your daily driver I just have to watch a video of it again or search up some info about it.

Went looking on the BMW site this time. Couldn't find it in the Belgian site, nor in the BWM Great Britain site:
http://www.bmw.co.uk/apm/new_bmw/choose_your_bmw/0,3031,1156_1484__,00.html
even the new 6 series cabrio is mentioned, but no csl.

So I went to the source, the German site. And they surely have some nice stuff on the CSL. Go and take a look at:
http://www.bmw.de/de/produkte/automobiles/bmw_m/m3_csl/index.html
don't forget to click the link next to the big grey M (brings up a new window with lots of info on the CSL)

I just had to download all of the pics and other stuff... There's a screensaver to, with some nice pics.

Man oh man, I love that car...

No I just got to find something to clean up all the drool on my desk :oops:

Then you have those awesome racing slicks for those beautifull rainy days! LOL
Well, you could buy new tires, but whats the fun in that?
House is coming along nicely Jabba! As others have said, the kitchen looks great!
Can't wait to see it finished.

Sorry to mention this Zippo....I posted this a while back....and I am gutted to say that it is now sold....this was exactly what I was looking for as well...as it even had air... :(

me and jabba can agree on ferrai, but dammit i hate bmw

btw, why easter?

[Jabba]

Easter is a four day holiday here in England...and that would be very helpful during the moving in period.

[coombsie66]

The improvement in the loft ladder is very impressive!!!!! Looks like it could hold the weight of an adult now!! :wink:
That CSL looks sooo good still, those alcantara bucket seats just look so inviting!!
All looks to be coming along well, that stove did clean up nicely, when are you planning on moving now?

[Jabba]

Or even a Jabba....

Post Easter I think in terms of actually sleeping there I think.

Oh, must have missed it when you posted that. Can't remember it at least...

That is one fine looking M3 CSL and IMO the price was pretty reasonable to. It only had 3500 miles so that's as good as new.

I found one CSL on sale in Belgium, but they were asking much more for it. 90.000 euros, and the new price in Belgium is only 86.000euros.
http://www.automatch.be/N_autozoekertjes_detail.asp?action=show&id=192686

I wonder how much CSL's were produced again... not much so finding one isn't so easy. Certainly not a black one with aircon.

[Imre]

Csl`s were made 500 and 422 were sold to UK.Sorry for OT

[Jabba]

Certainly not a black one with aircon.

Yep I think I missed out on a really good chance there....I think black is great...either that or the light blue M3 colour.

[Jabba]

Although saying that theres a page of them for sell here including a black one with automatic A/C with less miles and a lower price.

If anyone wants to buy it for me....I have tracked it down to this dealer....

its under used cars then "M" cars

Its got my name all over it...simply marvelous....

There seem to be quite a few on sale indeed. No carbon black one's. All saphire black CSL's. Crap, I was planning no to go on JW till the evening. Got to go back to my books. see you later jabba

[Jabba]

I would be happy to settle for a saphire black CSL Zippo....good luck with the studying...sweet dreams about the CSL.

Damn....only just got your PM...how great minds think alike....

[stradale]

Sorry to hear the house is not going as quickly as hoped. :(

About the CSL, I think it's wonderful. The engine noise alone is to die for. It looks very menacing in black, I like it. The only thing with black is you can't see any contrast with the black CF roof. There's quite a number of CSLs for sale, although the rest is all grey. Which wheels do you like better, Jabba? The ones on the black CSL or the ones on the grey CSL (the one with POA)?

[TT]

The only thing with black is you can't see any contrast with the black CF roof


That's IMO the best part! Only hardcore enthusiast will understand yours is a CSL!
The only one I saw in real life was black and IMO it's just perfect :D

[stradale]

I didn't mention it because others might find it cool or helpful to identify a CSL, but because I think it's cool. If I were to buy a CSL I wouldn't give a damn whether the majority of people could tell the difference between a CSL, a normal M3 or a 3 series coupé.

[jon_s]

Jabba, I have seen the CSL at park lane in the flesh! I had some mates visit at the weekend........no surprises for guessing what we went to look at!

Poped into the BMW dealership, as it was the only one we did not feel like plonkers going into lol!

[SFDMALEX]

Damn Jabba. A CSL as a daily driver? Looks like we got similar blood running through our veins. Why not a 360CS? :twisted:

[Jabba]

To be honest I don't put anything in the boot of my current 3 series...the air con is important though as I am often stuck in traffic jams...the tires in the wet....well thats half the fun isn't it....and if they are really that bad...then I am sure I can get them changed over...

The 360CS would be a bit too "flash" for business use...where the bimmer to the non car expert (most of my customers) doesn't stand out as looking as expensive as a Ferrari if you know what I mean....also the Bimmer has the rear seats that I do use sometimes in my current car.

Sadly the new house and modifications has exhausted the poor bank of Jabba for now...so no CSL for me just yet I am afraid.... :(

[Jabba]

Yep...I have used a 355 GTS as a daily driver before...and lets just say....it wasnt very good for buisiness....

[coombsie66]

Thats why my dads bin through the beemer M series, they r quick, classy, and when you turn up for a meeting with clients it doesnt make them think 'we're paying him too much!!!!!' lol

Yep, good point. I think that's also why most CSL's are in silvergrey. I like to see the contrast between the paint and the black CF too. I've only seen CSL pics of it in silver, black and dark grey. I wonder what a blue one would look like... I like blue on a car. Silvergrey is nice, but IMO you see it to often nowedays.

