ROFL! How fecking difficult is it?! The acceleration I can just about cope with, but it's the braking I'm finding so hard. I either aqua-plane into the gravel/wall/tyres or end up doing about 10mph - 100 yards short of the bloody apex! :cool: One thing I've tried that seems to have some...

Hi m8 - I presume you're already registered on nogripracing.com? If not, it's free to do anyway. When you're in there, the link is this one.... http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=12641 D.

More than a bit bloody tricky! The AI clearly had more traction control dialed-in. There was just no way that I could keep up with them on the straights without the arse-end going all over the place. I managed just over 2mins on the laptime, though sub-2mins I think is...

Not bad when you look at it like that. That's only around £2 per day. D.

FFS! Can a mod delete the extra 'challenge' from the thread header - DOH! ;) Cheers, D.

Had a go on Brands Hatch '07 last night (full circuit) with a Koenigsegg CCX in heavy rain. Even with wet tyres, that thing is a right handful. Most corners were a skitish 2nd gear - sometimes 3rd, but it was getting the braking right without locking up that was the hardest. Manic wheelspin...

Re: Some c**t reversed into me! Instant stone-chip removal too! ;) D.

V.good price that for your age on an RS. When I was that age, they wanted there or thereabouts for a 1.1 Fiesta. Fooking-postcode-sweeping-statement-boolsh1t! Category E at my parents and Category F where we live. Apparently. Take pictures of where we live and could easily be viewed as Cat B...

Got them all-round on the 182 at the moment (SportContact 2's) and they've done a good job at lasting. Had the fronts fitted in December '07 and they are just showing signs of wearing low now. Switching to Hankook RS2's when they finally go. D.

Update - MOT advisory said that there's a slight leak from the backbox. It's clinging-on to usefulness by the skin of it's teeth. ;) D.

Clearly the potential £££-signs have taken over. D.

Not quite enough venom in that rant to them. The occasional 'tool' or 'muppet' wouldn't have gone amiss. I still think my DVD a la shat would be a much more suitable option. 6.5/10. D.

Hopefully you don't fall into this category...... http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2008/08/29/232075/internet-explorer-8-causes-problems-for-xp-users.htm D.

Good call. Then turn out a nice steaming one - plopped straight onto the DVD and send them a picture of it. Better still, post it to them. D.

That's well weird. Good shout on the post though if other people are suffering from it. D.

Easy to see where he got the inspiration for the interior though..... D.

I don't get that? Unless there's a software-related issue on the Mac, surely the DNS 'performance' as such, would be (or should be) identical to the PCs using the same router? A wired Mac and PC, or wireless equivalents should be the same - or similar enough so much as you wouldn't notice. D.

Had a go of the Audi R8 last night and it was pretty easy to get to grips with. The Mosler before it was much more twitchy, but more fun to drive, imo. Plenty of correction in steering going on - especially gunning it when the rears were on the rumble strips. :cool: Corvette in-car noise =...

Re: 10,000K travelled, 1 Island, 1 toyota corolla 1989, 1.8 diesel SE - gap year edit He should have shipped it back via a container. Wait months for the car to turn up, but it would be fairly cheap, if you knew the right people. Muchos respect to him for doing this. My first trip out to...

Is that the 'click-whirr' noise I hear when the key is turned one notch? Sounds like it comes from behind me in the car. D.

I'll hazard a guess around £13.5k - £13.9k through somewhere like CarSelect. My 182 came in at a drop of £4.3k from what was in the Reno showroom, compared to the one I ordered. The showroom one did have fitted sat-nav, however. D.

I must be going blind. I can't see the bit Nick is on about? D.

What a really generous gesture, Nick. Especially as how proud you were of that shot. Very rare that people give away their skills and abilities for free these days. :approve: D.

It's an EXTREMELY difficult market to get into. The problem you will have is that most people interested in a PC fall into two camps. One half knows to the last tenth of a watt that their i7 PC consumes under load and would want to build and customise everything themselves. The other camp...

Screenies = essential, Royston. Ramp those graphics settings to the max. It is a DX10-compliant game anyways. D.

You could just password protect the document from editing as well? D.

Looks like a superb trip. Must have been worth all that travelling too! Some great motors in there, but the older Porkers look like utter filth. What I wouldn't give for the keys to them and an empty track. :) D.

^^^ - cheers Iain. Got your Steam friends invite through. :) D.

Absolutely fecking brilliant! :approve: Wish I had the skills for something like that! D.

Knows. I crashed the Alfa twice yesterday by staring in amazement that the bugs splats were disappearing when I switched the wipers on. No screenwash though. :( D.
