A posh bit..... of Birkenhead? Does not compute. ;)

Yeah fair comment, will certainly see a better return that way, used PCs have to be so cheap it's untrue to shift. Only thing I'm dithering on is there's a 750Gb 2.5" SSD in there at the moment and I'm definitely noticing the difference in load times compared to the 250Gb M2 SSD plus 4Tb...

I have got away with it so far :D Got to say, this is one hideous looking machine. The case is absurd - a proper old school full tower job that barely fits under my desk with an ITX motherboard hiding away in it. I've had very little time to play with it, it came with a completely vanilla Win10...

It’s a rediculous price, cheaper than even used stuff! it’s Zoostorm’s eBay store http://www.ebaystores.co.uk/zoostorm-sales They have a similar spec Ryzen 1700X machine for about the same price and some i7700 (not K) machines with hefty discounts too. Looks like they put their refurbs on...

They reduced it to £860 overnight. I just bought it. By the time I’ve sold my existing machine that’s going to work pretty much the same as me just going out and buying a 1080. Man maths always wins. Maybe the OH won’t notice the big black box under my desk has suddenly become a big white...

Must...... resist................ The wife would actually kill me, and with good reason, we're about to spend a chunk of her savings on doing the house up. If a new PC arrives, that's going to be..... challenging..... to explain :D

It's down to £1100. I'm in so much trouble.

Yeah never really enjoyed the driving that much in JC3, but then you have tons of choices as to how to get around so you can fly or parachute or whatever instead :)

I must keep repeating the mantra.... “There will always be another deal...” ;)

Nice 90's garage there. Loving the 5 pots.

I was very nearly in trouble. Found a system with this spec: i7 7700K overclocked to 4.8 ghz GTX 1080 16gb 2400 ram 256 M2 SSD & 4Gb HDD Asus ROG STRIX Z270H motherboard Watercooled It’s a “scratch and dent” refurb job with 12 month warranty because of a small crack in the front of the case...

Nah, it’s whatever lane we damn well want. ?

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realise this was PistonHeads, I'll go to ClioSport instead :D Today's characterless, bland, boring boxes are tomorrow's interesting, different, alternative choices. It has always been thus. Do love me a nice retro car though.

I'll probably stick where I am for a while and then just shell out for a whole new machine, I'm just not sure how worthwhile it is upgrading on top of this platform much further, the motherboard is seven/eight year old tech now. It can still cope fine with what I'm doing now, plays stuff like...

1440p at the moment - if I went 1070/1070 Ti it would be the last GFX card upgrade for this setup, would probably go 4K next time. The 1080 seems to still be quite expensive compared to the 1070 and I'm not sure I need the extra grunt for 1440p - all the more if the CPU is going to be a...

Considering my next upgrade. I've been running my current PC since the end of 2012 so it's done really well, all it's had upgraded is an extra 8Gb of RAM to take it up to 16Gb and a graphics card upgrade. Spec is: i5 3570K quad core running at 4.5Ghz (stock 3.3) GTX 970 4Gb 16Gb RAM 500Gb SSD...

There was definitely suspicion that the press cars had been..... um....... “tweaked” a bit :)

Please stop posting pictures of that 855, the want is strong.

And yet when they were new 90’s cars were derided for all looking the same and being boring. The more things change, the more they stay the same :)

I just took the fog lights out and cut holes in the wheel arch liners, bit of generic ducting, job done.

What a piss boiler. Suspect he was in that van and they were scouting the neighbourhood. That's pretty impressive resolution on that camera though, I was surprised that the scum was so clear on it when full-screening the image.

Nothing in the MoT regulations about that, I checked recently when I removed my door cards. They get upset about sharp bits on the bodywork that could injure pedestrians but the driver can spray blood all over the interior, not a problem ;)

That sounds very wrong, I’d stop using it until you can get the charger sorted out TBH. I doubt it’s doing the machine any good at all if you’ve got sparking and shutdowns.

WBAC prices are just a reflection of what their data shows they can get for a particular car at a particular time. They're part of the BCA group and pay well for cars that will be easy to sell into the dealer networks they serve, anything else just gets punted in their general auctions so they...

And then they come back after having looked for and bought something "better/faster" and buy another one, because they're just so much fun :)

Teaser trailers for games..... what a world we are living in :D

Very nice. Is it wrong that one of my main reasons for wanting to own one is so I can call it Lambo Calrission? I’ll get my coat.......

Fair comment ref the pricing, I guess the question is whether you want to keep the mag ride dampers or not. If you've not got them then coilovers with adjustable damping would seem like better value.

I've always liked these, apparently it's possible to dial out a lot of the understeer with some choice suspension bits: https://www.msskits.com/audi-full-and-standard-kit.html

Amen to that, kids today don't know how good they've got it, etc etc etc :D
