Close on 2m length needed yeah, for stability at speed. Room isn't very big so its a deceptive photo.

My highlights (not very high) include:
  • Makita 4 stroke leaf blower
  • Trek x-Calibre 7 mountain bike
  • Loads of un-necessary Amazon purchases
  • Inflatable tent - my wife bought it, I paid

When I don't sleep well or wake up too early lately I've taken to online shopping in the small hours, mainly all sorts of random crap off amazon. I keep thinking "I've got enough stuff now, be good to have a few months of strong saving", then an hour later "ooh, I really need this <insert random book, tool, or other non-essential item>". :x

How are you finding the pizza oven? I'm tempted to buy the wood fired version.
How about not having a sig at all?

Its great, I'd go dual fuel though, it never hurts to have the option.

All the time in making the Pizza is making the dough, they cook in about 1 min 30 but you need to turn them so it doesn't burn half as the heats at the back of the oven.

Go for it though, you won't regret it.

I've never cooked with gas in my life so that's all a bit alien to me :lol:
Will most likely order one once the weather gets a bit better though.

A pair of Sparco Monza Lesmo.

Wanted something that was driving-oriented without going full thin-soled RACING BOOTIES.

These seem like a decent compromise. I shall assess their H&T suitability LATER TODAY.

As they are made by Sparco, I thought I would go with OMP.

DESPITE there being a clear Tippex-ready-channel. Would be too easy....

Marangoni Heron would get my vote. Although I'm sad to see it looks like you can't buy them anymore :(
