    Couple of Clio Cup racer pics from Brands today

    Loved the look of these little buggers - just wish you could order one from the showroom like this! Great day - the weather was spot on. The BTCC races themselves were awesome. D.

    Weird BF2142 in-game glitches

    After having months of no problems with Battlefield 2142, I've started getting quite a few weird happenings in-game, over the last couple of weeks. Such as:- Stood near a missile silo as an engineer when the prompt comes up "(my name) teamkills - Zeller Sniper rifle". Since when does an...

    FFS - Megs clay..........AGAIN

    When will I learn? :mad: After recovering from last year's fiasco (http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=135061&highlight=clay) I had the 'bright idea' of trying it again today. Everything would be different this time though, or so I thought. I read and re-read what I needed to do...

    PE07*** - Mk2 Clio?

    Well, 2.5 - one of those with the weird boots on them. Spotted it on the way in this morning. Must have remained unregistered for months to get put on an 07 plate? D.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R's finally here.....

    Although this game was initially planned when 286's were on the drawing board - it appears that it will be released this Friday, the 23rd. I'll be getting it and let you know what I think. Apparently it's not DX10 compliant (yet) but it should be more than enough to stress the latest hardware...

    Tom - '55 plate 182 - Shell garage, Blackburn

    Good to see you - with our own mini-black gold meet this evening! Loved the Recaros - something I'd really like in mine. Just think, in that space of two minutes, we'd handed over £80 to Mr.Shell with two tanks of Optimax. I'm sure I'm in the wrong job.... D.

    Horn not working...

    Oh well, I guess that will curb any road rage tendancies.... ;) Anyone got suggestions of 'obvious' stuff I should check first? I don't want to do too much with the air-bag being there. The last thing I want to do is for that thing to go off. Cheers, D.

    Photoshop CS3 Beta?

    Has anyone tried this yet, as we've got Photoshop CS2 installed on the Mac here. Just a general query (as I don't use it myself) whether CS3 is much of an imrpovement? Also, any news on a more accurate ETA for it's release? I've only heard that 'Spring' is the launch date for it. Cheers, D.

    Colour toner disposal

    Anyone know of a colour toner recycling place that will dispose of used colour laser cartridges? I know a few who will happily take the black ones but not the colour as they cannot guarantee the colour match when they refill them. D.

    Supreme Commander

    Got it today for the PC and only managed a short blat on the tutorials. Anyone else tried the beta and demo or have actually bought it? First impressions are pretty good - clearly some thought has gone into the design, but it's still early days yet! Hopefully it will tide me over in the RTS...

    Blue 172 just leaving Blackburn Hospital a few minutes ago...

    Didn't see much as the roundabout was in the way. Looked like it had an after-market zorst from the glimpse I saw. Bloke driving it with dark hair. Anyone off here? D.

    EG** LSD - black gold 182 - Denton Island

    Spotted it yesterday, approx 5pm at the traffic lights. After-market alloys which looked really good on it. Driver kept his hi-vis jacket on - clearly going for the unmarked Police car look. :cool: Obviously a good choice in 182 colour, there..... ;) D.

    Middo is THE man! (56k - should be ok)

    Well, I got the door badges all-painted up, off Middo and I think they suit the car perfectly. He managed to get the exact colour combination that I was after and I'm really chuffed with them. Much, much better than the boring silver plastic look! :cool: Thanks also...

    Red 172 - followed me on Grane Road this afternoon

    - almost - apart from the shed of a Suzuki egg-box 140cc mobile that was between us. I was in the Golf TDi up front and clearly you didn't want to open up the 172 - there were plenty of places where you could have overtook the owd biddy in the Suzuki! ;) Turned off down the M65 towards the M6...

    19.4 litres + 36 cylinders = 1 great Lakes run

    ......256 miles later, we're back home! :D Our little convoy of four V6's, one 182 and a 'little' Vauxhall Monaro took on some of the best roads that the Lakes had to offer. Great, traffic free (for the most part) stretches of the black stuff combined with the boom of Jain's Quicksilver exhaust...

    My Clio's twin (well almost)

    Followed another black Clio home last night from Blackburn. The reg on it being MJ54 AWX. Mine's MJ54 FWX. They could have almost been seperated at birth. ;) D.

    Anyone use SLi boards at the moment?

    Have you noticed any specific improvement in having the 2nd gfx card in there? Just intrigued as to whether or not it would be worth a Fleabay search for another 7900GTX? Has anyone used a single card for a bit and then tried an SLi-supported game with the 2nd card running alongside...

    Deaf by Vee....

    ......ring ring.................ring ring................:banghead: Yep, a good five hours since we got back from a blast over to Bakewell and my ears are still buzzing. It's the first chance I've had this week to be a co-pilot in the Vee since its Quicksilver back-box transplant, last...

    Geek diesel question (aka pointless thread alert)

    Is the concept of a supercharged diesel, quite pointless? I can see the benefits of turbo'ing a diesel, but with a supercharger's inherent low-down power delivery, would that just be silly on a diesel anyway? I read in Evo that someone said that Mazda had done a supercharged diesel 626 some...

    '03 Silver 172 outside 'The Waggon at Birtle' - just now

    Drove past it now on the way back home. Didn't spot any CS stickers on it. D.

    Oblivious feckers...... :(

    Well, it HAD to happen at some point, I guess. After two years of panel-damage free ownership, some tosspot has decided to open their car door - WALLOP - straight into the rear quarter of mine. Probably someone with 86 bags of Christmas shopping or struggling to get their little brats strapped...

    TFT response times

    Right chaps. Being a CRT veteran, but increasingly being tempted to the TFT darkside, could anyone shed some light on 'real world' scenarios on TFT monitors with decent response times? The ones I've been looking at typically have a response time of either 8 or 6ms - but I've seen some with...

    Brass monkey's (and a crap pic)

    Joined the M66 this morning at a good 75mph and this bloke actually overtook me on this..... Must have been freezing his nads off as when we stopped in traffic, he kept putting his hands on the engine housing! :D D.

    F.E.A.R players - a bit of help, please!

    Just a bit stuck on where to go from here..... I can't jump the gap (instant death) and the only other place I've seen to move 'forward' is a missing roof-tile and the cavitiy section above. It seems a little high to jump up, so I assume I have to find some way of getting up there? There...

    Are you a *****? (pic)

    Or I am I seeing something in that reg plate that I shouldn't be? A lady of the night, perhaps? :rolleyes: D.

    172 Cup - parked up near Canterbury St., Blackburn

    Seen it a few times now - clearly the owner must work there. Anyone off here? D.

    First computer game to sh1t you up?!

    I definitely remember mine - Scarabaeus. Playing at 9 years old, running around a maze with 'something' in the maze trying to hunt you down. http://www.commodore.tv/detail.php?id=6591&name=Scarabaeus The basis of the game (iirc) was to find a section of maze that had a tiled-puzzle on the...

    Lowered '54 blue 182 - Union St. (?), Haslingden

    Spotted it this morning. Looked to be non-Cupped, but it was riding low! :cool: Anyone off here? D.
