    PS3 vs Wii

    Going to be getting me a Wii when it comes out, I need to upgrade from my Dreamcast :)

    What DS games does everybody have? (another DS thread!)

    Animal Crossing has taken over my life (again!), it's all I ever play. Made worse by the fact that the missus has it too so we end up crossing towns and all sorts. Really surprised and pleased by the success of the DS, critics wrote it off at first but it's selling at least twice as many as...

    Motorway...with a difference

    Love the pics, really wanted to get out and try this but we have no Motorways or anything I can think of that is suitable around here. So we went out in a field with our mobile phones instead... By the way, what are the exposure times on those pics? I can only go to 8 seconds...

    Renaultsport Clio Extreme (Pic) - Trowbridge

    Are those the official Renault options? I knew you could get clear lights and exhausts from Renault but surely they are not that badly suited to the Clio?!

    Renaultsport Clio Extreme (Pic) - Trowbridge

    Popped into town earlier this week and this Renaultsport was parked alongside me when I came back to the car, anyone here? ;)

    Castle Combe Race Day - 05/07/06

    Sounds good, it does take time with these things. I remember the Focus RS in the CC Saloon's used to be off the pace a fair bit but things have steadily improved and he now goes really well. The white MR2 put in a 1:20.5 last week compared to the usual 1:15/1:16s that the 355 manages, so with a...

    Camera settings

    ^^ Indeed, it's like a golf swing (I think, never actually played apart from PGA European Tour on my Mega Drive!), plenty of motion both before and after the point where you shoot is needed to get a good shot. And vertical movement is bad and automatically creates blur regardless of how smooth a...

    Camera settings

    1/250 is pretty much the standard, good balance between actually getting some shots and showing movement. You can go much slower but it gets very difficult, but then the results are arguably better when it does work. I use 1/50th quite often but only get 10 good shots from 100 with that, however...

    Castle Combe Race Day - 05/07/06

    The white one or the black one? The 355 will take some catching, he is so consistent.

    197 Richard Hammond Review

    It's just a newspaper review in a tabloid, it's never going to be a detailed analysis of the handling characteristics is it! Look at this way: good review in massively read publication by a person millions of people love = potential for more sales = more likely to get better revisions such as...

    Castle Combe Race Day - 05/07/06

    Had a very enjoyable day at CC today, big grids and some extremely close racing, a few of my favourite pics... And not my own pic but this was one of the funniest things I've seen at a race circuit, made one hell of a mess... This one from...

    Greatest Ever TopGear Moment

    I thought Hammond flipping the mini-van recently was one of the funniest moments, simply because it was 100% genuine unstaged and unplanned, the way it just went over was fantastic. Does a clip exist?

    Have they stopped selling Tesco 99 in your area?

    Have they stopped selling Tesco 99 in your area?

    It depends how well it does in a particular area I guess. Around here we have no Shell stations so the only choice is amazingly expensive BP Ultimate. The roll-out in the South West appears to be accelerating if anything (I'm not surprised, lots of very nice sporty machinery in these parts)...

    Have they stopped selling Tesco 99 in your area?

    But not generally the South West, although they are rolling out very very very slowly here... http://www.greenergy.com/products/99_octane_locations.html

    Have they stopped selling Tesco 99 in your area?

    Tesco 97 costs more than that here in Wiltshire, in fact the most expensive I've seen recently (no joke) is 112.9p. We always seem to have higher prices around here, don't think I've filled up for less than 100p/litre this year.

    Have they stopped selling Tesco 99 in your area?

    Think yourself lucky you ever got it, over here in the South West we never got it (apart from a few random places, such as Poole and for a while in Bristol)

    Stickerd up 197......

    Yellow on Black looked so much better, but it is eye-catching which is the whole idea. Can you order these graphics then? I imagine there would be reasonable demand for them.

    Were you at FCS 2006? Look in...

    1) Specify 1 or 2 good things about FCS06 1) The depth and variation of cars and clubs in attendance. 2) Specify 1 or 2 bad things about FCS06 1) Extremely limited track and 0-60 viewing area (especially track) 2) Poor general layout 3) Specify 1 or 2 things you would like to see...

    182 prices - the 197 effect...

    The 172 values have dropped drastically in the past few months, particuarly the Cup it seems. Just 3 months ago I was offered nearly £8000 for my Cup, looking at values now it would struggle to get £7000. I would expect a similar drop in 182 values eventually, especially when they all pass...

    Cup N Valver: Location: Field: Castle Combe

    We had a threesome last time, clearly I wasn't good enough for Tom and Chris and they've decided to go it alone. A pic from a happier time... ;)

    182 vs The Peugeot Club and a stray Beemer!

    Fantastic shots, the white 205 is mint. Do you just pull up in a multi-storey and snap away for a few hours?! Probably get moved on by the police around here if I even considered that!

    Top Gear Magazine: V6 Buyers Guide

    A good read in this months Top Gear: V6 Buyers Guide, a nice full 3 pages of stuff to have a look through. Number 272 (Silver Mk1) is featured, looks absolutely stunning. They sourced the car from http://www.cliov6ownersclub.com/ which I didn't even know existed, bloody hard to read too...

    Yet More RallyDay pics - Damn it was Wet.

    Cheers, looking forward to them. Rich keeps making me want a D-SLR too, but I know lenses are really needed and that's a cost I'm not going to stretch to, as although he had very good pics before they are on another level now. Looking forward to the tutorial Rich.

    Who's steering wheel has melted?

    Thanks for the pic. I've had a letter on hold for a while now as I was waiting for pics etc, only had one so far (MarkCup) apart from that one ^^ If anyone else has pics/transcripts with dealers etc I would love to hear from you!
