    What 182 would you pick?

    I've said that the last 2 cars and my motorbike... You'll never stick to it.

    I want to build a 172 replica is it worth the time and money...

    It's one thing saying when you're going to be driving the car, but it's another thing neglecting to tell them that your parents AREN'T driving the car. I just hope you don't crash into me. I'd get a solicitor to wipe the floor with you and have you paying me back for years to come.

    I want to build a 172 replica is it worth the time and money...

    We're dismissive because we've driven basemodels in our past. I had a Fiesta LX, and all I did was make it look different - not like something that it isn't! I've now got my 182, and I would absolutely wet myself at a 1.2 sat next to me with all the badges of a 182, and a wonky 'wish I'd done...

    Autoglym UDS - Which pad?!

    In the end used the White pad to give a better finish after some Sonus Swirl Remover, followed by a gentle coat of Megs #7 and P21S to add a little protection. It looks a picture, I'll have to take a couple of snaps before I bugger off to work in the morning and ruin it!

    Autoglym UDS - Which pad?!

    All, What pad you reckon to smear one of my litres of Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine all over my 182 with my PC? I was thinking Sonus SFX Green and Lake Country White? Am I even in the right ball park?!

    new build

    I've got three HP 1907s for that :evil: 2 8800s SLI'd and a Matrox Triplehead2Go... Nice though, I'll stick a pic up of my office workhorse in a bit, it's a bit of a monster :approve:

    new build

    Nice, but how well does the disk take to where it is? As I've noticed my disk gets fairly warm if I turn off my drive cooling pump.

    Vista Out Today

    I think you need to understand there is a difference between malicious code and viruses... If Microsoft built any AV into Vista they'd be hung, drawn and quartered. If they didn't build ANY defence at all into it then they'd be attacked by the media for being irresponsible. Tell me honestly...

    Lusty Clio (I think!)

    Yep. And THOSE lights :dead: :D

    Vista Out Today

    Well said. Would you use GIMP to protect yourselves from viruses? You look through Vista's options, and despite being shipped with 'Defender', mine still lists as having no AV. Might be a giveaway that! On a side note, put it on the laptop last night using a bodge to get FE890 drivers...

    Lusty Clio (I think!)

    There can only be one person daft enough to do that to their car! :rasp: Think I saw you going through Ashby - I was going opposite way stuck behind a scooter... ARGH! :dapprove:

    Clio on watchdog AGAIN

    Think you may be right - there are similar issues with Fiesta Mks and Phases - what enthusiasts term the Mk5 is a Mk4 Facelift to Ford, and the Mk6 is the Mk5. Perhaps similar with Renault, I know I've looked at mine on my 182 and it doesn't look like it can fail because of the way the clip is...

    how many images will fit

    You won't get many TIFFs on a gb card. I use raw on mine, and only get 70 on a gb card. 300-odd on a 4gb CF.

    Vista Out Today

    Got one, it's not all that. Most of my software just looks at the spare two cores and pulls a funny face, as it's written at best for two processors. :dapprove:

    Greenlight (Highway Insurance) WARNING

    What amazes me is that the police are allowed to take your car off you there and then, but it isn't a legal requirement to put your details in the database they look in before deciding whether you have to walk to work on Monday because the Labour government has got it's head up it's arse...

    Scraping a car.

    Driving it against a wall usually scrapes all the paint off. :D

    Why would you buy a cup over a full fat 172?

    Get a pony! There's one stood somewhere in the middle of a road in leicester for some reason, causing tailbacks only a chav in a 172 mk2 could cause in one of his big efforts at an accident! :p

    182 Fuel Economy

    I only got that by sticking the cruise control on at 70mph and enjoying the scenery! Was good fun.

    XBox Live -PGR tonight anyone ?

    I always hang back and watch those, they're brilliant! Then come in for the kill on the second corner while everyone's trying to recover speed from spins/smashes/forced drifts you can nail it down the inside and laugh at them!

    CBA with that sort of thing! Never mind... I've heard about that one and it's just a big 'nick me' sign!

    XBox Live -PGR tonight anyone ?

    I get proper twitchy playing COD3 online! Cos you just know someone's on your ass but you can't find them and they're waiting for the one-shot kill rather than coming in like me with the guns going mad waving them around!

    182 or 197??

    And not much more expensive IIRC... Probably similar money as the 182 if they do the 0% finance on it.

    Forgotten what my gamertag is, but I'll dig it out in a min!

    V6: Is it really worth it

    I've had my impractical car for the time being - it'd be in my dream garage no question (In liquid yellow of course!) but I don't think for 1 second in 1min35 on a track (assuming the 4second rule counts) it's worth the lack of practicality. I'd only buy it because it looks like sex on wheels -...

    Nothing! Nothing at all! Anything interesting happen around your way on a weekday night? I'm not in for any racing/chav stereo soundoffs but if you've got a couple of local sluts that need a seat she can move my gearknob for me! :cool:

    Anyone for tonight?

    Why would you buy a cup over a full fat 172?

    My sister has both of those, and still manages to reverse into walls. So while I don't want to disappoint you, don't count on it! :dapprove: Seen a good 'Straight over the roundabout' by a woman as well, literally through the sign on the roundabout (fortunately between the posts!) and came...

    More excuse to get the BTB! Ta muchly.

    Why would you buy a cup over a full fat 172?

    You've got to put up with me for a while yet, I'm still in the middle of deals with a couple of people. If you'd rather I wasn't here, you have an option you know. Don't reply.
