    Nice one, thank you.

    MarkCup's Fiesta ST

    I did and it did! Whilst the pence per mile/day depreciation cost will go down over time it's still a huge amount unless you limit your loss by buying cheap in the first place.

    MarkCup's Fiesta ST

    No idea at the moment. I'll be fitting them myself so when I do finally get a set from Ford I'll update.

    iPhone 6 thread.

    Seeing as I get on with the size just fine, what does that make me? Superhuman?

    For what exactly? Your little dainty digits?

    MarkCup's Fiesta ST

    I'm more than happy with it as it is...I'm in for the long haul so that depreciation figure per mile/day is only ever going to go down and become smaller and smaller over time. By comparison over the two years and 30k miles I had my 200 (bought by me at 2 years old with 18k on it) I lost £4,250...

    iPhone 6 thread.

    Exactly. I had a play for the first time with a 6+ today. It's a beautiful thing and LOL at it being too big. Don't forget the majority of diehard iPhone owners have been denied a decent sized screen for many many years so you're going to take some time to get used to the joy of something more...

    MarkCup's Fiesta ST

    Especially considering how good they are on track. Only two days on this set but I've never had the slightest fade from them. Low dust too. The only downside is how abrupt they are at low speeds, it's infuriating.

    MarkCup's Fiesta ST

    I know. It'll be a different story after 100k. I can see myself hanging onto this and running it for much longer so long as the little Ecoboost holds out.

    MarkCup's Fiesta ST

    I have a 'sum of the digits' calc based on a residual value after 4 years. I looked at what market value is for mine and tweaked the residual value so the current value looks about right.

    MarkCup's Fiesta ST

    'been a while, about time for an update having tweaked my depreciation calculation; nothing to report other than it having had its second service.

    GoPro external microphones?

    So it does...I missed that too! Worth a punt then I'd say.

    GoPro external microphones?

    That looks good enough although there's no mention of it being a two-channel stereo microphone; looks like mono only. That's your choice...while using my lav mic in its mono setting there is a marked improvement over what the GoPro in-built mic picks up there's no substitute for the much fuller...

    GoPro external microphones?

    You do indeed! Get another case? I've never done the underwater thing with mine so was happy taking a Dremel to it.

    GoPro external microphones?

    If you get a lav mic it'll be on a lengthy wire with a clip for attachment anyway. When using it with my HD2 hand held I just clip the mic to the jack plug sticking out from the side of the camera.
  18. MarkCup

    GoPro external microphones?

    Nope HD 2 for me so a standard 3.5 mm jack which gives a nice two-channel stereo format instead of the standard in-built mic's useless mono. I've never really looked into or at a 3 so couldn't even suggest what's best!

    Has my boss more money than sense!! & Crap Taste

    I can't see the problem with it at all to be honest. There's plenty of premium cars, in that colour, that would have the majority of CS knocking one out at the sight of it. Hypocrisy? Jealousy?

    GoPro external microphones?

    Just get a generic cheap omni-directional lav mic from eBay. I paid circa £10 and it's more than adequate.

    Estoril E46 M3 Individual

    I love the 'it's different' which automatically makes it OK line, when in reality it looks awful. brilliant. On the plus side all that crap can be easily removed :)

    Yes, both start automatically on ignition.

    Smashed into from behind...almost

    This is it, it wasn't hard and certainly not harsh braking. Yes I braked late and firmly. Why? The forward video shows this , the white sign was hidden from view, the junction itself was hidden from view, and the sign itself was almost on top of the junction leaving little time to react once...

    You do! Now they're so cheap and easily available the only reason not to have one is if you regularly drive like a cnut.

    So here is my approach to the junction from my front camera...damn I was tearing up dem lanes!

    Smashed into from behind...almost

    No, as explained (quite clearly I thought) I was looking for a junction, the whereabouts of which was, to me, unknown. The junction itself was on the brow of a hill and wasn't visible from afar, I spotted the sign but couldn't see clearly if this junction was the one I needed or indeed where the...

    Smashed into from behind...almost

    I fail to see the relevance of my speed? Regardless, I can say with 100% certainty that I was not going even anywhere near and certainly not over the posted speed limit. I was driving along an unfamiliar road trying to pick out a junction I didn't know on damp roads with wet leaves strewn...

    172s are awesome

    This is what appeals. The ST is almost too good. Only almost though, it is a hooligan on demand, just a nice refined one. I kind of miss the character of the lean forward long reach into third gear and the offset steering wheel though LOL

    Smashed into from behind...almost

    LOL I accept some blame here as I did slow quickly...I stayed at a mate's last night and a diversion giving an unusual route in meant I was looking for a turning but had no idea where it would be. The junction signage was partially hidden behind foliage with the junction, on a brow of a hill...
