I'm playing this, takes me right back!!! Sonic dumps all over Mario and his dodgy tache! Absolutely loving it, so addictive.

tee arrived, it's practically a one off limited edition, I'm such a hipster Thanks!

Ooooh this is extremely interesting. Subscribed.

Anyone else use yoink on OSX? http://www.eternalstorms.at/yoink/Yoink_-_Draggings_a_drag_no_more/Yoink_-_Draggings_a_drag_no_more%21.html It pops out a little "shelf" from the side of the screen when you're dragging and dropping stuff around, so you don't need multiple windows open. You drag the item(s), the shelf appears, drop it on the shelf, go and do some stuff, then drag it off the shelf and drop it in the new location. It's not a life changer, just really, really handy. --------------------- Bit of backstory, I've been a fan since I first laid my hands on a Macintosh Classic II, back in the day. It was sooo far ahead of anything else I'd seen back then. Now on a 27" iMac (late 2011) i7 @ 3.4 GHz, 16GB and modded it with an OCZ Vertex 4 512GB SSD. I love it, it's as quick today as the day I bought it and it's never so much as lost a byte of data in 3 years. I can't say that about any other computer I've owned, on top of that if I have to use Windowz for something, I've found VMWare runs Windows 7 better than most PCs I encounter in my daily working life

If you go sim only, month to month, for a while you're in a great position to either wait for the 6 (it'll be September at the latest I'd wager) or if something super exciting from another manufacturer comes along, you can dive right in. I've not changed from iOS to android but I do have a nexus 7 on the side (don't tell my ipad) and the android OS took a little getting used to, but it's not a huge leap to make if one of them takes your fancy, couple of weeks use and you'll be all over it. Not used any of the android OSs from Samsung or HTC or Sony, I imagine they're similar but with the added feature of having to wait longer for updates whilst they splash their own flavour over them and try to point you at their own content stores.

Sometimes mine go to junk mailbox.

4 seats, posh badge, plenty of leg room, nicely appointed, practical, on budget and it's got a V8. What's not to like? http://tinyurl.com/nnnjdef

Civic Type R, I got chatting to this yoof the other day and he was telling me his tuned one was quicker than a 911 so, you know with the practicality side as well, it's a no brainer. ¡Suerte!

True story, mutekis are the nutz. No more scratching the wheels when you undo them too!

Stop this at once!!! I was guaranteed to win until you started bouncing the thread all the time. Grrrrrrrrr Come to think of it, I've just bounced it myself, d'oh!

There were some real beauties on show and it's good to see a few different marques, once in a while! Thanks, I tried to keep it that way, more Button than Hamilton I had some less smooth moments earlier in the day but sadly I only had the camera out for the final session and we'd lost a few cars by that point, so the track was quite quiet. Great for trying new lines, but doesn't make for great TV. Ta. I actually think the Zed will retire from track days now and something lighter and less important (to me) will have to arrive for next time. It works for me. In my first session I had a great tussle with a Carrera 4, if it hadn't been for the chequered flag, I'd still be out there now chasing it down

Nice detail job, looks mint!

This won't win any Oscars but I'm quite pleased with it, please don't judge me too harshly, I'm only learning and the Zed is my daily, so I can't afford to push it too hard out there. Just a clean lap and brief bit of me coming up behind an E type - oh and getting passed by a caterham Edit: apologies, in my excitement I neglected to edit out a 'Category A' bad word (don't worry it wasn't a Clarkson). Clean version uploaded.

