    Race '07 + Logitech G25 = whole shedload of WIN

    Awesome, superb, brilliant, err just damn good! Was going to go online, but with downloading shizzle in the background, I thought I'd have a bash on Practice at Brands in a WTCC '87 Alfa and also a Formula 3000 car in someone's backyard oval in Brazil. Pissed the oval for a win in both Races...

    Battlestations Pacific - inc. pics

    Downloaded the demo this afternoon and it's pretty good. I don't think it has the long-term appeal of the likes of Battlefield 1942 as there is the lack of infantry in the game. Having said that, it looks very good indeed, is easy to pickup and I dare say quite difficult online against real...

    Company of Heroes Anthology - bargain @ PLAY

    http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/9351525/Company-Of-Heroes-Anthology/Product.html Only £17.99! :eek: I paid that for the Tales of Valor expansion pack alone, the other month - and its included in this. The best RTS game on the PC (imo, of course) currently out there. The Tales of Valor...

    EBC stockists in the North-West. Like, erm, today? :)

    Does anyone know of EBC stockists based in the North-West that I could buy some rear pads from, tomorrow? Or even today? :cool: Cheers, D.

    Red 197, just off Guide roundabout, Blackburn

    Heading towards the motorway, past Ensor this morning. Woman driver - on the phone at the time (:nono: ;)) and it looked to have aftermarket exhaust(s) fitted? Looked good, tbh. D.

    Are 182 brakes naturally rear-biased?

    Just wondering really. I had mine in for its MOT today and it failed on two points. One was for the rear reg-plate light not working, but the other was that the rear pads were down to less than 1.5mm. I really am doubting that, tbh. They are Redstuff pads all round, fitted at the same time as...

    Longest original RS back-box in terms of mileage?

    How old is yours? ;) I'm knocking on 60k on mine and the bugger is still going. Not much life in it now, I reckon - but given the wonderful build quality of the OEM item, 60k must be quite impressive - lol? D.

    One for DK? Memory & Xeon scenario?

    First time I've come across this situation.... We've got a HP-Compaq Proliant ML350 G5 running 2x dual core Xeons (5140 spec) that had been running on 4GB memory. I bought a replacement wedge of memory - 4x 4GB full buffered Kingston sticks and the server has thrown a right paddy. Looking...

    182 floor mats?

    Is the floor-pan on the 182 the same on all Clios in the foot-wells? Could I just buy any set of floor mats to fit the Mk2 and they would fit ok? Cheers, D.

    Plasma TV gurus - need help in choosing

    Chaps, Just had a request from the MD to help pick a plasma screen for his home. Must be 52"+ and have additional surround sound speaker options. He also wants a blu-ray player to go with it and the usual SkyHD. If anyone has some recommendations, I'd love to hear them. I pretty much a...

    Any Windows 2008 Server woes to report?

    Just trying out the x64 Eval Edition on a lowly ML150 G5 and tbh, it seems fine so far. Looks (and feels) like a no-frills Vista imo and am currently using SQL2005 x64 on it. As we're a Windows 2003 x86 domain, has anyone had any real complications it shifting to either W2008 and/or 64-bit...

    ****FEX - 172 Cup, M66 this morning

    AutoGlym bodywork shampoo - no longer available in 2litre bottles?

    Just stopped at a few motor-factors in Bury and Heywood and none of them had the larger bottles - only the 1litre ones available. They looked at me a bit confused when I asked if they had the larger bottles available. Has AutoGlym stopped making them? :S D.

    Parked on the road in between Matalan and PC World. Would have been around 1.30pm today, I guess? D.

    Two new 'uns on Grane Road today.....

    172 Cup and a few cars behind it - a blue 197. Not seen either on there before now - both heading in the opposite from me towards the M66. D.

    Operation G25 - the desk gets it....

    After years (literally) of messing about with various bits of packing and clamps to get various wheels to stay snuggly on the desk - it was time for the power jigsaw. The tapered edge just had to go. Now I'm FAR from being Mr. DIY. But I didn't do to bad - for me anyway, lol! Going to...

    Black 182 - reg ending in 'ADS' - Rochdale, yesterday

    Facing me at the junction of Manchester Road/Roch Valley Way - gave you a flash! Didn't spot your car at first - only as the lights changed. Looked v.shiny and a great example. What wheels are those? D.

    Vista installation randomness.....

    Erm, WTF? :cool: Got a clean RAID0 setup with Windows XP on another RAID0. Chucks the DVD in to install Vista 64 Ultimate and goes through the prompts. Blue screens after a few mins and then rebots. Wipe the RAID0 again and go for round 2 (I know that this mobo & Vista doesn't need drivers for...

    Flaming Monkey - Guide roundabout @ just gone 4pm yesterday?

    Was that you turning down Blackamoor Road, just after 4pm yesterday, m8? Spotted a 172 Cup turning down there - thought it could have been you? D.

    Network card gimmicks?

    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000J4J8NW/?tag=cliospnet01-21 Surely there is a whole host of other factors that would influence the online experience before this? I mean, if this was around £30, I may give it a try. But as we're at the extreme fringes of broadband reach at home anyway, surely this...

    Anyone use a PhysX card? Are they any good?

    Intrigued, really. Especially as a lot of the Rainbow Six games and stuff can use the PhysX extensions. Anyone got one for sale? ;) D.

    System builders - any micro-ATX PSUs, circa 400w?

    As per title - does anyone know of a PSU rated approx 400w (or higher) in micro-ATX form? Highest I've seen is 300w so far, which maybe enough - but I'd be happier at 400w as I know the setup works like that when connected to a 430w ATX PSU. I could transplant all the bits to another case...

    Did I let a CS member out this morning - Hemel Hempstead?

    .....at the junction in front of the DSG building - turning right. The cnuts in the traffic in front of me didn't let you go, so I flashed you and got a wave back. Silver Clio (not sure of reg) - quite dirty :rasp: - but I could have sworn it had a Cliosport sticker on the lower left back...

    '04 silver 172 - parked up in Norden

    Sky HD box. Basic n00b question

    Chaps, If we switched the standard Sky box to one of those HD units, does the dish on the roof have to be altered in anyway? Basically, I think our dish is fecked and if part of the HD installation requires a new dish then we're onto a winner. A bit of wishful thinking, methinks. ;) D.
