Cheers Dene...! I'll give it till the weekend and put mine on there then... its a bit of a hassle with all the fees etc.

Hi all, im offering my Sony PS3 for sale. Its in as new condition incl box - i've played it for less than 1 hour altogether! I got it the week before christmas, and watched a few blue-rays on it that i rented, but they're too expensive to buy and i cant copy them - so its no use to me! As for games, im an xbox fan and only play that - so this has sat untouched for the last 6 months! Included is 1 pad, singstar + 2 microphones, Gran Turismo 5 prologue (think thats what its called)? and Resistance: fall of man. Also, i bought an additional hdmi cable for £15. I'll sell it for £230 collected, or £250 delivered.

Ha ha... me too. Louis... cant you post up all your rolling shots? There was one of me...

The fear issue didnt bother me too much. Yes - i see what everyone is saying that the fear factor is the best thing, but as the characters have been living with many terminators for many years, they're less likely to be terrified of every single one, when they have to face them on a daily basis!

what channels it on??

I was the same as you - i got caught out against a mk2 civic type-R in a similar situation - then it dawned on me to use the tip. Sport mode - increases the auto-gear change up to the red line if you're giving it some, and also increases throttle response.

They're 6.2 zero to sixty if i remember rightly... Also, were you in sport mode or normal? And were you in tiptronic mode or normal auto?? Those 2 factors will massively affect your speed... for example in manual mode you can anticipate when you're gonna need power and drop down to 3rd or 2nd (at a roundabout for example) and then you have instant power - but in auto-mode you'd maybe lose 1 - 2 seconds as the brain decides which gear to pick. ...which is precisely the reason why i made my own paddle shifters, as manual mode is much quicker! Also dont forget that you're never gonna lose him if he wants to race... most cars will always be there or there abouts if you're on a straight road - you just might make 30 yards or so when you're both accelerating, but at 80mph, you'll both be matched obviously. Difficult to explain what i mean...

I'd buy a house with a massive garage and work on car projects...

Vulcan FTW! And yes, i saw a Chinook at southport airshow the other year... quite a haunting site!

Ha ha ha, thats cheered me up!

***All time favourite car - F40 *** But 355's still look seriously hot too... your brothers looks great

Please, when doing any kind of drilling or diy, always wear safety glasses! I was dremmel-ing something yesterday and some debris went in my eye. It hurt like hell but i couldnt see anything in it, so i got taken to hospital and it turns out i have a 'corneal ebrasion', which in english is a scratched eyeball. To make it feel better the doctor folded my eyelid inside out with a cotton bud, and then applied anesthetic directly to my eyeball with another bud. It actually wasnt that bad though! Now i've got some antibiotics to apply 4 times a day, but i cant drive for a week, and it hurts so ******* much! I've got an appointment with an eye specialist tomorrow so i'll see what they day. The annoying thing is, i was working on my DIY project all day yesterday, while wearing safety goggles for everything, but i just needed to dremmel off the top of the superglue to make the holde bigger - which would have taken just 2 seconds so i didnt put the glasses on - and thats when i get injured... go figure. Anyway, not happy today, and i've only got about 30% vision out of my left eye now.

Damn they'd go with my silver, black and red zed...! Shame im skint. ...i'll trade you them for my K1...

Yep - they look ace Mark - a big improvement.

Bimmerforums - there's a blast from the past! Thats where i cut my teeth in the car forum world, right after my first post on vwvortex with my mk3 golf, for which i got flamed to death and never went back! You should try e46fanatics.com too - thats where i went after my e36.

Hi guys, Im going to take my K1 off the car this weekend and go back to the standard exhaust. I bought it 2nd hand on here in March this year, and its probably covered around 1500 miles since then. Im selling it because i dont really like the sound of it - i think its cos my car's an auto, it sounds a bit wrong? The engine doesn't rev in the same way as a normal car, and when you hear that amplified 10x louder, it sounds a bit daft - so im going to return to stock See the thread i bought it from here. Price the same as what i paid please - £225 collected (yes it fits in the zed!). You'll have to get a quote for a courier if you want it shipped, but i can wrap it if needs be. I cant accept any lower unfortunately as im skint, and need to pay for a P3 and replace my disks and pads this next month...! It includes the rear cans and the mid-pipe NOT the Y-pipe. Pics to follow tonight. Cheers Chris.

Provided i can get my car sorted in time, i'll be doing this again... i need brakes and a service asap! When do you reckon i'll have to be booked onto it Steve, to make sure i get a place? Also, come on guys - i really recommend you do this. It doesn't seem to get much interest which is disappointing - it was seriously the best thing i've ever done, and it doesn't wear your tyres at all...! I did 70miles of drifting when i was there in April and was on track from 9am till 5pm - with barely 30seconds wait between laps.

Next...! I have the .psd (photoshop) file if you want me to email it to you... this can then be easily selected when editing.

Went to see this tonight but i was a little dubious after the last film. All i can say after watching it is WOW! Im well happy with it... Christian Bale is really good, and the story is excellent. Its definitely a fans film, rather than a cash in. If you're a fan, make time to see it.

To me this sounds more like an alarm/immobilizer issue? Immobilizer kicks in, stoping the engine from running, but all other electronics work? I've flattened my battery while parked before now while listening to the radio, and the screen goes off etc and i could restart, making me think that this isnt a battery issue.

I love Irish jokes. What happened when the irishman tried to blow up a bus? He burnt his mouth on the exhaust pipe.

Mine is a tiptronic, and thats where the sport/normal/snow mode button goes. Then i've put a similar switch to my head up display in the 2nd slot... not found anything to put in slot 3 yet

I dont know how common this would be on a zed but on my old bmw forum's we used to have hundreds of these types of posts, and 9 times out of 10 it was the bushes that needed replacing. They often look okay but when under load they give and allow the control arms to hit their housing, giving a loud clunking noise. But like i said, im not saying thats the problem - just a possibility.

Is it a constant noise - i.e. related to wheel rotation? As if it is then its not related to any loose body parts...

Ugh... im so disappointed with F1 this year... The last 2 seasons have been the most exciting in recent memory - but what the hell have they done this year? I've not even watched a single race - its not a sport anymore.
