    Poor Aux Audio

    The issue might be elsewhere. I’ve had two previous aux cables and got a friend of mine who is handy with a soldering iron to make me a longer one too. None of them have had any issues with playback.

    Battlefield V

    Totally agree. Still the pinnacle of any of the BF series to me and yet to be bettered. Getting an unlock back then was a MASSIVE achievement because you had worked bloody hard for it. Now, I literally open up Origin and get showered with crates of pointless crap of similar repetition - the vast...

    I'd heard similar about the game with the money issues. Apparently you have to be VERY selective with what you spend money on and also be willing to sacrifice units for the greater 'good'. I also heard (but don't know how much truth is in it) that there are some missions that are impossible to...

    Europe's quickest FWD car

    Yeah - I get what you mean about that. The absurdity that you could nip down to the shops legally - in something like this?!

    BattleTech has the occasional cheap keys popping up on Amazon for the Digital Deluxe version at £10.29. Just nabbed one myself! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07CL4GV93/?tag=cliospnet01-21

    "Jason Plato mechanic" built 182 Kangoo

    That well known Renault-Chrysler development hybrid that they made? Of course! Still, it's a bit more unique than sticking a Type-R badge on the back door, I guess.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Very, very few games have ever made me rage-uninstall - this is one of them. Dying from behind hard cover (clearly demonstrated in the death cam) - rifles that have less accuracy than a shotgun at 200 yards. Bullshit shots (by me) on someone perched on a hillside far away with a bloody revolver...

    Anybody here into non-realtime graphics rendering?

    As per usual - thanks Andy for twisting my tiny brain! I had never really thought of the 'closeness' issue that you mentioned with one ball taking up the entire screen real-estate. Using much simplification and imagining that the entire background was solid black - would it be fair to assume...

    BF1 is the work of Satan..... looking forward to when (if) EA/DICE go back to making a decent FPS. ?

    Trophy and blackgold 182's

    Often thought about painting the BG's calipers - though I've never settled on a colour? They do look good on here.

    182 Wings same as standard?

    I shouldn't laugh - but I did find that funny..... "WhereTF is that wheel going!"

    Anybody here into non-realtime graphics rendering?

    Andy - in the clip above, does the inclusion of moving (and reflective) objects in what I'd class as the 'middle ground' - have a significant impact on performance? By that, you have the reflective balls on the table, showing the alleyway on them as they rotate. If there were say a dozen people...

    My first local co-op over null modem was on this, back in the Amiga days. A great game for its time - like most of the heavyweight sim games, I did actually read most of the manual(s) - sad b*****d!

    Track car Attempt 2

    Apologies - I'd only read the 2nd page about the mods made to the car - I didn't read Page One. Seems like you made big inroads with tweaking it already. The paint looks to be in very good condition for the age and given that its red. Is the bodywork pretty tidy too?

    Track car Attempt 2

    Interesting choice of track car that - your missus at least did a controlled 'off' and simply didn't plough into other cars, or the tyre wall. Tell her that we all have to spin at least once, in order to experience a track day fully! My ex-wife had one of these new when this shape came out. I...

    Almost reminds me of the days at uni in getting the original Command & Conquer up and running on two PCs. Through a DB25 and DB9 serial cable and some adaptors - I somehow got it working. Crazy the amount of patience I had for things like that back then. Now I would have given up on that in...

    Fixing rust in the Petrol Filler

    Clearly shoving my head in the sand and ignoring this, isn't going to make it go away! Realistically to get a bodyshop to address this problem, what would I be looking at in terms of a quote? (@gally ) I've had bubbling for a good number of years there, but I'd say that this year it is...

    Two Point Hospital

    It's been knocking about in the background for a couple of months, but the spiritual successor to Theme Hospital is looking quite good. I wonder if they will cover more recent medical treatments such as breast augmentation and lip fillers??

    Pisses me right off that. Personally, I hate horses. Imagine me complaining about the stink and s**t these things give off by moving to a house within 200 yards of Chepstow. Or Cheltenham. Or Aintree? Utter nobbers. Move if it bothers you that much. Oh, and here's a tip. You don't like planes...

    I know that Evos aren't to everyone's taste - but just look at that above. It looks so purposeful and 'right' where it currently sits. Yes, we're running out of oil, and everyone is shouting Hail Mary's to the hybrid and EV things. But it's almost like the aesthetics (and certainly the appeal...

    How I miss cleaning that bonnet.... ? Proper headlights too - not these silly modern-era crap that get pulled and stretched back almost all the way back to the A-pillar.

    130k miles - too high?

    Just be aware of the road-tax too. 182s are £290 per year now and I'm assuming that 172s are no different. That said, current road tax values are weird anyway. Using 2018 numbers, by first Punto 1.6 8v Sporting would be £250+ per year. My next Punto 1.4 8v GT Turbo (which was far more polluting...
