  1. Ok so you are going on a road trip, you've got 20+ hours in the driving seat. What's on your stereo? I'll start - Lynyrd Skynrd - Free Bird (the proper 9 minute version). Go!
  2. Also I think he is having a load of work done which might explain the difference in wheels.
  3. Another vote for the Essen!
  4. In case you are having a rubbish Monday, here is a picture of Harley as a kitten!
  5. Don't forget to put a peg on your nose!!
  6. Right well I need to also add my appreciation for the Zed Shed. I visited yesterday for what was supposed to be a simple diagnosis of 'dodgy' clutch and ended up with a new clutch master cylinder!! These boys are truly awesome, I had a great day and the sun was shining. I'll definitely be back later this year. I'm just waiting to get my hands on the photos and then I'll enlighten you all as to what went on (well the bits that are family safe for an open internet forum ).
  7. The Autoglym stuff works well enough, it's just not quite the "best". And I just like being awkward as much as anything. Protip - Use a spray head on a bottle of AG ITR and it becomes as good as Tardis (IMO). Don't follow the instructions on the bottle which are pants!
  8. I'm pretty sure you can get them but has anyone bought one and how much was it? Thanks.
  9. I've got the non-res and had my first motorway drive today. It is bearable but I'm still undecided about it Sent from my EndeavorU using Tapatalk
  10. Lovely cat. We bought 2 of those radiator hammocks but none of our cats will go near them. Pete He lives in it. If we take it down to put the washing up he just lays on the floor waiting for it haha.
  11. I'm not familiar with IC's but assume it's basically the same as a regular radiator...if that's the case, can you not paint it?
  12. I don't think you're going to have much luck with this bud. About the best you can do is use a wheel brush and some APC but you'll never get it looking new again.
  13. This has crossed my mind but I love them too much Thanks for all the useful advice, I'll stick with the correct size. Currently I have FK453's fitted by the previous owner, same on the front, I'll likely get the same again I've had no problems with them.
  14. I don't really know much about tyre sizes so please forgive my ignorance. Before I drop a load of cash on tyres, what sizes are 'correct' for the 19" LMGT4 rear wheels? Currently fitted with 275/35/19 tyres. I can really feel all the bumps in the road would there be any benefit to getting a 40 profile tyre? Do they exist? Would it look terrible?
  15. Hey mouthwash, any update on this mate?
  16. Yes, a couple of people have mentioned a RAID. A basic mirrored RAID (RAID1) would be sufficient but you should really go for a hardware RAID over a software RAID. This is where you have an extra bit of hardware (normally a PCI-express expansion card but could be built into the motherboard) to create a RAID rather than some software that runs inside Windows. Software RAIDs are terrible and a nightmare to work with. There is no replacement for decent backups however!
  17. I'm confused by your question individual programs etc are run of the individual pc with a network connection to a central PC (or server) where all data is stored and accessed the business is a private dental practice - i started looking after it when they had 1 pc and all their records were on paper I'm not a network expert but have repaired and looked after single pc's for years - what i have is self taught (but that knowledge is getting a little strained these days) the reason i said windows 7, is because I know it.................i have no experience of Server 2012 at all.........and that makes me nervous - i have to have him up and running over the weeked for the bootable hard drive, is a SSD an option or should it be steared clear of ? thanks Ok, I understand now. The PC you have is being used to serve files. The reason I would normally steer clear of using a desktop OS (XP, Vista, 7 or 8) is because I'm pretty sure they have to remain logged on by a user for the services to be running (this was certainly true for XP, I'm not certain if this has changed sinced). With a server OS the services continue to run even without a user logged on. If you are only familiar with desktop versions of Windows, I wouldn't suggest trying to user a server version if you don't have some time to learn it. On the face of it 2012 looks identical to Windows 8 but under the hood it's quite different. As for SSD drives, they are fine as daily drivers if you need speed. However, they are an 'expensive' luxury for a five user server, especially as I imagine you need lots of space rather than lots of speed. Typically with all things computers it comes down to budgets. The more you can spend the more future proofing you can do. EDIT - If you are using an SSD for the OS and then a big spindle drive for the file storage I can't see there being much benefit other than to boot times. It would be worth it only if the server gets restarted often.
  18. Think i saw him come out with some chrome wiper blades. Maybe a turbo badge to match? No, it was one of these: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_158750_langId_-1_categoryId_165701
  19. I'm confused, are you wanting a server or a PC? What is it being used for? If it's a server, why run Windows 7 and not 2012?
  20. Also the ****ing ball joint tie rods! Made of cheese
  21. Is this easy to locate and inspect? Is it part of the pedal or is it the other side of the bulkhead?
