LOL - good time for me to pick a reformat whilst the login server was down! I tried it three times last night - once with the CM server, but they were full and the other two times - nothing. Just a prompt saying "Contacting login server" for about 10 minutes. I gave up and had a bash on single...

I haven't too many good stories of people getting them yet? Anyone got there's up and running yet? D.

Bad sh*t m8 - so sorry for you. I've always felt that the 182 was so sure-footed - you must have hit a really bad patch of water.... :dapprove: Posted the pic as per your request..... D.

They look the bollox - really, really good. :D Not sure how long the rims would stay in A1 condition though. Definite Kerb-Fodder! :eek: D.

Which way did you come from HB? Down through Tod and past Walsden? Or did you go the LONG way round? Good pics, btw! D.

Hollingworth Lake? You're not too far from me m8 :) D.

Wonder how many kids are going to be pissed off come Xmas Day when mummy and daddy have bought them the shitty version? ;) D.

Dataplex did alright by us for the Birmingham depot we setup. They are based in Eccles too - so not far away. We didn't use wireless, but Cisco is a major part of their business. Our contact was Alex Preston - 0161 7867005 - website = www.dataplex-systems.com D.

Good site Lee :) The bit with Paris Hilton was especially funny - though it could have been better. Like showing her falling off a cliff or losing and argument with a combine harvester - something useful at least! ;) D.

I just don't get it at all... Not the 360 itself, but the fact that people that will go to stupid, stupid extremes to get one. I really like gaming, ever since I got my mitts on an original Atari console in 1980 - and I'm just as eager as everyone else to see how the 360 will perform when it...

Got the ITG in already. I don't want them grit-riddled feckers washing it either.... Hadn't thought about getting the oil myself, but I'm not sure if I can be arsed.... It's an expense I could really do without at this time of year! ;) D.

Cool - sounds good to me. Have you got preferences on a server? Will you be retrying the CM server again?

I'd love to increase my BB speed. Where we are, we can't get better than 512k and don't have access to cable either.... :( D.

Any takers? Any preferences on days and times? Assuming we don't have patch problems again though....! :rasp: D.

Nope - no kerbies on mine, though I do have a little scratch when I got too close once! It's just a habit from my GT days - within a year I'd have one wheel heading north while the other went east. A check on the tracking proved it to be out, a slight change and it was railroad straight. Well...

What? Without Vaseline......... again?! What's to bet that if they did check it, that it would need adjusting regardless?! D.

Good comment there edde. The wife's 182 has been a total biatch the last couple of weeks with the bloody alarm going off at all hours. Mine's been fine though? :S D.

Mornin' all As the title really - does a check of the car's tracking come part of a 12k service, or would it be extra? Cheers, D.

I 'acquired' it some time back. Thought it was quite good at the time, though I preferred the way Brothers in Arms handled the squad control side of things. I'll probably reinstall it at some point over Christmas... D.

Similarly, I find XnView to be superb. It's a free download too - www.xnview.com D.

Woodentop - when I saw that 1st picture of yours above m8, I thought that Vee had a bloody luggage box on the roof! :D :clown: Took me a 2nd look to work out it was the car & ramp in the background.... D.

It could be argued that the battery life on solid-state would be longer too?

Console driving games are no match for a decent PC alternative, imo. Don't get me wrong, I've played Burnout on the X-Box and really liked GT4 on the PS2 - but after about an hour, I start to get bored. For all their graphical flashiness, lighting and mirror effects, they just feel 'flat'. It's...

I wish someone would release a Chav-mod for games like this. Yes, we've all seen games with the Skylines, Porsches, Ferraris, etc. How about winning a race, getting £100 and buying a fooked Nova GTE? Then tailoring it with tasteful addons like spoilers, s**t alloys and "Shazza & Wayne-o"...

PCs all the way as far as I'm concerned. Millions of utilities, programs, games, various hardware add-ons, upgrades, integrations, you name it. Consoles just make me laugh with the hype and the bell-ends that queue-up for 52 hours in order to get their mitts on one. They have their advantages...

CoD2 is ok, but it plays like a slide-show on mine. BF2 kicks arse and on lower graphical settings looks a lot better than CoD2.... D.

Its Guilbert Ratchet lads! D.

Marty - I thought you managed to get on m8? D.

Already from this end NEB :) I've asked a m8 along if we're short of numbers. He'll probably join under the name of 'Soap' or something similar. If we have space on our side, can we let him on? Cheers, D.

Commando22 - went on your server earlier on m8 - NEB was on there and (obviously) quite a few other CM guys. I must admit, so far, so good. I actually like the new maps that I've been on. I would have stayed on longer, except I had an unexpected visit from the Windows desktop. :S. Good games...
