    Bioshock

    Tough luck, Royston. :( I tried an 'acquired' version at first and it was a fecker to get running. Not long after that, I bought the retail version and at the end of the installation - it immediately checks & verifies for updates over the internet. Cancel that, and it disappears completely. No...

    Data recovery, external hard disks, know how required

    ^^^ - I can vouch for those guys. We had a Mac drive fail with shitloads of photos on it at work. Cost around £75 for the initial analysis, and a further £900+ for the recovery itself. They managed to get back pretty much every file (literally single figures in ones that were too corrupted)...

    Are 182 brakes naturally rear-biased?

    Just wondering really. I had mine in for its MOT today and it failed on two points. One was for the rear reg-plate light not working, but the other was that the rear pads were down to less than 1.5mm. I really am doubting that, tbh. They are Redstuff pads all round, fitted at the same time as...

    Fallout 3

    Still dealing with Trogs - the 'ol Sydney's SMG way.... :) D.

    Draytek 2820 users

    Not known of any with our 2820's m8, and they seem leagues ahead of the other routers I've used. You should be glad of the 21MB, even. I'm on 1.5MB (ADSL) and 1.8MB (ADSL2) at home! D.

    Plymouth - Mutley Plain - Behind Sommerfield

    I'll be down there myself in June. Good to take the 182 around some of the old haunts. ;) D.

    Just had our first MK6 Golf GTI delivered

    Maybe (like Audi) - they are trying to blur the lines of distinction between the top-end models and the next ones down? I mean, look at the Audi S range. From a lot of angles, they are very subtle and don't crave attention. Yet they happily just add S-Line options on pretty much everything -...

    Custom built Baseunit?

    www.microdirect.com has always been good for me. It does help that I can pop into Manchester and pick up items, rather than waiting on delivery though. D.

    Couple of pics of my new DC5

    Lovely motor m8 - I like them in that colour too. The suspension is just a great cherry on top! Ol' Chrissy boy is SLACKING yet again. Post 12 and he's still nowhere in sight. Letting the i-VTEC side down...... again. ;) D.

    Got my new 182! FINALY

    Gah! :eek: Extra weight and the incovenience of zero boot space? Get that spare ditched - that's what mobile phones are for. "Help, I've fooked my tyre" ;) Only ever had one tyre issue in 17 years - which luckily only blew about 2 miles from home. Crawled back and got a replacement the...

    Fallout 3

    Download both of the new DLCs yesterday and headed straight for The Pitt. Got six of those ingots so far, but the I'm massively helped by that auto-axe from Marco - that thing it superb. If/when I get out of the Pitt, I'll hand that to Fawkes and tell him/her/it to go into melee attack mode. :)...

    Longest original RS back-box in terms of mileage?

    ROFL! There's a very good chance it will be! D.

    Longest original RS back-box in terms of mileage?

    How old is yours? ;) I'm knocking on 60k on mine and the bugger is still going. Not much life in it now, I reckon - but given the wonderful build quality of the OEM item, 60k must be quite impressive - lol? D.

    Gaming Laptop reccomendations..

    Exactly. And that's where the problems arise. Starving half-decent kit of plenty of wattage is like running an F1 car on a pint of fuel......... with the todgers of mice acting as an injectors. All show & no go! :rasp: D.

    Oulton Park - Vee & RB

    Mr. Mossy FAIL. Mrs. Mossy said last night that she completed the crossword in no time. You'll have to buy her more magazines, next time! :cool: I take it you both got back ok? D.

    Thinking of getting a clio sport

    Whereabouts are you, Matt? I sure if could see the Local Meetings section (I think you'll have to be a paid member to do so?) - that there would be something in your area soon. There is normally a wide selection of Clios turning up, so you could see a host of options, first hand. D.

    Rare Clio Cup

    Lol - though I actually know someone who maybe interested in that cup! D.

    Fallout 3

    Sorted! There's the weekend gone, then :) D.

    A few desktop images...

    All good, but the Evo one got me a little moist. Any chance of a 1280x1024 copy being sent over? ;) D.

    Duke Nuken Forever - Never

    ROFL! Chronological release dates of various titles (TBC) Duke Nukem Forever - 2020, maybe, possibly - if someone buys the rights. Then it will be in development for a further 12 years. GT5 - Penned for release when the global oil reserves run dry. Sony's strategic marketing plan is that...

    Duke Nuken Forever - Never

    I'm glad in a way. DN was epic in its day, but I think it would just feel lacking and tired as a game if released these days. Some things are best left in the past, imo. D.

    Manifold to Cat joint

    Bugger - I did have the Reno part number somewhere as I replaced the kit myself last year. I think they were called 'front mount inserts' or something and £40 sounds about right. I think the kit was £35+VAT, iirc. Needed a hacksaw with a metal cutting blade to get through one of the knackered...

    MINI V-Tec DONE!!!

    Hahaha! Epic! That will be one to keep posting pictures up here, of. :) D.

    One for DK? Memory & Xeon scenario?

    I find that surprising myself - especially when even entry-level desktops and laptops support 64-bit now. I still really like XP64 as an O/S, though I do think that that was a half-hearted attempt by Microsoft to support 64-bit. Definitely ahead of its time, imo. Maybe Microsoft should bite...

    WeeKend Yank meet and random others

    Love the 'ol Yank Tanks. Probably the likes of which we will never see again. I have never, ever understood the likes of the 'Ferrari' at the top. Even a newbie petrolhead would spot that a mile off as being a fake. Poor old Enzo would be turning in his grave. Changing the body panels on a...

    MINI V-Tec DONE!!!

    ROFL - Nutter! :cool: I'm actually amazed how the Honda lump has slotted in there quite nicely. I didn't expect that much space around it. Is it actually used for racing, or pure drag work? D.

    One for DK? Memory & Xeon scenario?

    Balls. That will teach me to read the small print about the Xeons in future. :) Couldn't agree more with the x64 comment. We're updating the main SQL server to sit on Windows 2008 x64. The speed hike in testing alone has been impressive with quad-Xeons under the hood. D.

    One for DK? Memory & Xeon scenario?

    First time I've come across this situation.... We've got a HP-Compaq Proliant ML350 G5 running 2x dual core Xeons (5140 spec) that had been running on 4GB memory. I bought a replacement wedge of memory - 4x 4GB full buffered Kingston sticks and the server has thrown a right paddy. Looking...

    My Barn find

    Is that suspension kit on the roof to be fitted to it? ;) D.
