    Today's pics from Oulton - including a Veyron

    Well, we headed over for the first official race of the '08 Oulton Park calendar, which included Ginetta's, F3 and GT racing. However, it was some of the cars that were parked up that caught my eye. Obviously, the Veyron was nigh-on impossible to get a clean shot of - there were literally...

    Monkey? At Blackburn Asda?

    Might have been you, but couldn't really tell, m8! The Cup looked particularly clean. :cool: D.

    Microsoft Sharepoint server

    Anyone use it? We were looking into getting Sharepoint Server 2007. I take it that it works best with clients running Office 2007? A good 90%+ of our clients are running Office 2003 Standard edition. Any good points/bad points? We mainly want to centralise a lot of 'similar' documentation -...

    Modded '51 plate Clio - Sainsburys, Ashton-under-Lyne

    Passed it on the way out of Sainsbury's when I was in the :evil: POWER DEMON :evil: Belingo. :cool: Blonde driving it. Would have been around 6-ish this evening. Anyone? D.

    A few pics from today's drifting at Oulton....

    We tagged along to have a butchers at what was on at Oulton today. Martin (k1ano) was initially going to take his GT-Four for some drifting, but switched it last minute to the V6 when the 'Yota developed a problem. A braver man than me! A little too sideways......:cool: Perfect...

    The worm has turned - my view on the 197 Cup

    After the p1ss-poor Reno marketing shots of the 197 Cup which in my mind resembled an 898cc Korean shed trying desperately to look like it would reach 60mph before Easter - my views are starting to change. ;) I picked up the first issue of Performance Car magazine yesterday, complete with...

    Hard drive recovery services?

    Has anyone got any recommendations for a hard drive recovery service? Cost really isn't the issue, neither is the time that we require the drive back. The laptop drive in question has several hundred jpegs on it. Even if we could recover a fraction of them - it would be better than nothing...

    Mac OSX Leopard

    Well, after the help from Tom and sn00p on my previous thread (thanks again guys :approve: ) (http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=301693) - it was a definite sign that the Mac's HD had died. After nabbing a new Seagate Momentus (great name, lol!) HDD for it and buying a retail copy...

    Headlamp washer fecked...... again!

    I really wish Reno hadn't even bothered with them. Gave it a good wash on Saturday for Sunday's drive out - and when I pulled up at Lymm services - the same headlamp washer was pissing fluid out again. Is it an easy job just to bung the feeder pipes up and be done with them? It really is...

    SSD drives - the sizes are getting useful now...

    http://www.mtron.net/english/PressRoom/PressRoom.asp?sid=PressRoom&xact=view&idx=171 Still cost a fortune mind! But at least they are out there and being actively promoted. Give it a few more years and they should (hopefully) be at sensible prices. D.

    Poorly looking '05 RB 182 with stripes, Disley, yesterday

    Past it on the way home. Parked up on the road with a fair amount of panel damage on the drivers door. Ouch. :( D.

    Powerbook G4 - dead?

    If a Powerbook that's been sat on a shelf for months, decides to simply display an Apple logo in the middle of the screen - does that mean its funcked? It does the start-up 'DONG' noise and then a few seconds later, just puts up the Apple logo. No spinning progress icon or anything. Are there...

    Next gen consoles - return to cartridges?

    Just a discussion header, really. Do you think consoles would ever go full circle and revert back to the cartridge days of old? Removing the cost of cartridge manufacturing out of the equation, I think there would be several benefits.... Fewer moving parts - possible decrease in size of the...

    '04 Black Gold 182 - with modded zorst - Bury

    Gave you a bib at the Junction 2 roundabout (Heap Bridge). The exhaust not only sounded good, but it really did look the part. Looked v.shiny too - just had it fitted? :cool: Hopefully you're on here so you tell me which exhaust it was! :) D.

    Linux - somebody, somewhere is having a joke!

    Did they purposely go out of their way to make Linux as weird and as unfriendly to use as possible? Did they have a global meeting and discuss "1,052 ways to infuriate someone who is used to the Windows environment"? I can't believe the most basic operations and uses either just draw a...

    Sky digibox help, pweeese!

    I know how to switch on my digibox...... pick a channel and that's about it. What I want to know is whether or not a standard digibox (not Sky+ or HD or anything) is the same - regardless of who the manufacturer is? Our Thomson unit is going ape and regularly says "No satellite signal is being...

    Silver 172 - X-reg, junc.18 M62

    Silver 182 - M62, junction 23 (?)

    Went off the slip-road about a hundred yards in front of us - as we carried on the M62. Think it was a '55 plate, iirc. About 12.30 this afternoon. D.

    Today's mooch out. Out-numbered by Vees again!

    Fancied a quick drive out (despite the crap weather) - so with a quick round up of the usual suspects, we met up at Lymm services. Then headed out to Jodrell Bank Jainy passing the ever important chocolate through.... ;) Clearly the dish was being used to collect water today...

    Leeds - the haven for black 197's.....

    Spotted three of them today while I've been at the Leeds depot. Two at the White Rose shopping centre and another on the M62. Didn't spot any stickers on any of them, though. Anyone? D.

    Contact number for dicky Sky box?

    Hi chaps, Has anyone got a contact number for Sky to speak to them about our dodgy Sky box? It's a standard one - not Sky Plus or HD or anything. Just one minute it receives certain channels, then the next minute it says "No satellite signal is being received" No. 28 appears on-screen too...

    '55 plate black gold 182 - Blackburn Hospital

    EX05 *** - racing blue 182 with stripes - Bury

    Flatly ignored by blonde in Ph.1 silver 172

    Top road this afternoon - between Bury and Rochdale. Gave her a flash and a wave and got sod all back. The Ph.1 looked mint. Just a shame the driver had no manners. :clown: D.

    Couple in Bury today...

    .... in the car park, next to Matalan. Two spaces up from me was a '51 reg dark blue 172 and directly facing it, was a '53 plate 172 Cup. Anyone off here? :) D.
