Hello and fellow devonshire chap. You'll find this site a terrific resource for everything you could want to know. I hope you find the right car, and look forward to seeing you on the roads. Whereabouts in our lovely county do you hail from?

I have my double din head unit positioned where the old stereo unit was fitted. There is no problem with the height of the screen/viewing angle with it here. My satnav is clearly readable, and access to functions very easy. In fact when you're sat in the driver's seat, you're quite low down anyway so visibility really isn't an issue. I couldn't be more pleased with the unit here. I hope this helps.

I had the Pioneer DNX7200 fitted earlier this year. It was fitted professionally by Turnbulls in Plymouth and they did a stirling job, looks factory fitted and really compliments the interior. I had a USB socket tucked into the cubby hole which has an 8gb flash drive with loads of albums on it, so don't even bother with cd's now. When I have the other half with me she likes watching music dvd's while we're out and about. I also had the bluetooth, satnav and reverse camera fitted, but this last was a total waste of money. I couldn't be more pleased overall, but wish I'd saved the ££Â£'s and not bought the camera, it's absolutely useless!

Currently on the Buchan Alpha, and the weather's very nice up here. It's Kingston in Devon though mate, not in Surrey!!!

Well, with the imminent arrival of May 11th and the NWR, I find myself stuck out in the middle of the North BLOODY Sea and unable to join you all. I spent a grand total of 8 days at home after returning from Mexico (6 weeks there in total!) before packing my bags again to head up to Aberdeen. Needless to say, I'm absolutely gutted that I can't be with you for the road trip. I need something like that to really cement my membership in the brotherhood (and sisterhood, Nixy). So I hope that you will spare me just a fleeting thought on Sunday, 'cause I'll be thinking of you lot. And I hope you have a great day. Sniff

Hey, thanks for looking out for my best interests, Martin, you the man God, I hope this finishes soon, and I can come home. I'm meant to be back in the North Sea first week in May (gonna miss NWR ) then I'm on a regular 3/1 rota til winter. busy busy busy

Still on the pacific coast in Mexico. 5 weeks now and really REALLY missing my zed, oh and Lisa too Counting the days until I get rotated back home. On the up side, it's been +30c every day of it and not a drop of rain to be had

Thisa whole sorry business started over a misunderstanding. Macca told mucca he was going to buy her a plane for her birthday, she just didn't expect to see Black and Decker written down the side of it!!!

Bloody women!! Always moaning they've not got enough shoes!!!!

Worst time of the year to do paintball is in the heat. Your mask gets proper steamed up Diving tip: smear a very thin layer of soap (fairy liquid/shampoo) on the inside of the lenses will stopp 'em fogging, but it has to be a very thin layer or it'll inhibit your vision.

An elderly couple are sitting in front of their fireplace one evening, contemplating their 60 years of marriage together. Mary asks Fred if he's ever been unfaithfull "it's okay" she says "We're too long in the tooth now for me to be upset about any indescretions" "Well" says Fred, "there was one occasion, it'd be about forty years ago now, you remember when we had that rough patch? it didn't last though, maybe a couple of times at most. What about you, Mary, were you ever tempted to stray?" Mary says, "Before I answer, dear, go get that shoe box from under my side of the bed". Off he bimbles only to return a few minutes later holding an open shoe box containing two eggs and a bunch of five pound notes. "I don't understand" Fred says, perplexed "what does it mean?" "Well" replies Mary "the eggs represent the amount of times I've cheated on our marriage" Fred thinks that twice isn't so bad after 60 years and feels quite at ease. "So what about the fivers?" he asks. "Well" Mary again replies " each time I get to a dozen, I sell 'em!"

+1 Made me choke on my tea!

STOP! IT HURTS!! PLEASE STOP!!!

Someone sent me this recently My friend, you are in trouble! What you have here is a bonafide addiction, you're away on holiday and just can't keep off the site I'm not sure if there's any support groups or workshops that can help you here, but I'm starting to worry! Get off and go and do some sight seeing. There there, there there. Yeah, walked right into that one! Sadly, there's no time to go exploring, and to honest there doesn't appear to be that much around to look at here. When we get down to Mexico later today, then I'll have a good look around, got tomorrow off to recover from the travelling, so that'll help.

