    Some 182 Trophy advice, please.....

    Decisions, decisions! Oh, eck! :S The Recaros are p**n and the rarity of it just really appeals to me. Finding a good one maybe hard? Is there any hike in insurance with it having that gold-laminated, diamond encrusted, titanium suspension setup? Any excuse for the insurer's to bump up the...

    Some 182 Trophy advice, please.....

    In a nutshell, a worthy upgrade from a FF 182? I've had my 182 for nearly 2 years now and I'm thinking of speaking to place I got it from and tranferring the finance to a 2nd hand Trophy. I really, really like the look of them - especially seeing one up close (cheers Ad!) on the NW Run the...

    197 test drive last night :-(

    Good review there m8. Tbh, even if you said it was great, I just couldn't put up with the looks. The 172 & 182s look purposeful, nippy and a fun car - and with something like the Williams before it, even more so. Of the 197s I've seen about, they do absolutely nothing for me. It is a shame, and...

    she's finally finished!

    Looks really well, m8. The yellow works really well with the silver too. It's a shame to see it get dirty now...... ;) D.

    Websites and Firefox

    We split browsers at work for this reason alone. While we're developing the website, most of us use IE, yet I stick with Firefox. I just like the no-nonsence approach to Firefox, rather than the bloatware IE. Your page worked fine for me in Firefox, btw... :cool: D.

    Apple Mac or Windows PC?

    Doubt it m8. Given what you said earlier, it sounds like the iMac will be right up your street. I wouldn't even bother thinking about Vista just now. By the time it finally get's released, it will only look like a rip-off, cut-down version of OSX anyway.... ;) D.

    Apple Mac or Windows PC?

    No way! That's reserved for other, special purposes......:rasp: D.

    More Negative Press For Vista

    That's only because most home users are unaware of how to use and implement Linux on their home PC. The fact that anyone can go into a PC World store with a few hundred quid in their pocket and pickup a Mac, is the reason why OSX would be a more likely option. And the fact that the Mac (in any...

    Wire your bonnet to the National Grid, Lee. They will soon learn.... ;) D.

    Do that - and I will hunt you down and beat you repeatedly with a rusty keyboard. :rasp: D.

    Audi A6 =1, Clio 172 cup =0 My car crash :(

    Poor sod. Hope you manage to get it sorted out m8 - and don't (please!) claim for any personal injury if you haven't had cause to do so. By the sounds of it, you have decent morals - instead of pumping up the insurance premiums for everyone else (and yourself, in the long run). Let's just hope...

    Apple Mac or Windows PC?

    I think going off your requirements that you posted earlier on sneeks, the Mac sounds like the better option? D.

    New SimBin (GTR) game already

    Now then :) If you get the chance to ram that smug-b*****d James Thompson into the barriers, then I'll buy multiple copies of the damn thing.... ;) D.

    Blue 182 - near Blackburn Rovers - approx 12.20 today.

    Spotted it coming the other way - '04 plate, iirc. I was in a work's Golf at the time, so you wouldn't have seen me..... ;) Anyone? D.

    £200 for a steering wheel?

    http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/GB/EN,CRID=2217,CONTENTID=11867 Looks great - especially the 3-pedal setup and the 6-speeder gearstick, further down the page. Cheapest I saw was around 150 notes on dabs.com, but I can't see it being good for the majority of racing games that...

    The only saving grace with this chaps, is that all online BF2 scallies may jump-ship and switch to BF2142 instead. Thus leaving the BF2 servers free for people like us! ;) D.

    ADSL connectivity questions

    Lee - we had similar issues when our home BB connection was upgraded to theoretical 8MB. I think because we were at the limits of BB connection from the local exchange anyway, this played havoc with our line. Having discussed this with the ISP (and trying equipment solely through the BT master...

    Bf 2142

    Well, I've only given it half-an-hour, which is far from a proper test, but I tend to agree with you Griff. There's an 'emptiness' to it that makes you almost redundant into what is going on around you. I thought the walkers would make for an awe-inspiring unit to avoid whilst playing as...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. <----no info inside

    I could be totally wrong, but looooong, drawn-out production runs on games rarely bode well for the game in question. The other problem is that after so much hype, screenshots, previews, etc over time - the game can never meet the expectations raised. Worse still, are when much better and...

    I'll just save and print this post for future proof then, Roy. When STALKER arrives in 2018, we'll get your forum name changed to Rear-Canal Roy without any trouble. Don't you worry. ;) D.

    It was indeed me who posted the UT2007 pre-order link. I didn't order it though! :rasp: Wasn't it May next year, or something? D.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. <----no info inside

    And what are the odds-on favourite, that it will turn out to be a load of sh1te? I never get my hopes up about releases, far into the future. UT2007? I'll be interested in it when a release date is like 4 weeks away - and pretty much guaranteed at that. Pointless exercise, imo - thinking...

    Thanks for the detailed analysis there, Griff..... ;) Set it downloading this morning - was going to try it tonight. D.

    Battlefeild 2142 Demo

    Yup - a definite piece of p1ss with a joystick. Feck knows how some ppl fly the choppers in BF2 with mouse and keyboard. With a 3-axis stick, it's easy.... :cool: D.

    It nearly went all wrong..

    I agree, m8. I've had the 'pleasure' of driving over there and a quick 80-90mph to us is almost pedestrian to the highways over in Dubai. Glad to hear that you're ok though. I've only had to use the anchors on the 182 once in anger, but at a guess, I was probably only doing 60mph at the time...

    Did anyone see that mini Pug 106 Rallye convoy that came the other way??? D.

    NW - Wales Run pic bad attempt at taking pics

    Cool pics - good shot of mine too. You got the side that was completely filthy - the other had a clean spot from the egg-cleaning episode the night before.... ;) Who's was the silver 172 with the 'Ring sticker on the boot? Sounded awesome that thing - looked really, really tidy too. :approve: D.

    Battlefeild 2142 Demo

    Re: battlefeild 1242 demo Me - looks good. I hope it's good. Maybe it will push the Battlefield franchise further? :evil: Cynical Me :evil: - yet another EA cash-grabbing exercise. Tarted-up Battlefield 2 engine to replace tanks with mechs, assault rifles with lasers, etc. Still the same...
