You......... drove........... in Paris? :headno: I wouldn't drive a £100 shitbox in Gay Paree - let alone a Trophy! ;) Looks an awesome trip though, m8. How did you feel after that length of driving in the Clio? D.

Microsoft's next server release is pure 64-bit - and about bloody time too. 32-bit has served its purpose (and served it well) - but hardware had romped ahead and is still held back by archaic memory limits by filling it with 32-bit based software. I purposely installed Win7 64-bit on my works...

Gutted for you m8. :( Some mindless prick did it to mine - although on a much smaller scale by the sounds of it. Like you say, at the time you feel a mixture of anger and rage at the fact that they've gained nothing from it, yet you've now got to spend the time and money in fixing their...

We have a works depot in Aberdare and when I visit, I keep promising myself take the alternative route back north - rather than the mundane M50/M5 track! D.

I'd be VERY surprised if they got knocking on the door of £400 notes. You're venturing in PC money from then on - and given that most consolers would rather go down on their own mum than own a PC - I think MSoft would be silly to even consider it. Get Bill to subsidise the manufacturing and...

Moist. :cool: I'm the same too. I remembered as a kid thinking that if I wished hard enough, that dad would come home with a black Mk1 XR2, rather than the 1.1 Pop he had at the time. Never did happen! As gally says - the 'respect' that these cars command, I think is pretty special - assuming...

+1. Definite purchase if I won the Lottery. I don't care if they have all been sold - I WOULD find one. Anyone who fails to see the purpose, attraction and desirability with the GT3 - needs to check that they are actually still alive. D.

Today's Ultimate Paradox..... Avatar has Clio with greens on and a location of 'attention seeker' - yet you're saying that your growing out of it? ;) D.

Wow - all places within a few miles of me too. Some really good pics there! :) D.

Ah, another to the worthy cause of PCdom.... ;) D.

Epic. :) If I was on site and you turned up in that, you'd have my attention and respect straight away. I know everyone's not a petrolhead - but even 'non-believers' must appreciate the difference in a car like that turning up, compared to some anonymous box that clog our roads in their...

HDMI is digital - it either works or it doesn't. VGA however - there can be a MASSIVE difference in the quality and therefore picture clarity from the cable. I think the 360 HDMI cable I use, came from eBay at about a £5, iirc? Works absolutely fine. D.

Definitely. One of the best all-time maps, that. I SO wished they would revamp the El Alamein for BF3. Tobruk was another cracker too. D.

I know you said that you're not having a go at anyone, but why would you magically 'change' your view at 30? Would being 29 and some months make it ok? Being 'very embarrassed' about a car you currently own, once you reach a certain age seems a bit weird to me. Are you embarrassed by the 172...

So it sounds exhaust based, this issue? I presume that the car won't be running 'true' if it thinks that there is an exhaust gas issue? D.

Had the orange engine light appear on the lower right of the dash on Friday night - and stay on. It was there Saturday and also this morning on the way in to work. The car behaves fine, no other issues at all. I booked it in at the local Renault dealership just to check and typically on the way...

Yes. Windows 7 is Vista that works. D.

Imagine what minter V6's and R26.R's would fetch? ;) D.

Same here. With no kids, who the hell have I got to leave anything too? Might as well have fun while you can, eh? :) D.

Just thinking that on the labour alone! D.

Fecking awesome! You only live once..... :) D.

I really, really feel sorry for people in that situation. More often than not - they are railroaded by the company to pick one of three German badges and far more likely, the best in its class for economy and for it's trade-in value three years down the line. Over the years, I've had countless...

Is it wrong to have PMSL at that?! You have had a visit from what appears to be the most conscientious thief - clearly taking time not to damage your car and all for the sake of a £30 battery?! I'd be proper fecked off if that happened to me, but I think I'd see the funny side a while later...

I must admit, if I was 'downgrading' from the costs of owning a 197 - I would have definitely been looking at a diesel instead. Those 1.6 16v lumps have to work hard to lug that Meg's weight around. That said, best of luck with it and who knows, you might be back in with an RS at some point. :) D.

Typo?........ or not? ;) D.

Is it Railworks 3 expensive, with all the DLCs? ;) D.

I dunno. It was a good game, but it was definitely lacking in a few areas. I'm trying NOT to pin my hopes too much on ME3 when released. Deus Ex HR should have had the hold on me that ME2 did. I loved the whole story and atmosphere in that game. Deus Ex simply didn't quite get that far, imo. D.

Yes - but entry level ones and I'm not even going to bother with them after Calum's work. It would be like having a top-chef spend several hours cooking the most succulent meal - only for me to cake it with HP Sauce.... ;) Cal - if you don't mind, I'd appreciate another run through of stuff to...

Received my first official Mitsubishi parts delivery today.... :o Two small cover bolts for the grand total of £5.39. Hate to see what the prices of the really important stuff are - lol. D.

Always wanted that on DVD. Isn't it stupidly rare/expensive to buy, iirc? D.
