    AMG Cherry Breaking - A45 content

    Nice. So going back to an Evo then?

    Relax....it’s a Rover

    Genuinely bloody awesome this! So different - so mad! Would love to see the finished article with a boot spoiler fitted. Would elevate the look from a pootling saloon, to something with a bit more 'intent'.

    Been reversed into

    I see what you're saying - but this is where logic just falls apart. I could have parked in the local supermarket for the last ten years and not had an issue. I then do a road-trip and into the wilds of northern Scotland, get reversed into outside a newsagent and then get 'black flagged' as a...

    Been reversed into

    For me personally - if that's just a marker against your policy - then so be it. If you get penalised for it over the next five years, then that's out of order. Having paid into this corrupt system for the past 22 years (and never claimed) - I'd be livid if someone hit my parked car, I got it...

    My New Volvo 740

    I do - I think it's great. Something SO not 2019 with all the drag-coefficients and sweeping lines of generic yawn cars these days. Also, when was the last one you saw on the road? It's something different - something to look at. It might not be desirable in the eyes of a lot of people, but I...

    Boot-lock not working off the remote (182)

    Thanks matey - it's definitely on my task list for this weekend!

    Boot-lock not working off the remote (182)

    Great stuff - thanks for the info, @Gus. I'll give that a try this weekend. Cheers, D.

    Boot-lock not working off the remote (182)

    Before blindly attempting to fix this - what would you guys suggest? I've heard comments about boot solenoids, etc - but is this the first port of call? Essentially the boot is locked at the minute with the boot button in the diamond not being able to be pushed in. The key fob flicks both door...

    Whirring/ticking noise

    Could be this? I did something to mine when replacing the headlight xenon bulbs. Clicks now - but I CBA'd to take the bumper off again to look at it.

    Apple ripping people off (no surprise there)

    Mentioned elsewhere that we had an iTunes issue some years back. The online tech support couldn't fix it and it got escalated immediately (not we'll callback at some point if we can be arsed) to the next tier support in America. Had this bloke on the phone who literally must have been Mr...

    Clio being driven like a dick at Croft

    What an absolute tool. A liability for all others on track. On a lighter note, that GT4 (?) sounded amazing.

    Not been back on the PC version for quite a while. Think I need to revisit it.

    New car Evo content

    “Can” they actually be replaced? 😉 I think more so in these current times where the likes of an Evo are the complete opposite of most people’s ideal car - it’s great to actually still see them about. I followed a silver VI on a flatbed on the way home last week. It still looks a great design...

    New car Evo content

    That’s the long-game with Evos. The 182 is quite within the realms of most people’s driving ability. Not only that, but to exploit it, doesn’t cost a great deal. The Evo takes time to master - even for a capable driver, I’d say. And to see its full potential, you really need to track it...

    Clio Phase 1 Rsi Purchase.

    Yeah - the OTT looks do work in its favour. Certainly if you get a good one, there's only one way that its value is going to go!

    Clio Phase 1 Rsi Purchase.

    Never got the appeal with these...... at all. Chuck an R32 lump in the rear - make it RWD only, add some side-pods for ventilation like a Clio V6 - and make 100 of them. Then I'd get the attraction!

    New car Evo content

    Quite possibly. Will be interesting to see what he replaces it with. Does seem like a very quick turn around between buying and selling it. Could be that he thought all the costs with Evos were 'other people's cars' and that his would be different? ;)

    Clio Phase 1 Rsi Purchase.

    I can't answer your questions unfortunately - but that sounds like a decent buy you've picked up there. :)

    182 miss fire on cylinder 1

    Check, check and double check the injectors before going any further. Luckily, mine died on pot 2 and a direct replacement sorted it out straight away. But I ended up replacing the other three not long after - especially as up to that point all of them were Day 1 items. Heard some horror...

    Kerbal Space Program 2

    Very intrigued about this. Found the original strangely satisfying in a twisted way to see the pilot in a blind panic when the ship was plummeting back to earth.

    The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy

    Yeah - you couldn't sell it now Andy. It's been with you through so much and for so long, it's now part of your DNA! :p

    Thoughts people...

    I have one question for this - what monitor are you running on? At standard 1080 res, just one 980Ti will piss it. They can happily run many games at 1440 and a select few at 4K. The big word of caution from the SLi perspective - is that it doesn't work well. Trust me, I have flogged my guts...

    How much do you pay for Sky/Virgin?

    If they are that close to your building already mate - good chance that they will be with your soon. How does the Virgin fibre stuff work? Is it still a copper wire to your own apartment? It's one of the things that I really liked about Hyperoptic, that the CAT5 ran into our apartment and...

    How much do you pay for Sky/Virgin?

    Yeah - it will just be another provider sat on someone else's platform. They seem to specialize in large concentration areas - such as apartment buildings and inner city developments. Had it for about four months so far and it's been great.

    How much do you pay for Sky/Virgin?

    We have Hyperoptic - providing access for Amazon Prime and Netflix. Currently on their 150MBPS package at £27.99, but pay the optional £5 on top per month for the static external IP. Stable, quick performance. Could go for the 1GBPS package - but its not worth it for my needs.

    The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

    The Ferrari is nice - but simply wouldn't compete if I could afford that GT2 RS above it. Brilliant colour combination too of complimentary colours - purple and yellow.

    Stellaris [PC/Console/Mac]

    Cheapest place at the minute for it appears to be on cdkeys - both Steam and Humble Bundle have the core game and the DLCs at pretty much full price.
