Didn't even know that anything had happened to it! Great news in getting it back though. Must be a great relief! D.

Liking the B&W picture at the top, Mike! :D Looks a good setup. I bet it's interesting to drive without power steering... D.

Err, not sure. I'm sure it was an X-plater. Could be wrong though. Just puzzled me as the car was mint. Surely if you drive a minter, you're clued-up to what it is/what its about? Ah well. :coffee: D.

Imo, you've made your decision right there, Deb! For me personally, I'd go for the R26. But that's mainly driven by the fact that I'm craving for a turbo again. I absolutely love the look of them in white. And even though I've never driven an R26, I would stick my neck out here and say that...

..... of course. That's why Crossfire cards took all the top 5 spots in Griff's 3DMark link then. ;) What I'm saying is that they are far from crap. Put a typical gamer in front of two identical looking PCs (one AMD, one Intel) and they would unlikely to be able to tell the difference when...

Come on Griff - that's a sweeping statement. They aren't as good as Intel, but they are far from 'crap'. D.

It's only because the AMD'ers haven't posted as much.... ;) In all seriousness though, there are some puzzling results in there - just glancing over the specs. I lost faith in 3DMark quite a while ago, tbh.... D.

.....eight cores........ FTW! :cool: D.

Looks like the front-end would be good for mowing lawns though. D.

Aye, 'tis a good one. We recently got a dual-CPU, Xeon Quad-Core server as another Citrix box. And that thing bloody flies! Mind you, I think we're going a tad off bill's original question of a recommendation for a laptop here - lol! D.

Quite a big step up from my 4800+, H. I reinstalled MoH:A again the other night and the increased smoothness was very noticable. MoH:A uses between 90% and 100% on both cores - and not a lot of games do that. However, I upped the clocks to 3.52Ghz per core (+10%) and it became a little...

AMD are cheap as chips and powerful. I currently run an AMD X2 Black Edition 6400+ which is more than capable for anything out there at the moment. Intel have the better chips at the moment and cost slightly more. More robust and arguably more 'stable' than AMDs. Quad-cores (from both...

Saw you come off the M66 slip road tonight and take a right up past the Seven Stars pub. I was about ten cars or so behind. Anyone? Just before 6pm tonight.... D.

Think that might be Phil's - he's from that neck of the woods. Not sure he's on here though - definitely on v6Clio.net though.... :) D.

Cheeky! :rasp: (I bet they are friggin easier to clean though!!!!) D.

Aye, Paul who works here has a Trophy, but his is a standard plate, H. I have seen one or two Trophies on Shadsworth in the past. Common as bloody muck, I tell thee. ;) D.

That was SO near the same car that I bought! Love that colour on the 172 and it was only the d1ckhead salesman that made me turn around and walk away. Great work on the car. Looks superb! :approve: D.

Seen it quite a few times around that area - with the plate that starts T21. Anyone off here? D.

Probably. Either that, or it was her boyfriend/husband's car? (flame suit is on! ;)) D.

Top road this afternoon - between Bury and Rochdale. Gave her a flash and a wave and got sod all back. The Ph.1 looked mint. Just a shame the driver had no manners. :clown: D.

That's easy to solve. Whack a pair of HOOOOOGE flaps behind the front wheels. They'll resemble barn-doors, drag on the floor and probably knock 20mph off your top speed. :clown: D.

Maybe..... or it might have one of those Saber dump-valve effect speaker units! In which case the owner needs to be shot. D.

What are you actually using the car for with these uprated brakes? (or have I missed what you said? :o) Brakes really are as personal in choice to that of a pint - one man's favourite brew is another one's knat's p1ss. No doubt, there are much better brake combos out there, but for me, I went...

182 Trophy - without doubt. I don't like the Mk.3 looks at all. D.

Looks good! Will you be colour coding the bumpers and side-strips? D.

.... in the car park, next to Matalan. Two spaces up from me was a '51 reg dark blue 172 and directly facing it, was a '53 plate 172 Cup. Anyone off here? :) D.

I've been over to A-U-L quite a few times in the last week or two. Probably will be doing over Xmas too - the 'rents live over there. :) D.

PMSL! That reg was MADE for you! :cool: D.

Not too sure on the triple SLi support though, Mike - they can't even get dual SLi working right with Vista! Bet that drinks a fair bit of juice under full load too. D.

Lol! Shame on you for asking....... (does it though?) :o D.
