    Mini JCW

    So after a brief stint in an Audi TT RS, I decided to reduce my car running costs and find a fun car once more - while the TT was quick, it was just too serious and devoid of feedback. So this Mini turned up at the local Mini dealership, 1 owner, only 32k and well specced. After a quick test...

    Macbook pro - Yosemite issues

    I have a Haswell MBP retina - when it was running Mavericks OS X everything was smooth, snappy and quick - however, ever since i've updated to Yosemite I find that everything's so laggy, scrolling, the UI, Safari has to constantly be quit and re-opened - it's really ruining the Apple experience...

    After three RenaultSports.....

    After the R26 i'd finally had enough of french hot hatch ownership - it was never ending trouble! Been after a soft top for a few years, the choice was between S2000 and Z4 0 but the S2K had a ludicrous tax band (after 06), and insurance rates - so much so my current insurance company classed...

    Blu-ray reviews and chit chat thread.

    Thought it a good idea to post this rather than clog up the HT thread. So what have you got incoming? What have you watched recently and your review? I currently have a few to watch and am churning through The Pacific right now - very crisp transfer and hefty audio makes it a rather good...

    Gaming headsets - yes or no?

    As I won't be able to use the surround sound system much for gaming, it struck me that a decent set of hi fi headphones would suit me - but looking further it seems a set of pseudo surround headsets with chat function integrated will be my best bet. What do you guys use currently and what are...

    Panasonic VT65 - any owners on here?

    As per the title really. I'm considering purchasing the 55" version of this TV which seems to be the best panel on sale right now. Blows even the best edge lit LCD panel out of the water in terms of black levels and motion capturing - along with achieving AV forums 'reference status' Not had...

    Re-attaching rear view mirror.

    I know this is for my Megane R26 but I figured you guys would be the best to help me here. The entire rear view mirror assembly fell off yesterday when I was cleaning the glass. No biggy I thought, so applied silicone sealant (aquarium grade) and reattached the whole unit - no joy. Second...

    More a progress thread on the R26 paintwork correction. I'm taking this panel by panel due to A) Time constraints and B) Being slow. So, I started with the bonnet - rinshed, washed, rinsed, Iron X, Tardis and CYC fine clay (with LT as lube). Not much contamination left : DSC_0116 by DEAF...
