I was heading back from Silverstone, just pulled onto the A419 from the A420 at 4pm today (just outside Swindon near the M4) and a couple of Renaultsports shot past on the other side (Yellow Megane, Monaco 172 with White wheels...that's all I remember) Anyone from here?

'Vast' just about sums Silverstone up. It seemed big before, but the new infield section and the frankly enormous Wing have made it all seem bigger still. Double decker buses now take you around, as it's all a bit odd (there is no bridge near the new Pit Straight for a start), endless dead ends...

Been driving my Ph1 172 for a few weeks now, drove to Bath on some nice twisty roads last night and cornering right at anything above 40mph is 'a bit scary', to put it mildly. When cornering left it's as solid and stable as I would expect and there are no issues in a straight line, but turning...

Just leaving my house today about 3:30pm and passed a White 197 that was heading towards Paxcroft Mead / Hilperton from Stoney Gutter crossroads. Pretty sure I've seen it before around this area before.

I'm now the proud owner of this beauty, having sold my superb Ignis Sport yesterday. I was supposed to be buying an MX-5 or Cappuccino, but couldn't resist when I spotted this just up the road from me. Some of the long-termers here may remember I owned a gorgeous standard Cup (S25 CUP) quite a...

A few pics from the BTCC at Thruxton yesterday. A bright hazy day which doesn't really suit my style of shooting (and lack of processing) but I got a few keepers...

Horrific crash at Brands this weekend, apparently these two guys are always at each other. Those that know the circuit will appreciate just how fortunate it was that no spectators got caught up in this, the area the car landed is the main walkway around to the most popular vantage points...

Gorgeous day down at Combe today, driving standards didn't seem too bad for an Action Day either. Quite a few red flags (mainly due to mechanical failures) but not too much in the way of crashes... Iggy Sport flying, first time I've seen one since buying mine nearly two years ago... First...

Unusually hot and sunny at Castle Combe today for the Spring Action Day. It was pretty busy, something like 1500 cars on display, but of everything my cars of the day had to be the Skoda Yetis out in the track sessions, awesome. A few Clios anyhow... and one from the drift...

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-03-29-game-staff-told-to-buy-3ds-from-tesco Nothing illegal going on here, but still utterly wrong. I'm thinking this pre-owned business is getting a little out of hand. Plenty of staff coming out of the wood work suggesting that they are being...

Up at 5am this morning to head over the bridge into a very sunny Wales, my first time at Epynt and it didn't disappoint, incredible event. Best tenner I've spent in ages! A load more here: http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/Motorsport/Epynt2011

A quiet one compared to previous years when pretty much every colour combination of GT3 RS would show up, but warm sunshine and my first visit to Combe for a long long time more than made up for the lack of cars... 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8)

Mental. They are aiming for 105db to get it through Castle Combe noise regs. Honda kept the engine (and steering wheel) so they're dropping a 500bhp V8 in it's place. A few more details here... http://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/documents/nadine.jpg

After over a year pretty much out of action (very expensive broken lens, and a complete loss of love for photography), I'm back in the game. My beast (Sigma 120-300) came back from Sigma earlier this week as good as new, so I made an unexpected trip to the Sunseeker around Bournemouth/Poole area...

In iTunes on the PC (I'm using v10), how do you actually get to the various categories? i.e. if I want to go to the App Store and view the Reference category, how do you actually get there? At the moment I just select an appropriate App, and once you're on the App page it shows the links...

Me and the other half have just returned from a nice big tour of California, Arizona and Nevada. Took 2000 pics and have barely scratched the surface yet, but picked out a few of my favourites below. Nowhere near 'New York standard' pics, but as we go there every year I can afford to play...

Anyone have experience of these? Got a few quid in my Paypal so was considering the official GP-1 add on for my D90. As we're covering several thousand miles this Summer I thought it would be cool to have a map with every photo, presumably it will automatically geotag on Flickr as well...

I 'retired' my beast of a lens yesterday, so these are probably the last few efforts from me for a couple of months. Although these are pretty average they are probably the shots I'm most proud of...if you tried to operate the lens in its current state you would quickly realise why. As usual...

This looks 'a bit awesome' to say the least. Nintendo appear to have done it again... Eurogamer Hands-on 1-Up First Impressions Official Nintendo Site A small selection from the game List: Animal Crossing Assassin's Creed: Lost Legacy Kid Icarus Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3DS Mario Kart...

We've been thinking about which pic to use for our main wall feature for a while now, after 6 months or so of never being sure, we actually ended up going back to our original favourite and decided to go for it two weeks ago. A few weeks ago the size we wanted was £101 (42" x 18"), but we...

The most RS Clios I think I've ever seen at a CC Action Day, nice turnout on the CS stand as well. Pics, as ever... Loads more here: http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/Motorsport/PCAD10 still got 500 non-Clio pics to sort through...

Cracking day at Combe today, first race for the AJEC AAA 4WD Saloons, so some very powerful machinery out racing for the first time... A few more here: http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/Motorsport/CC050410

TomS was kind enough to bring his V6 down last Sunday, and yesterday I popped down to Thruxton for 4hrs, so the camera has been well and truely dusted off for the first time since October last year. Ropey as hell, but great fun, which is a promising sign (even the lens held out, and even better...

Spent the morning down at a very muddy Thruxton yesterday watching the practice/quali for the BTCC and support package, a few new Clio Cup pics to share. They seemed a bit subdued compared to previous years, less kerb hopping, less flame and looked a fair bit more composed (at the expense of...

Any tips? Preferably well under £200? Just got a Samsung 37" 1080p so fancy going down the Blu-Ray route, but the DVD aspect of it needs to be multiregion as 90% of my DVD collection is R1 or R3.

What does everyone have lined up for 2010, any odd/unusual events away from the obvious stuff? Castle Combe season pass for me as usual, so that's 16 days of racing for £95 already paid for. Other than that, a couple of BTCC rounds (Thruxton and one of the Brands dates), FIA GT1 at...

Any trustworthy Nikon owners here who have a longish fast lens capable of accepting a 1.4 Teleconverter (so will need to be f2.8 or f4 ideally)? I've finally got my Sigma 120-300 2.8 working (for now, before I can afford to send it off for repair) but it won't play ball with my TC at all. I...

DLC on Wii, 360 and PS3 this summer, 2D, set straight after Sonic and Knuckles, and Sonic is the only playable character. Sweeeeeeeeeeeet! Sonic 4: Episode 1 Teaser (old, but genuine...) AFfNNjiu7LE Please be good.

Couldn't find a thread on this, I guess I'm in the minority here looking at how well it did, but it's hands down the best sim on any console ever. Other half got it for me as a small present for Christmas (only £7.99 apparently) but I thought I better drain a bit more life out of Forza 3 before...

I don't mean this as a technical question, more of a 'how the heck do you manage it?' type thing? I've had Forza 3 for a month now and still haven't managed to play a single game online, it's impossible. I've tried several times, once the doorbell rang whilst I was in the lobby, I've had...
