  1. I agree, but everyone has their budget and if you really can't afford it, you really can't afford it. For a general PC yes, an SSD makes more of a difference than anything but for gaming, an extra 15fps is the difference between stuttering and silky smooth.
  2. Given the choice of a regular 7200 and a 1080 or an SSD and a 1070, I'd pick the former every day. I mean I don't as I run 2x SSDs and 2x 7200s, but in theory for a gaming machine I'd spend every last penny on the gfx first and foremost.
  3. I love the silly o'clock races, they're the best ones for me. Watching them when no-one else is up, and then they're done and you still have the whole day to yourself.
  4. Good question, I've no idea. I assume full, as it doesn't look like the car is allowing any slip at all.
  5. It won't interfere with the airbag at all, you're literally just poking it inside the trim.
  6. I don't use instant flash on mine, but flicking to high beam for 10+ secs of driving is fine. Comes on, goes off, no probs. Really, you shouldn't be flashing people on the roads. At night it just blinds them, and during the day a hand signal is more positive.
  7. http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/D2S-Philips-WhiteVision-35W-5000K-Xenon-HID-Bulb.html There's a 4000 lumens on a D2S
  8. Well that's just daft. Question is though, when is a kitchen not a kitchen? What's the minimum you can remove before it's not a kitchen any more? I'd say a sink & cooker really, so just pull those out. store in the garage and suddenly it's nothing more than a utility room...
  9. Look for the lumens output: That's the most important thing. These are what you want: Most bulbs are 2800, these bad boys are 4000! Significantly better, and bearing in mind that HIDS last for about 10 years then they're peanuts really.

    Wanli tyres

    Makes sense, if you think about it. Probably chopped in against something else, tyres were low so needed changing, might as well put the cheapest things on to maintain profit margin on the basis the buyer is very likely not to be an enthusiast, as enthusiasts don't buy the 2.7L version. Depends what was on there before too, might've been used Linglongs on the back and 040s on the front! Ironically all they've done is given me a huge thing to barter over when buying it. Not that I'd buy that, but you know what I mean.
  11. You've got lots of chavvy friends
  12. Literally just push it under it, there's enough slack that the lining will pop away enough to accept the cable then pop back in position holding it. I agree with Stu, I don't like suction cup either. The Blackvue also cannot be readily seen from the outside unless you're really looking, due to shape and where it sits.
  13. Our survey flagged up that the bannister rails could allow a child to fall through them (we have no kids, and the current owners had had three of their own grown up there!) and that the water main stop valve was showing signs of leaking (erm, its bone fricking dry you muppet). Waste of time, which annoyed me as I paid for the decent one too.
  14. It looks more positive than ever from testing, but then this happened last year. Ferrari looked close to .Merc in testing, then Lewis took a 0.8s lead in qualy. I'd like it to be closer, but only if RB and maybe Williams can join in too. I still want Kimi to DNF every race, and Lewis to win them all.
  15. Before clicking the link I was begging that to be a classic one with a manual 'box... Perfect choice sir!
  16. Wish they'd turn the sodding traction control off for the celebs that can actually pedal!
  17. He's more than that, he's like a 911 wearing MPSS whilst listening to Girls Aloud
  18. How the hell does he have 2M subs? The guy is more boring to listen to than I am, and that's saying something.
  19. Partly the reason I chose it, as it sits really nicely and is relatively subtle too. It's a DR650 single channel one, lovely bit of kit and the software is ace. Not cheap, but quality.
  20. Depends which one you get. I've a Blackvue, stuck behind the rear view mirror and then I just run the cable in the headlining and down the a pillar trim, then under the dash and plugged into a 12v socket. That's how most people do it I think, you get a shed load of spare cable.
  21. I reckon Ep2 was as close to old TG as we've come so far, and you know what? It was good! I'm starting to think it's actually CH&M that I was fed up of, not TG itself. Still really enjoying Harris in the limelight, having followed his career for years I'm so glad it's paying off. Anyone else notice we have very little Stig in the show now? And how it's better for it?
