              I'm actually emotional reading all your replies, how strange! It's so nice speaking to you guys again. 😳

              Gonna go on a render spree this weekend...watch out!!

              So what does this trimble buy out mean for us? How will it affect the future of sketchup?

              lol Pastafarianism? Man I've missed this place.

                    But I didn't had the guts to ask. Glad everything is fine now. 😍

                        Welcome back.
                        You've probably already found the couple of threads relating to the Trimble acquisition, but I thought to make you aware that the discussion has significant length.

                        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                          The last conversations we were having were on Urban Farming. Were you able to proceed on that Oli?

                            Hi Dale, yes everything went great with that although I had to defer my last module until March. I was juggling so many different responsibilities I just needed the time off to sort my life out. So I'm not a fully qualified arhcitect yet, just a year to go now.

                              I am a great believer in having as many skills as possible, and it looks like you aren't having difficulty with that judging from those pics. Do you do it all, mechanical, body and Paint?
                              I also believe that you get a better outcome when you put one foot in front of the other and go where the path, and heart lead.
                              Good on you Oli

                                Trust me when I go I'm going out with a bang!! You won't have to ask! πŸ˜†

                                With regards to tree lines I have a massive new collection I'm working on...so keep an eye out. I was surprised the current tree lines had tens of thousands of downloads!! If only I charged Β£1 per download πŸ˜†

                                Well here's what I've been up to:

                                I've been busy with other opportunities outside of architecture/3D work. I started my own business with my brother trading and customizing BMWs, it's always been a passion of ours and we kept getting enquiries from potential customers after seeing the quality of our work, so yeah we registered a company and got cracking! I know it probably won't interest most of you but here are some photos of a couple of jobs we've worked on and my own personal project car. Funny how life can throw so many opportunities at you even when you think it can't get any worse. I'm certainly not ditching architecture and design, this is just a side project that we enjoy and helps pays the bills!

                                I also went on a fantastic skiing holiday in March to Zermatt in Switzerland, I will post photos in another thread because the images are just breathtaking. I did a great panorama image at 12,000 feet up a mountain! I've just got so much to talk about I don't know where to start!!!

                                My project car:

                                  Great to have you back, think we chatted a few times. Nice to see another UK-er around!

                                    I do most of the body work but we commission an expert 3rd party for the technical OEM retrofits/electrics such as xenon headlights, integrated sat nav and media, cruise control etc..we can basically offer people original BMW extras that BMW themselves will not retrofit to their cars. The amount of people who have rang me saying "oh i really regret not specifying xenons" is unbelievable, so they come to us. I was the first person in the UK to retrofit xenons into the 1 series coupe and all other derivatives, BMW refuse to do this job for some strange reason and everyone thought it was impossible, mwahh ha ha ha! When we trade cars we also offer all the factory extras at the point of sale, so we keep our customers even when they have driven away. Also offer full drivetrain modifications, suspensions setups, limited slip differentials ( πŸ’š ), engine remapping and tuning.

                                    I learnt a long time ago that if you do something you enjoy you will always succeed, even just within yourself.

                                        cool stuff on the car end, Oli..if I had a way to get out of architecture (I'm working on it), I'd do it in a heartbeat. Cars are also a big interest of mine πŸ˜„ http://4amracing.com/

                                        i was in zermatt last year as well.. beautiful place! https://vimeo.com/22030078
