    My Clio's twin (well almost)

    Followed another black Clio home last night from Blackburn. The reg on it being MJ54 AWX. Mine's MJ54 FWX. They could have almost been seperated at birth. ;) D.

    Anyone use SLi boards at the moment?

    Have you noticed any specific improvement in having the 2nd gfx card in there? Just intrigued as to whether or not it would be worth a Fleabay search for another 7900GTX? Has anyone used a single card for a bit and then tried an SLi-supported game with the 2nd card running alongside...

    Deaf by Vee....

    ......ring ring.................ring ring................:banghead: Yep, a good five hours since we got back from a blast over to Bakewell and my ears are still buzzing. It's the first chance I've had this week to be a co-pilot in the Vee since its Quicksilver back-box transplant, last...

    Geek diesel question (aka pointless thread alert)

    Is the concept of a supercharged diesel, quite pointless? I can see the benefits of turbo'ing a diesel, but with a supercharger's inherent low-down power delivery, would that just be silly on a diesel anyway? I read in Evo that someone said that Mazda had done a supercharged diesel 626 some...

    '03 Silver 172 outside 'The Waggon at Birtle' - just now

    Drove past it now on the way back home. Didn't spot any CS stickers on it. D.

    Oblivious feckers...... :(

    Well, it HAD to happen at some point, I guess. After two years of panel-damage free ownership, some tosspot has decided to open their car door - WALLOP - straight into the rear quarter of mine. Probably someone with 86 bags of Christmas shopping or struggling to get their little brats strapped...

    TFT response times

    Right chaps. Being a CRT veteran, but increasingly being tempted to the TFT darkside, could anyone shed some light on 'real world' scenarios on TFT monitors with decent response times? The ones I've been looking at typically have a response time of either 8 or 6ms - but I've seen some with...

    Brass monkey's (and a crap pic)

    Joined the M66 this morning at a good 75mph and this bloke actually overtook me on this..... Must have been freezing his nads off as when we stopped in traffic, he kept putting his hands on the engine housing! :D D.

    F.E.A.R players - a bit of help, please!

    Just a bit stuck on where to go from here..... I can't jump the gap (instant death) and the only other place I've seen to move 'forward' is a missing roof-tile and the cavitiy section above. It seems a little high to jump up, so I assume I have to find some way of getting up there? There...

    Are you a *****? (pic)

    Or I am I seeing something in that reg plate that I shouldn't be? A lady of the night, perhaps? :rolleyes: D.

    In-game understatements. No.1

    "......... there's a lot of anger in this room.." Sh1t? Really? D.

    172 Cup - parked up near Canterbury St., Blackburn

    Seen it a few times now - clearly the owner must work there. Anyone off here? D.

    First computer game to sh1t you up?!

    I definitely remember mine - Scarabaeus. Playing at 9 years old, running around a maze with 'something' in the maze trying to hunt you down. http://www.commodore.tv/detail.php?id=6591&name=Scarabaeus The basis of the game (iirc) was to find a section of maze that had a tiled-puzzle on the...

    Lowered '54 blue 182 - Union St. (?), Haslingden

    Spotted it this morning. Looked to be non-Cupped, but it was riding low! :cool: Anyone off here? D.

    How fecking good is F.E.A.R?!

    Only just started in properly - now that my PC can run it at a decent rate. Some really neat effects in it and far, far more unnerving than any of the Doom/Quake games. I know I'm way behind the times on this one, but for those of you who haven't tried it - you should! :) D.

    Advice on my oil level.

    Checked it again this week and it's roughly 3/4 the way up the gauge. Is it best leaving it as it is, or should I top it up to just under the top notch? I don't want to run the risk of overfilling, tbh.... Cheers, D.

    Mick_172_Cup... on Shadsworth?

    Was it you on there jus now, m8? Couldn't see detail on the car due to sun glare. Had to turn back as I forgot to drop something off at the warehouse, around the back - hence passing you twice.... :cool: D.

    It's that time of year again, folks.....

    Got in the car this morning and a flashing '-1' came on the dash. First freezing temp of the year for me, so hopefully the 172 Cup owners are taking it a little easy with the Stop pedal..... ;) D.

    GTR2 laptimes - any car, any track - post them here

    At the request of BenR :rasp: - can anyone with recorded laptimes in GTR2 post them here? Ideally, with a screenshot attached? Not limits on track choice, car alterations, tyre choice, fuel onboard, etc - just let us know what you selected and what time you got. As posted on the other thread...

    Snails like my Clio.....

    Twice is one week now. :S I opened the boot to put the laptop in there and noticed two snails stuck on the inside of the tailgate itself. Picked them off and put them in the bushes at the side. Last Wednesday - the two snails then, were in the same place as these this morning??? If they think...

    GTR2 - what are your laptimes at Donington?

    I'm slowly getting the hang of that Saleen S7-R - especially at Donington, so I wanted to know what kind of times I should aim at? Cheers, D.

    M7* NYK - Willy heading into Bury this morning

    Spotted it and posted before. Each time, there's always a c0ck in the traffic between me and the Williams... :dapprove: Anyone off here? D.

    Modded silver 172. Bake Make (?), Bromborough, Wirral

    Saw it at the front of the carpark at the bakery as I was on the way to our Wirral depot. Didn't see much, but is it anyone's off here? D.

    Silver 182 - The Willows pub, Blackburn today

    Spotted it in the car park while I was crawling forward in traffic. Anyone off here? I didn't catch the reg no. D.

    Some 182 Trophy advice, please.....

    In a nutshell, a worthy upgrade from a FF 182? I've had my 182 for nearly 2 years now and I'm thinking of speaking to place I got it from and tranferring the finance to a 2nd hand Trophy. I really, really like the look of them - especially seeing one up close (cheers Ad!) on the NW Run the...

    Blue 182 - near Blackburn Rovers - approx 12.20 today.

    Spotted it coming the other way - '04 plate, iirc. I was in a work's Golf at the time, so you wouldn't have seen me..... ;) Anyone? D.

    £200 for a steering wheel?

    http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/GB/EN,CRID=2217,CONTENTID=11867 Looks great - especially the 3-pedal setup and the 6-speeder gearstick, further down the page. Cheapest I saw was around 150 notes on dabs.com, but I can't see it being good for the majority of racing games that...

    Omg! Gtr2!

    Well, Amazon delivered it to me this morning and I can categorically state, that with the exception of GT Legends that preceded it - there is no finer racing game in existance. Anyone who liked the original GTR will love this. From the additional hike in graphics and sound to the increased...

    Mk1 green Clio on it's roof - Grane Road tonight

    Looked a bad smash. Driver was out of the car and had blood from his head and the Police arrived just as I went past. A couple of cars had stopped by then too. Hope it was no-one on here? :( D.

    182 FF Baked Bean - turning onto Grane Road this morning...

    Spotted it ahead of me in the traffic, on the slip-road off the M66. Saw another Baked Bean near Tesco in Blackburn yesterday too. Bloody Inferno colour is common as muck! ;) D.
