Dalos

Sold. Thanks Dave, it should be with you tomorrow.

You'll have to mark the 14th March in her diary.

Sorry mate, I'm gonna have to stick to £75. They're regularly going for more than that on eBay inc postage.

I got the missus a posh phone cover, and later am taking her out for a meal before taking her to the Europa game at St James' Park (that bit's for me really ) Looking forward to the 14th March!

I agree, a great picture. A quick photoshop will sort the plate out though

Well I've booked the time off work so a concerted effort to be there Zed or no Zed. We both thoroughly enjoyed it last year, its an amazing part of the country.

Mine is click free now too (thanks Mrdeli). Driving up and down multi-story car parks is far less annoying now

I offered Bonnie Tyler a Quality Street earlier but she declined. So I asked her if she wanted a Celebration instead. She said she was holding out for a Hero.

Blimey! He's lucky not to have been seriously injured. They're worth a few bob, those machines too.

As I'm now selling the Zed I have no immediate requirements for the bike rack, so I am offering it up for sale. It is still boxed 'as new' as I never actually got a chance to use it apart from to test fit it. The price is £75 delivered (UK) and here is the link to the review I posted on this site http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/56306-the-last-word-re-bike-racks/page__h

If you're ok with blue (the best colour ), then there this one http://zclub.net/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=4618&title=05-nissan-350z-azure-gt&cat=1

I bought a set of these last year http://direct.asda.com/Tex-Chain-Anti-Skid-Snow-and-Ice-Wheel-Covers--2-pack/MASTERTexSnowChains,default,pd.html?dwvar_MASTERTexSnowChains_size=X%20Large £35. I don't know how good they are, as now I have them and they're in the boot, it hasn't snowed enough to need them! Much like when I take an umbrella out anywhere, it never rains!

£250?! It'll probably sell too :0

HDMIs are traditionally 'one-directional', so normally, to get sound from a TV you would have to use an analogue or optical cable back to the amp. Now, ARC (Audio Return Channel) is becoming available on higher model TV's and amps which allows the sound from a TV to travel back down the HDMI cable so you only need one between the TV and amp. (You TV is compatible and your amp will be). The amp won't be described as 1.4 compatible, it will just say it has Audio Return capability. The HDMI cable needs to be 1.4. Pretty much all amps are 3D compatible now. I manage an Audio/Visual store so don't mind helping out. Except I'm about to personally close now and head to bed, lol.

Most amps these days, especially at the price you are looking at , will be 1.4 ( for the ARC input). You will need the cable between the amp to the TV to be a V1.4, the rest don't need to be.

Then it does have ARC then, on HDMI 2 iirc. You will only need to use an optical on the Sky box then. HDMIs from everything to the amp and one HDMI from the amp to the TV in HDMI input 2.

What TV do you have Daryl? *ah, you edited your post. I didn't see that. The reason I asked was to see if it had the ARC channel on one of the HDMI inputs. If it does, then you won't need an optical from the TV back to the amp. Although, if you watch all of your program's via Sky and not the built in Freeview then it,doesn't matter. The RXA-2010 is an amazing amp at that price; I think it should comfortably beat the Pioneer.

As the amps these days use HDMI switching (as said earlier), use HDMI for everything that has it. For Sky however, also use optical for the sound as they only transmit 2ch via HDMI for some reason. On a Blu-ray, if you use optical for the sound you won't get HD sound as optical can't carry that much information so you will be limited to DD/DTS. Although there is plenty of chat about the differences (or lack of) from one HDMI cable to the next, its not as simple as black and white (or 1's and 0's ). If you have a recent TV that supports Audio Return Channel, then you will need a 1.4v cable to utilise that function to an audio system. On the amps, I personally think that the Yamahas and Onkyos are the two current best mainstream brands. The Yamahas have the edge on surround DSPs and the Onkyo the edge on 2ch audio. With the RXV673 winning the What HiFi? award, the Onkyos have dropped in price quite a bit, so are amazing value. All IMO of course

I know you should be sensible with your speed in snowy conditions, but you wouldn't want to hang about on this road for too long! EDIT: Pic removed to do Chrome Malware warning.

Newcastle, five minutes ago.

"Oral" hahaha

I was at the Tesco cafe grabbing some lunch, and the assistant behind the counter asked if I wanted anything on my burger. So I put a fiver on each way.

So does Ekona, just to release the pressure!

I've just watched Fracture on Film4. A pretty average I must say, but Ryan Goslings character was driving a maroon BMW E9. What a beautiful car, I think I've just added it to my dream garage (even though I don't really have a list :wink:). It's probably been done dozens of times, but any more 'dream garage' nominations?
