Another north-westerner! (y)

Eibachs improve the side profile looks dramatically. I've had Sportlines on mine for well over a decade now. Welcome aboard too!

Not quite the same scenario as yourself, but I nabbed an Evo VI with low 300s in terms of power, whilst I also had the 182. They were chalk and cheese in terms of driving. The 182 I can push to a point where it makes it known that you're getting close to that limit. The Evo just smashed a...

Probably too late now - but was there any evidence of when the last time the key fob battery was replaced? Takes like 10 seconds to swap it over and they cost peanuts. Would be such a shame to scrap a clearly working car (for the most part!) over what could be a very simple fix.

Love the A-10 - such a focused, dedicated aircraft. Makes me laugh how the US military keeps trying to kill it off. Yet they role over and admit defeat that there is nothing else in their inventory that comes close to what it does. I read somewhere that even the exhaust gases are mainly cooler...

FFS - gutting!

@McGherkin - you weren't kidding at the expense of DCS DLCs. Saw a pop-up in the Steam store this morning and to have all DLC enabled, you're looking at over £2,300. Definitely baller spec!

I'm completely the opposite. Multiplayer these days is akin to a visit to the dentist without anaesthetic. The 'middle-ground' of decent players is often non-existent - instead relying on cannon-fodder newbies/brainless idiots or those at the other extreme - credit-card-unlock-kiddies treating...

I just couldn't cope doing that. My days of ramping up the difficulty to test both myself and my patience have long gone! I just default everything to 'Normal' these days - mainly because that was the difficulty that the devs created as a baseline for the game. It will be entirely achievable...

That's the sad state of things today. A shame really. I've only ever bought from new once (the 182) and it was a good experience - nice to tick the box on it. But I'd be in no rush to do it again, assuming 2nd prices weren't as mad as what they currently are.

So the consensus of this is..... Cancel all your orders for new cars and buy something 2nd hand instead? ;)

I can't imagine the Australian sunny climate helps the yellowing headlights in anyway!

One of the managers at work had one of these in the early 2000s. Told me to give it a go, but insisted to drive it with the windows down in order to appreciate the V6 noise. :)

There's a lot to be said about enjoying time with your dad. My dad was a mechanic by trade and I would have loved to have spent time tinkering with a car build at some point. Some things are worth far more than financial cost or gain at times.

The rears are a nightmare for this. Thankfully our driveway is flat and I just leave it in-gear with the handbrake off after I've washed it OR - have been driving in particularly heavy rain. I don't know of much else that you can do that you aren't already doing?

As an example of CAZ - I may need to pay £10 per day just to nip down and see my parents from June next year. Officially, it's saying I don't, but that might change?!

Good point. On top of that, campers are getting (or will definitely soon) hit by the clean air charges in a number of major cities. These charges are going to be a significant deterrent to people wanting a camper for occasional use.

Ignore the money side of it and whether or not it will make you £££££ in the future. That's something you have zero control over. You said yourself that you have a massive soft spot for it - that in itself makes retaining it worthwhile. You're qualifying as a mechanic - so what appears a little...

Granted - a good number of console titles migrate well to the PC, but unfortunately their control systems do not. If I can't even 'back-peddle' through the menus using the decades-old Escape key - then I'm immediately wary. Some games make an amazing transition to K&M whereas other flatly...

Welcome! Will be good to hear what plans you have for it?

I'm always surprised at how tall these engines appear to be. Even without the inlet on top of @Jon Wright 's picture - they are still lanky-looking things!

Welcome! They do get under your skin and having had mine since new, it will take a LOT for me to part with it! Of course, you had the additional 7.4bhp power increase mod of buying one in Black Gold too? ;)

Me neither yet, though it's the only quest that I have outstanding. Ticked off another two Steam achievements over Christmas. Managed to get to MR26 and am currently about a quarter of the way to MR27 with the help of those boosters that I got from Day 2,000. I also completed the 6 bounties in...

I've delayed my first (still!) playthrough of this game until as Andy (@SharkyUK) says, the remaster is released. I believe that it's Q2 of this year? The XBox GOTY version is listed as £15.99 on cdkeys, but is currently out of stock.

Please tell me that you can fly this in multiplayer with someone else acting as your RIO? 😊 Would be superb to have four players running this in wingman formation - but that would assume that you're all up to speed on how the bloody thing flies in the first place?! I got mentally battered way...

A bit random and overdue, but I've got an AirPod Pro box if you want that measuring still?

I very nearly jumped into the world of owning a Mac back in '93 when I saw that the library at uni was setup with a large number of them to do work on. I don't think until that point, I'd seen a functioning portrait setup - but this clearly worked. Perhaps the only reason why I didn't follow it...
