  1. Does it take travelling to a different level e.g normally you just go to a b&b or a hotel. Do you have more fun in this? Does it work out cheaper including the fuel costs?

    Its all a compromise really. Not as nice as the hotels we usually frequent and probably about the same price in real terms once you factor everything in, but for the sheer enjoyment you cant beat it. We can pack it up Thursday night, ready to head off on a Friday as soon as we get home, be in Wales/Lakes/where ever in a few ours and be nice and comfy set up in minutes (level up van, swivel the passenger seat and plug in and we're done!). Sooo much easier than camping but with all the freedom and accessibly that comes with it. So pro's and con's really, but overall, I'd say well worth it. And of course you can rock up to nice little spots like we did at the weekend, chill out, have a BBQ, watch the world go by and be in comfort all the time.

     

    Just finished writing my letter for the DVLA to get it reclassified from Panel Van to Motor Caravan. Should mean cheaper insurance and faster speeds on the road (panel vans are limited except on motorways). Hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll have a new V5C in the post :yahoo:

  2. The next step up from 1080p, basically. Super hi-def stuff that no-one really makes anything for at the moment, but it may become the new standard once the market is completely saturated with normal HD equipment.

     

    Y'know, just to make us all get our wallets out again! :lol:

    Loads of films have been shot in this for the past few years. TVs are starting to appear, but the biggest blocker to it will be how you can broadcast it. Standard TV delivery systems just simply wont handle it, unless you drop all the dross channels and keep the first 5 only :lol:

     

    I would question the use of 4K atm, your standard amateur user wont be able to edit and process it too easily. But would be good if you have loads of spare HDD space to keep it for processing in years to come when computers become faster and it gets easier.

     

    It does look awesome though B)

  3. Quick outing to Hamble yesterday as the sun was out for once and the wind was off-shore so nice and warm. Also a good excuse to try out our new Cobb BBQ.

    Interior is largely done now. Last weekend I fit the bed end panels and swivel base to the passenger seat. Just need to box in where the table is stored and tidy up the water containers as they dont currently get strapped down, and I think its done in terms of practical usage things.

  4. See if you'd just been around on the forum more matey, you could have had mine for that budget. Still not sure I'd want you calling me as soon as anything went wrong :lol::p

     

    Your budged looks realistic to me, just need to find one for sale. Not sure what mine went for in the end from the dealer, but private sale, it would certainly be within budget.

     

  5. If you are all spamming to get the 1m post, we've already passed it and deleted it :p:lol:

     

    Who needs a reason :p

    True. Still I'm impressed the forum hasnt crashed yet :lol:

     

    Is that a challenge ;)

    Not with your background. Unless you want all your cards with a little V sign on them to stop working as long as the forum is down too ;)

  6. Hi Guys, thanks for the replies, I have sorted it. I had highlighted a choice under speed camera warnings, cant remember how it was worded but something like (on chosen routes), I have now turned this off and my warnings work again :blush:

    That seems to ring a bell. I think you can have it set to tell you about them all the time, or only on the route you currently have set (when its set).

     

    All sorted now, so thats good :thumbs:

  7. Actually, it wasnt me - I was late by two posts... The honours go to Chris'I here:

    The post is actually number 1,000,926 - however, with a total of 926 posts hard deleted over the years, this makes it the 1,000,000th post.. :)

     

    As he posted me does that make be best supporting poster :teeth:

    Yes, you get a prize at Wales - you can wash the bus :lol:

     

    Told you all the post had come and gone, we'd deleted it ages ago!

     

    Still we can stop the spam now huh? ;)

     

    And I believe I get to ban one member of my choice as my prize, hmmmmmm......

  8. Dave you're only writing stuff in the hope of being the 1mill post. And I'm not a typical Audi driver......... For a start they are too busy driving near to other bumpers, they would never have the time to date as many women as me........................................................... or marry them ;)

     

    Hmmm maybe you are the exception.....

    Never, eventually the Audi Borg will assimilate him :lol:

  9. :welcome:

     

    A Zed aint nothing a good driver cant handle, male or female. My wife drove both the 350z and 370z just fine, not problems, except the clutch in the 350z taking some getting used to as its quite heavy. In fact she lapped the Evo triangle in the wet quicker than the lads did it the next day in the dry on our club outting in Wales :drive1:

    Good on you for taking it on the chin Will. Sure TGM will have her back in tip-top condition soon. If you find you need a lift to/from Fleet station and its during work hours, let me know and I'll get Amanda to give you a lift, she's just down the road opposite the train station :thumbs:

     

    Sorry to hear that Will...Just mindless f***ck wits..!!
