    Clean Vee!

    Had the wheels refurbished last week and this morning the car was looking trashed (yes, it gets driven - hard!) so set about it. Usual 2BM, Dodo Supernatural, Bilberry, i4d big fluffy yellow drying thing - nothing special, but I thought it was looking ace!

    Zircotec Coating - What Colour?

    For everything - starting with the backbox (and maybe collector) next week, to the rest of the system at the start of next year. This on on the Vee BTW. http://www.zircotec.com/page/-_performance_colours/47 My thoughts are the metallic black?

    NG05 WPE - Birmingham

    When you've finished overtaking someone, move the f*ck over afterwards. Clownshoes like you are the reason my journey to work is s**t!

    Liquid Yellow Non-sport(?!) - Warwick 1815 Today

    Good evening. You do know that it wasn't foggy, don't you? Clownshoe.

    T*PHY - Warwick, Castle Bridge - 5pm

    Spotted a Trophy on a private plate, just coming up to Castle Bridge at 5pm in Warwick. Simples, really!

    Detailed the Vee - Picture Heavy!

    What a hard day! Jesus I'm aching... Russ was going to be coming over to do the car today, but due to unforseen circumstances wasn't able to attend - so rather than waste the weather I thought I'd have a pop at the car myself. Wheels were done with Bilberry at 10:1, and the car was washed...

    My postman brought me this!

    Well, Boosh can't have all the glory! That took all of 24 hours to order after buying the car, and 24 hours to deliver! And two pictures of the car since I've taken ownership: Cos Ali's been hassling me!

    Trophy - 08:10 Birmingham Summer Hill Road

    Spied this morning, turning left onto Summer Hill Road at that godawful roundabout that nobody seems to be able to use. Didn't even notice me, I suppose!

    V6 as an every-other-day driver.

    Morning! Question - could you use a V6 as a main car? Ok, it's not particularly economical, but could you use it to go to work and back in? It's a Renault, so it'll break down every once in a while, I know, but is it any worse than any other Renault other than servicing/maintenance costs?

    [PC] HDD Disk-to-Disk Copy Race

    Right all, A while ago we had a brief HDD benchmark in one of my threads (I think) - now it's time to get the disk-to-disk copy races going! Any type of disk is fine, but the rules are one array or disk to another array or disk. No partition-style multiple disks! Benches need to be...

    2008 Lotus Exige S - 2 months on

    Well it's been nearly 2 months now, and it's flown by. Not been the smoothest ride - it needed a new radiator a few weeks ago after the end cap let go, and with the arrival of the Trophy I've now got 3 money pits so progress is slow! However, my new seats have arrived and I <3 them - don't...

    Disparate WAN Help!

    Right, this is for the uber-techies. We've got a load of offices, of which this refers to three: The offices are all connected to the datacentre via MPLS. This is not fully routed, and won't be. Ever. I can't change that. The offices all have their own breakout, and these three offices in...

    Clio Trophy No.162/500 - Restoration

    More of a mini-project than a full on project, but there's a long story behind it and a load of little jobs to do so aim to make this a bit of a help for people wanting to know about a few little bits and bobs that I come across, and more than anything to document the car's progress. We came...

    Broken 172 - Nr Shipston on Stour

    All I can say is it looked pretty bad for the other car - not sure on details although initial suspicions are that the Pug turned in front of the 172...

    iPhone Games for when you're having a poo!

    All, The apps thread is all good and well, but I figure it would be worth posting a thread for games to play whilst having a poo. I'll start: Flight Control Rope'n'Fly Anyone else with some cheap/free poo-time games?

    Oh Hai.

    Hai! Wasn't impressed - very disconnected from what's actually happening making it very difficult to judge entry speeds and line. Relaxing apparently!

    I Hate HP

    For their utter f**kup with the iLO 2 Management Controller driver (v1.9.0.0). b*****ds. c**ks. tw*ts. And their 'fix' doesn't even make it reboot any faster! Prey to god that it fixes the bloody random restarts, or I'll go and buy an IBM server instead. Pillocks. Can I kill DK?

    AMD Fanboys

    AMD fanboys, Do any of you have any idea if there's anything on offer in the mid-term future to try and stop the Nehalem rampage that currently is? Ta.

    Time for a new rig!

    Mine's started misbehaving, and I've been toying with the idea for a while just didn't want to unless I really had to... Well, it's now taking 5-6 boots to get into the 6th fresh rebuild of Vista, and I'm running stock settings. I may try getting rid of the SAS drives, but TBH I don't see it...

    Virtual Test Environment Help

    Right guys, my brain is frazzled and I haven't the foggiest how to accomplish this. Also not sure that this falls under 'PC and PC Gaming' - I don't think these are particularly 'personal' computers! Lol! I have: £20,000 budget 2x HP ProLiant DL380 G5s, with dual E5345 processors and 4GB...

    Bloody Exchange Server

    Why won't it reboot? I told it to 40 minutes ago now, I CBA with it breaking on me! Argh! :mad:

    VW Golf GTI Pirelli Edition

    All, Just a quick one, showing off the final work on the new motor. Took delivery of it 2 weeks ago but with starting a new job and my dog going off I didn't get chance to give it the once over. The motor is a 2008 '58 Pirelli Edition Golf GTI, with DSG gearbox. Not much in the way of...

    To SLI GTX 295s or not to SLI GTX 295s

    What do people reckon? Do it? Or wait for games that can challenge just one of them and then buy it's replacement? Will be running a 27" Dell monitor at 1920x1200... Then when I get the new gaff it'll be running a 1080p projector, so AA/AF will need to be up to scratch.

    Server Rooms

    Yay! Mine's filling up with water! Have fun, I may speak to you all later! Lol! :D

    One thing I'll miss when I leave...

    100meg internet with a hole in the firewall. :dapprove: Dunno what I'm gonna find at the new gaff!

    Dell Laptop Problem #2

    Ouch! Just slapped myself in the nuts when I sat down with a laptop... Dell Latitude ATG D620, with the 9-cell battery on the front and the D-bay battery... They're not light... Although my head is now! :dead:

    Samsung NP-NC10 - First Impressions

    Well, absolutely astounded by it! It's an impressive spec for the money (£250+VAT): Intel Atom N270 (1.6GHz) Intel 945 chipset (needs replacing, but hey - still works) 160GB Hard Drive (Regular 2.5" SATA) 1x DDR2 DIMM (1GB Standard) Bluetooth Atheros WiFi 10.2" 1024x600 Widescreen So far...

    Clio II Dynamique 1.5dCi Power!

    Yeah! First time I've posted pics of the little monster - well impressed with it TBH - £35 a year tax, £25 a corner tyres, 65mpg all day long... Far cry away from £200 a weekend in the S2! It handles brilliantly, and does what it says on the tin! Miss Air Conditioning I guess, but that's it!
