    Logitech G25 owners - how many have we got on here?

    .....and more importantly, do you think it was worth the price? :cool: I personally think its superb and is being woefully under-used by me at the moment. Too many non-racing games attracting my attention at the moment. D.

    172 Cup, Mountain Ash, Wales - this afternoon

    Pulled up on a side street in the snow. Looked like the passenger was having a chat with someone out of the window. Approx 3pm this afternoon - on our way back from Aberdare. :) D.

    How far should a CV boot rubber sit?

    Basically, I swapped both clips out today (even though only one needed doing) and repacked the boots with some Comma CV/moly grease. But I'm unsure as to how far the rubber boot comes 'back on' before applying the clip? I put both new clips back on to the same position as the originals, but...

    Moly grease? Common item at motor-factors?

    Reclipping the CV boot clips tomorrow on mine after noticing the tell-tale spots of pea-juice on the inside of one of the rims. Is moly-grease something easily available to pickup? Or could I use an alternative? I'd rather repack the boot(s) with some more grease before putting a new clip...

    Anyone got any Equalizer pics of their car?

    .....minus Edward Woodward, of course. ;) Proper cheesey. But the last time I jet washed my car after work, the wash-booth was heavy with spray and the headlights were on my car. Looked really good from certain angles - probably helped with the blue-white effect of the xenons. Even if...

    Arctic 182 and blue Meg 225 parked side-by-side - Hemel Hempstead

    Was down there again Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Parked the works motor on the multi-story connected to the Premier Inn Central - and these two were next to each other. Following morning, just the arctic 182 was there. Think it was an '05 plate? D.

    N00b i-Pod cable question for 182

    I don't know much about the standard 182 stereo, so which cable would I need to connect it to an iPod? I take it that it would involve ejecting the unit out itself and then connecting the cable to the rear? Does the cable simply connect to the earphone connector of the iPod, or does it have the...

    Quick Excel 2007 question.

    Chaps, Does anyone know if the 2007 version of Excel allows the number of rows to exceed 65k+ now? 65,000 rows isn't enough to calculate my CS wages..... ;) D.

    Ubuntu x64 really slow on Turion64 X2 laptop?

    Got a works laptop in dual-boot. First partition with standard XP32 and the other half of the drive with Ubuntu x64. Laptop has a Turion64 X2 CPU and 2GB of mmory onboard. Flies along with XP, but it's dog-slow with Ubuntu. There are 180+ updates to apply (I'm running v8.10 btw) but it hangs...

    Albi blue 197 - southbound M1, just north of Hemel Hempstead

    Would have been about 3.30pm this afternoon. After travelling all the way from Blackburn to Hemel Hempstead and back today, it was the only RS I saw. Lol! D.

    Woody Woodpecker at 1,200rpm.....

    Chaps, I was hoping for some ideas or suggestions as to what a noise could be on my 182. Basically, at idle, the car makes a tappety noise. It's more noticable in the car than under the bonnet, tbh. I've never really bothered with it much as you have to focus your hearing to hear it in the...

    '05 RB 182 with stripes in retail car park, Burnley this afternoon

    ....the one with PC World and Sainsburys on it. Noticed it as I was leaving looking decidedly clean. RB owners do seem to take pride in their powder-blue motors! D.

    With the mad sale prices - any good prices on Logitech G25 wheels?

    As above really? Wouldn't mind nabbing one if the prices were good enough. Really want to give GTR Evolution the justice it deserves..... :cool: D.

    Nokia messages and contacts extraction

    Chaps, Just needed to extract some details from an old Nokia phone and shove them onto a Blackberry device. As you're well aware, Nokia phones store them as .nbu files that aren't really flexible for imports into other phones. I've tried this link - which extracts the contacts in the .nbu...

    172 Cup on a trailer - Rochdale (inc. pic)

    Followed this, this afternoon. Looked really tidy on the back of the trailer. Maybe had some bodywork done or going to a new lucky owner? ;) It also had '172 Cup' written in black text where the Trophies have 'Trophy' on the back end of the side cill. D.

    B6 CYR - parked over a chasm!

    That's some drop beneath your car, m8! Impressive parking, getting the 182 tip-toeing onto the kerb stones though. :cool: D.

    Black gold 182 - centre of Heywood this morning?

    197 Cup vs Trophy - PC Mag's long-termer opinions?

    "The 197 Cup really is a great car, but the Trophy is a brilliant one." Anyone else agree with this? I'd really like to hear of Trophy owners who have switched to the 197 Cup (or maybe vice versa?) Which one is/was better to drive? Lee - where are you? :cool: Not arsed in the slightest about...

    Ti Rally School Day

    Set off before 7am this morning in fog, thinking that the Saturday traffic around Leeds would be bad. It wasn't, thankfully - but the fog didn't ease up! Both me and my m8 Steve were doing a rally session today. A great learning experience and would happily do another. My 182 felt like a...
