    How fecking good is F.E.A.R?!

    Only just started in properly - now that my PC can run it at a decent rate. Some really neat effects in it and far, far more unnerving than any of the Doom/Quake games. I know I'm way behind the times on this one, but for those of you who haven't tried it - you should! :) D.

    Advice on my oil level.

    Checked it again this week and it's roughly 3/4 the way up the gauge. Is it best leaving it as it is, or should I top it up to just under the top notch? I don't want to run the risk of overfilling, tbh.... Cheers, D.

    Mick_172_Cup... on Shadsworth?

    Was it you on there jus now, m8? Couldn't see detail on the car due to sun glare. Had to turn back as I forgot to drop something off at the warehouse, around the back - hence passing you twice.... :cool: D.

    It's that time of year again, folks.....

    Got in the car this morning and a flashing '-1' came on the dash. First freezing temp of the year for me, so hopefully the 172 Cup owners are taking it a little easy with the Stop pedal..... ;) D.

    GTR2 laptimes - any car, any track - post them here

    At the request of BenR :rasp: - can anyone with recorded laptimes in GTR2 post them here? Ideally, with a screenshot attached? Not limits on track choice, car alterations, tyre choice, fuel onboard, etc - just let us know what you selected and what time you got. As posted on the other thread...

    Snails like my Clio.....

    Twice is one week now. :S I opened the boot to put the laptop in there and noticed two snails stuck on the inside of the tailgate itself. Picked them off and put them in the bushes at the side. Last Wednesday - the two snails then, were in the same place as these this morning??? If they think...

    GTR2 - what are your laptimes at Donington?

    I'm slowly getting the hang of that Saleen S7-R - especially at Donington, so I wanted to know what kind of times I should aim at? Cheers, D.

    M7* NYK - Willy heading into Bury this morning

    Spotted it and posted before. Each time, there's always a c0ck in the traffic between me and the Williams... :dapprove: Anyone off here? D.

    Modded silver 172. Bake Make (?), Bromborough, Wirral

    Saw it at the front of the carpark at the bakery as I was on the way to our Wirral depot. Didn't see much, but is it anyone's off here? D.

    Silver 182 - The Willows pub, Blackburn today

    Spotted it in the car park while I was crawling forward in traffic. Anyone off here? I didn't catch the reg no. D.

    Some 182 Trophy advice, please.....

    In a nutshell, a worthy upgrade from a FF 182? I've had my 182 for nearly 2 years now and I'm thinking of speaking to place I got it from and tranferring the finance to a 2nd hand Trophy. I really, really like the look of them - especially seeing one up close (cheers Ad!) on the NW Run the...

    Blue 182 - near Blackburn Rovers - approx 12.20 today.

    Spotted it coming the other way - '04 plate, iirc. I was in a work's Golf at the time, so you wouldn't have seen me..... ;) Anyone? D.

    £200 for a steering wheel?

    http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/GB/EN,CRID=2217,CONTENTID=11867 Looks great - especially the 3-pedal setup and the 6-speeder gearstick, further down the page. Cheapest I saw was around 150 notes on dabs.com, but I can't see it being good for the majority of racing games that...

    Omg! Gtr2!

    Well, Amazon delivered it to me this morning and I can categorically state, that with the exception of GT Legends that preceded it - there is no finer racing game in existance. Anyone who liked the original GTR will love this. From the additional hike in graphics and sound to the increased...

    Mk1 green Clio on it's roof - Grane Road tonight

    Looked a bad smash. Driver was out of the car and had blood from his head and the Police arrived just as I went past. A couple of cars had stopped by then too. Hope it was no-one on here? :( D.

    182 FF Baked Bean - turning onto Grane Road this morning...

    Spotted it ahead of me in the traffic, on the slip-road off the M66. Saw another Baked Bean near Tesco in Blackburn yesterday too. Bloody Inferno colour is common as muck! ;) D.

