    172 Cup - *** JYM - Haslingden

    Spotted it earlier this evening near the Tesco roundabout. Bloke driving it and it looked standard apart from the Lexus lights at the back. I would have been right behind you if Farmer Giles wasn't doing 2.8mph in his Isuzu Tank in front. :dapprove: D.

    "Becky R" - blue 182 with stripes - Blackburn

    You're safe, Anni. As Lee says, her's was arctic - not RB. ;) D.

    graphics card

    You'll run CoH with that, no probs. I've still got twin 7900GTX's in mine and there really has to be loads going on on the screen for it to slow down in the slightest. Just started the mission last night with the Royal Commandos attacking a German airbase. Quality stuff. :) D.

    "Becky R" - blue 182 with stripes - Blackburn

    Saw it on the way home tonight as I was coming out from Shadsworth. Only caught a glimpse of the plate, but I think that's what it said! Heading towards KFC/hospital way. Anyone? D.

    East Anglia BBQ meet

    +1 :) D.

    graphics card

    Lol! It's well worth it if you manage to sort the card out. I've finished the US and German campaigns - and I'm a couple of missions into the British one. It 'may' just be heading in front of C&C as my favourite RTS title. A superb game. D.

    graphics card

    Have you tried Company of Heroes : Opposing Forces, m8? I've recently put it back on my PC and its a cracking RTS game. Based on the age-old Germans vs. World scenario of World War 2 with some really detailed unit animation in it. I posted a thread about it last year with some screenshots...

    My first R27 question!

    It could be that you're still in Vee-Mode, Dan? ;) Being in the Vee feels like its got enough weight to steam-roller any lumps and bumps out of the road. The R27 will be a fair bit lighter and probably more sensitive to anything other than ultra-smooth tarmac? Just my 10p worth as a guess. D.

    PM Mike_182 - he seems really clued-up on the gfx side of things. D.

    graphics card

    I would have thought you'd be able to get a 8600GT/GTS for that kind of money? Good, average card. I take it that your PC has the PCI-E graphics slot on it? D.

    Any HP Proliant gurus here?

    Lol - yes. :o I did say that I couldn't see the wood for the trees. I double-checked the BIOS settings and clear as day - there was the option to disable/enable 'POST F1 Prompt' DOH! Thanks anyway, m8! D.

    MS SQL Licences

    Hehehe! Tell me about it. I really do think that Microsoft try their damned hardest to make licensing difficult. In theory, its a piece of piss. Yet they go out of their way to make it hard. D.

    BARGAIN V6 quick !!!!!

    I really do not get the reason why anyone would be interested in that? :S I could get an Evo easy then. Buy a shed of a Charisma taxi - slap two of Ripspeed's finest front fogs on and weld a picnic table to the boot. Job done. There's an Evo there........ honest. D.

    Any HP Proliant gurus here?

    I saw that option Mike. I was half-on the clicky-ticky option, but thought better of it. :) Dave - cheers for the link, m8. That looks to be the trick. Exchange is just being put on it now, so once that's out of the way, I'll restart it and go into Advanced Mode. D.

    Why, of course. :cool: I was going to the butty shop, heading into Darwen first but my car went onto auto-pilot...... D.

    MS SQL Licences

    Big money if you're going per-processor. How many devs would be on the system internally? If there are loads of you, you quickly get to a break-even point where the cost of the SQL CALs surpasses the costs of the PP licence. I don't think you can buy SQL2000 stuff anymore, but you should be...

    Can anyone repair laptops? Or recommend a repair centre?

    I'd be worried about sending your laptop anywhere, Chris. I thought you said the 'private collection' you had on there made Gary Glitter's look tame? D.

    Windows on mac?

    Ewww. That just sounds wrong...... :rasp: D.

    Came up behind you as you turned down Bennington St. Sounded good, though you need to straighten your exhaust a bit. ;) D.

    Print Server

    ^^^^ - yep.... 'CRINGE!'. Though to be fair, since we switched to Citrix PS4, it's been far better than the older MetaFrame XPa. If there's an issue with a print client - it just affects that print client and doesn't batter the entire print spooler anymore. HP printer kit just works. We have...

    Any HP Proliant gurus here?

    I've just reformatted a HP ML350 G3 server with Windows 2003 Standard Edition. The O/S is fine, but at the BIOS level, I have to press F1 for the server to actually continue and boot-up. It's a stupidly obvious problem and I think I'm not seeing the wood for the trees - lol! I've gone through...

    Petrol Shootout Test - Tesco 99 Is the Winner

    I do use Tesco stuff the most - occasionally, V-Power. The key difference I notice over the higher octane stuff compared to 95RON, is the much smoother idling. I notice it a lot when sat in traffic and certainly lower down the rev-range, the car feels smoother as a whole. I would have thought...

    Silvertec bulbs, before and after

    They do look SO much better. I can't believe I left mine for so long before I got them changed from the sh1tty OEM orange things. You got them from Halfords at a tenner for four? Proper bargain - they used to be £14.99 a pair! D.

    Request: Black (Old Style) NumberPlates On Clio's

    Head over to www.v6clio.net, Nick. Do a search under the user k1ano (Martin). There should be several pictures of his black plates on his black gold V6. D.

    RS Owners Gala Dinner at RWS.

    Was very good last year - really enjoyed it. :) Any anywhere with a chocolate fountain gets the thumbs-up in my book. ;) D.

    be gentle - new 172 cup owner

    Hi James - nice looking motor! I was looking for a 172 Cup, before stumping up the extra and buying my 182 from new, back in 2004. I've had a soft spot for them ever since - especially as Chris (Chris 'n Nic on here) has let me have a go in his car a few times. Makes my 182 feel heavy, sluggish...

    WHAT A BIRTHDAY!!

    b*****ds :mad: Hopefully you can get it sorted. Just a shame that you'll have to go through your own insurance for it. D.

    The Clutch Creak

    It does the exact same on the 182's as well. And as others, gets noticably worse when the weather gets warmer. I think its time the car gets on the stands again for a proper look. Probably having the clutch cable travel halfway around the engine bay on the right-hookers, doesn't help things...
