Yeah I was only wanting about £160-£170 which I wouldn't ask for if it was just the console but at the end of the day the classic pad and component cables I have are essential so a person would need to buy those anyway so I reckon that would be fair? Plus I think I spent £20 on tokens for...

I have the Wii and 360 and to be honest I don't play on either! I come home from work tired. Watch some TV, browse web forums and read other stuff then go to bed. At weekends I wash cars/bikes, go on the web or down the pub and some how it feels like I never have the time or energy to play. I...

Ok deal. P&P is £70!

It varies a lot on ebay and also they bullsh*t and say it has 5 games when really it is just one game! I never go near that place!

I'm gonna advertise my Wii for sale on my large companies intranet. I got the regular pack with Wii sports and also a Component lead, classic pad and I have downloaded Mario 64, Mario Word and FZero on it. What do you reckon I should ask for it? I notice Amazon and Gameplay seem to be out of...

I loved the DCI 80 courtesy car I had. Did 65mpg average and when you pulled out of a junction and put your foot down it went like a 182....until you get to 4krpm and then it just died. If I down sized to a cheaper car I'd probably go for a diesel of similar spec to the one I had. Feels like a...

Unless you spend big bucks and face a running cost and/or reliability hit you won't massively improve performance - whether you do that through modifying or buying a different car.

I wasn't that impressed with the FPA but you drive it solo with no instructor (obviously!) and the instructor is worth 10 seconds a lap when you don't know the circuit or car that well! So I found the Jag much faster round the corners although I think the braking was the same. One thing I know...

Dare I retype everything I have written in a hundred other S2k threads! They are heavy, almost as heavy as my old shape Vectra. When we put my mates in his garage we discovered that it was the size of a family saloon too. I drove my mates older version and it is worth remembering that from 02...

Hard to say, might be worth getting a professional inspection if you are serious about the car? These cars are notorious for falling to bits and becoming a money pit once they reach a certain age so getting it properly looked at could save a fortune.

Here are links to the stories that I shamelessly stole from another forum! Makes a bloody interesting read if nothing else! I never say that one is better than the other as they are two completely different types of vehicles but I find the differences in how to get the best out of each type...

Complicated issue, lengthy explanation: Firstly an early R1 is barely any quicker than a modern R6 so you have to look at the exact model year. E.g. My ZX6 is actually more powerful and a fair bit lighter than the early CBR1000R Fireblades. Most people with no knowledge of bikes just think...

For a minute from cold it doesn't want to go over a few thousand rpm. I find at that point I am usually going down a road in third with constant throttle then suddenly you feel it surge forward as the ECU takes it out of the cold start up mode or whatever you want to call it. To be honest if...

Dont wish to repeat what others have said but it is worth saying it again and again and again just to ram it home to anyone thinking of doing it themselves. As soon as I see the word "mods" I would immediately click the "back" button and look at the next car. I think very many people would...

I just saw a 197 up close for the first time and it was in silver which is the colour I always get. I have to admit it looks really really nice. The interior and seats looked nice too. One of the best looking hot hatches I have ever seen. Just a crying shame that it is so slow as on the...

I hope you take them to the cleaners and get full compensation. Thanks for the reminder though - I will be replacing my car soon and getting finance so I have just ordered another print out of my credit record. I am always turned down even though my mates who are in debt get loads of credit. I...

Bottom line: Not good quick enough to tempt me away from buying an Astra VXR. I don't do track days and just want a dual carriageway drag racer. Renault just don't get it. Thats all 99% of owners do in these fecking cars, it is all people talk and brag about in pubs. The car manufacturers know...

I remember taking that jump and it was unbelievable. You won't believe how slow a 1.2 feels when drive one again. One thing though, really savour the moment the first time you drive the 2.0 because within a few weeks you will have got used to it and it won't feel any faster than you remember...

The issues with PGR3's graphics are well known and due to some technical issues that are way beyond the comprehension of a Playstation owner. The graphics are not technically speaking in 720p, more like 600p (but stretched up to fill the screen) if I remember correctly which is why it looks a...

What was released today? Anyone know? All games sites are blocked at my work so I can't find out!

Perhaps Seb will know this...what is the current lead time on 197's?

Looks like we are getting the sh*tty N64 version and not the SNES classic. Also Goldeneye is more likely on Xbox Live arcade than the Wii.

I want Super Mario World, then I will go through and get all 96 levels again. Its mostly crappy NES games at the moment but I wish they would release Punchout as that is absolute class!

Very weird. I'd try unplugging absolutely everything and connecting it all back up again. Otherwise unlucky, very rare failure.

Rumour was that GTR was due to appear on the 360. It is a proper sim though so if you don't want to spend hundreds of hours sat in your bedroom like a sad ******* tweaking rebound damping and camber settings you won't stand a chance when playing online. Same problem with Forza; the sad geeks...

Amazon have some well cheap drives. £63 for 250GB. Made by "Buffalo" who ever they are? I have an old Maxtor one I bought a few years back now and it is still going strong. I suspect that the less you move and knock these things about the more reliable they are likely to be. They are just...

Why is deputy head high risk? Or mechanic for that matter?!? I mean a mechanic is surely safer than some of the stupid women in my office that only have their tyre pressures checked once a year at the annual service...

I'm sorry but what difference does it make? Why have Microsoft screwed you over? The existing machine will play all current and future games. It is not like the 32X or Sega CD thing where games designed for that system won't work on the original Mega Drive. In fact it is debatable as to how...

I'd swap maybe for a Mk2 V6 but not for the Mk1 V6. The Mk1 V6 isn't massively more practical and is no quicker than a 182. However it is more comfortable than the VX. If you are looking at a Mk1 instead of a Mk2 then to be honest I think you would be better off with a 182 or if you must have...

I am only using mine for playing the N64 Zelda games (on a Gamecube Zelda Collection disk) and the SNES virtual console games. Wish some decent deeper games would come out that use the Wii controller as opposed to all this party crap. Haven't got my hands on Twilight Princess cos my bro is...
