    New owner of a V6.

    And they say...... "Oh, I could never retire, me. I'd be bored" "I'd miss working too much" "That would mean spending more time with the missus" "There are only so many golf courses you can go to" I look at pics like that above and question just how deluded some people actually get. I would...

    Volvo 940 TDIC Project

    Apart from the engine difference between the two - is there a big variation in terms of trim level between the Volvos?

    What monitor?

    Another factor to bear in mind for the future, is the native resolution of the monitor in question. There's the whole buzz about 4K offerings and how glorious it looks. But from a gaming perspective, you need a potent system to keep that action on the boil, so to speak. It's a simple case of...

    What monitor?

    Exactly what @Simon998 says above. The key here would be finding what games he's interested in and whether or not refresh rates are that much of an issue? If he primarily goes after games that you'd associate with plenty of onscreen movement and player reaction times (driving or Call of Duty...

    Audi TT 3.2 - I'm now doing discounted cut n blows

    I can see why they are popular, but the TT's do nothing at all for me unfortunately. I don't think the Mk.1s have aged particularly well either - especially when you look at the panel lines from the profile view and they appear to have been designed by twenty different teams. All looks awkward...

    Wreckfest

    Yeah - a bit awkward. I think they’ve tried to copy the ‘box’ look of Project Cars 2 - but it’s a bit messy. Also, has anyone noticed if you can change the tyres in this? You could in the likes of the Flatout series.

    Prey - Mooncrash

    Wow - that’s a bit spooky. Did you write that review for me?! I think I’ve put an hour or so into it - but I get what you mean. A mate at work loved this and enjoyed it all the way to the end. Yet when I tried it, there was something ‘missing’ and I couldn’t put my finger as to what that was...

    Wreckfest

    Or if you’ve been out to the pub and come back home. Probably the only time you’d perform better in a driving game when you’re half cut!

    Wreckfest

    Yep - quite strange. I’d pretty much given up on it myself! It was sat that in my Steam library literally for years with the occasional update, but it seemed to be in perpetual development - and it looked like it. Rough around the edges and really quite shallow, it just felt like an ongoing demo...

    Wreckfest

    Having made a total (of, iirc?) 1,611 days in alpha - Wreckfest finally got its release day. There was a large update yesterday, which I've yet to try it - though the beta version before was great in itself. The driving mechanics are very simple - far more Destruction Derby than anything...

    Have you got a Steam account mate? I've got a key spare for Metal Slug 3, if you want it? ?

    How we used to buy games in the 90's...

    I might add a slight addition here to my own post. Had a chat recently with a Steam fwend in the US who asked me about the backlog of non-started games that bloat the majority of gamer's libraries. He was saying that he didn't have the time, nor the patience to actually to make any headway in a...

    Uprated poly exhaust mounts - how many interested?

    Got a pair of those delivered today - due to be fitted when my exhaust gets seen to, next Thursday. Hopefully they help with the alignment and general vibrations, etc?

    Clio 182 front windscreen

    The one thing stopping me from getting mine done. Mine's still the OEM screen with a couple of small chips and that sheen effect of many hundreds of tiny marks from over 150K+ of crap, flung up from UK roads. When I had the Evo, the screen was almost flawless. It's clear that at some point the...

    Joe's Black Sapphire M135i

    It's a strange one for me with some of the German performance cars. I love the understated look of these (more so when they are debadged) yet find the majority of Audis look boring for being too understated. ? What's the going rate for these, typically?

    The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy

    Money draining aside (which someone clearly as intelligent as yourself, knows that you'll never get back) - my main concern would be the CBA Factor kicking in. There comes a point where you just can't be bothered to see the end result through - even if that finish line is within reach. I've...

    Attack of the rust

    I never understood why integrated mudflaps weren't an option for the 1*2s - like the standard models. Sure, overtime, the end rust result would probably be inevitable. But it would certainly reduce the direct bashing from road debris that the sills and jacking point areas get. Seems like common...

    Post Scriptum

    Looking quite good so far - even with the slightly ropey infantry animation. Naturally it won't have the player base of the upcoming Battlefield V, but from what I've seen - I'd much rather invest some time in this. http://postscriptumgame.com/

    Front bumper sat wrong

    SO easy to get these front bumpers out of line. The Neanderthals at Renault did this on my car when they replaced the alternator. The panel gap was horrendous. Unbolted it myself and realigned it. It is a bit fiddly and at times you're thinking 'why won't it fit!?' Keep trying - it does...

    Poor Aux Audio

    The issue might be elsewhere. I’ve had two previous aux cables and got a friend of mine who is handy with a soldering iron to make me a longer one too. None of them have had any issues with playback.

    Battlefield V

    Totally agree. Still the pinnacle of any of the BF series to me and yet to be bettered. Getting an unlock back then was a MASSIVE achievement because you had worked bloody hard for it. Now, I literally open up Origin and get showered with crates of pointless crap of similar repetition - the vast...

    Steam - including latest offers

    I'd heard similar about the game with the money issues. Apparently you have to be VERY selective with what you spend money on and also be willing to sacrifice units for the greater 'good'. I also heard (but don't know how much truth is in it) that there are some missions that are impossible to...
