    Novice Track Day - Snetterton 300 - Feb 3rd

    I'd be worried about that on the roads 10x more than a track day. Anyway... Next time !

    Novice Track Day - Snetterton 300 - Feb 3rd

    TBH someone driving for 4 months isn't ready for the road...! Why not learn now how to drive properly now in a safe proper environment ? Everyone should learn how to drive properly, learn what cars are capable of and learn what happens if things go wrong. Winter training, skid training should...

    BMW Z3? Snow problem sir.

    Ohhhhh yes.... Been out Burblin'. by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr Hilarious levels of grip ! Going past people on bypasses in the snow lane .. everyone else in the semi-clear inside lane at about 20mph .. me at full chat. Properly amusing ! Did get held up by a couple of Clios...

    The "Ive taken a pic and I kinda like it" thread

    Just been for a wander about with sillywoman ... there's nothing about. Few cars, few people walking about but generally all is quiet !! Left at half 9, got home about 11 ! Wanted to try some flash stuff out at the church, but didn't really go to plan. There was enough light about anyway...

    Photography Chat and Questions Thread

    I've a £15 Hama one .. pick one from here.. If it's really useful or you find you have to upgrade, £15 isn't even a round at the pub... use this one as a spare/backup or flash holder ? Mine holds my 7D (1.3kg with kit lens IIRC) quite happily.

    Dilemma coming in the next few months, what would you do?

    1 TBH. Simple as that. It owes you a little bit but you'll never see that back again. I can't imagine you've spent £k's on it anyway... Sounds like the perfect set up to me. If you can afford it, and you have space for it, why not ? It's not like you've got £10k sat there SORN'd...

    The "Ive taken a pic and I kinda like it" thread

    Playing about with my flashgun at home after I'd 'fixed' the on-board flash issue. Microswitch was staying down on the hot-shoe so camera thought there was a gun in place. :mad: Flashy stairs - B&W by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr

    Novice Track Day - Snetterton 300 - Feb 3rd

    I'm just going to get there when I get there. Not faffing about convoying TBH. It's an early enough start as it is, let along worrying about others...

    I'm going to drive the car there. Public transport looks like a pain on a Sunday morning. :rasp:

    Caring for a car sitting in the snow?

    Nothing worse than rusty snow. I hope you did as you were asked ?

    Back right bottom bulb issues

    Put your lights on. Walk around the back of the car. Are all on that need to be ? Get a friend to help you - press the brakes and check again... same question.

    Is anyone capable of fitting a turbo timer for some cash?

    It's the oil continuing to go around the turbo that's needed, not the engine cooling as such. Use your noggin... Keep it off boost for the last 5 mins if you've been blatting about like a mad thing anyway. If you've driven for an hour at 100+ down the motorway boosting the arse off it...

    Photography noob

    Everything generally under about £2k in the DSLR world uses a smaller sensor. Full frame cameras like the 5D use an equivalent sensor to a 35mm film camera.

    Locked my keys in my car. HELP ASAP

    Pull the top of the door back carefully, poke unlock button or pull inner-release handle with coat hanger. Call the AA or a locksmith. Failing that, pop a window as far away from the drivers seat as poss !! Glass is awful and you will find it everywhere, for ever and ever...

    ESP/Traction control question

    LMFAO ! Brilliant. I actually just throw my winter tyres away when they get dirty and buy some new ones. Luckily for me I'm loaded. Me, apparently. :approve:
