Jesus. If they stayed on the car for a week, I'd be surprised. Even if they couldn't fit a regular badmanz Merc - they would still be stolen for want of trying.

I love how much he loves these barges! Definitely something unusual on the roads these days - plus, extremely practical as well.

Absolute hero purchase. At least you can tick the box to say you had one though.

Maybe not in saloon form as such. But a 4x4 drivetrain, force-fed 2.0litre lump, great performance.... I'd actually partner it more to the Evo than anything like the brand stablemates C63/E63. But you're right - the Evos always need a proper spoiler! Subtle changes in appearance (assuming this...

Have to agree there. Buy any of the A-series options if you want understated. Go full, genuine AMG spec - and I think it needs its trinkets. Either that, or I'd be de-badging it completely if it was mine. Would you have had your Evo with no aero bits on it? ;)

Love how 'empty' that bay is now. I bet you could change the headlight bulbs without pissing about with the front bumper? :)

I thought that too? Surely Midnight Blue is the rarest in that list above. Wasn't there only one V6 registered in that colour?

As above - @gally is your man for advice on this. Hope you manage to get it sorted.

Will be interesting what you think of it. I'm coming up upon Level 25 on my character and am kind of looking forward to either hitting 30, or finishing the campaign. Its far from crap - especially as it sounds and looks so good. It just niggles at me that its tantalizingly close to being epic -...

North of 160k on mine and still crunch-free (fingers crossed). I think what might have helped it was the first gearbox oil change at 12k. Somewhere in Northern Frenchland, my 182 gearbox mistakenly came off the custard doughnut line and not through Renault. Stirring slightly melted lard was...

Knocking on the door of level 20 in the campaign. Only had one crash so far and a broken quest where going down one level and then back up, made the quest marker still visible, but the target to kill was nowhere in sight. Visually, it's great. The same goes for the audio. But in terms of...

I'd agree. 3GB is what I'd deem entry-level these days. Even three years ago, I was using a 2GB graphics card and it was taking a performance battering at times - in almost standard HD resolution - 1920x1200. Also as @SharkyUK says - installed game sizes are going up significantly - some...

Personally - I would address the basics first - swap both the engine and gearbox oils. Make sure that your pads have plenty of life on them and the tyres have enough tread on them....... then go for a track day. I wouldn't recommend ploughing time & money into changing a car that you might be...

@mace¬ - Do you have a Steam account? If so, PM me the email address assigned to it - I've got a spare key for Galactic Civilizations III, if you want it? It should run on the minimum specs - especially if you run it in a window and not full-screen.

Nice one! If you can - try not to Rambo-it. You can play the game (and win) being all gung-ho - but its so much more enjoyable playing it delicately and taking your time. The only mission that really would test your patience in not being seen, is the DLC mission where Hitler is surveying the...

Great write-up - looks like superb fun! Really wish the 182 was available in that colour that's on your back bumper - goes well with the dark coloured alloys.

This - definitely. You really don't notice how inferior (the majority) of TVs are in comparison to a decent monitor - until you try it. When I connect the PC to the TV via SteamLink, I have to be selective on what I can play. Anything requiring rapid screen refreshing such as AAA FPS or racing...

Which rubber pad did you go for in the end?

The Deluxe Edition is currently on offer on Steam for £12.99. Worth it all day long... https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/Rebellion?snr=1_41_4__42

Lol - as much as I'd have one of these - I know where you're coming from. I'd never in a month-of-Sundays have a Golf R. They tick so many boxes on so many levels - but I'm just sick and tired of seeing them everywhere.

That would certainly be a factor for me - not that it would ultimately put me off though. However, the previous ST was a Scroat Magnet and the new version just has everyone singing its praises. It will become a main target unfortunately, for sure....

Does flocking get 'dirty' as such? We all know how dusty the dash gets over time - I assume this just settles down onto the flock itself?

Definitely good going. Needs the camera raising a bit though.

Be wary of the cost of some of these sensors. They are in an exposed, hot environment and if original - will be at least 14+ years old. Although relatively easy to access - the likes of the upstream oxygen sensor alone is around £140-£150 mark, I believe?

Lol - I hit that last night too.

Apologies for my ignorance - but if you went completely the other way with the intakes and made them super smooth and evenly polished to micron depths - would that make next to jack-all difference either? All interesting stuff, this!

BG is an absolute pig of a colour to get right and back up to looking good. But when you do - its SO worth it. Good job there!

That's my understanding and total dislike of the battle royale type game modes. Why people would want to enter a game, get killed by either a flukey shot or a much better player - then sit in a lobby for several minutes waiting for the bloodbath to finish - is far from my idea of fun. Sounds...

Interesting noise comparison. I went for the same system with the unsilenced centre section, but kept the CAT for MOT reasons. Mine sounds very similar as you'd expect - but not as raspy, if that makes sense? I do remember the system being a bargain for what I paid at KTEC for it. Might be...

Put about 90 minutes of solo time into this over the weekend. So far, so good. Some of the elite enemies still retain that level of daftness where even a microscopic level of realism goes out the window. I captured a checkpoint with the assistance of some friendly AI agents. We took it over no...
