    A8 NNU - RB 182 with stripes & CS stickers

    .....at my usual stalking grounds. ;) On a late one today - left it far too late for a decent butty selection. Had to make do with the 'ol cheese & onion. Boo. :( D.

    Mk.1 Clio 1.9D vs. 1.2 petrol - pros & cons?

    .... in terms of pure running costs? If I round it up and say my mileage is approx 40 per day - with a mixture of urban and some motorway mileage - is one better than the other? The only 'luxury' option I'd really like is power steering - not sure if that was standard anyway? Any ideas of...

    Who's '54 arctic blue 182 was that on the M66 this morning?

    Heading north and came off at Haslingden, I think? Looked really well - and the exhaust sounded goo too! Lowered a bit, but with uncupped wheels, iirc? D.

    '05 Uncupped silver 182 - Kings St. Manchester...

    Willy "EJB" - end of Shadsworth, Blackburn

    Impressed with the results of EGP (inc. pics)

    Jain gave her Vee a bit of polishing love, the night before FCS. Not that it mattered by the time we got down there as it was full of crap again! Anyways, I've been indifferent to how EGP is on my car. It looked good on black gold, but never that good imo. With not a great deal of effort...

    Anyone know much about memory-card camcorders?

    Just in terms of what's good - what needs to be a feature on the camera - what's crap, etc? Not interested in the HDD cameras or DVD. And tape most definitely has had its day - lol. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Anyone actually got one/used one? Cheers, D.

    IBM's 'small' PC

    http://www.itweek.co.uk/itweek/news/2218619/ibm-roadrunner-flies-petaflop Surprise - they are using AMD instead of Intel. No surprise - that they are using Linux instead of MS stuff. D.

    48k service on a 182? Anything special to look at?

    My 182 is getting close to the 48k mark now and I'm getting ready to book her in for the next service. Is there anything specific I should consider at this moment in time? Obviously the 60k one will be cambelt time, but anything extra needed for the 48k? Cheers guys... D.

    Some pics from the rally event at Chatsworth today

    Got there relatively early - about 8.30 and there were already quite a few people knocking about. Chatsworth never fails to impress me. The one house I would own if I had Bill Gates's money - lol Plenty of car clubs were there - from Capris, Scoobies and Lancias, through to Talbots...

    Another n00b Ubuntu question

    Right chaps. I have an AMD64 laptop here with Windows XP32 on the main partition. I've got a completely free D: partition, currently formatted in NTFS, with around 10GB of space. I've burnt the iso image of Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64 edition onto a CDR and want to make the laptop dual-boot (if...

    172 Cup - *** JYM - Haslingden

    Spotted it earlier this evening near the Tesco roundabout. Bloke driving it and it looked standard apart from the Lexus lights at the back. I would have been right behind you if Farmer Giles wasn't doing 2.8mph in his Isuzu Tank in front. :dapprove: D.

    "Becky R" - blue 182 with stripes - Blackburn

    Saw it on the way home tonight as I was coming out from Shadsworth. Only caught a glimpse of the plate, but I think that's what it said! Heading towards KFC/hospital way. Anyone? D.

    X*** AAG - silver Ph.1 172, Blackburn

    Came up behind you as you turned down Bennington St. Sounded good, though you need to straighten your exhaust a bit. ;) D.

    Any HP Proliant gurus here?

    I've just reformatted a HP ML350 G3 server with Windows 2003 Standard Edition. The O/S is fine, but at the BIOS level, I have to press F1 for the server to actually continue and boot-up. It's a stupidly obvious problem and I think I'm not seeing the wood for the trees - lol! I've gone through...

    "Lowest unique bid wins a new 197...."

    Well, it beats the normal motors they have up for grabs on radio stations. Heard a bit on Imagine FM this morning (based out of Stockport, I think?) and they have the competition open until midday on Friday. *edit* POTENTIAL SCAM! Read the thread...

    "WTF?" expression on female driver - Ashton-under-Lyne, Sainsburys

    Lol! Yesterday, afternoon You pulled out of the petrol station bit in a mint looking arctic blue 182, complete with private plate and clearly a lot of cleaning TLC lavished upon it. Gave you a flash and a wave as I pulled alongside - to a complete bemused expression. Ah well, clearly it...

    Petrol blue 182 - M55 this afternoon

    My first spot of the elusive 182 colour! Caught it at a good time too - in some decent sunshine on the opposite side of the motorway. Looked mint - really, really good. :cool: Wished I'd ordered mine with it now..... D.

    Old pic request of PC polishing....

    Chaps, Can anyone remember the link to the thread that had the images of that black Clio after it had been PC'd? There was a great shot of the before/after effects of the front wing being PC'd, iirc. Cheers, D.

    Arctic blue 182 - Bury & another M60 today...

    First one at the lights around the corner from the fire station this morning... ...the other was on the southbound section of M60 just north of Oldham. Had its xenons on too. :cool: D.

    SATA RAID gurus.....

    In order to have two drives in RAID0 and an optical SATA drive plugged in at the same time - do all three devices have to be on specific ports? I've got 6 SATA ports on my mobo, but with the large size of the twin 7900GTX gfx cards, I've simply connected the drives to the most easily...

    Two on the M1 today....

    ....heading down this morning, I was overtaken by a blonde in a '52 black 172 with a 182-style twin pipe exhaust. Then coming back up from Nottingham this afternoon, I spotted a Mars red V6 on the opposite of the M1 - around junction 38. Anyone? D.

    Black Gold - that LOVE/HATE thing again....

    Well, I meant to be cleaning the inside of the 182 today as it was certainly in the need of a good hoover-out. Anyways, I thought 'stuff it' and decided to give it a wash as well, despite it having one only a few days before (sad get). So began another round of black gold yin & yang, chalk...
