    How accurate is the Ph1 MPG on the Trip Computer?

    Fill tank to the brim, reset all counters. Drive .. doesn't matter if you do 10 or 400 miles, then fill to the brim again. 1 Imperial gallon = 4.54609188 litres Litres put in / 4.546 = Gallons. Gallons / trip milage = MPG Simplez .. :cool: Best I saw in 50-60mph traffic over about...

    Shutter speed.

    Go to shutter priority or manual mode, keep turning the speed down, it'll go fractions, seconds, then 5 10 15 20 30 bulb. Something like that anyway. What camera have you got? Ly182 - examples needed with exif data to help ;)

    My 172 + new camera phone =

    They are 17's .. says so on the tyre in the pic :rasp: [Ditchfinders? No wonder you got stuck in the snow ;)] 15s or 16s will make it feel much better. 17s on clios just tramline to hell :( Other than that ... looks smart ! Shame on you taking it to someone to get washed though haha

    Blur?

    OP - Examples needed. Are you taking night shots without a tripod ? Are you shaking with the cold ? Do you need a flash ? By action are you talking F1 cars or some dogging down the local layby ? ar90..: You need to learn about panning. You follow the car, so it's like taking a picture of...

    Hi Im new and would like a little help!

    Doesn't really make any sense to me... but then I'm not female. Women's logic and all that. :S I'll ask the other half if she can explain it to me. What were the other ones you could have chosen ?

    Shutter speed.

    Better off stacking images, esp. with the full moon (and the camera pointing away obviously ;) ) 30 mins is waaaay too long with the moon as it is now. My 17min on tues was like a bright sunny day haha ! Take numerous 30s/1min/5min/10min exposures.... throw them at photoshop and glue them...

    What steering wheel????

    Why ? Are you planning on taking the beast on track ? Or has yours melted already ? Will look ridiculous in a standard 1.2 IMO :S Each to their own .. but .. why .....?

    Hi Im new and would like a little help!

    Badgering... Like dogging, but a bit rougher...? Essicks styleeee innit !

    Best bang for buck airbox/filter mods?

    Inlet mods I'd recommend are the matched inlets - Someone's doing a group buy at the moment. Much more poke mid range, better MPGs and a much better freed up rev range from my experience. V6/Ph1 airboxes are generally suggested as the best (there have been many studies (search ;-) )) but...

    First go at low light pictures.....

    Full moon at the moment, clear-ish skys too, helpful when trying shots like this !

    Hi from new member in Essex!

    VICTORIA ! :eek: I knew Essex girls were dirty .. but come on. There's just some things you dont openly admit to on public forums. Poll ? Hurry up back from Paris and organise something already :rasp: (A meet, obviously, not some degraded curling out session.)

    Hi Im new and would like a little help!

    Welcome from Essex (Billericay). If you can't make the MASSIVE meet of the decade on Saturday, fear not. I'm going to start PMing VickyX (local area rep) daily to get her kicking off the regular meets round here. Did you choose the wheels, or were they on it when you bought it ? Not going...

    HELP! Just had my some work done...

    Hope you're not going to do a 120 mile round trip for him to clip the airbox on correctly ?? You don't need a degree in mechanical engineering to do that yourself.

    RDS ? Swirls, innit? No idea what that stands for.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDS is no help at all

    HELP! Just had my some work done...

    Yes - air may get into the cylinders and EXPLOOOODE ! It could be quicker if the timing wasn't correct in the first place, however there's a good chance you're just suffering from the placebo effect of having servicing done. ;)

    HELP! Just had my some work done...

    Open bonnet and track down the noise ?! You'll need a friend to rev it as you've no butterfly to twist. Should be pretty obvious where it's coming from !

    Canon 500d

    ^ How can you not like the geerarf pic ? I was clearly joking about the rest. You've definitely got an eye for it. Crystal clear compared to what chap ? I'm using a mid-range D-SLR with half decent glass (ish...). Sunny days means lots of light, so the camera can take a super-fast shot...

    Canon 500d

    With my 450d, I had my kit (18-55) for a few months by itself, then bought a 10-20 and a 50mm and a zoom (55-250). The Sigma (10-20) is still my most favouritiest lens EVERRRRR.. the 50 I wouldn't be without, but the zoom got used about 5 times in a year. Jessops looking at lenses is pretty...
