A bit has happened in the last 3 months! My uncle welded the chassis up. The more we cleaned it up, the more holes we found. Luckily it's now solid! We have painted it too and it is looking good. Next up the new suspension went on, Koni shocks, stock springs and a courier spring on the rear...

I am wanting to split the HDMI out of my Sky+ HD box (not SkyQ) to various TV's in the house. I've bought a powered splitter from Yesss, it's not this one but looks identical - http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/4-way-4k-hdmi-splitter-n67dv I have one TV next to the sky box, with a 3m cable, another...

More progress was made last night. We removed the engine: Turned out a brand new cutch had been fitted by the previous owner: We also removed the bulk head, this now needs to go to my grandmas up the road for storage while the chassis is worked on: We then checked over the parts of the...

We are lucky to have family support regarding space, my parents have let me use their garage (after some persuading) for storage of the car and my uncle had kindly let us use his for the restoration (of which he is taking on a fair bit). Yeh the chassis is good, some has been replaced, some has...

Finally managed to get started on this, we've been collecting various parts over the last few months but still lots more to buy. We pulled the rear body and bonnet off yesterday to move the chassis and engine to my uncles for work to begin. Minus the body: It braved the weather overnight...

I'm thinking of buying my dad a tablet for christmas, but know nothing about Android ones. An iPad is too much money, and he has a Nexus phone and loves that so I think an Android is the way to go, is this any good? -...

Caught a dodgy bus pass the other month

Details are sketchy, he passed away when I was 4 so not heard the story from him, but my uncle was also in the car at the time although he was very young. Car was only a few years old and for some reason they needed to turn around on a mountain pass, he reversed a tad too far and the car went...

The past month or so me and a friend (David) have been talking about getting a classic to restore and eventually take on the Mongol Rally. The Triumph seemed a natural choice, my Grandad ran them and actually crashed his last one in Slovenia back in the 70s after driving over the edge of a...

I pretty much only use Anker cables now, far better quality than Apple and fully certified so they work every time. They seem to top out at 10ft, which is a bit shorter than you wanted but might do?

@DeeKay86 I havent followed any of this, but does this mean new xbox one games might only run on the new scorpio console as of next year? Or will they just run at lower settings on older xbone consoles?

The difference between Dirt Rally and Project Cars is that in DR you don't mind not winning. PC is just easy enough that you feel you should always win, and when you do make a mistake you get very frustrated since you lose a lot of places. On Dirt you can still finish a fair bit off pace and be...

One good reason to dump kinect is the stupid recognition it does with controllers to work out who has which controller when playing multiplayer. If you're passing it around friends playing Forza you're guaranteed to end up both being signed in as the same person eventually and it completely...

Got this on xbox yesterday. Played it a little on PC while it was in beta as my housemate has it and a G27. This final release is definitely easier, and by that I mean possible. Took a bit of tweaking with the settings to get the wheel set up right but it's great now, the 1-1 mapping of...

Very nice!

No, late January, coming home either a week on Sat or the weekend after for a family birthday.

I have a Sigma 10-20 and a Tonika 11-18 you could borrow, however I won't be back in Halifax until late Jan.

Dirt Rally on XBO, I've played it on a friend's PC a bit but I'm interested to test out the finished product using my G920. Sadly I do not own a PC myself which is capable of running the current release so got to be on console.

Forza 6

CD was essential yes, I did look at Ruark but they are quite expensive too. Anyway, he has the Roberts now, I played around with it today and I'm impressed by it for the money. Sound quality is great and it's very easy to use :)

Thanks for that, actually ended up going for the 100 version as didn't need the recording feature. Sadly it wasn't on display at my local JL but ordered off Amazon anyway off the back of the reviews.

Anyone using one of the 2015 sony sets? Thinking of picking one up but read stories of them crashing, would appreciate any views from real people who've used them rather than just the AV nuts online!

My dad just called me asking if he should buy one, and as much as I love the Bose kit I own myself, I cannot bring myself to suggest he buys one as it's very expensive for what it is and how he'll use it. He wants a CD/DAB/FM player, with built in speakers, that sounds good, is easy to use...

GL05 TKE - My mint inferno cup, was a good one. SK54 WXN / V11 MRJ - My RB182 FF, still my favourite car I've ever owned, I know it went to the south of France in the end, no idea where since. I'd love to get it back some day.

I was also considering the swap, but I think an external SSD might prove a better increase in performance for the cost. There are a few articles/blogs/threads online comparing load times, the differences aren't massive but still significant imo.

The new elite console comes with the new elite controller and a hybrid hard drive which should help with load times a fair bit.

I went for a Ringke case from Amazon, been using them a few years now on my 5/5S/6S and they are a perfect fit and good quality.

A bit more fiddling and most 3rd party software just uses iTunes backups to get your data, and if you don't have one it just tries to perform one. Obviously this just fails, so I need something which accesses the phone directly. I'm talking myself into thinking this is an impossible task on a...

So before anyone tells me to use iCloud or iTunes my phone fails to backup to anything official/apple. I've been through a lot of apple tech support, in store, online and over the phone. Multiple call backs with some customer facing engineer in the states trying to fix this, lots of debugging...

Pneuma breath of life is currently free with gold and is well worth a look if you like puzzle games. Very short but kept us entertained for a couple of hours at the weekend.
