    Am i too old????? Newbie

    ^^^^ - you have my respect already! :) Good choice of motor. I think the RS Clios have a great mix of daily usage mixed with pace and handling. Enjoy! D.

    Todays V6 meet

    Yey! I made the last pic! :) Loving the top pic Chris - almost calendar material! D.

    the v6 lot

    Good pics as ever, there Chris! :) Said to Jain just now, when me and her were on the A6 heading back and I saw a set of xenons in the distance behind me. Glanced back again and couldn't make out the car from the glare of the lights, then before I knew it, you were behind us! Is the acid...

    the v6 lot

    Hallo! Aye, it was us - me up front in the sole 182 having to hold back and let the V6 mob catch up - lol! Is that a non-standard bumper on the rear? Looked different when I glanced back... D.

    Cliosport 'RIG' Picture Thread

    PMSL! I know what you mean. Aside from being bloody heavy, my Antec case 'just' fits into the boot of the 182 when lying down. D.

    Cliosport 'RIG' Picture Thread

    ^^^^ - nice case, m8. We bought a batch of those for our sister company next door and they are still going strong a few years later. Very solid and easy to work on. :approve: D.

    Cliosport 'RIG' Picture Thread

    Need to take some crap out of it, like the 3.5" floppy drive! :) I should swap the Akasa 'wind tunnel' fans pointing at the gfx cards to some Antec units. Won't make any difference, but I'll know I've got Antec fans in an Antec case - lol! D.

    Oy! Have you nicked half my stuff, sunshine?! ;) Taken last year, so the pics are a bit out of date... Arse-end view.... Spec at the mo:- Asus M2N32-SLi motherboard AMD X2 AM2-6400 Black Edition 4GB OCZ Spec-Ops PC2-6400 memory 2x nVidia 7900GTX's SoundBlaster X-Fi...

    Should I get a Mac?

    I think of your requirements above, the Mac would be spot on. And if your brother is happy to do the donkey-work and pick one up for you - why the hell not! :cool: D.

    Powerbook G4 - dead?

    Not having much luck here, fellas. I'm suspecting that sn00p's suggestion of the hard drive being shot is the main culprit. Are they standard items on the Powerbooks or Mac specific? I could really do with finding the original CDs too. Its not our laptop, so I'll have to chase the owner for...

    Clio 197 or a Corsa VXR

    I think for everyday purposes - the 197 would be the better option. The whizz-BANG approach of that small 1.6 tubby of the VXR might not be for you. If the decision was mine - I'd go for the Corsa. Simply because I think it looks better and you've always got that Hooligan Pedal under your...

    Powerbook G4 - dead?

    If a Powerbook that's been sat on a shelf for months, decides to simply display an Apple logo in the middle of the screen - does that mean its funcked? It does the start-up 'DONG' noise and then a few seconds later, just puts up the Apple logo. No spinning progress icon or anything. Are there...

    New toys - PC Upgrade time

    Sounds good so far, Lee. And don't bin the old stuff - kit like that would still have plenty of uses. :) D.

    Next gen consoles - return to cartridges?

    ^^^^ - good point, Henry. And there would be no way that releasing the latest films on cartridges would be cost effective. Then again, the price and capacity of camera memory cards are cheap these days. Imagine getting high quality DVD releases on something the size of a micro-SD card! D.

    Next gen consoles - return to cartridges?

    Just a discussion header, really. Do you think consoles would ever go full circle and revert back to the cartridge days of old? Removing the cost of cartridge manufacturing out of the equation, I think there would be several benefits.... Fewer moving parts - possible decrease in size of the...

    '04 Black Gold 182 - with modded zorst - Bury

    Gave you a bib at the Junction 2 roundabout (Heap Bridge). The exhaust not only sounded good, but it really did look the part. Looked v.shiny too - just had it fitted? :cool: Hopefully you're on here so you tell me which exhaust it was! :) D.

    Anyone still on 56k?

    Lol! I remember paying Netcom UK £29.99 per month unlimited access on dial-up on my 28k modem. I then had the BT call charge on top of that. I wanted to push for a 36k modem, but they were circa £110 at the time. How things change! D.

    Sky digibox help, pweeese!

    Thanks for the offer Dan. :) I think it must be the LNB that's causing the issue. I've unplugged the DECT phone as Griff mentioned and did the reset procedure that Rich told me - but it still causes the same problem. Unfortunately, the dish in on the chimney - on next door's roof! Sounds like...

    IT in 10 Years

    Capacities of solid state disks going through the roof and in turn, prices coming down. Superb PDA abilities on a watch-like device. Most people having the ability to glow in the dark having been surround by wireless kit for decades. ;) D.

    Linux - somebody, somewhere is having a joke!

    Did they purposely go out of their way to make Linux as weird and as unfriendly to use as possible? Did they have a global meeting and discuss "1,052 ways to infuriate someone who is used to the Windows environment"? I can't believe the most basic operations and uses either just draw a...

    Rare evo 6

    Not really - for an 8 year old car. The mileage maybe recorded in kms as well? Though that's unlikely if its a true UK-spec car. D.

    Rare evo 6

    I don't think it's the bodykit as such that's the 'issue' - rather the colour of it... Still looks amazing though - and the people in 'the know', would actually 'know' what it is was - lol! D.

    Rare evo 6

    "What's that Mr. Wallet? You want jump into that fiery burning hell of debt and suicidal expense on a certain motor vehicle?" "Naughty wallet. Get back in the drawer...." ;) Porntastic. D.

    Overclocked, but is it running too hot??

    I wouldn't worry about those temps if its under load. And lets face it, your Intel CPU would handle heat build-up much better than my AMD! :) D.

    Sky digibox help, pweeese!

    Well, I had some success - sort of. The phone socket is very near to the TV, and the wires were bit a of a mess tbh. Sorted them out and low-and-behold, the channels were alright. Stayed the same all night last night. Tried it again this morning (sure fire winner to feck up - Discovery on 520)...
