    DSLR For the Mrs?

    Hello there camera folks.. the mrs wants a ‘good camera’ to use whilst out and about exploring Berlin. I think it will basically need to be relatively small for a DSLR, and have interchangeable lenses as I reckon she’ll want a prime, something similar to a kit lens and maybe something with a...

    Best VPN…. iPad, All rounder…

    So, I‘ve just left the country. I’m currently living in a hotel. I need a VPN so that my iPad thinks I’m in the UK and Netflix doesn’t suck, and amazon prime works. Recommendations? I know f**k all about this stuff, it’s basically where my geek knowledge stops.. so yeah, assemble @Yorkshire...

    8 Days, 1955 Miles, Scotland Bike Trip (V.Pic Heavy)

    So we're all stuck at home bored, and I've been meaning to do this for some time. I saw something from @Daniel about wanting to do this journey in the v8's with his friends, so I thought I'd post this up so he could have a good look. The plan was simple, ride the bike to the top of Scotland and...

    E90 330i - Third Blue Motor On The Bounce

    So I went and a new car up from @Sir_Dave today, I seem to have a thing for buying the same colour cars one after another... I may as well do the background as I haven't really posted much car related stuff since getting rid of the Silver Grey 650i.... So after having 4 silver cars, I went and...

    Insurance, they're not all bad.

    So, my insurance renewal is due on the 28th Feb. I'm currently with AA insurance. They write to me with a surprisingly reasonable quotation, however I'm about to change cars. I phone up this morning and give them the details of the new vehicle and ask if they can do anything. To their credit...

    Installed iOS 12, won’t connect to Mac.

    Ok so I’m going to need a proper apple geek here.... Got my new iPhone XS, in order to backup and sync I had to update the OS on my MacBook as I was running Yosemite and iOS 12 doesn’t sync with an OS that old. Anyway, so I do the OS update and now the iPhones are totally unresponsive. Like...

    Who's bringing what? Other Marques @CSF..

    So we all know we'll have some wonderful Clios of all generations.. a few may be turbo'd, others supercharged, and maybe even one with a Megane engine in? .. @dann2707 ? But we also have some cracking non Renault metal on here these days, so who's brining something special? I'll likely be...

    Very Simple CCTV?

    After a spot of vandalism last night, which seems rather targeted, I want some manner of CCTV. The thing is, I don't want all this fancy ass stuff. What I'd like is a wired camera (so I haven't got charge/add batteries) that records onto a large memory card (or even small hard drive) on a loop...

    4 Days, 952 Miles - South Western Tour

    Ok, so another one of these from me. I had a few days of holiday left over (our year expires end of September), as did a colleague who also rides bikes. He’d never toured before, so we decided the best way to make use of these surplus days was to jump on the bikes and head south west. All the...

    Finally Cleaned The BMW Today

    And not the z4.. After 9 Days touring Europe on this beast it was hanging, thought I'd take a few driveway shots and try to capture some of the nice little details, oh and one photo of my exhaust, that took forever to get back to stainless finish with autosol..! Triple and Finnis...

    HELP, iPhone 6 Dead.

    Anyone got any suggestions? Some time in the last hour my phone died. Literally died. No life in the screen, buttons, anything. I'm 99.99999% sure it hadn't run out of battery, so it just fucked off to the land of nowhere. Any ideas anyone? @Tom

    Samsung TV "Gone Bang" - Options?

    Anything I can do about this? I'm going to guess no, but it's only just under two years old. Bought from PC world/currys at lakeside. Is it just a standard 1 year warranty and after that tough titties? Not mistreated in any way etc. It was just on, then randomly there was a big bang and it's...

    Tech Help: Charging Causes Laptop to Slow?

    Right geeks, time to earn your CS keep. This one has me stumped. Just been given a "new" work machinie, it's a right POS, weighs about 20 tonnes but has a decent spec. Before I got it, it got a brand new SSD put in, and a full fresh install of windows. (i7 16GB of RAM etc etc). It's a Dell...

    Conference calls/Video conference?

    Something I've randomly been asked to look into, but our company are looking at getting a conference call facility and ideally, something along the lines of being able to screen share etc. Can this be done without landlines? Has any one had any good experience of specific software etc...

    Boring Summer Evening Snaps

    Took the mrs for an evening blast down to whitstable last night, got a bit of fish and chips and walked along the beach. Also managed to get the car s**t all over and kill half of the SE's flying insect population... :cool: Combine that with being bored this afternoon and finishing in the...

    Winter Wheels Off, Summers on.

    After gally moaning 24/7, I decided to sort this out after work today. Bloody hard work with the wheels being upstairs and heavy as b****cks! Anyway, last shot on the winters: And a few generally terrible shots on the summers (I'll be going out for some pics with a few other z4's Sunday...

    "Working From Home" = Clean Z4

    I finally picked up a new Nilsfick Pressure washer last week for a pretty decent price, (never had my own at home before, always nick one or use the unit's one) and I'd been eager to see if it was as good as the Karcher. Worked from home today so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to give it...

    Utterly Filthy Zed.. Last clean of the year: (Winter wheel pics added)

    So I'm currently doing heavy mileage for work, 150 a day, most of which are on the m25 (the road that makes your car more filthy than any other). The car was so dirty I washed every panel twice, bumpers three times, a few recent down-pours had cleaned it up a bit, but it was hanging. 100% the...

    Z4 Before Winter

    So, today I braved the cold and cleaned the car one last time before it (probably) goes into winter mode. I was planning to do a panel test with the AF Sprit Wax once I'd finished cleaning it, unfortunately it'd got dark by the time I was onto drying :banghead: so I'll be doing that this...

    Three Cars Introduced in Your Year of Birth

    You have to choose three cars, introduced in your year of birth. For me 1988. Pics necessary, as this is a media thread after all. Right then, after a quick thread change, here's mine. It's harder now as they have to have been introduced in your year of birth (as opposed to just being produced...

    High Roller Steak Night Pt.2 - POSTPONED - NEW DATE BEING SORTED

    Hi all, Date is up for discussion so feel free to throw some ideas out if you want to. Basically, the last one worked so well, we're just going to duplicate it. I will, as last time, stress this is NOT a cheap night, the meal is 100% a case of sit down, eat and drink as much as you want...

    Z4 Quick Clean & More

    Working from home today, so it seemed rude not to give the car a quick wash, and fit something I've had lying around for a while but have been putting off doing (due to it being something you can get very wrong) - the wind deflector. The zed was quite dirty (not that it shows on a silver...

    You, In Your Soft-Top - Pics.

    Right, we've had a laugh about making this before, and Bobby J's photo inspired me to go ahead and do it. The Rules: You may have one photo of your car, and one photo of you in/driving it. This must be in the same post. No more, no less. No "here's my old car, no pics of me driving...

    Custom Braided Lines, Who?

    I've seen this mentioned on here many times in the past but now can't seem to dig up what I'm looking for.... Anyone know of any companies (local to me would be better, but not essential) that do custom brake lines? I'd like to get to work on fitting some brembo's to the BMW, but I need...

    Z4 Spring Clean (Silver Version)

    After seeing Chris' the other day, I thought I'd better give mine a bit of a tidy up. I gave it a quick going over at TheEvilGiraffe's the other day before the harlow meet and took 1000 miles of Lake district dirt off of it, but the 50 odd miles we did on salty roads at some fun speeds made it...
