You'd probably get a lot more money for it in standard trim too. The whole 90's era was probably the pinnacle of mainstream cars, from an array of manufacturers - each wanting to promote and out-do the other. Just look at the array of JDM stuff from that era too - amazing bits of kit, that we...

I read that there's over 200 million players, globally for this. Bloody impressive...

Great project! Can't remember the last time I saw a 9 - let alone a Turbo one. What were the book figures on these for BHP and torque? I bet some of the bits like the Turbo badges on the flanks would be a small fortune if original. I assume you're just going to get some vinyl reprints of them...

Not forgetting that when we're all chauffeured around in our electric-powered, four-wheeled Google seats - small, chuckable 'fun' cars will undoubtedly have a lot of appeal. Assuming it's not taxed out of existence through burning fossil fuels, or £25k in insurance because there's a...

Welcome aboard! :)

It's definitely worth a try if you can manage it though. I'm not a fan of player-vs-player much - especially with FPS games - but the co-op mode where you're against increasing waves of more difficult enemies is a nice feature. More so when there's four of you working together, laying mines...

Yeah - it was a great game - the DLC is worth it if you get it cheap in a Season Pass - currently 50% off on Steam at £14.99. SE4 is massively more appealing than the 'replacement' Strange Brigade. Despite me paying for the Season Pass'd edition of that as well - I've yet to complete it...

While its heart-warming to hear that some young 'uns look beyond Console Land for their gaming - £500 will be pushing it. Even in the 2nd hand market, choices would be pretty poor I'd expect and virtually impossible to obtain if he needs the full works like a monitor as well. As @Simon998 says...

I'll definitely get this in a decent sale. The last two TR games have been superb, imo.

Even if you halved that figure - those results are shocking. Pretty much any mainstream car north of £20k can break (or at least approach) double the speed limit these days. To have absolutely no idea of which end the car that you're pressing the Go pedal on is driven by, is bloody scary. To...

Company of Heroes 2 (core game) is currently free on Steam. The Master Collection with all the DLCs is just £5.40 on there too.

If this post wasn't approaching the two-year-old mark, I'd vote it for being Post of The Year.

You've got massively more patience and willpower for this. I'd just want a decent unit in there. Does it connect? Does it sound good? Those would be my criteria - and ideally not be that appealing to thieving b******s! :P

Definitely set a benchmark that game. I'd argue that the first game was the best of the series and it wasn't until I got a GTX690 that the performance was worthy of pushing the visuals at a decent rate. Thinking about it - I'm not sure if I've actually finished the first game? I recall...

I think I'll stay clear of this one.... lol.

Interesting with the PSP. Is that along the lines of Pandora and running an arcade emulator that way? I only ask as my Pandora'd PSP is shoved away in a drawer somewhere and never sees the light of day. If I revamped it to run stuff like this, that could be fun. I have a RetroPi too - but as...

It's a pretty powerful app for free - a bit like Garageband. That's strangely addictive to have a dabble with every now and then.

It’s worse now - that pic is fairly old. I know - it’s weird. Even a cheap Halfords car cover would be better than nothing. Those tyres will be ruined by now as well [emoji853]

Wha?? Heading down towards the war memorial from the Darwen side, just look down the little dead-end side street that runs alongside The Skylark chippy. There’s a silver V parked up there, caked in leaves, twigs, splatterings of mud from rain -you name it. It’s been there as long as we’ve been...

Seems to be around the 2-3 year mark when a lot of owners sell them on. The honeymoon period passes - the windy draught in your empty wallet gets tiresome and you're immensely paranoid about every knock and rattle that you 'think' you hear. Evos cost a lot to run - and whichever way you look...

Just get that V slowly dying amongst the undergrowth, next to The Skylark chippy, Chris. I wince every time I glance at it in passing.

Definitely this. I wouldn't want to be chastised by a lengthy set of rules, if instead you could tinker away with your car and have fun on open track days.

As above - you'll have to be willing to make the distance if the car that meets your expectations, is far away. When I went looking at the Evo - that was 250 miles away - one way, from me. Then back after I viewed it, then back and forth again once I bought it - in all, 1,000 miles for it to...

Great responses guys - these are exactly the sort of comments I was after in terms of people who had done similar, or at least knew someone who has. As above, £20k into an Astra GTE is absolute idiocy from a money perspective. But with projects such as this, the financial aspect is secondary -...

This same thought has cropped up a few times over the years with regards to my 182. It's well into its twilight years now - and with regular posts of 1*2s being broken, scrapped or simply sold for peanuts - I've repeatedly thought about the revamp route. Why? Well I have a lot of personal...

I'm glad someone else agrees! I test drove an EP3 from Honda when they were currently available from the showroom. Apart from the great seating position, the one memory I hold in high regard was with that gearbox and gearchange. A superb piece of engineering - and like you said, pretty much...

So pointless - that's its actually brilliant. Great work!

Yep - mine did this - I got distracted when my wiper mechanism was last out and only finger-tightened one of the bolts. Stopped sweeping while doing about 50mph on the carriageway in the rain.... Easy fix - also make sure that your mechanism slides onto the mounting peg at the back of the...

I think the main issue with VR, is your clumsiness in the real world when using it. Sure, it's fine with a sit-down driving game behind a decent Logitech/Fanatec setup and chair in place. But that's about it. The illusion of being immersed into what you're viewing works when you can physically...

I'm thinking of increasing my PC's storage. A couple of these will suffice.... :P https://www.scan.co.uk/products/1536tb-samsung-pm1633a-25-enterprise-ssd-sas-3-12gb-s-dp-mlc-3d-v-nand-1250mb-s-read-1250mb-s-write2
