    STOLEN from Notts - RB 182 - REG K13 CAG.

    That's part of my rationale as to WhyTF car keys/cards have the bloody manufacturer name or logos all over them? A go-kart car park might not be too big - but something like a supermarket or shopping centre is. If some scroat stole the keys - at least it would take longer to actually track down...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Still one of the de-facto performance motherboards to get. I won't be replacing my Rampage III Extreme with an up-to-date equivalent though, as 90% of abilities are just wasted on me. It will still be an Asus mobo though - whichever one I decide to get.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Quite surprised at those results - I would have thought they would be a fair bit higher? Especially when you consider my CPU is 2008 vintage... That said, I tend not to take much to heart with these benchmarking tools. There are so many tiny variations that create (or alter) a score - I just...

    Star Wars Battlefront

    Graphics mods for the PC arriving already. Takes a big chunk out of your FPS from the sounds of it. If you've got the hardware however.....

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Wow - your monitor is properly broke. The red 'on' ring is replicated on your screen. :wink: Yeah - a tricky one that. It does stand out - enough that it would bug me too. I haven't even sampled the 144hz loveliness yet - that I am looking forward to. I'm wondering if there's any mods out...

    Ah - not good. Are you using them straight away? Not a Christmas present or anything??

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Hi m8, Yes I did - I brought it into work rather than faff around at home. Worked perfectly on the tests I did here - not one dead pixel! :) Not had chance to actually try out any of the G-Sync features yet though. All the DisplayPort enabled cards here are the onboard graphics ones -...

    DiRT Rally

    Nabbed it today - only £20.99 on cdkeys.... 30 minutes download at work - would have taken days at home! ;)

    Yeah - fingers crossed it's a good one! I've had my previous 27" Iiyama for several years now - but I think it's time I moved out of the 60hz zone.... :smile: Glad you mentioned that m8 - I'll be opening it this weekend and testing it. I'd be a bit pissed if it did have dodgy pixels and I...

    Picked up the below for Christmas. Just got 22 days to wait now..... :smirk:

    Doom 4 Beta! This weekend only.

    Seems very short for a Beta window? Surely they would allow the minimum of a weeks' access - or longer?

    '05 RB182 in Darwen this morning

    Parked just a bit further on than Lidl.

    The first home computers

    Hah! I went through several joysticks on the C64 with that. Iirc, the last event was the 1,500 metres and that was an arm killer. Always made me laugh how the graphics made DT's torso look like it was rotating, rather than his arms swinging in motion.

    The first home computers

    Same spec as my first PC! An Elonex 486-SX 25Mhz with 2MB memory and a 52MB hard drive. I got that back in November 1992 and cost just over a grand back then - mainly under the guise of using it for college work (lol). The following year, I went baller spec and bought a 486-DX 33Mhz CPU to go...

    Battlefield 4

    On repeat - I need to get back into this! :)

    Motorola Moto series... anyone got one?

    Got a Moto G phone for work and it's the only phone in 18 years of having a mobile that I've actually flung once! I think that's an Android frustration rather than anything to do with the phone, though. Silly little quirks like my Gmail client currently being 5.1 - which still retains a...

    Star Wars Battlefront

    Looks like I didn't actually click the final 'pay now' button on the cdkeys purchase. I checked a few days later and it was sat in my basket. Based on the initial reviews, its sounding like I inadvertently made the right choice? I find the lack of content to be a bit worrying from the get-go -...

    Rise of the tombraider...

    Is it coming to PC as well? If so, I'd definitely buy it - the previous game was superb, imo.

    Euro Truck Simulator 2

    Lol - noticed you popped online in Steam with it. Would be good if they did a road-rage mod for destroying as much traffic as possible. ;)

    Mudflaps

    Yep - swear words on here. I'd have an official set in a heart-beat, if Renault had ever released them for the 182. Anything at all to protect that frontal area around the front door and cill. I even got flak about getting official Ralliart flaps fitted to the Evo when I had that. Now that, I...

    Drive Safe Guys

    "It'll be reet"....... the amount of times cars make horrendous noises, belch smoke, or roll on rubber smoother than a snooker ball - yet the owners do sweet FA about it. The exact same type of people that when eventually the car does let go, they complain at how much it is to fix. :confused...

    Suspension refresh?

    I think there's definitely a market for bundles such as this. For a decent price, people know that they are getting everything relevant, revamped. Much better than piece-meal fixes, I reckon.

    R34 GT-R V-Spec II

    I know Matt - I was kind of hoping to see something "WOW" on their page that I hadn't seen or heard of before. Still, I guess two out of three isn't bad. A heffer in a party-frock and trinkets isn't fooling anyone that it's still a heffer underneath, though.

    R34 GT-R V-Spec II

    Just out of interest, I was intrigued to see what Nissan's current webpage of Nismo loveliness might look like. There were links to the GTR and the 370Z on there, before ultimately showing this beauty.... http://www.nissan.co.uk/GB/en/vehicle/crossovers/juke/prices-and-equipment/nismo.html...

    Gaming PC

    The problem that you will have (although technically still possible on a budget) - is your comment of "....more graphically intensive games." Take the good all-rounder card of the minute - the GTX 970. That will consume half of that cash immediately as they sell in-and-around the £250 mark. If...

    COD: Ghosts

    Bought it for a couple of quid on the PC. Totally unplayable at the minute - max's out the 12GB memory onboard and makes it a 5-second burst slideshow of movement. Borderline criminal that it got released on the PC in this state. Shitloads of threads on the internet about potential fixes - but...

    Banther's New Golf

    Good choice - especially the colour - I think white suits the GTis. Twin pipes look better than the R's offering too - but that's another argument. :blush: Just not convinced on the alloys. Too 'big' in appearance and too bland. They almost remind me of a Downfall play piece.... (showing my age...

    You're in North Wales too? Not too far from the Birchdown lads for ease of servicing either! Welcome onboard. :cool:

    R34 GT-R V-Spec II

    It would have appeared that my testicles have suffered an immediate and inappropriate leakage. Surely to God when the Nissan chaps were crafting this car, they knew they were on their way to a Car of Pure Win?