    Getting my head around fuelling and mapping...

    I'm wondering if the tech bods can answer this scenario for me? Car A - Standard 182, fed a tankful of 95RON petrol once a week for say, 6 months. ECU mapped to 98RON. Car B - Standard 182, fed a tankful of 98RON petrol once a week for say, 6 months. ECU mapped to 98RON. All other factors...

    R4* CUP - yellow 182 (ultra low!) near Bury, this evening...

    Spotted it pulling out of a junction near Bury. Had anthracite/dark alloys on it - nicely squeezed under the arches. :cool: Think it was a bloke driving, but I was quite a few cars back - in traffic. Looked awesome! D.

    Illiad Blue V6 - near Blackburn Arena...

    Just let onto you when you were sat at the traffic lights, waiting to pull out. Didn't catch the reg, but there's not many of those around 'ere! :cool: D.

    Maz - M66, near Bury...

    Didn't think you headed up these 'ere parts? Too far North! ;) Just been to Asda at Pilsworth - that traffic's a joke. It will be a long time before I go there after work again! D.

    Unreal Tournamnet 2007 - for £17.99

    Looks like you have to wait until May for it though. Like, WTF?! :cool: http://play.com/Games/PC/4-/601818/Unreal_Tournament_2007/Product.html D.

    General insurance questions (while I have my calm head on)

    Right. Being as calm and sedate as I can about the subject, I'd like to ask some generalisations about how a car insurance premium is calculated. I would appreciate any feedback from those people who work within the industry to add some comments on here. After all, we fork out shedloads of cash...

    Cheap V6 insurance? Or does hell freeze over first?

    Goddamit - car insurance is just a friggin' joke. We've just spent the past couple of hours trying to find a relatively cheap insurance quote for Jain on her Vee and are literally going around in circles. Clearly (as has been said a million times before) the age of the driver, the mileage...

    Company of Heroes - one for fans of Dawn of War

    It doesn't take an Einstein to realise that the same team (Relic & THQ, iirc) who made WH40K Dawn of War, have made Company of Heroes. I've only had a quick go of the tutorials so far, but initial impressions are very good indeed. It's based on a WW2 setting, but the capture of command points...

    '02 silver 172 owner - Asda, Blackburn...

    Sorry for chatting to you like some crazed stalker just now. Hopefully you'll bob on here and say hello! ;) The 'zorst does sound mint! D.

    PhysX add-on cards? Gimmick or something good?

    Been about for a bit now and it looks like Asus do one, circa £150 notes. Clearly, the PC game has to support PhysX first, but potentially, I can see the benefit of one. Something that Roy will be buying at some stage, no doubt! ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhysX#Available_in_Spring_of_2006...

    Mint Williams - Bury/Rochdale road approx 8am

    Reg started M66 - heading into Bury. I was two cars back and had some dawdling fool in front, so I couldn't see much else. Looked very tidy and clean from the glimpses of the rear that I did manage to see! :approve: Anyone? D.

    nVidia Control Settings

    Ok, I maybe missing something completely obvious, but does the nVidia Control Centre have any gamma, contrast and brightness options for Direct3D apps only? On the ATi Catalyst Centre, there was a Desktop and a D3D option. It worked great, allowing the graphics brightness to be increased upon...

    Battlefield 2 - v1.4 Patch out now

    Not tried it online yet, but it's worth it for the new Road to Jalalabad map, alone. A good, closed-in urban map. Here's the patch contents if you haven't seen them... 1.4 Patch – New content New level: Road to Jalalabad (Conquest 16-32-64, Singleplayer, Co-op) New Server Option: No...

    The 'Game Over / The End' you always remember?

    What games have you seen all the way through to the end and genuinely thought "that was great!" ? Beach Head (circa 1984!!!) was one of mine as was beating the other civilisations to the space race in Civ 2. I was also glad to see the end of HL2, even though I thought the ending was a bit...
