    Megapixel arguement

    It's like the old "which is heavier, 1 ton of bricks, or 1 ton of feathers?". If he was asking if a 3MP image is the same size as a 10MP image you'd be right. But he's asking if two 6x4 images are the same size...which they obviously are...both 6x4.

    Track Wheel Question....

    I think the rolling radius might be slightly bigger on the ones I use, but not so much that you'd notice any difference at all. The only real difference I can tell when running the 15" track tyres is the noise from the tread pattern, and the crashy low speed ride from the stiff sidewalls...

    Track Wheel Question....

    I run 205/50/15s on track on standard suspension and rubbing's never been an issue. Got some 15" rims for sale too if you're interested...could bring them to FCS?

    My wife is SO good to me...

    That's a privalege of being married. After all, I have effectively paid for it.

    FCS 2007 Tracktime for ClioSport

    It's an add-on to an HIC policy. Full cover, £500 excess (if you can prove that you've been on track before), no limit to the number of days per annum, all applies so long as the organisor is either a; Manufacturer Magazine Member of the Association of British Trackday Organisors I think it...

    My list is; Paint wheels Go through car wash The wheels I'm doing after work this week by hand - with a lovely brush finish.

    V power

    I use V-Power because it's the best. As above, you go a LOT further per tank/gallon than you do with supermarket pish.

    Awesome Ferrari Enzo driving!

    Nice :approve: Bit loose at the back though.

    My wife is SO good to me...

    Ha ha ha :) I'm playing through (slowly) Forza 2 at the moment. Enjoying learning the tracks and the individual intracacies of the different cars. I can see what you're saying about driving/playing...but I actually learn from this. The dynamics modelling in Forza is very very good, so I like...

    My wife is SO good to me...

    ...I've been talking about getting one of these for ages. Been watching one on eBay for the last week, but no matter how much I want/need one, I struggled with the idea of spending £200+ on it. Then she goes and makes the decision for me, early Happy Birthday MarkCup :D I only got it tonight...

    FCS 2007 Tracktime for ClioSport

    It's normally no more than £10 for passenger's admin . Didn't realise this was run by BaT. That means my on-track insurance is valid :evil:

    FCS Security?

    Excellent...I'll take whatever space is going thanks...us minimum wage 172 Cup paupers have got to stick together ;)

    removing sticker residue

    Yep, great stuff. Smells a bit though.

    FCS Security?

    I need to leave my road wheels somewhere safe as I'll be sticking track wheels on as soon as I arrive. I can't leave them in my boot as I'll break my neck at the first braking zone...so, how at risk are things left on our "stand"? Have people had things nicked/damaged before? Anyone care to...

    FCS 2007 Tracktime for ClioSport

    Excellent! I get a run out with Cliosport before going up against the cup racers with Williams Clio :approve:
  19. Tighten My Nuts

    You know, these 172s are pretty quick!

    You've lost me totally. Who was it that said a Cup was quicker than an M3? If no one said that, what's your point exactly?

    Fingers crossed for good weather...the last 4 or 5 times I've been on track it's been really crappy.

    Nah, you're gonna have to work for it ;) . I'll have the camera backwards on your session I think, get some good footage of you all in action.

    :eek: 5 hybrids and 2 cup racers. I'm f***ed.

    You know, these 172s are pretty quick!

    An instructor doesn't affect straight line speed, only corner entry and exit, everyone drives the straight with their foot to the floor. On that video there are two long bursts of straight line acceleration - and he pulls away, but not as much as some of these "it's a fcukuin supercar and would...

    You know, these 172s are pretty quick!

    Really? I handed this 321bhp M3 its a*** - video Sure he pulled in a straight line, but it was only as I got to the top of 4th that he really started getting away - and how often does that happen on the roads (120+ mph)? You'll always get this sort of reaction. I didn't hear you say you...

    Another TV question - full HD vs 100Hz?

    I got a Panasonic TH42PX70 recently for £749 delivered. Great TV.

    do you take your car in the car wash?

    Mine's only ever known car washes. I tell a lie...I did hand wash it maybe 4 or 5 times just after I got it. Lazy? No. Busy is what I'd call it. I'm never selling mine so it's appearance is irelevant to me.
