    London Meet in November?

    Saturday/Sunday evening in November? If a mod could stick a poll up with all the weekends in November in that would be fab? Meet east end (brick lane/spitalfields?) somewhere, walk down through too Southbank and end up having a pint round Westminster?

    Film Thread.

    Just restarted shooting medium format film. No point shooting less imo as its just not worth the pain over shooting digital. I've gone 6x7 which gives me a slightly rectangular image that blows up nicely to 8x10 prints. Shooting black and white and developing at home. Not done any proper...

    Why you shouldn't rate a camera on DxOMark figures.

    Seemingly the Nikon D800 demolishes the 5DIII in all areas? Well not really... DxOMark figures mean s**t. Real world application is what you should be buying cameras based upon.

    Smartphone + 12 Month Contract... Ideas?

    As above, not after a 24 month contract and ideally want a smartphone that I can ditch when the next iPhones due. Having sold my iPhone 4 for the '5' the 4S isn't the upgrade I would like. Don't get me wrong its a fantastic phone, and with the dual core A5 chip its going to fly, but I'd be...

    Turbo Doctors Escort Van...

    Most will of seen this. Musics epic, vans utterly f**king bonkers, guys hilarious and the speeds are quite frankly absurd. Tracking might be out a wee bit as well judging by the steering wheel... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6699379397179129533# 'Holy s**t this things...

    Combe Saloons.

    Always top notch racing. Ending of this is fab. Tbh I find this s**t 1000's of times more exciting than F1, but lets not get into that 'discussion'.

    Fixed back buckets...

    ...in a daily driver. Anyone done it for any length of time? I'll be ditching the rear seats from my ZR rep and running a harness bar in to the two mounts for the seatbacks. Then running the drivers harness to that, while leaving the passenger seat standard with the standard belt. Dont...

    Using an iMac as a monitor...?

    Now, eventually my i7 27'' is going become s**t. Now I'd rather not bin it/sell it for pittance as the screen on it is fantastic. Any way you can display 2560x1440 on it? I know you can input 720p onto it from a 360/PS3, but having a monitor that'll display 4x's the resolution than what your...

    External Wastegate Size?

    Not strictly clio related. But at the end of the day exhaust gasses coming out of a 2L engine are pretty much all the same. New turbo is externally wastegated. Need a suitable size for a GT35 spec turbo + nitrous. Nitrous creeps a right pain in the arse, and as such overkill ftw? Most...

    Few cars at Combe...

    Few clios, few other bits. Taken with a 7D + 70 - 200. Not sure how the qualitys turning out as I uploaded them using my iPhone as a tethering point. It destroys any image I view so they might be alright...
