I love the comments on YouTube, it's all out war half of the time. These ones are pretty good until you get to the last one.
Great vid though, although not a great deal of choice but to drive that close at Bathurst.
Amusingly Sony actually haven't built a single production PS3 yet, they are still looking at the factories in China and sorting things out.
Reading between the lines they are going to syphon off some of the European hardware to Japan and the US, and Europe may not get much (or any) until...
Quite a drive home from work today, 6 miles and I pass 3 ladies driving 172/182s.
Firstly the Cup I spotted yesterday morning, seen again today near Virgin Mobile, reg ending HBG I think. Really wasn't playing the "hello fellow Cup driver" game though much to my dismay.
Then 20 seconds...
Hehe, me and the missus have been playing this since release day and haven't run out of things to do yet, plenty more life left in it yet! I Played the Gamecube version for 2 years and never completed all the possible objectives.
Basically here is a sample of things you need to do to...
Neil was overconfident, thought he had it in the bag with his fast laps and winning from the back of the pack. The "seasoned pro" was destroyed in the final by the young newcomer ;)
Bit addictive though I have to say, we're trying to organise a family grand prix now, got 7 people so far so I...
A new one has invaded my territory...Young lady driving past McDonalds/Focus this morning about 8:30am, didn't seem to interested in looking at me or waving so I kept my hands down! Wasn't the usual MILF Cup that gets driven around here.
More female Cup owners than male around here now.
Anyone else got a sore back today? I also burned the inside of my leg on something, didn't notice until I had a shower this morning and it burned like crazy.
As for that straight, I think we were hitting about 40mph along there, feels pretty rapid two inches off the ground.
Didn't get lost driving home either which was a bonus, left Jooliona (sorry, didn't catch your name!) at Nunny and didn't see a single car the whole way back after that (about 10 miles), got to love night driving!
Oh and I've sorted all my Cliosport related pics out now, they can all be found here...

Just under 1000 pics, sorted by Area Meets, Airfield, Trackdays and then my Cup.
Very entertaining in Cheddar this evening, some very close and enjoyable racing.
Here are a few pics, impossible to get good karting shots as it was far too dark on the track, but I got a few betwen races...
and a couple of pics of the results...
1. White16valver, not sure which day, 1 ticket
2. Al, not sure which day, 1 ticket
3. Gazeratti, not sure which day, 1 ticket
4. tim, unsure which day , 3 tickets
5. mr_merc, not sure which day if not both, 2 tickets
6. Day, both days, no ticket-someone give me some cheers
7. Rich, sunday...
I think I may have found what I've been looking for...

Expensive but looking at the sample photos this could be ideal for me, pretty much DSLR quality without ever having to worry about the cost of additional lenses (because you can't buy any!)
Awesome. Would love to do one of these, not very often you get to drive something like that, and on a private track! I see Clarkson has binned the GT for a Gallardo Spider, must be pretty good.
I always give jealous looks to Ph1 owners, just love the look of them. Sames goes for Willys, unfortunately with 16Vs they are mostly badly modded and driven by chavs around here, so I usually ignore them, but it's always nice to see a reasonably standard one although that is pretty rare.
As...
Pete, you love those Pannys now don't you :) I recently got an FZ7 for someone at work (slightly newer than the one you suggested), it's about 2/3 of the size of mine yet has the exact same 12X zoom and full manual controls, couldn't believe how good it was for the size and price.
Panasonic...
Last time I looked there were none under £2k, however within 200 miles of me today (and this is Autotrader miles, for every 20 you need to add a further 10 on to be remotely realistic!) there are now 9...a CAT D, 3 with over 115,000 miles, two without MOT or Tax and one that "needs attention"...
I'm on a £2k budget for a new car, plenty about if you look on AutoTrader etc. Car prices are generally higher where I am (Wiltshire) but there are 8 VTS' within 100 miles of me, some that look mint and have low mileage.
Cars on my shortlist and general condition for £2k...
Saxo VTS -...
I've got a 7800, it's fantastic, 1.79MHz of pure power! Still working perfectly after pretty much exactly 20 years (think I got it Christmas 1986), it was my first ever console and I still have all the boxes for everything and every game I ever had for it.
I have quite a few 2600 games for...
About 2200 iirc, exactly 90 were Silver. At last count (from the DVLA) just under 2000 were left, meaning over 200 have gone to the scrapyard in the sky.
Maybe I will get the FZ30 (or 50 if it turns out to be any good) which would mainly be financed by selling my current gear, then start putting away money to get a DSLR one day in the future.
Just thinking out loud! I can just see myself getting into debt if I get one looking at the prices you...
I read everything here, do some research, the prices scare the crap out of me then I run off and look at high-end super-zooms instead! Seriously though, if I am going to be massively restricted financially is it really worthwhile? £300-400 is the sort of money I might pull together for a holiday...
It's all change for me and I'm finally letting the Panasonic FZ20 go. After 18 months I've managed nearly 50,000 photos and it's never missed a beat. £500 spent overall and I had huge range (more than I ever needed, from very wide angle through to about 600mm), and a very very good Macro...
