Looking forward to using K&M on this, tbh. Driving on the 360 version was great with the pad and walking about wasn't too bad. But I couldn't aim for s**t with the guns - frustratingly so.

The CV boots on these are a joke. Such a flimsy method of staying attached to a hub that is forever pulling on one side or the other. Then nice, warm CV grease drips out of the boot onto the inside of the front alloys. That cools (or gets splattered all around the alloy if its moving) and starts...

My first golf game was on the Atari 2600 - and yep, it was crap! I had one on the C-64, but can't remember the name of it. The one I played the most was the original PGA Tour Golf on the Amiga - along with the expansion packs. I then switched that game to the PC and although I tried the Links...

Ah - cheers Andy - I didn't know that - but I guess it makes sense. Bah! :)

The only two platforms I use at the minute are Steam - Unzen and Origin occasionally - which I think is the same, though I'll have to check! :)

The whole multi-GPU thing varies massively on make, model and drivers. My single GTX690 (which is two GTX680 GPUs on one card) played one of the later Metro games brilliantly - with most of the bells and whistles on. Then bit by bit (over a period of about 10 minutes) - the game got...

In this day and age, it should get some royalties, at least.

Have 4 & 5K monitors really got a bad rep at the minute? Read the article in the back of this month's Custom PC and the bloke was saying that through the DisplayPort - they suffer extremely bad screen tearing? Can anyone vouch for this?

A better spec monitor is definitely my next purchase. Might be a while off yet, though....

And why not...... the 2nd one went in yesterday...

I think out of the box, the 20V Turbo was circa 220bhp? That 5-pot sounded brilliant when allowed to sing too.

Nice purchase! I nearly jumped in on a part-ex deal with my Punto GT on one of these, back in about 2000. It was red too - strangely not a colour you see them in often? The only reason I bailed was that the garage offered me peanuts for the GT - I actually got more for it in private sale 4 years...

I've never been a fan of those BBS wheels on anything. They look too 'fussy'. Those Turinis however..... :)

As you're running a 172 Cup with no ABS - it's a no brainer as it's cheap to sort. Pretty much any garage worth it's salt would be able to rectify the leak.

73 hours in now. Definitely one of the titles that I've put the most amount of time into on Steam.

Strangely, I thought he had responded on this thread originally, back in 2011?

Went past us at the Hare & Hounds pub - heading towards Belmont, about 4.30pm this afternoon. Noticed a CS sticker in the rear window too.

Thread bump - spotted again on Blackpool prom today. Good to get acknowledgements off other RS owners, still!

Awesome. What a car to own! Almost a work of art....

Good choice! I've said on here before that we had one of the previous gen 2.2 diesel saloons at work and it was my preferred choice if I needed to go anywhere. A great mile muncher. Loads of spec and a very good engine across the rev range. It was that car that got me into MPS appreciation. :)

Haha! Do you accept Ugandan dollars?

Yep - brake pipe. Slightly weird in that it appeared to be slightly out of line and had caught on the rear spring. Must have only just touched and maybe when the spring compressed - as I've had those Eibachs on for years. I looked at the old section of pipe - and indeed it looked like it had...

Nope - three years at uni - I barely ever came back up north. Good place down there, though it did seem to be permanently grey! :)

Lol! Pretty much! Apart from spending a three year stint down in Plymouth, I moved up to Heywood for about 5 years and then across to Birtle for a further 10. Moved back to Ashton for just over 2 years and now into my 2nd year in Bromley Cross.

I've never really understood why modded cars can quite often work out cheaper to insure? A yocal to me too - I'm originally from Ashton :)

Parked up there yesterday. Looked standard apart from being lowered. Nice, clean example. :cool:

Tom and I are normally polar opposites on what we think looks good. But even scrabbling every bit of JDM/modding/homebrew appreciation I have - I couldn't like that car. Not a nice thing to look at, at all. Jack's image of the M3 however - now that looks superb.

The car is in the garage today - I'll update with the news that I get back.

I wonder if the issue is false reporting? It seems strange that a coolant problem would arise in March - unless it had dumped out a load of the stuff beforehand? Does a diagnostic check bring up any error codes?

Down sarf at the minute - but got Shelley to take a picture of the little oil pool when she got back tonight. Thankfully it's not grown in size since this morning, so it's not pouring out of its own accord. And yep, the car does need a wash! [emoji5]️
