Great weather for it today - but bloody freezing! Still, no doubt that helped maximise the benefit to the turbo'd engines :) Good mix of cars on track today - in particular one of the RC Evo's and a great sounding Scooby Clinic Impreza. RC Car...

Does anyone have one fitted? I was looking at the 6400+ Edition - not bad for the price. Though I'm wondering if the clock increase to 3.2Ghz is enough to warrant the upgrade from my current 2.64Ghz? Then again, if the Black Edition could easily handle 10% stock increase - that would be 3.52Ghz...

I try hard....... like really hard not to delve into the pointless ramblings of manufacturer FAQs on websites. They are usually full of the most pointless and irrelevant questions, that it makes you wonder what amoeba thought them up in the first place. I'm therefore, pleased to announce that...

Calling all PC techies - any idea what could be causing the blackness in the pic attached? On some levels of COD4 it looked really bad - like I was playing in monochrome. :( Neither my other two current games of Crysis or Gears of War suffer from it. Neither did the COD4 demo, strangely...

I'm really new to any of this, but have borrowed a Canon MV630i analogue camcorder and want to offload the video to my PC. I've connected a 4 to 6 pin Firewire-400 cable to it and tried allsorts of options on the camera - but the PC just doesn't pickup on the feed coming to it. I've tried the...

It's got me thinking this. I've made no change to where (or how) I drive in the past month, but I changed the ITG filter back to a virtually new filter the other week. Typical MPG now has dropped from a midge's under 35 to 33.4. Tiny numbers in their own right, but I fill up once and week and...

.... go on lad - hope you got a proper one out of there! ;) On the M66 this morning - heading Bury way. I briefly saw it yesterday, but today the traffic meant you were going slower. Plenty of time to put the picking finger to some good use! D.

Barry Scott would be SO pleased with the results - not that I used Cillit Bang on my car, mind! It must have been a certain tree I'd parked under. The rest of the car had a few specs which came off with washing - but the bonnet and front wings had a proper coating of the sticky stuff. After...

Thought I'd get around to a little bit of painting in the engine bay, today...... Not the first to do it, by any means, but it looks a bit better than dull the silver(ish) colour showing through the plastic cover. I used that Halfords Very High Temp. spray paint (rated to 500C, iirc)...

Sorry m8 - I saw you give the thumbs up but I was focusing more on the 'tard in front! ;) D.

Anyone off here? Parked facing the Chequers Bar/Cafe building. D.

With the unnaturally clean V6.... :cool: Of course, I would say that due to mine being coated in sheit again! P.S. Didn't mean to cut in front of you either - sorry about that - I thought you were going the Ossy way for some reason. D.

Rounded up a fair few of the local Vee owners - and two not so local ones (Steve & Shaun! :)) for a few night's stay in Sedbergh. We were crammed into various nooks and crannies - almost like our own Vauxhall advert with the hiding Corsas.... ;) Before everyone else had...

'03 172 Cup in the lay-by near Tescos.... Tubby red 197, leaving the petrol station where Subway is. We've just got our Quad F (foot-long, fat-ba5tard, Friday) sub now.... ;) D.

...... I think the reg started 'L5'. It was foggy though and I only spotted you at the last minute. Would have been 8.10am (ish) this morning. Anyone? D.

Had an extra interest in this as we have a works sponsored car in it - driven by our MD and another director... Sealed VAG units - the same for all cars. 150bhp 1.8 20v engines, iirc... The team in the next bay had a bad idling problem - sounding really lumpy and then...

I don't know what it is - but it's good! :approve: In the past few weeks, it's had its 36k service. Been fed nothing but Tesco's 99RON juice (about five tankfuls) and the weather has noticably gone cooler. Maybe a combination of all three have added to the 182's low-down grunt, recently? I was...

Just a general question chaps. Our G5 Mac has no issue at all getting on the internet. However, the software updates option just doesn't seem to to work - it times-out eventually. I'm wondering if the updates use a specific port that we are currently blocking? Or is it something more obvious...

Mornin! :) Spotted you on the outside lane of the M6 earlier on. We were sat in that car park of traffic heading southbound. Around Charnock Richard, I think? D.

....went past on the opposite side of the M6. Had Lexus-style rear light clusters. Would have been just after 1pm this afternoon.... D.

Had a private plate that ended in 'TYS' iirc. Only spotted it at the last minute - I gave a quick wave and got one back. ;) Anyone off here? D.

After getting the trackday as a Chrissy present last year, today was the day that Jain finally got to use it. First up in the 197 and then the single seater, all of us in Jain's entourage (lol!) were hoping like mad that the rain held off. It did for the most part, but we did see one spinner...

I'm in the process of uploading the mobile phones onto our phone switch so it displays a name on the incoming calls, rather than just a mobile number. I've got a full list of names and numbers in an Excel 2003 spreadsheet, but I'd like to add the word 'Mobile' at the end of everyone's name e.g...

How did he go on (assuming it was him! :o).... did he manage to sell it? The RSi looked the absolute nads - really spot-on perfect and for a decent price, imo. Can't believe it had 84k on the clock!! D.

Most CDs that you get with hardware are just full of crap - usually old drivers, apps and crap games. In a 7900GTX box that arrived this week, I thought I'd have a quick mooch on the CDs and see what was there. Clicked on the demo games bit and one was called Armored Fist 3. Being a bit of a...

Means diddly-squat to me in my daily job, but some Mac users maybe interested? http://www.pcpro.co.uk/macuser/news/124545/pantone-goes-for-2000-new-colours.html D.

First time I'd been on track at Donington and being the co-pilot, had quite a few chances to take some pics. I really need a more powerful camera! Anyways...... on the way out (grinning like a big kid at this point :cool:) Under the Dunlop bridge.... Some Yorkshireman...

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=364166 Ok, so it's no longer the cutting edge of graphics - no DX10 support, etc. But for the money, it's still a good card. And it appears to be in stock too. :) D.

'03 plate silver 172 complete with CS and Yozza stickers on it. Parked up near the entrance (brave lad!) - about 30mins ago.... D.
