Had mine from '98 until I sold it in 2004 when the 182 was ordered.
Great for the time (in a straight line) and one of the very, very few small capacity turbo'd hatches of the era. More impressive that it was from a time where any engine force-fed was frowned upon by the insurers.
Got to admit. That sounds like it would be on par with controlling a Space-X launch with an abacus.
However, gamepad controller integration is more mainstream these days. Playing it on an iPad and Xbox controller combo might not actually be too bad - though no substitute for K&M, imo.
So, so glad it's back in your possession Andy, but your missus is right to call the car Christine!!
It must be an affliction of red cars. A guy I know at work bought an Alfa Giulia in red - loves it to bits but it appears to have a string of unfortunate events with it, one after the other.
I think there's also an extra layer to that with some cars.
It seems these days that either a 1.5 or 1.6 turbo sits in a multitude of cars as the default type of engine. With the RS Clios, they came out the back-end of the era where turbos were deemed to be a swear word and in turn, dialled up...
It's surprising how quickly sat-navs appear archaic. There's the constant changing of roads that requires updates for one thing, but the flexibility of them seems completely outclassed by mobiles and tablets these days.
I use Google Maps when on the PC or need street-view, but the really...
First impressions of CoH3 are very good. They've done a hybridised view of the Total War enlarged map, that pairs up with the battle view familiar to the CoH type of play.
Graphically, it chugs a bit - but it is pre-alpha. I've maxed everything and its either not optimised well or the fact that...
.....and there goes a few hundred hours of my life to this, no doubt. Absolutely, superb news!

Will be interesting how the Italian looking backdrop will pan out. I'd previously hoped that if...
It's a good shout this.
I've got jiffy bags, plastic bags and even sections of toolboxes with various bolts, nuts and washers in them.
When the time comes to find the b******s that you only bought recently, you end up buying yet more as you can't recall where you placed the original lot!
I don't know what I'm surprised at more? That the Monaro is almost the same dimensions as the Volvo. Or that the Volvo seems a bit diddy in comparison?
Looks like a really good racing series. What's the entry car requirements for it?
I bet you had a bit of a twitchy arse around 5mins in on the first video! Well saved though.
Will be interesting to see if BR is a fad. I don’t think it can compete with more dynamic and progressive game modes like Rush and certainly not a patch on 2142’s Titan Mode.
The lack of a campaign is a shame - both BF1 and BFV I really only played for them - just couldn’t get into the online sections at all.
I’m sure I read that EA/DICE weighed up the cost of production for the campaigns compared to the percentage of gamers that actually played through them. It...
Yeah - some games are very CPU intensive.
The holy trinity of gaming is to have decent GPU, CPU and memory. Cut corners on any of those and the other two suffer.
If you like the gameplay of Commandos, then Shadow Tactics will be right up you street.
Another one is Desperados III which puts it all into a cowboy & Western setting. There's a free demo on Steam to download as well - I played that through and really enjoyed it.
I'm liking the 'Audi' and 'Y Oh Y' being used together in the thread header!
Not for me - but if your missus is chuffed with it, that's the main thing. My driving history with Audis is that they do a lot of things good. Just very rarely anything great or special.
It's easy to appreciate why...
That would be (I assume?) - a key requirement of the AC2 development. They will clearly realise that the modding community was a big influence on the number of copies sold.
To be able to support the vast back catalogue of content would be a big incentive for modders to buy AC2 alone.
