    iPod nano 7th Gen

    You know what I did exactly the same thing with my first 6th Gen Nano. It never recovered so I bought another one :(

    iPod nano 7th Gen

    I'm not considering buying one but they do look like nice pieces of kit. I have the iPod Nano Gen 6 and I love that but couldn't justify the outlay for the new one. Certainly if I was in the market for a new iPod though, I'd not hesitate in going for this one. :)

    iPhone 5.

    My contracted ended with Vodafone so I've just started up a new contract, got the 5 32gb for £90 and a £39 a month contract. That'll do me nicely.

    What case are you getting for your iPhone 5?

    I've ordered one of these (along with screen protectors) as wanted something that covers the whole phone not just the back and bits of the sides. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170923288102?var=470205904071&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648 And ordered one of these for my iPhone 4...

    iPhone 5.

    I've just ordered a 32gb 5 which I should be getting next weekend. Rather looking forward to it although not antiscipating it being a world apart from my 4. Will certainly be investing in a decent case for it though. Partly because I'll keep it for 2 years much like my 4 so I'll want to keep...

    How much do you spend on fuel a month?

    Sharing the fuel cost with my Mrs (she drops me to the train station) about £100 between us a month on average. That said it costs me £150 a month to commute to work by train.

    Winter storage for my 172

    I dry store my 225 for most of Autumn and all of winter and I don't use axle stands or take the wheels off. I do make sure all the fluids are topped up, fuel tank is brimmed, the car is thoroughly cleaned inside and out. I have also invested in a good breathable cover so it's protected but...

    No 1's driving my car again....EVER!!!

    This is one reason why I don't let anyone drive my 133/225, although I do let my Mrs drive the 172 and to be fair she's alright with it. That said she's got her own 133 Cup rims to worry about haha. Either way, I'd get your mum to give the cash to repair them. If I kerbed my mum's alloys I'd...

    What to do...

    Depends how long you long you intend on keeping the car for. I mean you could find yourself some cheap RS alloys, nice headunit etc. Make the car your own and transfer some of the stuff you buy to your next car. As much as I understand the idea of keeping your money for the next car, you...

    What have you done to your car today ???

    New OEM gear gaiter for my 172 as the original had done the usual bit of breaking!

    The New Focus ST

    I can see why they've done it and I've no doubt it's a good if not great car. I'm just not a fan of how it looks from the back, in fact the rear is ugly in a bad not 'characterful' way. :( Personally, when I look at what's offered from the Megane RS or the Astra VXR, they'd be my choices over...

    Martin_172's Twingo GT TCE

    My mum has a Twingo Gordini TCE and I have to say it's an impressive car. Like you say because it's so light and has plenty of torque they're not a slow car. Driven right they're not far behind a 133 in a straight line but with the bonus of great MPG, cheaper tax etc Look forward to seeing...

    Gold ph1 non-sport

    My thinking exactly. Just 20mm or so more and it'd make the most of those awesome rims. Cracking car though. :)

    Average time to sell your Clio?

    Totally depends really, took me a few weeks to sell my 172 but that was 7 years ago! Sold my VW Lupo through the owners club within a few days of putting up an advert. Have also sold cars to friends/family really easily as I have a reputation for looking after my cars so when they've gone up...

    iPad Mini

    Exactly! Plus they still sell iPhones off tariff at crazy prices so it'll probably be priced alongside the normal iPad.
  16. Alex_225

    iPad Mini

    You're probably right although you'd like to think the cost would slot in below the iPad but I doubt it will. Wouldn't surprise me if it's not along the same scale as the iPad.

    iPad Mini

    As with most things Apple it'll be expensive which will appeal to some and put plenty off. Personally though, I love my iPad and if I was in the market for a smaller tablet would definitely try out the mini iPad.

    iPad Mini

    I love the way they show the leaked images like they're going to surprise us in how it looks!!! Unless they make it triangular with a hologram projecting screen it's going to look like a big iPhone/small iPad haha.

    Forza Horizon

    I'm certainly very intrigued by this. I like the idea of it being Forza on the road as I'd rather it had realistic physics and graphics. I don't want some arcade game but a 'realistic' street racing game. :)

    Recommended Photo Editing Software

    Think you could be right there haha, what the hell was I looking at!!! lol Hmm seems to be $150 which may be a bit high for my needs just now.

    Phase 1 VS Phase 2... GO!

    I like them both to be honest. I think the Phase II 172 has aged better though and still looks relatively fresh even now. That said the Phase I 172 looks it's age inside and out but I like the understated feel of it. The 172 MKII is subtle as is but MKI is even more likely to be underestimated...

    Recommended Photo Editing Software

    Been having a little look at that seems like a good bit of kit. Will probably give them both a try as Lightroom is only about £5 and Gimp is free. Win win! :)

    Recommended Photo Editing Software

    Interesting name but I'll give it a go haha. Thanks for the recommendation. :)

    Recommended Photo Editing Software

    I'm looking for some basic-ish software for editing software on my iMac. Photoshop is the obvious option but it's not cheap and I don't think I'd make full use of it let alone for the money. So I was looking for recommendations of applications that are good for re-sizing images, airbrushing...

    Bulk MF cloths

    I'll second the Costco ones. I've got a pack of them which I picked up recently and was very impressed with them for the money.

    Liquid waxes

    From what I've used, Collinite 845 is a brilliant liquid wax. All the benefits of 476 but easier (I find) to apply and buff.

    Dodo juice.

    All I would say if you are new to detailing and the idea behind it, don't assume that the more a product costs the better the results. You hear a lot of people raving about the finish from a pricey wax they've just used where as the finish is all in the prep work. The wax protects the finished...

    MY NEW 172

    Looks good that mate. Plus I like the tints, the Twingo 133s come with similarly dark tints from the factory and they look good but make the interior feel nice and private and shaded.

    Lowest clio?

    There are some cracking motors in here and some of the mega low ones really do look good. Having said that, I owned a very low VW Lupo and the hassle of driving it took some of the fun out of it for me. :(

    (LY Clio V6 content) Just posted by Top Gear, article by Richard Hammond

    Tis a good read that and nice someone seeing the point of something that is, well a bit pointless. It's purpose is that it's fun and a bit crazy!!!
