    Who likes the 200 now?

    Hahaha! Been raiding the Reno Marketing archives, have we? All that's missing is the Reno diamond on the front. ;) D.

    What Engine do we think this is?

    Ah, nice one. I bet that bloody thing shifts then! :cool: D.

    What Engine do we think this is?

    Is there any benefit to having a narrow V setup? Is it purely to shrink the length of the engine, slightly - nothing more? D.

    Who likes the 200 now?

    Nope. It looks like an...... ....only more yellow. ;) Nothing like a VXR? Are you blind? Hmmmm - acres of difference there. They've even tried one-up-manship and made the oval pipe just that bit bigger. Oh, and in the middle too. The rear screen looks much better on the...

    Who likes the 200 now?

    They are growing on me. And as I've said before, I'd strangely want one a whole lot more than a 197. The LY 200 at Chatsworth looked great in the flesh. Really liking the exhausts and the front doesn't bother me at all. I still don't think it wouldn't be that much of an improvement over the...

    Telecoms specialists - DDI & MSN question

    Chaps, Can DDIs and MSNs co-exist on an ISDN2e circuit at the same time? Or does it have to be one or the other? Currently got 2x ISDN2e's setup with ten MSNs each for faxing. But we're after pointing some DDIs at the ISDNs and wanted to know if its possible? I'm sure when these lines first...

    What Engine do we think this is?

    Impressive plumbing on that! Is that in a Mk.1 Golf, too? D.

    car feels like new

    Ouch! Every 6k on mine since new. A bit OTT, but worth it, imo. Definitely change the oil. I've had mine done at 36k, 48k and probably will at 60k too. The 36k change made the 'box far more supple and smooth, imo. Plus the idea of minute shavings floating around the box since new, didn't help! D.

    Couple of Man's Cups near Glossop, yesterday

    On the way back from Chatsworth. I let onto one pulling up at a junction - very last second though and another was sat in traffic and gave us a flash and wave. Naturally we both let on. :cool: Also had a '05 silver 182 go past on the opposite side to us - on Mottram Moor (A57). Anyone? D.

    Time for a new rig!

    Mike, how's this perform on your current setup, let alone the new kit list? I'd heard that it was very demanding on hardware, even with the acceleration add-on? D.

    AMD Fanboys

    Nope. But my AMD X2 6400+ Black Edition, pwns all*. (* - a statement that isn't exactly true. ;)) D.

    Chatsworth Rally 2009 - a few pics

    Love the Audi shots, Chris! I forgot to add the new RS 200 pic as well - doh! ;) D.

    Chatsworth Rally 2009 - a few pics

    I bet it's a bugger to tune up right, though! D.

    Chatsworth Rally 2009 - a few pics

    Aside from the rain, it was a great day. Last year (as you know!) was absolutely baking. It did seem a lot better laid out and there were a lot more toilets/food places knocking about. I remember last year walking fecking ages to the other end of the course, when I needed a pee - lol! D.

    Time for a new rig!

    Nice to see the priority item sat at the top of the list, Mike. ;) Great case there, too. If I ever get limited/bored by the Antec offerings, Lian Li is the way I'll be heading. D.

    Chatsworth Rally 2009 - a few pics

    Great day today - just a shame that the rain kind of ruined the fun mid afternoon. The pics never do the cars any justice. I think next year I'll simply take an MP3 recorder and record these things going at full chat! The cars look good. But they sound ever better. :approve: Piccies.... One...

    best audi tt ever!

    More original than the mainstream TT. Least you won't see one every 10 yards. I'd have it. :) D.

    DIRT + G25 = Win

    I can't tell what that game is? Is it running on a PS3 or PC? I'd say it might be a PC with it having triple screen, what with Matrox cards supporting 3-screens a fair bit. Doesn't look like any PC racing game that I know of, though. LFS, maybe? :) D.

    Forza 3

    Probably not. But so long as its better than GT4, then I'll be happy. Went on it with my nephew again last week and was utterly bored within a few minutes. Pinball-barriers and no gradual feed-in of the controls in anyway. Then again, I was using a pad. ;) Us PC-monkeys are crying out for a...

    Home Servers - New System Wanted

    Sounds good, Mick - certainly for the price! W2008 x64 is a great O/S. Took us about 5 mins to decide that the trial was good enough and to buy it. :) D.

    Forza 3

    Let's hope so. I wouldn't mind giving this a bash, even though I am console-less - lol! D.

    Handling and feel, Royston - far more important! Graphics will always be secondary... D.

    Photoshoot - Alfa 147GTA

    Don't doubt yourself with the pics - you might be bang on for the type of pic(s) they are after. Also, it might not be a current model, but they could do some form of historical portfolio/reference section on their website for previous models? Personally, if I had taken those pics, I'd fire...

    Forza 3

    Is there any news on the 360 being able to use the G25? Looks pretty good from the clip! D.

    clio 182 mud flaps

    :slap: - so clearly uneducated. Granted, barn-doors for flaps look stupid, but proper flappage suits most cars. Flaps only the reserve of rally cars? Next you'll be saying spoilers should only exist on F1 cars. ;) D.

    Photoshoot - Alfa 147GTA

    Very good pics of a very desirable motor. Have you thought of flogging any to Alfa directly for marketing? ;) D.

    Home Servers - New System Wanted

    I'd probably be looking at a micro-ATX setup, with decent RAID features as my first port of call, rather than a Drobo. Having said that, a Drobo would probably look better! As Mike says (and it's replicated here at work on a bigger scale) - the CPUs generally have little to on a daily basis...

    Longer VGA cable from card? Inc. pics

    Going to check Maplins later, I think. It does have DVI and HDMI on the back also. It is small form factor, and we're after connecting a monitor via VGA and another via DVI. Works fine if the VGA plate just flaps about outside of the case. ;) D.

    182 cambelt dilema.

    Stick with the arctic blue, imo. Black gold is a s**t colour to keep clean. Mine looked better than Jain's arctic when she had it, but that was after several hours of additional effort on mine. The arctic just needs a good wash to look good! D.

    Longer VGA cable from card? Inc. pics

    Chaps, I haven't looked properly as of yet, but any suggestions where I can get a longer VGA cable/faceplate as seen in the attached? It's fitted to an ATi 4550 card, but with the mobo layout of the PC it's going into (SFF as an additional concern) - the VGA cable simply isn't long enough...
