  1. Try using FF and see if the issue is still there. Theres nothing on the site the requried a permenant connection, once a page is downloaded, its downloaded, it just sits there and does nothing. Theres nothing it should be doing to use bandwidth. I tried to use Chrome at work, but with its retarted "Windows default proxy" settings that you cant override I couldnt get it to work I'll try downloading it tonight and running it at home and see if theres anything untoward going on.
  2. Must be something else you chaps have running. At home and work I leave IE9 (home) and FF4 (work) running all day every day with the forum and Gmail going and have never had this problem. Both laptops get hibernated over night and restarted whenever there is an update needs to be applied. Home laptop gets restarted properly about once a month, maybe once every 2 months. Do you have chat open when this happens?
  3. Riding to work and back every day still wont be enough
  4. Having recently started to commute to work on the bike (only one way at the moment til I can get used to doing 18 miles each way), I can say first had that there are a lot of numpties out there on bikes and fully support some kind of bike test, even if its just theory. The amount of idiotic moves I have seen just in the past 2 weeks of commuting is unbelievable it really is. And thats not even inner city riding. On the flip side, I can now also see where bikers come from that have a go at a vast amount of car/van drivers. Just yesterday I was coming down a country lane where I knew it was not safe to overtake, so I took up the road somewhere between primary and secondar position, and yet a f'in white van man decided he wanted a go anyway. Well as you can guess, what comes around the bend but a car coming in the other direction and they nearly had a head on collision had I not backed off and let the van back in - not that I had any say on the matter! While cyclists need to learn to ride the roads properly, drivers also need proper training that if someone is taking the primary position, this means you should only overtake if you can do so safely as if you were overtaking a car, not try to squeeze through. I will now make sure I always hold the primary position properly in these cases so the feckers can't possibly try and squeeze past
  5. If they are all within 1-2HP of each other I would question which of them gives the best filtration as they are all giving pretty much the same level of flow. Did they measure filtration too?
  6. I had a 7" lilliput with the casing removed in my old 350z. The screen itself fit the whole perfectly, but the actual visible part (ie bit with the pixels) was ever so slightly smaller. I ended up just taping a small amount around the edge with black leccy tape to make it look neat
  7. ECU and BCM do some very weird things when the battery is dead. I'm guessing you'll need a new battery matey.
  8. This has come up on the MTB forums quite a lot. One of the reasons behind is is that they can make the packaging 100% recyclable from the home (ie can put it in your recycling bin). Not sure on those with polystyrene bits in them, but a lot of places use just cardboard now which is easily reused, and by only having limited sizes of boxes it makes their packaging cheaper even if they are sending larger boxes
  9. think of the children!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont have any children so couldnt car less I dont think anyone on this site can even claim they do otherwise they'd stop driving their cars, stop having holidays, quit their jobs and go live in the woods. Saying that Jay has been quiet for a while - anyone seen him?
  10. Its not global warming any more either - its Climate Change - can go either way

    Test drive

    I already got you pics (well Stan, but nm) The G37S is a lovely armchair fast car. Its a lot nicer inside as a cruiser than the 350z, and marginally better I'd say than the 370z (for cruising). I didnt like the 7AT transmission in the G even though its the same as the 370z, its just tuned differently. Has quite a few nice toys in it and the chairs are lovely. Boot is ok, better than the 370z and rear seats are a nice addition. Wouldnt pay the price they ask for it when you can have a 370z for less!
  12. Taken from Radio Times Ammended thread title
  13. Nope Cricket is on the 17th in 5th Gears slot
  14. They always say Next Weeks Show - and most of the time it then gets bumped
  15. Glad its being used after the stink kicked up to get it in here
  16. Back in 7 mins apparently so you wont have to do much work!
  17. O M G - maybe they have been h4x0r3d
  18. If its anything like the Black Edition paint, it will be a 2 stage pearl which isnt an easy fix to get right. Not sure the standard wheels are, but if its an insurance job, you may as well get a new wheel and keep yours as a spare - you could then get a local SMART repair place to touch it up
  19. New wheel on insurance
  20. +1, yep thats a non GT mate. You should have BOSE on your head unit and also some cruise controls on the right side of your steering wheel if it was a GT. +2 - no heated seat buttons, no cruise, no BOSE - sorry its a non-GT.
  21. GT should be leather and heated seats. However there could be a few second hand ones kicking around where the owner has swapped them out. Doesnt have aftermarket seats does it? Post a pic up
