Years back, I grew wary of upcoming bills. made worse by the stuff you can't plan for like punctures, etc. I took the decision to have a standing order that put £250 per month into a separate account - mainly to create a pot for any car-related funds to be drawn from. It saved me a few times...

Rear shocks are very easy to replace yourself - is the one that's leaking banging away as you drive along? OEM driveshafts are a whole different level of expensive. I bought a set direct from Renault probably about 18 months ago now. They had a cash-back offer for returning the old shafts...

It's kind of what I like/despise about Nintendo. They give zero phucks about pretty much everything as they know the hardcore faithful will buy it regardless - along with sales from the weird taste in gaming that exists solely within Japan. They could release "Mario Fists Badgers" and it would...

Welcome aboard! I think I'd be up for manslaughter if someone smashed into and wrote off an S2000 of mine!

I know what you mean. I fired up the Test Range to make sure I had my sensitivity and keys mapped correctly and it 'felt' right. Scoping up was slick and direct - and best of all - I could select the weapons using the mouse scroll wheel. My god DICE. Who would have EVER thought that would fall...

After the recent format of the PC, I've spent what seemed to be a considerable amount of time in getting BF1 and BF4 back downloaded. I tried BF1 (again) and my interest waned after about 20 minutes. I just hope the next BF game doesn't follow the same model as this. Quite keen in getting...

Learn something new every day - I didn't even know those existed!

I didn't find Rally too overly difficult, tbh. Sure, to get super fast times were tricky, but it was quite easy to get with the flow using a straight-forward 360 pad, for me. It was using a wheel that I struggled with - lol.

Three rotor - so not RX-7 stock lump (aside from the insane turbocharger bolted on as well) - but far more entertaining that the Stephen Hawking in a fish tank video I posted earlier.... Just need sound and fast forward to about 4.40...

There's an elegance to its simplicity for me...

The explanation to the wife is the easy part. She would just want to know when she could drive it!

The worry would be an intrinsic part of the ownership experience. Imagine being able to have one though and shrug your shoulders at an engine rebuild. Must be great! There's nothing like it though. Twin rotors, twin turbos. Unique noise. Similar thirst to something much higher in capacity. It...

I would love this. No doubt when things started to go wrong, it would make the mortgage on a 10-bedroom mansion seem cheap. But - just to have it until then! :blush...

Probably what's started to creak on mine in this last week or so. I'll get them done at the next service along with the TREs and ball-joints. Just a shame there's no urgency for the engine to come out!

No worries. :smiley: If you find a genre that you like, it's scary just how much it will pull you in and time simply vanishes. I'm a big fan of Larry Bond's Harpoon series (http://www.matrixgames.com/products/325/details/Larry.Bonds.Harpoon.-.Commanders.Edition) and used to play a lot of the...

How in-depth do you actually want to go? Some of the SSI/Matrix Games titles are serious heavy-hitters - but these are aimed for pure strategy first, looks and feel second. Titles such as War in the Pacific : Admiral's Edition -...

M1 Tank Platoon, back in the halcyon days of Microprose and the Amiga! Played that through and through - getting each crew in each tank of my platoon up to elite status. Multiple times! Other than that, I used to be fairly good with the tanks in BF2142 - especially the hover tank. These days...

Are you on about the tapered ring that goes with the hub bearing? It's essential that you get that the correct way around or else the life of the new bearing will be a LOT shorter.

A bit more subtle, perhaps? Its difficult to obtain your view from the above.... :wink:

Flol! I actually went through the majority of my library the other week and there were several games that I had zero knowledge of owning. I think the majority come from the Humble Bundle offers - where you get 5 to 7 games when you actually only want 1 or 2.

I'd say the battery too. Sounds very similar to what happened to mine. Got a lift to Halfords, bought a new one and all was good again.

That should never exist with an online FPS game. Why not just press 'X' on FIFA to score every time you're in the box? Or hold down the right trigger when approaching a bend in Forza - which makes the car follow the perfect line through the apex? I have slight piss-rage when I see aim assist in...

Definitely part of the mobo itself? That sounds like a very bad design - just for this type of scenario. What make and model is it?

Yep - just ClioSport.net - unless you PM me your Steam user ID and I'll invite you in :)

Nice one chaps! :cool: It's a shame that the weakest part of the entire CoH2 'pack' - is the initial Soviet campaign. Don't let it put you off - try to stick with it if you can, because it really is a true gem of an RTS game. Once you get to the German and American campaigns, it really does...

CoH2 Master Collection - on Steam again at £7.49.... http://store.steampowered.com/sub/84759/

Flick your centre caps out - it will look miles better - trust me.

15s work really well on these imo, so long as you've got a corresponding drop in ride height. I really liked them on mine when I borrowed a set. I suspect you might have the standard struts - even with 15s, it does look a little high. A set of Eibach Sportlines will work wonders on there. On...
