Sooo glad i sold my 911 before this happened to me. I could feel it in my waters that i'd bought a lemon, and that this happening was only a matter of time. Glad you've got a warranty Adrian... at least that takes some of the pain away. Oddly as much as i hated owning my 911, i really want another (or a Cayman). God knows why.

LOMOTO... Thats Tim's old car! Nice!

I'm planning on getting some second hand kitchen units and worktop to kit out my garage... and use as a workbench etc.

Really like that.

Yeah a low battery can cause some odd electrical gremlins.

I went last year for the first time and it was spectacular. I'm waiting to find out if i can get hold of some complimentary tickets again this year before i know whether im going again.

They never managed to recapture the magic of the Underground games. They were epic.

Great idea for a thread. Im a couple of months away from moving house to a place with a double garage. I've got big plans for it. For now i've just got my single garage, which has never had a car in it but i spend a lot of time there...

Just buy a second hand set and then re-sell them. Shouldnt lose any value... except for postage maybe.

No not jealous at all. It just seems that all of your posts that I read are about how you have a little dilemma that's being caused by all the money you've got. Ok, I have never said this before because I don't think a public forum is the right place to discuss it but I have a lot of serious health issues - that is why I am not currently working - and I try to keep the forum discussions to nicer topics to be honest. If you don't like it I am sorry but I don't really owe you an explanation and am happy for you to continue with your life whilst I continue with mine. Take care and be happy

I'm married mate. She goes to bed at 9.30pm and after that i've got the TV to myself!

Okay, couldnt wait. Man this thing is cool.

My Thrustmaster TX has just arrived today. I've just had a quick 2 minute go to check that it works, and it feels brilliant already. Word of warning for anyone else who buys from the link i put up - it comes with a foreign plug only (i'm guessing european), but luckily i had a travel adapter and it worked fine. I'll mount it on my racing rig after work tonight and put some pics up!

I feel like im going to be well behind the curve in terms of skill by the time i start playing properly. I've taken the decision not to play anymore until my wheel arrives. I've not even started on the career yet, I only played the single race mode since i got it. Wheel should be here this week though - i had an email yesterday saying it's been exported from the depot in Dublin!

I'll ask and let you know.

Yes just EMS for now as far as i know. Free postage on everything - i know his initial strategy is to beat competitors on price so hopefully the combined effect is that he's cheaper overall!

I wouldn't consider myself a smoker, but i've always had the odd cigar when the mood takes me. I'm on a bit of a journey trying to try as many brands as possible. The best i've found to date (which was a gift from the USA) has been a Gurkha Beast! I recently got my own humidor and have got a few choice cigars in there at the moment. I've just had a Dunhill Aged this evening, with a glass of Port* (*several glasses) Whilst i'm very much an amateur on the scene, my brother is trying to make a career out of cigars! He's been a big fan for a long time, and he's in the process of opening up a website for cigar sales. I've helped him out a little with the site, but his long term goal is to be able to quit work and open up a cigar shop! If anybody is a fan, please take a look. It's still a work in progress, but he is open for business. http://www.mcdonaldcigars.co.uk/

Im getting an odd sound glitch quite often (every race). The engine sounds get quite badly distorted for about 15 seconds. Other than that i've not had too many other issues.

Well i lasted almost 14 hours but i have caved already and just ordered a Thrustmaster TX...! Best price i could find anywhere by a country mile - £225 delivered. The order has gone through but i wouldnt be surprised if it gets cancelled at their end. https://www.gamestop.co.uk/Xbox%20One/Games/46430/tx-racing-wheel-ferrari-458-italia-edition

Yup pro was a mistake, the game is rather harsh in its introduction, I was struggling with it too but a group of us have been playing with settings and it's now much much better. I tried to add you to come join Ekona, myself and some friends but I guess you didn't see the invite. Will be back on Sunday so can try then. Stick with it though, it's got lots of rough edges but given time and support this is going to be a gem, I'm loving it. No didnt see the invite sorry. I've put the racing line on and enabled TCS and ABS. What really seems to have done the trick though is i've increased the throttle and brake deadzone and reduced the throttle sensitivity. Much better now... just managed about 10 laps of Oulton in an RUF in light rain! ...feel like im cheating using the racing line though.

... probably shouldt say this, but our company manages the ticketing systems for Ipswich, Norwich and Brentford. I've been managing the Wembley preparations directly with Ipswich & Norwich all week! We also have Sheffield United, and have recently signed Southend Utd (although Southend arent on our platform yet), but both of those are in playoffs too. It's been a busy week at our offices!
