    4k Monitor or better 1080p monitor?

    I know people have some issues with Iiyama's - but I liked the ones I've had in the past. Here's a pre-order one, due imminently... https://www.scan.co.uk/products/27-iiyama-gb2760qsu-b1-g-master-red-eagle-amd-freesync-144hz-2560x1440-tn-1ms-stereo-speakers-dp-hdm

    4k Monitor or better 1080p monitor?

    Go middle of the road? 1440 - I've been using that for several years. 4K gaming doesn't look good (to me) unless the screen is massive. Text and the like is just a chore to read.

    squeaking noise from wiper arms or wiper motors

    Nabbed from another user - it's underneath the bulkhead around here. With the wiper mechanism out, you can easily see it.

    Marple. Four 182’s?

    Worse - Ashton-under-Lyne!

    Marple. Four 182’s?

    They are in Marple. They can afford all those cars over there.... ;)

    In 5 years time

    Lol - similar with the Megane R.26R. Remember the time when people mocked and pointed fingers at a fat-assed French car with a set of monkey-bars for the back seat and a perspex rear window? Renault couldn't give them away. Then the motoring press got their hands on one and overnight the kudos...

    Spot on - perfect! (y) Cheers, D.

    In 5 years time

    This is a good topic and one that I have thought about a fair bit. Not so much from the investment angle - I'm definitely in the camp that the car is there to be driven - but what's likely to happen over the next several years. As I've mentioned before - mine is my daily. And I've been the sole...

    Didn't like that either. Must be something I'm doing wrong. Happy for you to have a look, though I understand why the forum won't allow the attachment of XLSX files.

    Gearbox f4r-730

    @NorthloopCup is the resident gearbox guru - as @Radugns mentioned earlier. Certainly worth sending him a message.

    Got it on the radar - might buy it soon. Amazed at how just small an install these games are.

    Going to try that tomorrow! Thanks. 👍

    My Late 2011 MacBook Pro

    You ‘might’ find the memory amount soldered onto the motherboard - though with a 2011 model, you might get away with it. Reformatting the MAC couldn’t be easier. Have you got an existing Apple ID already? I can talk it through with you tomorrow if that helps? :)

    Punto GT

    Really don't see the appeal in that. Sure, being pushed back into your seat from a standing start would be great fun - but it would get old quite quickly if everything is managed for you.

    Punto GT

    I was going to tag you in yesterday, @Gaz_ ! GT Fwends! :LOL: Totally agree with you on the straight-line machine - they really didn't like corners in standard trim. And those 14s were a mixed blessing - spinning up well for acceleration, but also spinning up a little too well on anything but...

    The lament of Battlefield... (a semi-serious rant/whinge)

    That to me is actually a good thing. It stops the vehicle wh0res firing with impunity with the off chance of getting a kill through splash damage. Going back to BF2142 - you had two different walker units - one for each faction. The small token of design genius that DICE put into them is that...

    Punto GT

    Mine was officially the metallic turquoise colour, as below. Not a picture of my car, but you get the idea - in some lighting it looked like snot. As for calling it turquoise - it was definitely NOT blue of any form and a shade of green all day long. Mine was R-reg and I got it on 3-year...

    Punto GT

    Must have been registered around the same time as mine with a reg like that - R720 KTD. Had mine for 6.5 years and loved it. Common faults I had were alternators being baked with help from the turbo proximity and poor paintwork. Mine continued to bubble around the boot-lock despite having it...

    Thanks for that, but it won't find any instance of 18264. It does mention that I might be trying to do this on a Protected Sheet, but I'm pretty sure it isn't. I was just after transferring the table contents from the link below into Excel...

    Excel help - ideally before I resort to Hulk Smash and murder...

    Right - I'm clearly being stupid here! I've found a Worldpay webpage that lists many field and format types that I'm trying to import into Excel. It imports fine, apart from a few expected formatting issues. The obvious one comes under one where it says field length of 1-50. Excel in its...

    Ace Combat 7

    Took a punt on it after having the game sat on my Steam wishlist for a while and noticed the Deluxe Edition being 67% off at £23. I've always liked the semi-serious arcadey approach to games like these - almost like the classic Sega Afterburner game with a bit of back-story tagged onto it...

    The lament of Battlefield... (a semi-serious rant/whinge)

    It was a soap-box/on-my-high-horse bicker more than anything. 😊 It just got under my skin really about how the format of the game was so enjoyable, balanced and thought out. Yet over time it has become a mess, even if you negate the arguments of paid-for boosters, battlepacks, etc - there are...

    The lament of Battlefield... (a semi-serious rant/whinge)

    What has happened? Where did it all go wrong? As an avid BF player from the original days of the BF1942 Tobruk demo, I've seen the series develop, evolve and progress over the years. The pinnacle (for me) without doubt was BF2142, where they balanced game progression with worthy upgrades...

    The Gaming Thread (General Gaming Jibba Jabba)

    Is the Origins one set in Egypt any good? I got it and the season pass cheap and having not really played any AC game before - was mainly interested in the background setting. Does look good and is a hardware punisher apparently - even for the later cards with the bells & whistles switched on.

    Console/wheel recommendations

    Does seem to be affecting the prices a fair bit! Got my G920 2nd hand for £150 and it had hardly been used. People being kept in is bumping up the demand, clearly.

    The unicorn jc5

    It could well be @incy-spider - though I couldn't honestly confirm the oil without going through the receipts. What I will say (and have said in the past) that dropping and replacing the oil in the gearbox as an occasional service item clearly does work wonders. Yes, it has never been on track...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    If you're happy to focus more on the 'racing' part of well, erm... racing - I'd definitely recommend checking out Assetto Corsa Competizione. It lacks cars with it being focused on one racing series and as a knock-on, circuits also. But what it has in there is brilliant - the audio especially...