I love my job, in fact, while some of you may understandably disagree, I think it's the best job in the world! Someone once told me "if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life". It's true, while I sit in my nice hotel room in Detroit waiting for my transfer flight to mexico, the anticipation and excitment of the next few weeks is terrific. For those of you who don't know, I'm a commercial diver. I would normally be working in the North Sea for the oil and gas industry, but the season for air work has yet to kick off. So during the winter months I occupy my time with civil engineering diving. This means I get to spread my wings and travel. I've been to southern India, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, a bunch of middle eastern countries, and very soon, Mexico. Nope, there is no better job that I can honestly think I'd rather be doing

how much did it set you back mate I thought I was getting conned by my own mate Mate, I'm to embarassed and ashamed to say, but it was considerably more than you're paying. Good on you. dude if you still got your reciept take it back and ill see if I can get you another at the price I pad, save you a bit if you want? I appreciate that, but I'm off tomorrow and don't know how long I'll be gone for. To be honest, It's no biggy, I knew that I'd have to pay a little more for what I wanted, it just came as a real shock to see you'd got you're for that price. A couple of weeks ago, Simplygames.com were selling brand new units for £429, which is what they originally sold for, but by the time I'd processed my order they'd sold out. I can live with this, and thanks again.

There is soooo much I want to say about that, but I suppose decency prohibits it!!!

I had to go up to London yesterday, and on my drive to the railway station at Reading I passed 3x Kuro's, 1x Blade and a GM all travelling southbound on the M4. Then there was the GM that fell in behind me a the junction fro Reading. All these were between 8 and 9 AM. On my return home, another Kuro heading northbound on the M4(or possibly one of the one's I saw earlier), and a GM heading North on the M5 toward Bristol. One of you, at least, has to be someone on here.

how much did it set you back mate I thought I was getting conned by my own mate Mate, I'm to embarassed and ashamed to say, but it was considerably more than you're paying. Good on you.

Not totally true. Betamax still lives on. In the industry it became more advanced to become Betacam, then Betacam SP and for the last 10 years DigiBeta. All a progression of the original Betamax. Tapes still look very similar. that may be so, I'm not up on the cam scene, but as a studio released video format, it's a gonner, but so is VHS for all that!

YOU JAMMY, JAMMY GIT!!!

You're right on the HD DVD score, it's as dead as betamax. But I'm still not convinced that Blueray will really be the format to take over from standard DVD. They've been with us for a while and normally publishers would jump on the band wagon and start pushing the sales of the new format. However, when you see the ads on telly for new release movies, very few are advertised as being available on anything other than DVD. I guess only time wll tell. On the PS3 front. I got myself one of the 60gb bad boys come through the post last Thursday And, yeah, I had to pay over the odds to get a brand new, fully warrantied one, but I wanted the backward compatability. I have to say, initial impressions are awe inspiring. Been playing Uncharted; Drakes Fortune, it's bloody great! and have yet to open my copy of Assassins Creed. That one will have to wait until I get home from Mehico, so it's back to Syphon Filter on the PSP and COD 4 on the laptop, oh and Oblivion!. Hey Zed, I'd be interested to know if you get a new one and how much you cough up for it.

I will get some pics up, but it'll have to wait a while, at least til I get beck from Mexico. watch this space!

A young, heavily pregnant mother has a nasty car crash which results in a coma. She comes around in the hospital several weeks later only to be told by her watchful mother that the doctors had to perfom a ceasarian as they feared for the wellbeing of her two beautiful twins, a little girl and a bouncing baby boy. Being devout catholics, it was important to name the babies immediatly, and the new mum was told that her brother took the responsibilty. She shrieked "Oh God no! That feckin' eejit always fecks up everyting, please tell me he hasn't give me babies their names!!!" The mother tried to calm her destraught daughter when she said " ye'd better tell me what the feckwit called them" "Well, he called yer little lass Denise" The new mum, relief washing over her, said "I suppose that's not so bad, what about the boy?" "Denephew" said her mother!

Don't you remember the printed message on the inner sleeve of LPs: "home taping is killing music"? this was topped with a silhoutte of a cassette over crossed bones in a pirate stylee, or am I just showing my age?
