    Petrol blue 182 - M55 this afternoon

    My first spot of the elusive 182 colour! Caught it at a good time too - in some decent sunshine on the opposite side of the motorway. Looked mint - really, really good. :cool: Wished I'd ordered mine with it now..... D.

    Old pic request of PC polishing....

    Chaps, Can anyone remember the link to the thread that had the images of that black Clio after it had been PC'd? There was a great shot of the before/after effects of the front wing being PC'd, iirc. Cheers, D.

    Arctic blue 182 - Bury & another M60 today...

    First one at the lights around the corner from the fire station this morning... ...the other was on the southbound section of M60 just north of Oldham. Had its xenons on too. :cool: D.

    SATA RAID gurus.....

    In order to have two drives in RAID0 and an optical SATA drive plugged in at the same time - do all three devices have to be on specific ports? I've got 6 SATA ports on my mobo, but with the large size of the twin 7900GTX gfx cards, I've simply connected the drives to the most easily...

    Two on the M1 today....

    ....heading down this morning, I was overtaken by a blonde in a '52 black 172 with a 182-style twin pipe exhaust. Then coming back up from Nottingham this afternoon, I spotted a Mars red V6 on the opposite of the M1 - around junction 38. Anyone? D.

    Black Gold - that LOVE/HATE thing again....

    Well, I meant to be cleaning the inside of the 182 today as it was certainly in the need of a good hoover-out. Anyways, I thought 'stuff it' and decided to give it a wash as well, despite it having one only a few days before (sad get). So began another round of black gold yin & yang, chalk...

    Today's pics from Oulton - including a Veyron

    Well, we headed over for the first official race of the '08 Oulton Park calendar, which included Ginetta's, F3 and GT racing. However, it was some of the cars that were parked up that caught my eye. Obviously, the Veyron was nigh-on impossible to get a clean shot of - there were literally...

    Monkey? At Blackburn Asda?

    Might have been you, but couldn't really tell, m8! The Cup looked particularly clean. :cool: D.

    Microsoft Sharepoint server

    Anyone use it? We were looking into getting Sharepoint Server 2007. I take it that it works best with clients running Office 2007? A good 90%+ of our clients are running Office 2003 Standard edition. Any good points/bad points? We mainly want to centralise a lot of 'similar' documentation -...

    Modded '51 plate Clio - Sainsburys, Ashton-under-Lyne

    Passed it on the way out of Sainsbury's when I was in the :evil: POWER DEMON :evil: Belingo. :cool: Blonde driving it. Would have been around 6-ish this evening. Anyone? D.

    A few pics from today's drifting at Oulton....

    We tagged along to have a butchers at what was on at Oulton today. Martin (k1ano) was initially going to take his GT-Four for some drifting, but switched it last minute to the V6 when the 'Yota developed a problem. A braver man than me! A little too sideways......:cool: Perfect...

    The worm has turned - my view on the 197 Cup

    After the p1ss-poor Reno marketing shots of the 197 Cup which in my mind resembled an 898cc Korean shed trying desperately to look like it would reach 60mph before Easter - my views are starting to change. ;) I picked up the first issue of Performance Car magazine yesterday, complete with...

    Hard drive recovery services?

    Has anyone got any recommendations for a hard drive recovery service? Cost really isn't the issue, neither is the time that we require the drive back. The laptop drive in question has several hundred jpegs on it. Even if we could recover a fraction of them - it would be better than nothing...

    Mac OSX Leopard

    Well, after the help from Tom and sn00p on my previous thread (thanks again guys :approve: ) (http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=301693) - it was a definite sign that the Mac's HD had died. After nabbing a new Seagate Momentus (great name, lol!) HDD for it and buying a retail copy...

    Headlamp washer fecked...... again!

    I really wish Reno hadn't even bothered with them. Gave it a good wash on Saturday for Sunday's drive out - and when I pulled up at Lymm services - the same headlamp washer was pissing fluid out again. Is it an easy job just to bung the feeder pipes up and be done with them? It really is...

    SSD drives - the sizes are getting useful now...

    http://www.mtron.net/english/PressRoom/PressRoom.asp?sid=PressRoom&xact=view&idx=171 Still cost a fortune mind! But at least they are out there and being actively promoted. Give it a few more years and they should (hopefully) be at sensible prices. D.

    Poorly looking '05 RB 182 with stripes, Disley, yesterday

    Past it on the way home. Parked up on the road with a fair amount of panel damage on the drivers door. Ouch. :( D.

    Powerbook G4 - dead?

    If a Powerbook that's been sat on a shelf for months, decides to simply display an Apple logo in the middle of the screen - does that mean its funcked? It does the start-up 'DONG' noise and then a few seconds later, just puts up the Apple logo. No spinning progress icon or anything. Are there...

    Next gen consoles - return to cartridges?

    Just a discussion header, really. Do you think consoles would ever go full circle and revert back to the cartridge days of old? Removing the cost of cartridge manufacturing out of the equation, I think there would be several benefits.... Fewer moving parts - possible decrease in size of the...

    '04 Black Gold 182 - with modded zorst - Bury

    Gave you a bib at the Junction 2 roundabout (Heap Bridge). The exhaust not only sounded good, but it really did look the part. Looked v.shiny too - just had it fitted? :cool: Hopefully you're on here so you tell me which exhaust it was! :) D.

    Linux - somebody, somewhere is having a joke!

    Did they purposely go out of their way to make Linux as weird and as unfriendly to use as possible? Did they have a global meeting and discuss "1,052 ways to infuriate someone who is used to the Windows environment"? I can't believe the most basic operations and uses either just draw a...

    Sky digibox help, pweeese!

    I know how to switch on my digibox...... pick a channel and that's about it. What I want to know is whether or not a standard digibox (not Sky+ or HD or anything) is the same - regardless of who the manufacturer is? Our Thomson unit is going ape and regularly says "No satellite signal is being...
