Looking forward to hearing about the resolve on this. One of those noises that makes it look like you don't give a toss about maintaining your car! :tongueout:

Welcome back to The Master Race. Where sense, money and reason go out the window. But smugness is rewarded by the bucketload......

I've always had a soft spot for these too. Not a common sight either. That picture of the OP's makes the Trophy look tiny in comparison from that angle - lol.

Some weird tips out there in these docs. One I couldn't get my head around was a Windows 10 tip showing how to create a folder without an icon or a name. Essentially invisible? :hushed:

For all you g33ks out there, if interested......! https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/mssmallbiz/2017/07/11/largest-free-microsoft-ebook-giveaway-im-giving-away-millions-of-free-microsoft-ebooks-again-including-windows-10-office-365-office-2016-power-bi-azure-windows-8-1-office-2013-sharepo/

I've thought that about of a lot of items. Wait until some genius cracks the ability to make a mobile battery the size and weight of a Pringle - AND give it twelve hour usage time. Overnight trillionaire!

Only tried the Vive so far. Standard Steam stuff that comes with it is great fun. Simple, well written and plays good. Not so much with the likes of Project Cars. The frame rate takes a plummet and even on a 1080 - you'll be turning off a lot of the eye candy on order for it play at anywhere...

Strange - I was looking through some old posts the other day and your name appeared on one of the threads... Stick with the X-Trail over the Tesla. The 4-Wheeled Duracell will give you an instant face lift. But having all the engagement of launching from Alton Towers's Rita, will soon get...

Haha - I had a series 1 RS-Turbo on mine! Chavtastic Achieveable Dreams......

I think that's a fair distinction. On paper, such cars do well - and will hold their value come trade-in/sale time. But I don't quite get my head around lusting for such a car. As you say, it does the job, isn't going to crucify you on tax - yet I can't imagine you fapping yourself silly over...

Totally agree with you. And where I have sympathy for the poor saps who's fleet manager has gone "there you go - there's your new boggo Krautwagen" - I don't understand the people who aspire to such sheep-like anonymity. A work colleague of my wife has bought in the last few months a Megane...

Wha?! Does such a thing exist? Pics or it never happened......

When you fancy something new for the house key-ring and you just happen to have a 3D printer at work...... :tongueout: Done using the 0.4mm nozzle - could get higher definition with the 0.2mm one.

Exactly mate. They will simply increase the tax level to a point that is just silly. Far more worrying I think with the future, is that the insurance companies will follow a similar path with autonomous cars. Want to drive it yourself? Be prepared to pay ££££ per year....

Prices surely should continue to rise for cars - the whole ethos of what they are about and how they deliver their power is increasingly being consigned to history. You only have to listen to Volvo's comment from this week about their range in 2019 to realise that high-revving screamers are...

It's weird - despite the BG being the most registered coloured of 182, it's the arctics that I generally see the most!

I take it you went for the Quadro then? Or did the SLi'ing of the 970s win you over? :)

Great comments from @obcuz there. The passenger side drainage is very prone to blockage, especially if you park regularly under trees with leaves and other debris falling down. I've had sloshing in that area before now and my mate had to clear this on his 172 - the trapped water stank too...

Does it ever descend into a campers paradise? That would be my main concern.

Yep - not too many T's around this neck of the woods - I have passed him in Bromley Cross before now too. Get's about a bit. ;)

This so needs some audio uploads when fitted! You'll get there in the end with it Andy....

Does it specifically have to be that version?

What a pisser. Rant warning. :angry: So I get the Steam Link up and running with Diablo 3 on the TV - very easy and surprisingly fuss-free given that I'm streaming a Blizzard game though the Steam front end. Pick up the XBox One pad that's connected - nothing. All I get is a mouse pointer on...

Worth it if you like simple hack & slash with looting games. Much better in co-op.

Ended up buying the new Necromancer expansion yesterday - mainly due to it being the best class in Diablo 2 and it's the class I pick on any fantasy/RPG type game. https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/rise-of-the-necromancer/ Even better is the wife wants to play this through again as we never...

Balls. Good to see that you've tried all the likely suspects though. Any idea what temporary GPU you'll be on in the meantime?

Andy - it's not the spec of your GSync cable is it? I had black screens aplenty when using DisplayPort initially on my PC. Swapped the cable for another and it's been flawless since. Unlikely - but it's worth a shot before the hassle of returning it.

I guess in the real world, they have to be seen to be making some form of 'eco' effort - though I suspect they don't have to make it so obvious. Putting it bluntly, maximising MPGs and having zero emissions is hardly the top of list of priorities for the usual M buyer. Such things as...

That's my noise - though admittedly not as bad as yours! Mine does it within a short turn of either left or right and doesn't have the lob, drawn out noise that yours does. I'm glad in a selfish way to know that yours is going into Birchdown soon. I'm planning early August and whatever you get...

Does look good that. Must be a total change in your approach to driving from the 172. :smiley: You can tell that manufacturers are in a state of mild panic in terms of portraying their performance-related image, these days. On the one dial, you have a nice 'M' badge in pride of place - but we...