Today I've been up to Croft for my second ever track day, thank you kindly Jaaaaag owners club. It was an introductory format with four groups getting four 20 minutes stints over the day, which is perfect for my level as it stops me getting tired on track and gives the car a nice break in between sessions, as well as time to check out the stunning Jaaaags - old and new. Not much Jap action on show so The Shark got some great attention, which I was quite proud of, the kids especially seemed to like her and the sprinkling of ladies on show. I also bumped into a couple of former Zed owners (one who bought a 3250 new and only ever ran it on regular :scare: ) who were very interested to have a look at The Shark and chat about Nissan, no one had a bad word to say which is nice as there were some premium cars on show, as you'll see. Conditions were much improved over my first track day at croft, where it hammered down rain all day, so I got to learn about the Zed's dry handling today with OEM suspension components all round. Naturally, I was tentative to begin with as the surface was wet from overnight rain and you don't want to be the guy who spins out in the first session (take a bow Cayman driver!). I was really impressed by the Zed today, it felt really nice and planted and the few times i probably got a bit over confident it gently crept over the surface in a well balanced way, but did let me know that the edge of grip was fast approaching. There was none of the drifting I'd enjoyed during last weekend's stag do karting grand prix (fastest lap holder and overall winner - no big deal ), it was much more controlled and smooth than the wet track day, which was great. My proper mount for the video camera didn't arrive in time, so I had to just wedge it in the passenger sun visor then crop the video down, so it's not the greatest footage you'll see from a car, but it gives you a decent view of Croft, which is a circuit I massively enjoyed driving. It's not got a huge straight, the Zed gets up to about 95mph before Tower Bend (it's not a bend it's a bloody hairpin!), you think it is a 90 degree corner on approach but is more like 120 degrees when it creeps up on you . The Jim Clark Esses and Barcroft are high speed (not for me, but defo for good drivers!) so you can be as aggressive as you want to be and there's a bit of run off there too so you don't feel too scared as you build up your confidence. The Complex is a nightmare in the Zed, its too tight for the big heavy beast and it's somewhere in between 2nd and 3rd gear. Clervaux, at the end of the start finish, is a really great little bend as you're obviously braking in quite hard but you can carry speed if you're brave enough and it's really satisfying when you do AND avoid the gravel on the outside All in all I'd recommend Croft for track day noobs like me, it's got plenty to offer in education and the armco is a nice distance from the track! I'll let the pictures do the talking but a very broad mix of cars, with naturally a heavy Jaaaag presence. How they take some of the classics out on track I'll never know, I'm terrified in my Zed and it's worth a fraction of some of the classics that were out. Beautiful C Type Makes the Zed interior look plush! Massive Rims - I think they're about 24" Beautiful new Jaaags as well as old ones. The bonnet alone is a work of art! Cheeky bit of Fezza action too. And some muscle too in this replica Viper, Rover V8 powered! I fell in love with this little thing, it's just so cute. Loads of classics out today. As well as modern classics. To top it off, some BGW action...

Aaaaahh it's nearly born!!! Looks mean.

The way I I look at it's this .......the world is chock full of arseholes.......colour has little to do with it. In terms of what Clarkson said.......well my 54 year old absolutely non racist mother said to me the other day 'it's sort of a n***** brown colour' I nearly choked on my tea but apparently that's just what it used to be called years ago - she didn't mean anything racist by it but it blurted out non the less. Yeah, but (and I'm guessing here) your Mum isn't a world famous TV presenter with 30 years of media training?

Good price, might give it a spin.

I'm not after replacing my foam lance, as such, I'm hoping to use it as an extra jet of shampoo directly into the mitt for particularly heavily soiled areas (like bumper bugs) to add lubrication during the TBW.

Couldn't find it on the uk website, but US says $120k which seems very reasonable for a flying car http://www.flyskyrunner.com/#buy Anyone want to go 120ths on one? We'd have for 3 days each per year...

There's only one word for this, and the word is AMAZEBALLZ Sorry if re-post. I did search!

You've been busy, the tar removal looks like the world's worst job, extreme commitment. I really like the great use of the left over carbon to hide those stone chips, great thinking.

Of course (and you already know this, but we can role play ) that both context and tone are much more critical factors in the intent of the language a person uses, than the vocabulary itself. Which is why it's so tricky to have this type of discussion online, where as with a pint, face to face, I'm pretty sure we'd all be on the same page. Worked Example You come home from work and announce, "The breadwinner hast returned to the homestead. Fetch me a flagon of the frosty brew at once buxom wench, with a tray of your finest savoury treats and skimp not on the cleavage bearing". You could end up with either a cold one and some twiglets and a wry grin (on a good day) or a string of expletives and a wet head with a twiglet up your nose (on a bad one). Both would be totally reasonable responses Now in a meeting at work with an external 3rd party, if you were to say, "Be quiet dear wench, for the menfolk doth discusseth the number of guineas this here IT contract be worth, busy yourself with the tea making and biscuit wrangling". You'd be getting a P45 every time!

Desmond's was quality, I forgot about that show.
