I could stretch 46mpg out of my Cup easily whilst still hitting the go-pedal nice and hard when entering 60s etc, so I reckon I could get close to 80mpg in this bad boy. Pretty easy really, keep a bit of distance from the car in front, have a good look at the junctions of upcoming roundabouts...

Looks good, could possibly do with the B&W area being slightly darker to really contrast with the RB. Good detail though, through the windows etc!

I did this to save the 'leather'... Left an old t-shirt in the car and covered it up whenever I wasn't driving, as I'm sure the sun was causing it/wasn't helping.

Take a look at these... http://www.flickr.com/groups/50-500/ Lots of nice looking stuff in the thumbnails, but many are very soft when viewed a bit larger. Unless you really need that kind of reach I would stay clear personally. Having said that I'm a complete 'fast-lens *****' now...

Here you go...

Thumb grips were ok but actual wheel started doing this suddenly after a hot summer... That was after 20k, build quality is clearly awesome! Felt nasty to touch, all rippled up. I have pics of MarkCups steering wheel at about 70k, it puts mine to shame big time, looks horrific!

To be fair the moon is about 238,863 miles from earth ;) For 'normal' stuff 400mm is pretty darn long, average telephoto is 200-300mm.

^^^ I was about to say, how is that not telephoto?! I max out at 200mm!

Looks superb, Sportlines were my best purchase ever, made the ride height absolutely perfect (i.e. still practical but closed the arch gap nicely) and I was surprised at how it seemed to sharpen things up a bit, even in my Cup.

Which reminds me, I watched this the other day, two words... awe and some. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCij9mYIokA My favourite Youtube vid by a mile.

Quality stuff, love that Laguna Touring Car as well.

I remember heading up to a South Wales meet on my own (last year I think), great bunch of lads and extremely quick drivers! Some stunning locations as well.

How many times are people going to write the latest Renaultsport off before the darn thing has even hit the roads?! You would think (eventually) that people would learn... The Trophy got a severe hammering (and I got bored of the negativity), usually along the lines of 'a new colour and...

About 2000, 90ish were Silver...at which time Air-con was offered as an option (also available to Mondial owners as well though), all the rest were Mondial Blue.

That's shocking, shows what weight is doing to cars these days. I could get 40mpg from my Cup without trying and not exactly taking it easy, and 46mpg on a long run down to the coast without a problem. Megane DCi sounds like a good option, 0-60 doesn't sound amazing but I hear they pull very...

I sold my 53 plate with 24k on it (and Eibach Sportlines) for £6500 exactly a year ago (and 8 months previous to that I was offered £8k!), surprised prices have dropped that much in a year to be honest, might be able to buy one again one day if they carry on like this!

Nikon D50, discontinued now (replaced with D40)

Sweet, never noticed that! Submission guidelines seemed quite tough as well. Will have to try my luck with some more soon.

Re: Apple update f**ks hacked iPhones The same reason people buy Ipods...they look pretty. Never mind the fact that there are numerous MP3 players which do a better job, have far superior sound quality and are cheaper.

A few from Castle Combe... Huge Caterham crash at Quarry before catch fencing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svzmp56YPY0 Fastest crash at Combe (probably ever), two Evos this year in the Saloons (about 1:30 in) doing around 140mph, minor injuries for spectators and marshals and damaged...

I only took it in February, I figure it's got a good 8-10 months or so left in its legs yet ;) Especially considering I just bought a house so I won't be going much anywhere much more exotic than Somerset for the next 25 years!

This one? http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/photos/200800450-O.jpg

Cheers for the link, might have a bash at that and see if any make it onto the site.

Haven't been down there for about a year, been meaning to head down at some point though when we get a nice cold, clear day. BluePete is your man for coastal stuff, he lives down that way and has some amazing shots.

pmsl, camera is 'only' 6MP so I'm working at the very limits in terms of size here, they still look reasonable though.

Worth pointing out that the number after the ND stipulates the strength (the 'darkness' in laymans terms), I've always found ND4 to be just about right for most things.

What size is your destop? If you follow the link to the site in the original post you can pick a size and download the full file. i.e. this for 1280x1024... http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/photos/200796324-O.jpg

Cheers! I'm not sure what size filter the 15-55 needs (52mm maybe? Should say on the lens somewhere or inside of lens cap). They aren't that expensive, you can probably find a Hoya or Hama ND4 for about £10-15.

Ive been working on these when I've had a few spare minutes now and again lately, as I seem to get quite a few requests so figured I may as well bunch them all together... http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/Projects/385936 4 of the 5 most used resolutions in the world available: 1024x768...

What camera do you have? If you bump the aperture to f22 (or f32), basically as high as the f number will go, and also make sure the ISO stays at 50-100 (some cameras automatically bump this up). That will give you a fighting chance, but you will probably still need an overcast day or wait till...
