Steveo - the drive up to Matlock would be a mere quick blat out for the mega-miles you do! D.

Have you approached the Oxford Dictionary people about trademarking "Winstonising"? Surely there must be many royalties to be made from the name? ;) D.

I'd pull over for it if it came up behind me. Look evil. ;) D.

Re: Richard f**king Treen... That boy sure does have some patience! D.

Tut tut. You've missed Company of Heroes off that list! My favourite RTS at the minute. Love it. D.

I hope so. I have a 4870 on the way. :cool: D.

If you'd stayed still long enough Dan, he may have even PC'd you on the bonnet at the same time. ;) D.

Ah - I was there today though. Parked the 182 in an area with no other cars around. The sad fecker that I am! ;) D.

sargey - if your budget will reach to the 3850 mentioned on the 2nd link above - that's definitely worth it. D.

Come on - you're both wrong. Black gold clearly has the edge. Fitted with a limiter as well to keep it down with the slower colours. :rasp: D.

As others - it really comes down to what you want. The 172 vs 182 argument has been done to death in terms of performance. With the exception of the 172 Cup, the standard cars - like for like are very similar indeed. Some people can have a 'fast' 172 just in the same way some can have a 'slow'...

Eh? Is Anni driving around in an Intel server now? :clown: D.

Lol - we're brainwashed!!! ;) D.

You'll run rings around Mossy - just find a route with loads of speed-bumps - lol! D.

ROFL! D.

4870's are around £150+VAT. Not bad at all that, imo. Quite a bit less than the GTX pricing! Haven't nVidia dropped the GTX260 pricing to be more on par with ATi, recently? Decisions, decisions. Sacrifice the SLi functionality and get the ATi, or get the nVidia card with the option for SLi...

Nothing that a bit of shoe or bag bribery couldn't sort out, eh? ;) D.

Is that two spots in two days, Mossy?! D.

You're SO lucky Carmen doesn't read these forums Mossy! :rasp: D.

Doesn't the 4870 have inbuilt physics support too, wozzaa? I was thinking of maybe getting a single 4870 for my PC at the moment. It's an AMD based system on a M2N32-SLI mobo. Far from cutting edge now, but it would benefit from one of those, rather than the SLI'd 7900GTXs that I have now. :)...

Bugger. Stick with Sky then, I suppose? Cheers anyway! D.

It won't be Glenn - he's got an uber-rare colour (think yellow)! D.

Chaps, Are there any links or info relating to areas that haven't got cable coverage, having some ETA on when they will be done? I'm assuming that not everywhere can or will have cable access - but it would be good to find out. Cheers, D.

^^^^ - how are you finding the Radeon 4870s? I was thinking of switching from nVidia on the next build. I was impressed with my 9800 Pro back in the day and liked the regular driver updates (compared to nVidia). Noticed a fair few BSODs with the 3850 series, but they are getting better, imo. D.

Good effort - if a little OTT in parts. Having said that, the pic below just looks awesome. :) D.

I'll be keeping an eye on that - sounds like it could be interesting. In the bigger picture, I wish AMD would pull something out the bag. A one-horse like Intel is at the moment, is never good for progress - or pricing. D.

Mossy, per chance? :) D.

Pass it most days now with the roadworks on Grane Road being on/off. Posted on here a while back about it but didn't hear anything. D.

The stupidity of insurance in its current state - is that it just promotes new drivers from not taking out any insurance at all. Imo, the entire industry needs a total overhaul. There should be a similar 'innocent-until-proven-guilty' attitude towards drivers - instead of just crucifying them...

Saw it parked up there yesterday - late afternoon... D.
