Definitely set a benchmark that game. I'd argue that the first game was the best of the series and it wasn't until I got a GTX690 that the performance was worthy of pushing the visuals at a decent rate. Thinking about it - I'm not sure if I've actually finished the first game? I recall...

I think I'll stay clear of this one.... lol.

Interesting with the PSP. Is that along the lines of Pandora and running an arcade emulator that way? I only ask as my Pandora'd PSP is shoved away in a drawer somewhere and never sees the light of day. If I revamped it to run stuff like this, that could be fun. I have a RetroPi too - but as...

It's a pretty powerful app for free - a bit like Garageband. That's strangely addictive to have a dabble with every now and then.

It’s worse now - that pic is fairly old. I know - it’s weird. Even a cheap Halfords car cover would be better than nothing. Those tyres will be ruined by now as well [emoji853]

Wha?? Heading down towards the war memorial from the Darwen side, just look down the little dead-end side street that runs alongside The Skylark chippy. There’s a silver V parked up there, caked in leaves, twigs, splatterings of mud from rain -you name it. It’s been there as long as we’ve been...

Seems to be around the 2-3 year mark when a lot of owners sell them on. The honeymoon period passes - the windy draught in your empty wallet gets tiresome and you're immensely paranoid about every knock and rattle that you 'think' you hear. Evos cost a lot to run - and whichever way you look...

Just get that V slowly dying amongst the undergrowth, next to The Skylark chippy, Chris. I wince every time I glance at it in passing.

Definitely this. I wouldn't want to be chastised by a lengthy set of rules, if instead you could tinker away with your car and have fun on open track days.

As above - you'll have to be willing to make the distance if the car that meets your expectations, is far away. When I went looking at the Evo - that was 250 miles away - one way, from me. Then back after I viewed it, then back and forth again once I bought it - in all, 1,000 miles for it to...

Great responses guys - these are exactly the sort of comments I was after in terms of people who had done similar, or at least knew someone who has. As above, £20k into an Astra GTE is absolute idiocy from a money perspective. But with projects such as this, the financial aspect is secondary -...

This same thought has cropped up a few times over the years with regards to my 182. It's well into its twilight years now - and with regular posts of 1*2s being broken, scrapped or simply sold for peanuts - I've repeatedly thought about the revamp route. Why? Well I have a lot of personal...

I'm glad someone else agrees! I test drove an EP3 from Honda when they were currently available from the showroom. Apart from the great seating position, the one memory I hold in high regard was with that gearbox and gearchange. A superb piece of engineering - and like you said, pretty much...

So pointless - that's its actually brilliant. Great work!

Yep - mine did this - I got distracted when my wiper mechanism was last out and only finger-tightened one of the bolts. Stopped sweeping while doing about 50mph on the carriageway in the rain.... Easy fix - also make sure that your mechanism slides onto the mounting peg at the back of the...

I think the main issue with VR, is your clumsiness in the real world when using it. Sure, it's fine with a sit-down driving game behind a decent Logitech/Fanatec setup and chair in place. But that's about it. The illusion of being immersed into what you're viewing works when you can physically...

I'm thinking of increasing my PC's storage. A couple of these will suffice.... :P https://www.scan.co.uk/products/1536tb-samsung-pm1633a-25-enterprise-ssd-sas-3-12gb-s-dp-mlc-3d-v-nand-1250mb-s-read-1250mb-s-write2

Most disappointed that we're #70 posts into this thread, with no response from @Daniel yet.... ;)

Something like this, perhaps? https://mapline.com/features/create-a-map-from-excel-spreadsheet-data/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA_s7fBRDrARIsAGEvF8R6iZL_TsG79I6vUUbottA2idYNG1zAm9O4zNyB3iZw2ffmfRPiLSIaAr3vEALw_wcB

60GB+ size, at a guess?

Some good pricing on SSDs around this time of year.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01F9G46Q8/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Glad I read this. The only reason I buy COD games are for the campaigns. First one that I’ll be ignoring then....

Was that the one mapped at Ade’s place?

Seems like a good all-round spec, tbh. Wise move switching to the larger PSU - you can never really fail by getting a better power supply. The 1070 'should' be good enough for quite a while yet. As there's continually more interest in cross-platform games, the limiting factor holding back the...

Excellent purchase Andy! I hope you dodge the overheating issues that a lot of 2080 owners are complaining about. Now what were you saying about that 1080Ti for sale? £50 delivered, you said? :P

Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion - free for a limited time.... https://www.humblebundle.com/store/sins-of-a-solar-empire-rebellion?hmb_source=humble_home&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=mosaic_section_1_layout_index_1_layout_type_twos_tile_index_1

I get that. I just want to put different rally cars through different stages and try to set a decent time. The rallycross section was ok, but the dune buggy thing was awful. If it reflects real life in anyway, those things must simply pirouette on a tenth of the throttle. Really liked the...

He's back...

Good to see that Rockstar have made the glue-sticks as intelligent as they are in real life, then? Unpredictable, four-legged shitting-machines...

Cracking effort. I personally couldn't live with the cheese-grater front grille though...
