    Another MCS. The track day toy.

    So, possibly the end of an era, i've taken a holding deposit on the Mini :cry: A chap saw it on M3cutters (as per the R56 fJCW), was looking to build an R53 trackcar and is coming to view it next week. Its not something i ever thought id do, but without off-road storage, i simply cant justify...

    Basic CAD workstation advice?

    OP - what does the tech person at your reseller suggest? With your location id assume that you originally purchased from Cadtek or Solid Solutions?

    The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy

    Just read all the updates & really dont know what to say. Other than, when it does actually finally work, just sell the f*cking thing, its a boosted Clio, it will break as soon as you start to use it in any way properly. They all do. The only one that doesn't fail all the time is the Trophy...

    New car for the summer...... oh s*** wrong season.

    From my understanding, every e36 & e46 M3 has a weeping diff. They were pretty much installed like that from new 😂 I get the roof down in winter thing btw, i only use the Boxster with the roof down, visibility is terrible with it up lol.

    Judging by what has happened with Litecoin as of late, i think that people are joining coinbase, seeing that they can buy 0.008 Bitcoin, or one whole Litecoin, so going with the latter. Long may that continue :up:

    Another MCS. The track day toy.

    Well, due to a complete & utter lack of use, if anyone is interested in a mega spec FWD trackcar: https://www.cliosport.net/threads/high-spec-mini-r53-trackcar-£4-995-ono.813993/#post-11521508 I'm not going to be heavily advertising it (i cant be ar5sed with stupid offers/timewasters), but if...

    It always corrects after a period of significant growth. I said to colleagues it would go to $10k then drop to £8k and recover. Seems that its done that, just at $11k>$9k. As said above, its still up 57% this month lol, so not the end of the world :laughing:

    Awesome work!! I look forwards to receiving my free monies :up: If anyone else wants a referral URL, just send me a PM. I've binned off Trading212 today, they've increased the margin requirement for Bitcoin from 10% to 90% overnight, closing all my positions, costing me £££'s. So they can go...

    RS - Feel the Need

    Because they are all still under warranty lol ... The tech did say it was something he had got quite adept at fixing however 😂 That & the sh1tty mag ride dampers that rattle like they're about to fall off. Not an issue like the FRS HGF though.

    RS - Feel the Need

    @Danny_172 172 Don't buy an 8V RS3 then. I essentially sold mine because the valve stem seals failed (blue smoke on cold start) after Le Mans and it took them 3 months (September) to diagnose the issue & replace the part. When i got it back i was soo f*cked off that i sold it, on the basis that...

    MarkCup's 2017 Ford Focus RS

    Assume they've solved the problem now then, & they're not going to do what Porsche did with the 987 3.4's and just fit another newer version of the same problematic engine that's fitted to it already

    Bitcoins (and other crypto currencies)

    Doh!! Conversely, my purchase of 1 Ethereum & 5 Litecoin on Coinbase has gone from £485 to £560 since August (3 months). In addition, dabbling in Bitcoin/Ethereum/Bitcoin Cash has turned £700 into £1k on Trading212 since May, although admitedly, i was £200 down until 10 days ago when i made...

    Sensible Car. e92 330d.

    Not sure they can do it on the derv boxes, although i will keep researching. This weekend i intend to swop the wiring on on the left paddle so that i can pull it to change down (like the DCT box): (FACTORY DEFAULT) LEFT PADDLE - Thumb press - downshifts. / Fingers squeeze - upshifts. RIGHT...

    981 Boxster S. My first Porsche.

    Just on ebay, right timing, paid less than £100 for 3 months old, barely used! Yeah, the scratches/her paint i've dealt with easily enough, its the " | " shaped vertical crease in the door its left behind that's the problem :neutral:

    981 Boxster S. My first Porsche.

    Ha ha, by all accounts, the logo falls off after about 3 months anyways, so its not the end of the world! Sarah's dad has all sorts of problems with aftermarket/custom car covers not fitting his XKR, so OEM made the most sense to me. Couple of reasons for the Boxster over the Cayman: 1. Cant...

    981 Boxster S. My first Porsche.

    It also fits 100% and was a 2nd hand bargain :kissingheart:

    981 Boxster S. My first Porsche.

    Couple more months of Porsche ownership under our belt & we've now had the car for just over a year :up: Had the MOT done recently and we've done a monumental 3k miles ... Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Some rather lovely company as well :hearteyes: Naturally, no issues to report, makes a...

    the time has come....

    Personally, having friends that work in the body repair industry & hearing about some of the work theyve had to fix after other muppets have bodged it, if i was really bothered about having a car done properly, id simply take it to @gally

    Audi S3, mk1 TT, R26 ex/owners

    I must admit, Sarah's had her TT225 since 2008 and taken it from 60k to 135k and i'd have it in a heartbeat. Probably as ive maintained it, but in the grand scheme of things, its a brilliant car, not the most exciting, but f*ck me, id have saved thousands upon thousands upon thousands of £££'s...

    Meet Evie ;)

    The 21" turbines really make the car imho, it was deffo designed to go on them!! I love them, but being right handed, using a screen that big would be a nightmare. Make more sense in LHD for me - so i clearly need to move to Santa Monica like my bro :up:

    My Brother - Video Games Artist

    Sorry, didn't see this before. He's just done a little piece on exactly that as it happens! https://80.lv/articles/building-environments-for-uncharted-the-lost-legacy/ - some really geeky stuff in there as well. Matt's been working at Naughty Dog for a good 6 months now, so he's been able to put...

    Sensible Car. e92 330d.

    Hmm, might not have the armrest USB option then. Knowing BMW, was probably extra! Ha ha, cheers! It is a very good car to be fair, although i do wish it was a DCT M3 a hell of a lot!! 500 miles to tank stops that train of thought though 😂 As i dont have kids, i guess this a little...

    E91 320d M-Sport

    I'd just go for the twin tailpipe on the left. 335i/d exhausts on a 4 cylinder diesel is a tad lame imho. On the flipside, maybe go the whole hog & add some M3/5 badges, dark tints & polish numberplate surrounds as well?
