FireFunker for me too at home. I use IE8 at work, but have Firefox there in reserve. D.

I'm with Andy on this one. Give them an inch and they will take a mile. They have no comprehension of the knock-on effects of their actions on either their own PC or the network as a whole. Wallpapers were the first to go for a start. Us IT bods can put whatever we want on ours, but we don't...

Back in the dark days of manually installing Sophos, there were random occasions when we had to disable the Windows Firewall during the procedure. Then once on, we just enabled it again. D.

Definitely check the memory. If you have more than one stick in there, take one out and try the PC again. See how it runs. Then repeat the process on the other stick. D.

Cheers for the responses, guys! I know our 1*2s aren't of Le Mans racing calibre, but I didn't want to upset the handling by fitting a narrower tyre. Looks like I might make a saving then! :) Thanks again, D.

Are they all using the same version of internet browser? D.

Is there any 'real world' difference in the way the car handles? I've seen quite a few offerings of 195 tyres that are a decent enough saving over 205s. However, I'd rather spend the extra money on the wider tyre, if the 195s are a compromise to the dynamics of a 182. Cheers, D.

Could be a whole host of reasons, m8. Have you been on v6clio.net and asked on there? Unless there's something obvious like a low pressure on one of the front tyres, I'd have a quick check at the rear. Anything that puts the rear out of sorts such as a damper that's gone or split spring will...

I'd forgot about those! I may try them if the RS2s are a no-show (sometime in my life time! ;)) Definitely m8. But no one has them in stock. :( D.

I didn't think you would have MSDN, m8? What do you do again? :) D.

Great shots. Take care of yourself out there. Anyone out there has far bigger balls than me. D.

Sorted. What's to bet that the ST owner now upgrades to an RS with the insurance pay-out? ;) D.

You have an intact steering wheel? :S Where are your bits of crumbling rubber??? :) D.

Fat fucker. The 197s still look like they have a big set of hamster chops when viewed from the rear. ;) D.

I have tried, but either I'm just unlucky picking times to go online, or is there a genuine dislike of the zombie mode on COD:WaW? The number of servers running it (that aren't password protected anyway) are so few and far between. Shame really. As I much prefer the zombie mode to going online...

Nah. You had the best OS on there in years, too! D.

Seen that one there before. What aftermarket exhaust is that? :D D.

Was that a hint of slight sarcasm, there? ;) D.

Was your email the only thing you checked over there? No online banking or anything? I wouldn't even logon to the internet in places like that, tbh. Dodgy b******s. D.

Do the 197 ones fall apart like the 182 ones? :) D.

Bugger - just read this now. Sorry m8. :( D.

Me too. If I could get a bloody set! ;) D.

See you guys broke into The Shed, again? ;) Naith - diamonds changed colour? Look good! D.

They are. The insurance companies say so. So it must be true. Fcukers. D.

It should be fine to run that. It would run at 8x AA, but I'm a speed and response freak. I'd rather have no shadows or lighting effects, if it meant that a game ran a lot more smoothly. I'm not one of those who cripples their games, just so it looks good. :) D.

A few more pics.... D.

The voice of the Trader REALLY gets on my nerves. All she is missing is a pimped out black Benzo or Beemer. Innit. :dead: I haven't a clue why developers add crap like that to a game. A bit like Hellgate London where half of the characters uttered words on par with a Cockney Teletubby. By that...

What spec is yours at the moment, m8? D.

Graphically it is better - in fact those screenshots are with a few of the high-end features like 8x AA turned down slightly. When set to 2x AA, the framerate is fine - even with loads of the b******s on screen. :) By polished, I meant as a game really. You can tell that a lot of effort went...

There's money to be had in those old Escorts though - even just the chassis! I've been to two rally events now that have adverts asking for Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts that are for sale - good money given, etc. I guess they don't even need to be a rolling chassis - it's the body itself they are probably...
