    Thank goodness it was winter. If it was summer, you'd be dead.

    Rooby Clio 172

    Yeah I'd 'package protect' for lighting ;) Quick Google suggests it's only a couple of hundred quid. I'd pay that for a drive TBQFH :rasp:

    Rooby Clio 172

    Every time someone posts an engine conversion thread, asking stupid questions, I sigh and suggest buying an interesting car in the first place, instead of making something you can already buy 'off the shelf'. This however, is the whole point of an engine conversion to me ! Doing something...

    Winter Tyres

    Bought mine because I could. They've been great so far in the cold mornings/evenings on my commute. Done about 500 miles so far, and the injection moulding nipples are jsut about worn out. I've got somewhere to store a set of wheels, and I had a spare set, so I flogged the old tyres, and...

    Tripod Required!

    Amazon - tripods. I bought my HamaStar 13 or 69 or something like that.. it was bought purely on price. Circa £12. Holds my 7D+silly lens (~1.5kg IIRC) quite happily ! I've never extended it to full height as I wouldn't put anything on like that, but I can't see a reason to have £2k of...

    Girl's reaction's to your RenaultSport?

    Re: Girl's reaction's to your Clio sports? Most girls had no idea what either of mine were about. Current OH used to have a 182 so she's more than aware what the score is.

    Help with getting the best out of a bridge camera

    My Fuji bridge produced some very nice shots. (OK, once I'd got the grips of my 450D I was taking better shots than the below but still...) IMO it's the person taking the shots that makes the photo. Cheaper cameras don't get the clarity in the skys etc, as they try to do everything...

    Dirt on the lens??

    I would hope nothing at all once it's cleaned properly.. but sensors are sensitive things, and I believe have coatings on them. Hopefully it'll be ok, but if it's damaged, it's not THE most expensive thing in the world to replace (or is that the mirror?). Someone who knows what they are...

    tyres scraping wheel arches

    195 or 205 / 45 is the right size for a Clio IIRC ?
  17. TheEvilGiraffe

    Dirt on the lens??

    Whuuuuuuuuups...!!! Cheap Vodka as a solvent, maaaaaaybe... but not on a camera, especially not on the sensor. Good grief. Looks like your Dad owes you a camera. There's a 50D body on the board at work for £450... shall I get you the phone number ? :rasp:

    What tyres would you chose?

    FLOL ! I was juuuuust sayin' :o

    What tyres would you chose?

    You'll be fine I'm sure. My bus is supposed to have 50s but I went to 55. Assuming it's standard (i.e.: not decked) it'll be ok. If it's not ok, blame McBurger Arms.

    What tyres would you chose?

    Minge ? LMFAO ! I can't be arsed right now, I'll do it at some point, probably. Hasn't stopped me doing anything I normally do yet anyway ! I got about 10 posts in and it still didn't say what it was for. There's a Clio in his pic and no note of his car... so I clearly assumed it was a...

    What tyres would you chose?

    No way the 55's will fit on your Clio. They just about fit on my scoob ! Black circles have Kumho KU31s for £60 a corner delivered or £73 fitted. http://www.blackcircles.com/order/tyres/search have a look...

    Dirt on the lens??

    Defo not on the lens (either end) ?! When you change lenses, try and do it quickly and cleanly, and ideally have the body facing the floor so no dust can easily fall in.. also make sure your lenses are clean and dust free, obviously !

    problem with freeview recorder

    Sounds like a signal issue. If the channel you're recording isn't tuned in correctly, or happens to be fuzzy on that day, it'll record the fuzzy picture.. Try it on a few more things and see how you get on. If it's still naff, obviously, take it back...

    White Trackday 172 Project *Contains Awesome*

    Clear the garage and stick it in there. Not much else you can do... simple condensation I guess. Dan's old Ph1 used to do it and only the rear end was stripped...! Was bloody annoying. Sod having nothing in there...!!

    Macbook hard drive has 100gb of unknown stuff on it...

    Click on Finder. Hit 'Finder' on the toolbar thing on the top of the screen next to the Apple logo. Hit preferences. Notice the options for 'show on desktop' Click hard discs. Bask in smugness.

    Old & New

    I thought you'd downgraded for a moment, then realised the bananamobile was Brians ! Did the shipping cost much, Brian ? There's no way you actually drove it out of the CM postcode region...!!
