Still in Vegas. Its a terrible job really! I'll miss it when I'm out in March though. Can't think of many jobs that pay you to do this.

Been to LA before so no plans to drive out there. You can loose a lot of money very quickly here as some guys have found out!

Congratulations Lewis on doing something productive with your weekend off. Unfortunately I did no such thing when I was out there, this is literally the only photo I have from my weekend off in Vegas:

Also, congratulations for your upcoming promotion to Mister. Good luck big guy and don't be a stranger!

Fantastic stuff Lewis, looks like you are having a ball out there! :D Thinking about a holiday doing similar next year. My mate emigrated to LA this time last year, just takes a drive down to Vegas the odd weekend as if it was Blackpool or something :lol: Pete, that is epic :P Reminds me of the last stag do I was on, a few random pictures that I don't recall taking, including one of the bathroom in my hotel room :D

You win the pic contest :D :lol: :lol:

 

Seriously though Lou, ace pics there mate!

 

I only spent a night there, last year after the LA motorshow trip with BMW/MINI, so basically ate some steak, did some work, got drunk until silly o clock, recovered at Hash House a go go (from Man Versus Food), hit the outlet mall for an hour and caught our flight home - didn't even gamble a cent.

 

Also managed to visit a dam, the one that powers the Moses Lake Carbon fibre plant (that makes the CF for i3 and i8) ang got right inside the turbine as it was under maintenance - very cool place and James Bond esque.

 

Looking fwd to seeing some more pics from your time out there.

I have absolutely no idea where that was taken, it was a heavy night out with some seasoned drinkers! (Wullie, Rocky and Spud to name a few)

 

Well up for a track day, there are loads around and about our area mate. Is it dirty Manchester where you are moving to?

Enjoy the rest of your time there - it's been 10 years since I was on the West Coast! When's the move South happening?

Good luck with everything. When you're settled let me know and I can give you a tour of Manchester if you'd like. Failing that, we can poke a few people and get a run in Wales sorted!
