    Project cars

    Bentley Speed 8 was a dream to drive around Oulton. A bit twitchy, but still controllable. I'm not having much luck with the brakes though - I'm too eager with them. Great DLC addition imo. :cool:

    Project cars

    Haha! You've still got a way to get to me though! I hadn't even looked at the Racing Icons pack on Steam - sounds like they are doing exactly what I hoped in terms of small numbers of cars. 5 more for £1.99? Can't grumble at that...

    Project cars

    I thought we just got those two DLCs initially and then anything after, would be chargeable? I could be wrong on that though, m8. I really hope they focus on doing a small number of cars - but well done - rather than many multi-skinned, similar variations of a huge number of car 'templates'. As...

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PC, XBOX ONE, PS4)

    Boo! Don't tell me that! Issues with SLi scaling are something that will be a headache for me with my setup. I am tempted with it - but I just have flashbacks of the hack 'n grind mentality (and frustrations) of Shadow of Mordor. I suspect that W3 is superior in every way - but I don't know...

    182 popping exhaust in 2nd gear

    Totally normal. Mine's done it since day one - though it's much more noticeable if you have an after-market exhaust or backbox fitted. If it's significantly loud - or has a 'metallic' chirk/chink noise to the popping - it could be that the centre section clamp is failing and some exhaust gases...

    Gaming PC Bottleneck?

    You're right. On it's own - switching to a 965 would lead to little in the way of a performance hike. Compared like-for-like against the Haswell-E's (especially the 5960X - 8 core & 20MB cache! :tongueout:) - the 1st gen i7s are quite some distance behind. But chuck one of those 965's in with a...

    Gaming PC Bottleneck?

    Yes m8 - that would be the replacement for yours. Obviously that's just the CPU itself, you'll need a cooler to go on top - unless you have a decent cooler on the 930 already, that you could swap over to? I was going to confirm that your mobo could take one of the Extreme CPUs. But as the...

    Anyone changed pads & discs?

    With the new rears that you'll be buying (and another shout here for @George@RTR_Parts on here) - make sure that the washer goes the correct way around. If not, your new rear discs will have bearing failure much, much quicker than normal. Been there - done that myself, on one side of the car...

    Silver Ph1 - Asda Ashton under Lyne

    If it's the same silver Ph.1 that I'm thinking of - it is el rapido! Supercharged, iirc.

    Morgan Factory Tour - Malvern

    No, I know that. Just that the 911 range has long been a favourite of mine. Then some designer decided to do what they did with the 996 lights and it was all a bit 'ewww' at the front end. What I'm saying is that the Porsche example was bad enough. But with the Aero? It has a front end that...

    Morgan Factory Tour - Malvern

    Got to admit - those three wheelers look a riot - proper fun. Not sure about those Aero ones above though. They just look like they they've head-butted a lamp-post and not even attempted a repair. I never liked the Porsche 996 tear-drop headlights - but these Morgans are a whole new level...

    XCOM 2

    Of course you do - like the rest of us. On the Platform of Win...... ;)

    Gaming PC Bottleneck?

    It's certainly worth checking out some of the second-hand LGA1366 i7 CPUs out there. While going for some of the high end six-core versions would not only be overkill, but prices are still in dreamland - the slightly lesser ones (quad-core) are sensible money. That said, I did see a 980 on there...

    Fallout 4

    Is that Dogmeat in the clip??!

    PC only - Humble Bundle - Thank me later

    It's not as good as CoH1 imo. Worth a bash though. Bit of a hardware bruiser with everything maxed out.

    XCOM 2

    And the problem with that, is?

    Audi A3 Saloon

    Hahahaha! Sorry - did I just read "£50k on an S3"??? Good god. I need to ditch my job and become an Audi salesman. Money must be growing on trees out there.... Almost, but not quite as funny as seeing a Tdi Eos outside the local VW garage for a few pence short of £30k. [emoji38]

    Few pics of the clio

    Great effort! Definitely stands out. I prefer the front alloys compared to the rear ones. Could you wrap the rear cage in the same colour? I'd actually think about colour coding the side strips to black. It would work well as a 'dividing' line around the car - alongside that black bumper strip...
