Evo said 17.5 and Autocar made it 17. The CTR is said to be half a sec quicker. I've never raced one from a standing start but rolling 30 or 40 instead. I'd say half a sec is about right. They start to pull on you from 80.

Well you can sit 10 miles away from the track behind a dozen fences and view the action through a pair of binoculars like you will if you attend the British F1 GP at Silverstone. That however is boring. Unfortunately things are only exciting if there is an element of risk involved. If you want...

When I worked at Asda all the shop lifters had stolen crappy cars like Metros and stuff. I have CCTV of thieves who were stealing things from cars in my street and they pulled up in a Metro. It ain't a get away car but an untraceable taxi that they use to get around in. Apparently they even...

Do it all the time with my bikes. Full tank of fresh fuel, add some fuel stabiliser, over inflate tyres and just connect the Optimate charger once a month for a few hours.

I have had a couple of top spec machines from MESH that were ok. Like all PC builders their software builds suck and the tech support ain't up to much but then I always format the thing as soon as I get it and install everything myself. I bought one from them because a, some of the components...

I'd wait for Elite. My bro just got a VGA cable for his 360 and it blows the component picture out of the water. Trouble is our PC's use the VGA socket so it means cable swapping. Apparently HDMI gives the same quality as VGA and I ain't using my HDMI socket as Virginmedia only have one...

What exactly is amazing about the blueray drive aside from the ridiculous loading times?!?

Hmm driver can make a difference. I used to get 50mpg out of mine but my mate gets 35mpg out of his which is only 5 better than I get from the 182! I tried my brothers Aygo and when you turn the AC on your can feel it slow down. Still does ok on fuel though. I am looking like I will get a...

Anyone had/got a 1.2 16v with aircon? Just wondering how much weight it adds and what it does to performance and fuel consumption when you use it?

Yeah I just sat in my bro's Aygo and it does seem a lot better than a Clio even though the inside is just bare metal and plastic.

Yeah seen those but only the 8v for £6k. 16v is £7300. What is the road tax on those 1.2 16v's now? Of course the Clio3 is only £100 more... My mates say get the Aygo cos if you get the Clio you are taking the gamble you won't get one of the lemons that has the warning lights coming on every...

Ok as some of you may remember I am thinking of downgrading to an Aygo+ in September. However I just noticed you can get a 1.2 16v Clio3 Freeway pretty cheap. It is more expensive to buy and run than an Aygo but not much more given that it is a proper car. I had the 1.2 16v Clio2 and it was...

I think people would be surprised at how large a percentage of PS3/360 owners are only playing in SD. That is probably why people can't tell that the graphics on the launch PS3 games smell a bit compared to the 360 launch titles. I am still holding off and playing on the PS2 at the moment. I...

I'm surprised your insurance was so cheap on a Cup to be honest. I'd expect you to be paying four figures on the Cup and the BMW.

Well I hope they get it fixed so that all people with modded boxes are banned. I pay good money for the legit stuff and that funds the development of new games. I have no gripes with the price of the games, in fact I am surprised that the prices have remained so low given the increasing costs. I...

I absolutely loved prey and finished it on 360. It was a game with a story and atmosphere though where as this portal thing seems to lack those qualities. Perhaps they should have just integrated some of those original takes on the prey idea in a PS3 version of Prey. As a standalone game that...

Those raptors look wicked!!! Mind you I would never get on a 75bhp quad! I mean that must accelerate as quick as say a P1/Evo but with none of the stability associated with the longer wheelbase!!! Talk about a death trap! I'd feel safer on a 185bhp two wheeler!

They haven't done Bristol yet. No idea if I will need a new modem or not as they haven't posted the info yet. Mine is the SB4100.

Played it. Is good with aids off but as I say they need to make the cars faster when used without aids. Otherwise if you start an online game with aids not allowed everyone just leaves to join a driving aids game. Graphics were very good, better than GTHD if you ask me as there was a lot more...

I will check this out tonight. I found with the last one that the driving aids didn't penalise the user by slowing the car excessively like they did in say F1GP on the Amiga. So you really had nothing to gain from turning them off. I hope this time it is setup so that driving aid users simply...

Thing is whilst I wouldn't deny there is a quality difference between 5.1 and ProLogic2 it is not exactly essential or massive so the extra speakers you use when going from 5.1 to 6.1 or 7.1 are totally not a selling point and I would never pay more for a sound system that would support it. If...

I was playing GTHD yesterday and the graphics look totally average if you are used to 360 or a top spec PC. They certainly look nothing like those screenshots when you are playing it. Although my bro said it is just a HD version of GT4 and not the proper new version of GT that will be coming...

Yeah I have 720p and 5.1 so anything above that is of sod all use to me! 7.1 would be a joke in my room. Where would I put the extra speakers?! It is bad enough setting things up for 5.1 with cables and speaker stands everywhere. 1080p is a nonsense for games too. Given that both consoles but...

I loved the SNES version. So when the N64 came out I bought one from Hong Kong rather than waiting and I got Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 with it. I have to say I was absolutely gutted. MK64 was a real let down. It was pants because there was no skill in taking the sharp corners like with the...

I had a 360 but have nothing currently. Firstly I wouldn't buy any console at the moment. Both of them are stupidly overpriced. If I ever buy another 360 it will be if they release the elite version with the HDMI socket. The component connection isn't as sharp as the VGA lead which I can't use...

Based on actual historical Japanese battles remember.

I can see that would piss off all the people that have bought a PS3 up until now! Still I guess Sony could give all three of them a discount off the price of the new rumble pad! I'm gonna wait for the price to drop, see if the graphics improve to 360 levels and the online side gets better then...

How come the Wii's controller can do that AND rumble? If they introduced an updated pad with rumble I might consider it but otherwise its a step backwards.

99% of the birds I know would prefer a BMW316 to a 182. One of my sluts prefered my old 2.2 Vectra SRI. It wasn't quite as quick but she said it looked bigger and more grown up and was more spacious inside etc. I guess by that she means the 182 is a girls car. She will be well p*ssed off when...

Hey don't some of you work at SJ Cooks? I have a question. I am handing my car back to the broker in October but the MOT and service will be due just before I hand it back. I therefore want it serviced and MOT'd before something goes wrong on it and costs me more money - I have no confidence in...
