Glad I wasn't the only one who found the controls a bit weird. Not tried it since the update, so will give the wheel another bash with it at some point.

Washed it - for the first time this year. It desperately needed it.

That's the main reason why I stagger my phone purchases - for longer periods now that what I used to. Back in the day, the tech was old within a month, but now they are getting to the point that you have to justify it hard to yourself to make the step-up worthwhile. After twelve years of...

Just 8 stages I think? The Stratos type car was the best for me overall.

Nabbed two of the three achievements in the demo, the 2nd being tougher. The last one to do all stages under 7mins must take some doing. I'm nowhere near that.

Had to hold the C button (?) at the start of each race to zoom out as far as the game would let me. Definitely revolves around learning the upcoming corners, ideally without looking at the mini map. I have found some yellow rated corners to be just as harsh as red ones, imo.

Noticed the demo for Super Woden 2 was on Steam last night. It's pretty good!

I don't know why, but I just cannot get the flow right with rally games and using a wheel and pedals setup. It's like there's too much delay on the inputs, then completely the opposite where it's hyper sensitive and you seemingly can't even drive in a straight line. I always do much better with...

As the guys (@Martin_172 & @Mr Trailer Man) above mention - I'll guarantee that you'll have packed dirt/mud behind the arch liner. Here's what was behind mine when I took them off in August '24. Be careful not to damage the arch liners taking them out also - they are like hen's teeth to...

Must be impressive to know that your car is 1 of only 2 in the country. I tend to think that my 'most-common-colour' 182 is a rare sight on the roads, but this is on another level.

Never really got on with the follow up - Chaos Strikes Back. I felt that they made it too difficult for its own good.

DM was phenomenal for its time. I remember reading the reviews about it at school at the unique gameplay that it brought. I also recall being envious of the Atari ST owners who could run it immediately, yet the Amiga A500 people (like me) needed the additional 512k addon memory card.

Tried the (very) short Underkeep demo on Steam and I really liked it. Proper nostalgic 2D dungeon crawler - it even references the 'worm round' food from FTL's classic Dungeon Master. In these days where everything has to have a back story and chapters of lore with it - to create a party and...

Went for the knock-off 8Nm boost kit over the 5Nm default Fanatec offering. Half the price of the official item, but it works well. Glad I bought it. https://amzn.eu/d/0eMrtD0r

Had Brembo discs up front on my last overhaul. Standard OEM ones on the rear. Found that the Brembos tend not to get much in the way of surface rust when the car has been parked after rain also.

Had a few delivery drivers ask about mine as it's parked on the drive, next to the front door. While I like people asking questions about it, there is that glint of paranoia about it. They are 99% most likely genuinely interested in it. It's the remaining 1% that you don't know about.

True. That Fiesta couldn't have been worth sod all though - strange that it would even be targeted. Unless is was pure opportunity. It's like the modern cars that all have their wing mirrors folding. Any scroat can visually scan a car park and see which one is unlocked. They might not have the...

As always - very impressive stuff that my brain would probably comprehend 1% of!

12-year-old Fiesta with 100k on the clock getting stolen. Seemingly any 'ol s**t is still fair game. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yp08kmk4eo

Do you have one of those protective covers on the wheel underneath as well?

I know. And I've never had any issues with mine at all. I just don't know why this has crossed my mind recently.

Thanks all - Disklok it is then. Do they do one big enough for the truck-sized steering wheel in the Clio? ;) I've always had that inverse view that being seen to 'overly' protect your car, might attract more attention? I'll just have to get over that!

Not sure why I've been having some concerns of late - but it has crossed my mind to get some form of security deterrent for the 182 in the form of a DiskLok or similar. Just wondering what people's views and experiences are? I know full well that they won't stop someone determined - but if it...

Sounds like they have bitten off more than they can chew. And the recent reviews reflect this..... "An Update on the Future of Assetto Corsa EVO With Release 0.5, we want to take a moment to share an important update about the direction of Assetto Corsa EVO, shaped by ongoing discussion and...

Their sales support has been great too. Had a slice in the leather of the seat base underneath - so clearly not visible and it didn't really bother me. However, I contacted them and they sent me out a replacement seat base FOC - all I had to do was pay for the delivery. Did that and they...

Two years on from my last post on this thread, still using my SecretLabs chair daily.

Simple really. The thousands I've spent on mine over the years was purely to continue my enjoyment of it. I'm not owning it for any financial gain and also for the fact that the last one I saw on the road was around September last year. Given their age and what they are designed for - they are...

Don't be saying that. Mine's on its 2nd, but that must be from 10+ years ago now. Hopefully that doesn't mean a new one soon.

Yep - since December 2004. :) Still love driving the thing! All that s**t French build quality too...... ;)
