Does seem a strange crowd to present to. Almost like advertising the new RS Megane on a stand at a Camping & Caravans exhibition. Trying to wow potential customers with the boot space isn't going to impress many if that's what the car isn't about.

Interesting this - as the OP says, if you're doing this on your cheap daily and the overall results look and feel better, then great. I wonder if with less smoke generated, the results from the exhaust come MOT time would actually be better?

Yep - as above, PC is really the proper way to go for 'realistic' VR in racing games. But you'll pay handsomely for that privilege. The graphical grunt that you have to have to support smooth, detailed motion whilst also rendering multiple cars and panning your head from side to side, is very...

Thread bump. Great work there - especially getting stuck in yourself. I would have HAD to take some soapy water/mild degreaser to the outside of the lump before putting it back in. I couldn't put the engine back in looking like that. ?

Clever how so few people will understand the circuitry, planning and software required for sn00p's readout above. Yet the information provided by all that work makes perfect sense to those that need it - and pretty much anyone could be instructed from it. Get a line manager request asking if...

You'll know if it's an injector - you get the EML occasionally staying on and your little Clio will sound like a Scooby - with about three-quarters less of the power. And it stays that way regardless of engine temp.

Yep - quite sure that if the circuit was uprooted and teleported to some backwater of Georgia or Tennessee - it would be far more successful. Oval racing just doesn't push the buttons for us over here.

I actually think the opposite will happen. I also think that you'll end up with people getting more and more creative in terms of fuels for these as the price and scarcity of oil continues to rise. In the future, there will be plenty of people out there who may have arrived at a car show in a...

Kind of makes sense. There were a shed-load of Fiats and Peugeots parked up in a compound to the side. Quite a few of them had registration plates on too.

I'd be interested to hear on this one too...?

^^^ - cheers Jack. My mum has inherited my wife's hardly used MacBook Pro. Created her an Apple ID and wiped the MBP clean with a fresh install of High Sierra - so easy to do when you don't have various drivers and hardware to worry about! Might have a look at some of those - especially as...

Quite glad that I managed to get a photo of 'The Hound' too. He's the one in the jacket to the right that I caught on the starting grid line-up - taken from close to the ground. Caught him a few times simply using his smartphone to take pics of the pit girls and nothing at all to do with the...

Dare I say it.... the Ed30s look more 'worthy' of being called a GTi than more recent GTis? Not quite sure what it is, but the newer models certainly look more bland.

Whilst in the hospitality tent after Race 1, Tom Chilton came over to our table with his girlfriend and asked if he could sit down with us. A proper decent bloke and happy to talk about anything we threw his way. Pretty sure that he'll have a career on motoring TV at some point - very natural...

My wife and I managed to get some hospitality tickets for the latest round of the BTCC through her work. Booked a local(ish) hotel for the Saturday and Sunday nights, with the plan to experience the full race day on the Sunday. Apart from the nightmare journey down with part of the M6 being...

Freecommander - think of it as an evolved File Explorer for Windows. Quite handy if you're messing about with files, their locations and attributes on a regular basis. https://freecommander.com/en/summary/

Just thought it might be worth adding your favourite applications and utilities that you use regularly, but maybe aren't that familiar to a lot of other people. It goes without saying, please do add anything illegal, silly or inappropriate. It would be useful to get a little list going that we...

Owning both an Evo and a 182 together isn't particularly nice to the wallet! Good effort on both cars though.

Reinstalled that after the recent-ish PC reformat. Only to find this weekend that it doesn't natively support Steam Cloud saves. Excellent..... that's 24 hours that I'll never get back.... :(

It didn't help that I was using one input method, then switching to the other - lol. I can't aim and shoot for s**t using a pad - but I needed that to feel like the controls on the aircraft were 'right'. Strangely, I'd fly all the helos with K&M, drive all of the cars with it too and obviously...

Finished the complete story of Just Cause 3 and liberated all the parts of the islands too. Up until yesterday, I had but one part of one location to finish with those silly little transmitter stations, where you shut them down against the clock. If I hadn't have done that, JC3 would have been a...

I'd rather have the garage converted to be a litter tray for the cat, than some of the pathetic excuses that we are left with. Surely when the draft proposals for these houses are made, they are basing the garage on a larger set of dimensions than a Fiat 126? The current Mini range occupies at...

Great - if you want Super Mario overlaid with realistic looking cars. Forget physics, forget damage. It's superficial at best. There are ramps to hurl yourself over buildings and crazy things like a Fiat 500 out-drags an Audi TTRS, etc. Its fun and completely OTT - but if you're a fan of the...

Who needs an almanac? I'd go back to 1998 and insist that my £100k investment into some start-up called Google should entitle me to 25% of the profits... :P

I just don't think I'd have the patience for the perma-death stuff. I get the appeal and why people do it - but for me, I think it would drive me mad!

How far have people got with this, playing it solo? I recall in co-op on the 360 that there many parts where I'd have to retreat or end up dying. Having started as the necromancer on the PC again, I left it to the default Normal difficulty. Having not died once, I upped it to Hard. I still...

Does look a decent one, that!

I was thinking that. But surely they would have had a dangling red, blue and green wire to be cut with an accompanying beeping noise?

Jesus. I know it's something easy to forget with the wheel nuts, but even so.... I have been known to check wheel nuts within a mile or too from having tyres done as something in my mind didn't feel right - lol.
