Assuming there are no OS/file structure limitations about sticking a new drive into a PS4, as I don't have one - I would definitely recommend going down the SSD route. I would rather have a 480GB SSD fitted than a 2TB SATA fitted to any gaming device. Tried the swap back about two years ago for...

I definitely did something to my CC when I swapped the xenon bulbs out recently. The CC is more 'clicky' in sound than it was before.

Haha! I was thinking whether or not you were one of the 'select' people who at one time owned a Punto GT, perhaps? There's a few of us on here - but we're very thin on the ground - almost on par with the same likelihood of seeing one in decent condition on the road!

By the way - what does the 'GT' in your forum name refer to? :)

While I'm no fan of Minis - it's good to see that there will be some correlation between the cars prowess on the road and those on the track. It's pretty obvious that the majority of sales are marketing driven - an association with the badge rather than anything to do with the car itself. Get...

If you want to cry - look into the pricing of replacement Clio V6 arch-liners and under-tray sections!

Few do these days - but the adapters aren't expensive - assuming it's DB9 serial? Probably a lot cheaper on eBay too.... https://www.pcworldbusiness.co.uk/buy-rent/P238560P?cidp=Froogle&gclid=Cj0KCQiA1NbhBRCBARIsAKOTmUsRTvDSFUeZQMhqMVmCwZEHHzOa0A9vBoOnGsd8d9riIi1P5TCTbncaAkHMEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

You'd probably get a lot more money for it in standard trim too. The whole 90's era was probably the pinnacle of mainstream cars, from an array of manufacturers - each wanting to promote and out-do the other. Just look at the array of JDM stuff from that era too - amazing bits of kit, that we...

Great project! Can't remember the last time I saw a 9 - let alone a Turbo one. What were the book figures on these for BHP and torque? I bet some of the bits like the Turbo badges on the flanks would be a small fortune if original. I assume you're just going to get some vinyl reprints of them...

Not forgetting that when we're all chauffeured around in our electric-powered, four-wheeled Google seats - small, chuckable 'fun' cars will undoubtedly have a lot of appeal. Assuming it's not taxed out of existence through burning fossil fuels, or £25k in insurance because there's a...

Welcome aboard! :)

It's definitely worth a try if you can manage it though. I'm not a fan of player-vs-player much - especially with FPS games - but the co-op mode where you're against increasing waves of more difficult enemies is a nice feature. More so when there's four of you working together, laying mines...

Yeah - it was a great game - the DLC is worth it if you get it cheap in a Season Pass - currently 50% off on Steam at £14.99. SE4 is massively more appealing than the 'replacement' Strange Brigade. Despite me paying for the Season Pass'd edition of that as well - I've yet to complete it...

While its heart-warming to hear that some young 'uns look beyond Console Land for their gaming - £500 will be pushing it. Even in the 2nd hand market, choices would be pretty poor I'd expect and virtually impossible to obtain if he needs the full works like a monitor as well. As @Simon998 says...

I'll definitely get this in a decent sale. The last two TR games have been superb, imo.

Even if you halved that figure - those results are shocking. Pretty much any mainstream car north of £20k can break (or at least approach) double the speed limit these days. To have absolutely no idea of which end the car that you're pressing the Go pedal on is driven by, is bloody scary. To...

Company of Heroes 2 (core game) is currently free on Steam. The Master Collection with all the DLCs is just £5.40 on there too.

If this post wasn't approaching the two-year-old mark, I'd vote it for being Post of The Year.

You've got massively more patience and willpower for this. I'd just want a decent unit in there. Does it connect? Does it sound good? Those would be my criteria - and ideally not be that appealing to thieving b******s! :P

Definitely set a benchmark that game. I'd argue that the first game was the best of the series and it wasn't until I got a GTX690 that the performance was worthy of pushing the visuals at a decent rate. Thinking about it - I'm not sure if I've actually finished the first game? I recall...

I think I'll stay clear of this one.... lol.

Interesting with the PSP. Is that along the lines of Pandora and running an arcade emulator that way? I only ask as my Pandora'd PSP is shoved away in a drawer somewhere and never sees the light of day. If I revamped it to run stuff like this, that could be fun. I have a RetroPi too - but as...

It's a pretty powerful app for free - a bit like Garageband. That's strangely addictive to have a dabble with every now and then.

It’s worse now - that pic is fairly old. I know - it’s weird. Even a cheap Halfords car cover would be better than nothing. Those tyres will be ruined by now as well [emoji853]

Wha?? Heading down towards the war memorial from the Darwen side, just look down the little dead-end side street that runs alongside The Skylark chippy. There’s a silver V parked up there, caked in leaves, twigs, splatterings of mud from rain -you name it. It’s been there as long as we’ve been...

Seems to be around the 2-3 year mark when a lot of owners sell them on. The honeymoon period passes - the windy draught in your empty wallet gets tiresome and you're immensely paranoid about every knock and rattle that you 'think' you hear. Evos cost a lot to run - and whichever way you look...

Just get that V slowly dying amongst the undergrowth, next to The Skylark chippy, Chris. I wince every time I glance at it in passing.

Definitely this. I wouldn't want to be chastised by a lengthy set of rules, if instead you could tinker away with your car and have fun on open track days.

As above - you'll have to be willing to make the distance if the car that meets your expectations, is far away. When I went looking at the Evo - that was 250 miles away - one way, from me. Then back after I viewed it, then back and forth again once I bought it - in all, 1,000 miles for it to...

Great responses guys - these are exactly the sort of comments I was after in terms of people who had done similar, or at least knew someone who has. As above, £20k into an Astra GTE is absolute idiocy from a money perspective. But with projects such as this, the financial aspect is secondary -...