[Jabba]

Very slowly getting there...but at least getting there I guess.

Hopefully this white unit and in fact that whole room will make a nice place to keep car models in....

http://www.supercarshowdown.co.uk/house/709.JPG

[stradale]

It would be ideal for models I think. Also the jacuzzi would be ideal for models, be it a different kind. :wink: Nice to see the work progressing steadily. BTW, is it the picture or is the floor in the living room waxed halfway?

[Jabba]

BTW, is it the picture or is the floor in the living room waxed halfway?

Glad you could at least see the difference....it was a before and after photo....the rest is being finished by the weekend I hope....

[stradale]

It was worth waxing it, taking into account the difference is even more obvious in real life.

Just had a thought: if you would put glass doors in front of the white cupboard it would be even better for your models, because you wouldn't have to dust them as often.

[Jabba]

Yep...good idea indeed...I guess they will have to be custom made though... :(

[coombsie66]

Looking gud jabba, that floor has come up really really nice. Im a big fan of proper wood floors (not plastic ikia shite!!! that lifts and warps after 2 weeks!! lol).
That jaccusi is gunna be big pimpin for sure!

[stradale]

That doesn't automatically mean it has to be expensive, because judging from the pictures a simple glass window in front of it with hinges small and inconspicuous would create the best effect IMO. That way only the glass needs to be cut to specific size and the hinges mounted to them along with maybe a small magnet to keep it closed.

[Jabba]

Yep youre right...but at the moment its all these small jobs that are adding up and taking the most time to sort out.... :|

[Jabba]

(not plastic ikia shite!!! that lifts and warps after 2 weeks!! lol).


Yeh thats what I thought I was getting...but the proper stuff is alot different thats for sure...and it feels great to walk on....(very solid)

[TT]

Wood floors are the best and if you take good care of them, they will last forever :D as for the models, as already pointed out, a glass to protect them is for sure a good idea :D I don't "protect" then and so dust is always a problem.. but I'm sure there are many other things to take care of before :D

[Jabba]

Thanks brembo for your interest as always....depending on how you look at it...you could say the inside is proabably about 70 % done and the outside...about 60 % (to tidy up the garden more than anything)

I am proably going to go for an easter move in depending on the weather...even if its not completely finished....as I am really getting pissed off waiting for everything to be done now...

[tanelvali]

Auuuuuu... envy is speaking in meeeee..... Still. congrats on the house and damn, if you can afford all that then YOU MUST get a F50. and pretty soon!!!!!!!! :) :) This is very interesting topic here, but so much congrats posts that its kinda disturbing.. :) I'll be waiting you to post some pics of that gokart racetrack, when you actually build it.

:mrgreen:

[Jabba]

Thanks...and good luck with your own project....and watch out for more pictures coming soon....

Will you use the fireplace? I say this because I belive it's a bit dangerous with so much wood around...I had a fireplace in my old house and sometimes sparks fell on the floor and that can cause a fire if you have a wood floor... :?

[Jabba]

Its a good point...a real fire is great and all but comes with alot of work and mess...(too much for my lazy ass anyway)...might go for a closed in log burner eventually...but for now I am hoping the central heating will be good enough...also getting a bit warmer in the UK right now....

[dropot2]

In case you want to make a real fire perhaps you could protect your floor from the sparks putting a glass door in front of the fireplace...

[yc_andy]

how much for that house?? :twisted: :fist:

[TT]

LOL andy... not sure this is the best way to enter such a topic.. you ask in a very direct way how much Jabba paid for his house and even post "the finger"? :?:

[Jabba]

Yes how rude indeed...and all the information is in the thread anyway.

[fishfreek]

The screen infront of the fire place should keep most flying embers contained.

The floor really cleaned up nice.

[TT]

Don't forget that in a forum it's sometimes to much to ask the members to actually read the text that goes with pics :D

[fishfreek]

DOnt justify it. If someone wants to post in a 27 page thread they should have the decency to look thru the entire post.

[TT]

LOL I was kidding :D of course I always hope that somebody that posts in a 27 pages thread at least read most of the rest... but as we see everyday, for some ppl it's to much to spend more than 5 second on every page

[Jabba]

Or they should if they are going to ask a question that has already been answered in the thread.

[Jabba]

So you can put the TV in the fireplace... connect the DVD, and you got it! A "real" fire without any danger around...

Probably wont give off much heat though.

[jon_s]

HAHAH! Progress is being made!

That is always good to see. I can understand your frustration though. However, it will be more than worth the wait when it is finished!!

[corvette97]

hey jabba, and the tub???

[corvette97]

forget i wrote that the last time that i saw this forums i didnt let all the pics to load :shock:

[jwatts77038]

:P

[Jabba]

The wait is over brembo....

Not much to show you as the floors have just had an extra coat of wax on them....should be a bit more done in the bathrooms tommorow....also a few bits and pieces I am starting to collect to decorate the place with (thanks to deth).

Nice Ferrari teasers ;)

And well, I can almost smell that wooden floor :D

[Jabba]

The quickest reaction time so far TT....amazing...

I wouldnt be surprised if you could smell those floors....I am not saying they are giving off alot of fumes...but lets just say that the house would be a dream for a glue sniffer to stay in right now...

[TT]

HAHHAAH I bet :D

[Jabba]

I can just imagine them all locking the doors and windows trying to stop the fumes escaping....maybe we should ask the resident JW drug addict for his opinion...shady view...

You took the words right out of my mouth! :twisted:
