    CAT5 cabling - WTF?!

    Only just. We gave up on smoke signals last week.....:rasp: D.

    CAT5 cabling - WTF?!

    Cool - got one done! None of the colours are right, but at least they are in there, eh! ;) Cheers all D.

    CAT5 cabling - WTF?!

    Yep, I've got the colour codes ok, but I just can't get the wires to go in smoothly. Either one crosses over another, or one kinks, etc. It probably just takes practice? D.

    CAT5 cabling - WTF?!

    Ok chaps - please tell me I'm being a proper bell and making these CAT5 cables up wrong. I've got the cable stripper, the CAT5 plug, the crimping tool and plenty of CAT5 cable to practice on. What I'm short on is both patience and talent. How the funk do you get all 8 wires to slide into the...

    Took the plunge... MacBook Pro

    Ah - it won't have been that one then! LOL! D.

    Took the plunge... MacBook Pro

    Are these the Macs on offer for around £560+VAT? Seems a decent spec piece of kit, for the money. D.

    do you take your car in the car wash?

    PMSL! :D Anyone called 999 for him yet? ;) Giles, you need horse-whipping for even mentioning such a deluded and demented question. I'm far from being Captain Detailer, but under no circumstance would I give my car a thrashing with one of those. The Celica I borrowed and car-washed a mere...

    Flooded 182

    If some Taleban wannabe stole my car and used it as a bomb - like fcuk would the insurers get away with it - I'd bloody make sure of that. :mad: They've had around £16k of my money over the years with zero claims. If something like that happened beyond my control, then they would pay up. End...

    Think it's time to go

    Could you afford to get a cheap, clapped-out 106 diesel for work, trips to the b/f, etc? And then keep the 182 for the weekend blats? D.

    It's back. Oh dear me

    Clear proof that even after pumping thousands into something that you think looks the nutts - 99% of people disagree with you. Thumbs up for effort, but I would feel the biggest t1t driving around in that. You can almost imagine the scene at a set of traffic lights when the local scallies in...

    197

    Easy. Get rid of half of the sh1te that designers 'think' people want - like climate control, air-con, in-car MP3s, 9+ speaker systems etc and focus on the car itself. You would soon start to seen large pockets of space appearing within the body shell then. I'm not specifically targetting the...

    Mac Pro performance

    Funnily enough, I saw the MD about 10 minutes later and told him the results. I think he can justify the expense in his own mind now! It really was impressive to see. I knew it would be a lot quicker, but not by a factor of 30. D.

    Mac Pro performance

    Feck - it's a tad quick! The Mac Pro from the other thread... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=234118 .... finally had the 4GB of memory turn up this morning. We left the original 1GB in there, so it now has 5GB in total. Time for a bit of speed comparison... Opening the...

    Clio V6 supercharged

    He's ditching the supercharger in favour of the turbo(s) from what I gather. He's not running both. D.

    Clio V6 supercharged

    Twin turbo I think, but I could be wrong.... D.

    "Mick's" RenaultSport badged 172 Cup - you know where

    Hehe! Aye, it's doing fine. Not too far off it's biggy 36k service, so I'll have to start putting aside some cash for that. Apart from the flaking on the rims, is your's ok? D.

    "Mick's" RenaultSport badged 172 Cup - you know where

    Ah, you're a braver man that me - I'd never parked that close to the entrance with all the idiots in their company cars and stuff. They don't give a flying t0ss opening their doors on cars at the side of them. I'm usually up near the petrol station bit. In fact, it's butty time now, so I'm out...

    Pilsworth Asda tonight - black gold 182 with Lexus lights (pic)

    It would be far easier for you to drive the 200yards to Asda. I'm sure my stalking abilities would be able to find your car in the car-park! ;) D.

    Spotted it as I walked in. Looked clean and shiny - even in the rain! D. (aka The Supermarket Stalker)

    Funniest Thing You Have Been Told By A Dealer...

    Me, going to the Parts Desk at Fiat and the bloke asking what car I had. "Punto GT Turbo" I responded and he flatly said that Fiat had never made a turbo version. When I laughed and said they did, he got stern and stressed that they hadn't. Blokey's mate at the side of him sniggered and told...

    Oulton Park 24.06.07 pics

    But just to the left of that, was a Corsa VXR - and that looked ten times better! ;) Finally sat in the Clio R27 that they had there. Great seating position - much, much better than the 182. If I put the seat fully back, it actually went too far back for me to feel comfortable with. The 182...

    Pilsworth Asda tonight - black gold 182 with Lexus lights (pic)

    Only for 49.98% of the time..... ;) Haz - I didn't notice that other Clio until I uploaded the picture. I should keep my eyes open more in future! D.

    lots at Oulton park today

    Lol - some good pics there, Greeni! :) The comments about "huh huh - are those Clios breeding?" started to wear a bit thin after 36th time - but it was a good laugh. Quite a few people had some good comments and the mini-convoy attracted loads of attention when we moved near to the...

    Pilsworth Asda tonight - black gold 182 with Lexus lights (pic)

    FFS - I only ever seem to spot RS's in bloody Asda car-parks! ;) Anyways, spotted this one on the way out tonight - just loading up with some last minute things before we set off for Oulton Park in the morning. :cool: Anyone off here? I didn't notice any stickers. Not a fan of...
