Monaco GP, Champions League Final, Indy 500, Giro D'Italia, very busy weekend Pete

Good 1 Well thought out routes with "escape points" for the faint hearted 2 Good roomy car parks on the route 3 350Z Cards with User and Real names 4 Splitting us into groups 5 The Moreton and The Waterloo. 6 The BBQ 7 The Organisation 8 Almost everything else Not so good I'm with Husky, would be good if we could be allocated our own area to park at The Moreton and a real shame that somebody parked their car (was it a Seat?) right in the firing line for the group photos at Bala Pete

Apart from using I-Drive (and Mozy) I've got a couple of USB Network drives, got a 2TB one for about £100 a while ago, can also be used as an ordinary USB drive. I also have an Iomega 1TB Network drive which is simple to access through the internet. Kinda Paranoid about my data having had a catastrophic data loss in the 90's. Pete

Welcome . Although the minutes will drag, the days will fly by Pete

I use I-Drive, a free Internet backup system and have a scheduled incremental backup at 04:30 every day. You get 2gb of free space, but you can buy extra if you need to. Easy to use, just install and forget http://www.idrive.com/ Hmm, free 5gb now Pete

Well, Caroline who was directly behind me and one in front of you spotted it and reckons we were under the limit at that point. From the looks of it I'd say the actual spot where they take the speed reading would be roughly where the white van is in the google street view image. ChrisS or Luke might be able to confirm our speed. Pete

Couldn't agree with you more, If you got pulled over by a Traffic Cop at 35 then 99% of the time you'd just get a ticking off but those mobile sites show no mercy. I don't really understand the attitude of The North Wales Police, fining people for going slightly over the limit just means that less people will visit the area and it creates a bad feeling between the public and The Police. Pete

Nurrish SatNav for me Pete

I usually use 4th in heavy traffic at 30, if there's not much on the road then 5th. Pete

That sucks Can't say for certain but you should get that option, I think its 38 and under in North Wales. I missed the briefing and didn't even see the camera O.K, just looked into this and 37 is the limit for the course in N Wales. Pete

About time this thread was revisited . I've had a look at the map and it seems that the best meeting point for those coming up from Wales, The Midlands, The South and parts of The North West would be the Charnock Richard service area on The M6. There is a service area further south at Lymm but this looks to be mainly a Truck Stop. We could also pick up those travelling cross country at one of the two Moto service areas in Lancaster or Burton? I'm fairly easy about the meeting time as I'm off all day Friday but would suggest between 1pm and 3pm for the first meet up. Over to you guys Pete

Superb Pete

Hmm, I have several laptops running at home and one of them running Vista drops the connection once or twice a day, the others running XP never drop the connection If you reboot the computer and your connection comes back on then its unlikely to be the router, more likely a problem with the internal wireless card in the laptop. I kinda fixed mine by disabling the onboard WiFi card and and replaced it with a USB wireless stick which limited dropouts to once a week or so. There's also an option to turn off the WiFi card when the computer is idle, this is enabled by default and needs to be disabled as quite often the card is unable to wake up from its slumbers. Also, after some experimentation, I've found that setting static IP's for devices attached to the router improves stability a tad. Just read your latest post and yeah, if you're having to reset your router constantly then it needs replacing. Mine often goes 6 months without a reset Pete

Rays were also standard on very late pre facelift models, my 55 reg (Jan 2006) had them at no extra cost. Pete

Wow, sharp quality pictures there Octet Pete

Welcome to the forum. There's one on the Birdview SatNav, (if you have one) and I seem to recall that there's one on the radio on some JDM's. Pete

Happy birthday to all Pete

Yeah, I've got 2 of those progs as well . Saw both The Who and Yes at Deeside in 1981 (ish). I'm also into Rush, never did get to see them, they were scheduled to play at Deeside but I think the Ice rink flooded or burned down Some of my Albums from decades ago... Still sends a shiver down my spine 30 years on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGasaah8lrw# Pete

Well, I've noticed this too, doesn't sound like anything to get concerned about. Pete

Worthless trophy anyway Pete

Snowdonia is one of the wettest places in The U.K, second only to part of The Lakes I don't know if anybody was brave enough to take their eyes off the road in the Glasslyn Pass but the river was in flood showing just how much rain there's been lately...bone dry here 60 miles away Pete

What?? No heated seats??? I'd prefer a UK GT with Nismo stuff rather than loosing the heated seats. , don't know the full spec but I found an evo review of The Nismo in 2005, presumably the one car that Nissan imported. The projected price was £50k so maybe they didn't think there would be too many takers but compare that to the U.S price of $37k http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarr ... _350z.html Pete

Won't damage the engine (as a one off usage), but as the normal treatment level for detergent in gasoline is measured in parts per million it "might" be better to put it in more gradually, say over 3 or 4 tankfuls. Of course, I have no way of knowing what exactly is in BG44K but it certainly won't be 100% detergent. I worked for a company that produced gasoline detergent and I would inject 1 ml of the concentrate per tankful. The actual production cost including the profit we made was quite high, about 3-5 times the cost of engine oil from what I remember, so yeah £20 isn't too bad. Pete

Yes Pete
