  1. I had a quick play tonight... camera mounted on the passenger window with a suction cup. Was quite late and going dark though so forgive the lighting. Im very happy with the wide angle view... able to see out both the driver and passenger window in one shot I will rotate it a couple of degrees to the right though next time so i get a more even view. The only down side is the passenger A-pillar is right where you want to be looking at the horizon. Maybe i'll try it out on the boot window tomorrow.
  2. Ok, a crap picture, but yesterday i washed and waxed my zed with a bit of Dodo Juice Purple Haze... picture doesnt do it any justice, but hey.
  3. Ooh i've just swung it to 3/4 view...! End the poll now!!
  4. Yep, picked mine up from the store today - very happy with it! Thanks OP! Suprised how big it is Only disappointment is how short the power lead is... i cant put it anywhere that i want.
  5. Whats that now, 5, 6 sets of rims you've had?! Looking very though
  6. I read yesterday that it's just one quick press to turn it on, and a long press to turn it off.... maybe it's turning it on and cycling though the first setting for you? Although i think mine is just the GoPro Hero HD, not the '2' so could be different.
  7. Wow... looks a lot better doesnt it. I got mine out of the box today and charged it up... and figured out how to turn it on!
  8. Cool, cheers. I'll look forward to the video. I was going to go out and try mine today, but i washed the car this morning and now it's raining Im going to try mounting mine on the passager rear-quarter window.
  9. If only the rear of those DB7's hadnt dated so badly, they would be quite tempting now. But then for that money i'd rather have the current shape XK as it's a beautiful looking car. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p
  10. Not bad... Where was it mounted, and using what? I've had my GoPro about 3 months now but not used it yet... but planning on trying it out tomorrow ahead of my track time at Japfest next week. I bought one of these converters so i can mount it to a universal screw thread camera mount, and i've got a big suction mount that i can use on the interior/exterior. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Monopod-Tripo ... 4ab63564af
  11. Not much fun stuff to do in Manny in my opinion. You could try the following: The Chill Factor: www.chillfactore.com (indoor ski slope) Go Karting: http://www.daytona.co.uk/venues/manchester/ Dont go to the science museum... its a kids day out. As for going out... you'll struggle to get in anywhere in a group... we separate into 3's when going into any clubs as you risk being turned away otherwise. This place is fairly cool, although we had to book in advance last time we went... you pour your own beer from the taps on your table, and pay by the ml i think... a bit of a fun novelty. http://tapsbar.co.uk/
  12. Just reduce the contrast of the selected area and it will go blacker...
  13. Ordered. Although with things like this, the store usually realise and we'll get an email telling us they're out of stock. Worth a punt though.
  14. Hi guys... Im sorry to post this but google's annoying me now! I've got Virgin Media broadband, and have my own wireless router plugged into the virgin cable modem. I've had this setup for approx 5 years and it's never once missed a beat. Woke up this morrning to find i couldnt access the internet on any devices (iphone, ipad, 2x laptops). Reset both my router and modem several times but still no joy. However, plugging my cable modem directly into my laptop works. I get the internet back - therefore that must mean the problem is the wireless router, surely? However, what i dont understand is that i can still connect to the wireless router via Wifi - my local network works perfectly, its just it wont give me access to the internet I called Virgin media and they reckon there is some kind of conflicting signal coming from my router stopping things from working, but the guy was just trying to get my off the phone. Never heard of this before... any weight to it? My main concern though is that yesterday it was working fine, and today its not, and that my router appears to work still as far as the LAN is concerned - so i dont want to go out and spend £30-40 on a new router when thats not actually the problem. ...and google's been no help as i cant explain the context of my problem when searching... there are lots of 'connected to wifi but no internet' threads, but all with different context. Cheers...
  15. Ahh, with you... i'll keep my eye out for a separate letter then... cheers!
  16. Just received mine - thanks Martin. However - please can you confirm what the contents of the envelope should have been? I've got 4x pages of track-time related info 1x pink Pit Lane pass for track session B4 1x colour car pass that states Gate A area TT (Track time). On the back of this it says 'This pass is not a ticket, entry with appropriate tickets only'. I dont have a ticket... should i have had? Cheers Chris.
  17. Would like to see them on an azure. EDIT - meant to reply to your wheel thread, not this

    6K HID's

    Sorry, only just seen this. I've had no problems with them so far, but then to be honest i rarely drive anywhere where i dont know where im going, and im hardly every out in the dark anyway so its not a problem for me. But to answer your question, i would say they're only a tiny bit dimmer than regular bulbs... certainly not so dim that it affects your driving style.
  19. I was about to say, visit Beavis! Alternatively there'a a Makro on the A34 if you've got a card, or there is: http://www.buffet-island.com/newcastle.aspx
  20. Despite the fact that you'd just never ever own something like that - it looks really good quality! I tell you waht though, aston's are getting so common now... i've seen 3 today just on my journey to work.
  21. Welcome mate. We often have meets at the Krispy Kreme near the Trafford Center, you'll have to get yourself along if you're not too far away. We've not had one this year yet though
  22. Welcome mate... looking very good. Have you done the work yourself? A build thread would be good if you have progress pics. Nice Volks by the way...
