As JMR says - it's possible that you've got a V6/Trophy spoiler fitted, but have the standard 182 struts on? The V6 tailgate when open, I have to make a conscious note to duck my head. I don't have that issue with the 182. If it helps, I can take a picture of my standard 182 spoiler along with...

My 360? I don't think ever. The PS3? Enough to be annoying. Catch-up TV and the like is fine - but games - especially GT can be a pain. Only last night I had a blat on the Goodwood Festival of Speed track and upon quitting, the screen went black and the console hung. Proportionally, giving the...

I know we've come across Rail Simulators, Trucking Simulators and the like before. But really - how many numbers in terms of sales can they have got from the following? http://www.excalibur-publishing.com/games/chemical-spillage-simulation/...

It annoys me when reviewers/media go on about the cheap interior. It's a bobby basic Jap saloon that been engineered to out-handle and out-perform cars many times more expensive. It is what it is. Not a Bentley or an S-Class Merc, FFS....! D.

Both great cars imo. I've always wanted a VI for the looks alone - the fact that it was a 'relatively' rare car and handled brilliantly, were just multiple cherries on the same cake for me. No Evo can ever match a Scoob for noise though - and there's something really appealing about an older...

Couldn't agree more. Even if Renault did put pen to paper, it would be heavily boosted, relatively small capacity engine. The V's were far from Dieter of The Month in terms of kerb-weight to begin with. Add to that, the increased health and safety stuff, and the commercial pressure to load up...

Lol - I noticed those too! :o D.

Nice step-up from a Saxo VTR! I went from Punto GT to my 182 over 9 years ago and I definitely noticed the improvement. You'll be doubling your power I would have thought? :) As Chi says - make sure the belts have been done or factor-in some money if they need doing. Birchdown in Malpas is...

Thanks sn00p/Andy - my brain has attempted to follow the above and is currently dribbling out by my ear lobes. ;) High-end stuff guys - waaaay beyond the comprehension of us mere mortals! D.

I loved BL2 when it first came out, but it got a bit samey after a while. You can play as Claptrap? Please tell me you can insta-suicide when you start the game? He is single-handedly THE MOST annoying character, this side of Jar-Jar Binks. I tried some many times in BL2 to kill him off.... D.

Hi Andy, Looks to be in working order so far - and there are several ISA slots as seen in the pic below:- Not checked the other specs yet, but it appears to be a 120-day Eval version of Windows 2000 Pro, SMC 10/100 NIC, 1GB memory and a whopping 6GB HDD. :) Do you want to PM me your...

I think I have an old Compaq Deskpro 2000 at work with a P166MMX. I can check if that has an ISA slot on it for you? Otherwise, it will get WEEE'd.... :) edit - according to this, it does have ISA? http://www.cnet.com/products/compaq-deskpro-2000-p-166-mhz-monitor-none-series/specs/ D.

Just the one - Wasteland 2. D.

FFS! Don't get me started on that, or XP bonuses for those who have bought Premium! ;) I'm similar - never got anywhere near top rank on BF2, but I do recall the proper sense of achievement when you finally did unlock something. Or if you managed to get the drop on someone who had the better...

Wow - you'll be struggling. I used ISA cards back in '92 - switching to PCI not long afterwards. Could you source the same unit, but with a PCI interface? I'm guessing you've tried that already? D.

^^^ - Liking those campers! :) D.

I doubt I'd ever really go for a subscription based game, but I'd like to hear that this is doing well. My biggest 'wish' that they would address from Skyrim, is with the character development. I'd like to create a character that had a dedicated skill-set - something which I could develop and...

That will be interesting to hear the comparison. I tend to suspect that the draw distance is the biggest hinderance to the 360 hardware with it relatively small memory. But if Titanfall battles are a closed in, small map affair - then it might actually do quite well. On that article you posted...

That's a serious programming achievement if they've managed to get that running smoothly on a 360! Shame about the screen tear - but some very talented coding there nonetheless. D.

Not really tried this yet. It's exactly the kind of thing I'd like as well - so I need to give it a proper go! D.

Never really seen the benefit for going 4G just yet. That said, one of our suppliers showed me real-time playback from 6 CCTV cameras on his phone and it was super smooth. I guess it all comes down coverage though? I'm the exception to the rule for internet usage on my phone - at last check I...

I'm far from the g33k you make out me to be :rasp:. I've clocked up a mere 17.3 hours in the last two weeks on Steam - the majority of which was testing/pushing the new GTX690 I picked up and it includes days off from work. On the grand scheme of things, pretty much FA. Besides, my gf would...

Well I'm entering my 34th year of having some form of gaming system - so I'm fairly passionate about it. Maybe I should tell the people who funded an aircraft banner fly-past for Moyes - that it's simply 'a game'? I'm merely voicing my opinions on a public forum - so on that scale, I think my...

Andy and Ste will do you proud. I always drive down there to take my 182 :)

Those little washers are a right PITA! Have you made sure they are the right way round too? The bearing will fail prematurely if they are wrong. D.

Great synopsis Andy! At times it really does shock me the whole level of 'detail' that goes into graphics tech. A card like the GTX690 has over 7 billion transistors in it - imagine the total number that exists in something like Scone's PC! ;) Despite that, you clearly show just how much grunt...

Would rather have SP2 for Windows 7 ;) D.

Not really sure why people bleat on about the loading times so much? Yes - even me, who is an avid anti-Win8 person cannot deny that it loaded much quicker than when I had Windows 7 installed. But then you're left with an O/S that you either bastardise to make it look like the older version in...

Hopefully they've managed that in Titanfall then? ;) I have to massively disagree otherwise if its not the case. If you have a 20-rank system - then someone who is rank 17 is clearly MUCH higher up the game rankings than someone at rank 8. When you start having silly numbers of ranks and being...

Chop chop. Let's see some of your results then! :cool: D.
