  1. Please no pics Finishing touches just being made to your birthday tea
  2. Yep very true, my big old barge can keep up with most Zeds unless it gets very twisty
  3. Damn!!! I think it really depends on the car. For me it's purely based on the feel good factor, power isn't as relevant when you're in 0-60 under 6/7 seconds as at the end of the day it is irrelevant on the road Very very true, as you say in real world driving, not driving like a total knob there is not much point in having silly amounts of power. My next Jaaaag will hopefully have 500bhp+ but I doubt very much I will drive it any faster than my current one
  4. Each to their own though! Of course, I very nearly bought one despite the rear so that says it all really... The GT really is nice
  5. I got my son a flat piece of cardboard for Christmas, he has been going on about wanting it for months, no idea what he wants with an ex-box though
  6. A few years back Paul McCartney bought his wife Heather a new artificial leg for Christmas. It wasn’t her main present, it was just a stocking filler.
  7. My best Christmas cracker joke was about 20 years ago when my son was little, I photocopied a £50 note about 10 times and put it in his cracker And yes I know it was technically counterfeiting and luckily he didn't call child line or I could have been in trouble.... was very funny though
  8. Bob is one in a million, which is just as well all things considered as not sure the Eco system could sustain more than one appetite that big
  9. Oh Ian, a lesson learned I think, get a wireless hard drive and use Time Machine as any electronic device, PC, Mac, tablet etc etc can fail like this.... I personally would do nothing if you can, if I was closer I would swap the HD (if possible) or set it up to boot from an external drive, then hopefully we could get all the data off the drive in your machine. Most decent places, even God forbid the dreaded PCWorld should be able to retrieve everything mate so don't fret if there is anything you really don't want to loose. But please please from now on back up to Time Machine in some way even cloud and don't store pictures or files you don't want to loose on the same drive as your OS Edit - above advice very good, maybe Ady can help with another device and thunderbolt cable? He has all the tech know how and is closer to you than any of the rest of us
  10. Was going to say the same thing, stop being so precious and accept it is a 10 year old car worth a few grand, park it in the best place you can and forget about it, much more important things to worry about in life imo
  11. I got Pro Evo for PS4 and absolutely love it, yeah it's not as pretty as FIFA and they don't have the licenses for player names and kits like FIFA but for gameplay and involvement it wipes the floor with FIFA. I have had the last 2 FIFA games because Pro Evo lost its way a bit and always felt like I wasn't fully in control of the game whereas Pro Evo you can control players runs etc and scoring a goal is a very satisfying feeling rather than just learning the easy ways to score in FIFA and doing the same thing over and over again
  12. Shamefully, yes because I love my other conveyance too. She is only one horsepower, her acceleration is good but her brakes can be rubbish Sounds like you need some winter horseshoes
  13. Ian, calm down dear... hold down command + R when starting to boot into recovery.....
  14. I looked at a Roc a while back and just couldn't live with that rear, at best looks like a van, at worst
  15. Or a squatting dog dragging its arse along...
  16. That first photo was at a service station about an hour outside of Edinburgh, I couldn't believe the snow!!! Back in Brum now! I've had the car 48 hours and I've either been cleaning it, driving it or sleeping!! Nothing like that new (to you) car feeling Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. If the Zed was as unreliable as its owner it would have been lucky to do 5k not 105k
  18. Sorry to read that Dave, ...must have been awful. Thanks, was quite a few years back now, I still have some health issues due to it but I am still here
  19. Sounds ok to me too, fed up with chasing after the young ones it wears me out these days
  20. Oh just going by the fact you never turn up for any of our meets, I guessed car problems
