I much prefer the 350 roadster to the 370 roadster, I just can't get on with how high the rear bonnet line appears to be in relation to the rest of the car. Each to their own though.

100/10 winning. /thread. nothing more manly than fertilizing the ladies. Congrats! In that case I'm hoping to lose this thread!

I spent most of the weekend in bed... it wasn't my bed.

Just looking at the facts and figures, the max deployment speeds for the friction, parachute and air brakes are <250, ~685 and 800mph respectively... so what slows them down from 1050 to 800mph? Is there so much resistance at that speed it will slow down quickly anyway without an actual brake? It's pretty scary that if anything goes wrong in that 250mph range then your only option to slow down is to lift off! http://www.bloodhoundssc.com/project/facts-and-figures/vehicle-technical-specification/vehicle-performance

Apart from a plastic milk bottle stuck in your grill.

Does anyone have a source or reference to this being a Labour idea? I can't find anything in Google.

FC4 is pretty good, COD I bought, played for an evening and never switched it on again... waste of money.

I went on with 20/25mm spaces and had no issues. The guide rails won't reach your alloys unless you're on super low profile tyres.

Never Winter is on XB1?? I loved the PC game when it was released years ago... don't suppose it's on PS4 also?

FTFY.

Yep! Far too long! Not many going to Wales this year either... tempted to bail out myself. Completely agree regarding the length of the circuit being prohibitive to marshaling it all, however the video above clearly shows what I mean about the spectators being between the 2 catch fences, the car didn't get past the second one so if they were were they were meant to be they'd have been relatively safe. You have to wonder how often the fences are inspected if it's that easy to get between them... but that part is obviously speculation. My brother works for Nissan so I heard about this one before it hit the press sadly.

Damn, was going to pick one of these up at some point. Oh well.

I almost bought that this weekend, but I still have a bit to do on Battlefield and Dark Souls 2 is out in two days so I decided to wait for that. The Demon's/Dark souls games were probably my favourites with maybe the exception of The Last of Us for it's story line so I'm looking forward to it, I may get bloodbourne at a later date though.

From what I read on this, the spectators regularly circumvent the outer fence to get a closer view by sitting nearer the inner catch fence. You could argue that they shouldn't have been where they were, but the probably didn't know the risk (how many on here know how a catch and outer fence should work on a circuit?). If the organisers thought that corner was a significant risk then they could have potentially avoided it with marshalls/signs/different fencing or whatever. While I'm not blaming the organisers for a freak accident, I hope they do something to improve the spectators knowledge of not being where they were in future... signs with a link to the youtube video saying sit here and get flattened maybe.

Spring Forward, Fall Back always helps me remember.

If one person broke into the technology for one plane, they could concievebly crash all the planes in the air, all at once before anyone knew it had gone turbo. I've been thinking about this, and there's no way I'd get on a plane that could be taken over from the ground, it's far too easy to hack any system, especially considering the kind of software in play will be old but trusted, not the latest patch level. However, the autopilots these days (well for the past 20+ years) are good enough to take off, fly to airport X and land itself, so what's to stop the plane saying "hey, I'm gonna hit a mountain/building in NY, let's not do that!". Sure there may be times when a plane actually needs to make an emergency landing, but a system where the pilots can only overide the autopilot's safety measures with approval/authentication from ground control could be implemented easily with no risk of being able to take over the plane from the ground. Maybe with a backup of if ground control is out of contact then both pilots must enter a personal code to overide. I'm not sure how often autopilots fail, if at all, but if that's an issue then having 3 autopilots with a matching system (pilot A & B agree, C disagrees, go with A+B ) could be an option, albeit at a cost.

Meh, they still can't find me a GTM kit.

I'm kinda after one of these, or at least I would be if I could find a bloody GTM SC kit. Anyway, the Mishmoto site states "Coupe Only", anyone got an idea why this wouldn't fit a roadster? http://www.mishimoto.co.uk/03-09-nissan-350z-03-07-infiniti-g35-coupe-oil-cooler-kit.html Haydn.

I still don't know how they won that, WebOs from Palm had that feature before Apple. I dont know the ins and outs either but did WebOs and Palm patent it? Probably, they probably had more patents than anyone else at one point. Either way prior art only has to be demonstrable I believe.

PSN Download... which took so long I probably could've just gone to the shop and bought a hard copy.

Yep, premium was £40 and the standard edition was £60. I should've realised, the but first battlefield link took me straight to the premium... I just thought it was a little cheap! I played a bit of online last night, TDM is infuriating as hell! I got spawn killed 11 times in a row!! Pressing X and dieing immediately before you can take 2 steps is my pet hate in FPSs so I hope they improve it.

Just downloading it now. Annoyingly I bought the "premium" version first... which apparently is just a season pass and doesn't include the game. Surprised it allows you to buy a season pass for a game you don't own! Oh well.

Fun, long, safe, nice pit lane, little waiting to get on track... a little flat though.
