Toypop - you've definitely got something amiss there, m8. :S I ran the demo with my trusty 'ol 9800 Pro and it ran fine. Didn't have all the eye-candy switched on, but in 1280x1024 (or 980?) it was smooth enough... D.

Dave - got this yesterday. My time on the PC is now split 3-ways. EaW, BFME2 and GT Legends. Why do we only have 24 hours in a single day? ;) D.

Is it Starforce protection on RD3? I know quite a few firms have had post-release issues with this. Usually fixed with a quick patch though. The firmware idea is a very good one - certainly worth doing. OLI - pm me with your email address as I've downloaded a .bin file for your drive...

Good choice of car and colour Stev! Any idea of the mileage on it? I had my '54 plate from new and like most cars, it took a couple of months to loosen up. It will put a smile on your face - they are cracking cars! :) D.

I'm sure you can Andy - I haven't really checked as I've only started on the single player campaign. D.

Macs. The new door-stops for 2006..... ;) D.

Yep - I'll probably get that at some point too, Dave. The demo was good :) D.

Well, it won't beat C&C or LOTR-BfME it terms of true RTS master status, but it's a good game all the same. It has a good unique feature where pressing the Spacebar during a 'mission' zooms you into a random camera view to see what's going on, close up. There's a big polarity in the way the...

Off topic here m8, but that last picture is just awesome. It would sit next to my Evo 6 RS Sprint in the 'rally corner' of my Dream Garage..... :approve: D.

Well, I got some at dinner, so there's no going back now! Picked up one of the Meg's Water Magnet Drying Towels as well after hearing some good reports about them.... Wish me luck! D.

Spotted it on the forecourt this morning. No idea of price/condition or anything, but it's there for sale if anyone's interested? Looked bloody great, imo.... :D D.

Nice one - tips aplenty here! I found the microwave idea funny! You've actually answered my next question too. Obviously, claying is something only to be done when needed. I did have the idea of maybe twice a year being enough and that seems to be the consensus here... Is there anything that...

Cheers for the tips acejon. :cool: Is the standard bottle of Quik Detailer fluid plenty enough for a full car too? D.

How far would an 85g bar go on a 182? I know you're supposed to use it roughly in three pieces or so, but am I likely to go through a full bar on say the bonnet and front wings? I'd rather buy more than one that to run short half-way through! ;) Also, do clay bars have a shelf life? Can they...

Sounds good wozzaa ;) Just installing it now..... D.

I really think its about time that insurance companies should get off their arses and start analysing the vast databases of information that they have at hand. The whole issue of age is bad enough (sub 67.2 years of age and forget about getting a decent quote) but the postcode one is just as...

Nice one m8 - cheers :) D.

Lovely jubbly. I hope it's still got the Aussie V8s from the single player demo? ;) D.

Are they good enough for everyday driving or are their 3rd party options that are much better out there? On my Punto GTT, I noticed a much smoother engine response across the range, after ditching the Fiat stock items. That's not surprising really - Italian manufacturing and worthy...

Here, here! The official 'line' is that we're on 2MB broadband with Wanadoo. But because the phone line into our house was laid when Cromwell was giving the Royals some jip, I can't break the 512k mark.... :( D.

Subtle. But against the rules on here..... D.

I'd certainly recommend one. :approve: I've got the smaller 2GB version and thats more than plenty enough for me. Suprisingly for an Apple product, it has far more function than just form alone. The i-Tunes software, though a tad fiddly at times is pretty straight-forward - certainly after a...

Maz - not sure if this sounds daft or not, but can you see any batch numbers/production ref. numbers on the Magnex? Even if you don't have a proof of purchase, surely a digi-photo of these sent to them directly with an irrate letter from yours truly would warrant at least some response from...

LOL - 1.2 16v to a 172 Cup? Be careful with the GO pedal, m8! ;) D.

An RS1800 against a 172 would have no chance in standard form. It was comparable to my Punto GTT low-down, but once the turbo had spooled up, it was much quicker than the RS. As for the Neon, does he mean the SR-T version? D.

She probably just got her insurance quote through. Must be difficult being a woman and paying £3.50 a year.....(asbestos suit, here I come....!) ;) D.

I have on mine ;) SoundBlaster X-Fi Fatal1ty out to a Cambridge SoundWorks DTT3500 Dolby Digital Decoder using a optic fibre cable. Also used the same on my nVidia SoundStorm audio before that. Not that common but some of us do use it.... D.

Yep, I've got the X-Fi Fatal1ty as well. If you can stretch your budget to this or the Elite Pro model, it's worth it as each of these cards has the 64MB X-Ram onboard, whereas the Xtreme Music and Platinum versions don't. I got mine for the sole intention of improving Battlefield 2. The...

wozzaa - I've also noticed that different resolutions and V-sync enable/disable options seem to make quite a bit of difference in the default settings of most games. I had a dabble with Halo on the PC over the weekend and set it to 1024x768. Looked bright but a bit jerky. Upped it to 1280x1024...

Cheers m8! :D I've used the duct-tape mod for the torch before and set all the brightness, contrast and gamma sliders to show the game 'how it should be', imo. Having things dark and moody is one thing - having it programmed where you can't see feck all isn't dark and moody - it's just...
