I was looking for a cheap car to drive through the winter. Then a friend at work should sell this baby for a neighbour. Fell in love instantly. Not exactly winter car not cheap. Overshot the budget by about 10.000 euro 
but damn itās nice
Finally a bit sun, hereās the young son after his test drive

Had a long day at work today, was a bit tired going in.
DL felt good in the warm up. Up till 130 kg was DOH. 145 mix.
The top singles was hard, so only did 2 instead of 3.
Told myself that if I did 9 reps with 3 plates I could ditch the finisher.
The last 2 was uglyyyyyy but up they went. 122 and 110 was fine.
Front squats were good and strong.
Iāll take the rep PR in this totally fatigued state and after dieting for 2 months ā¦ power of the Viking Power builder Protocol

170s are gonna be right around the corner man! Seems like everyone is jumping to a new number in the second slot right now! Thatās awesome. If I go into the 150s itāll be crazy. Probably gonna happen as I was 160.0 today. Thatāll be lighter than when I started lifting, and I had next to no muscle then lol. Keep it up man. Bring the fire

Thanks Rizla, Iām pretty happy with it, in about a month Iāll see if it has paid off.
And the Mazda is in great condition, except the rubber tubing along the windows, it leaks waterā¦ and itās been raining ever since I bought the car.
Good to see you back, hope youāll keep up the spirit and positive vibes.
