Better than you'd think, given the price. It's got enough recoil on it to give the impression of bouncing off a skin, the only downside is the other pedal is identical which is ace for double kick action, but it's only average if using as a hi-hat. Still, for what it costs and being able to fold it up it's brilliant, I think.

It's always the same with new consoles, always has been. First year gets nothing, then the shift happens and all the games come.

I never sleep.

It's got my name on it in my pic, so therefore it's mine

Ooooh that's my car, that is!

Why don't you tell us what you've tried, before we list every single possible cause of a misfire ever? It would make life a lot easier! Also, you need to sort the low idle out first IMHO.

I bought mine on a whim, only went to look at it and deliberately took the Zed so I couldn't buy it due to no room. I loved it, and then ended up unpacking it just to fit it in the car on the way home!

Wait, people still buy games on disc?! Battlefield needs to be given time to get into it, I think. Ignore the SP as it's crap, but 32 vs 32 MP is a hoot, even if you're crap like me. TF is just good fun, but again it's the nuances that make it great.

When I got to the bit about the second sh*tty boyfriend, I was already starting to think that your Mum has issues. By the third, I was just feeling utter despair for you mate. Honestly, at this point I'd be dangerously close to looking out for myself above everything else. Let your Mum go and live back with your Nan, go with her for a month or two, then get the hell out of there and find your own place. Rent something, anything, but if you don't you're going to be saddled with her mistakes for your life. It's going to be hard, and it's going to cause a huge row, but you need to talk to your Mum and point out her mistakes in clear detail or she's going to do this all over again, and you know it. In the same way that parents often have to tell their kids exactly what they're doing wrong (and let's be honest, they're normally right too!), you're going to have to turn the tables and do this to your Mum. No nicey-nicey, just be blunt but factual. If you love her, and I've no doubt you do very much, then you're going to have to intervene for her own good. I have massive, massive sympathy for you fella, I really do. Always here if you need a chat, and if you want to get away for a few days you're more than welcome to crash at my place.

It's really not. More gremlins still hiding, more stuff drying out etc. Average miles in great condition is the way to go, with modern cars. Designed to be used regularly.

Okay, so your user name is probably the most apt one I've ever seen.

That didn't make any difference!

Well duh, that's just common sense. Steve, did you ever try those tyres that made the coloured smoke?

Sadly it's an ugly car, and it'd only be like putting makeup on Nora Batty* in the end. *Bet the young 'uns on here google that.

I got ID'd when buying a PS1 with RE2 at Dixons. Wouldn't have minded but I was 18 at the time, so the cashier must've thought I might be 14! I had no ID on me, so I paid on my credit card which she seemed happy enough with.

Alpina.

Nah, not really. The last gen was long past sell by date, but the bigger issue was that neither Sony nor MS wanted to spend the big bucks and give the new consoles the power they need. Both are seriously underpowered for what people expect, and that's going to mean they'll both need replacing much sooner than the 7 years the others lasted. MS couldn't take the risk as they were already more expensive by insisting on Kinect (a huge mistake), and Sony had already bumped up their specs and knew they were more powerful than the Xbone which, for the, was enough.

So has eVolve But in better news, ResiEvil 1 is coming out in full 1080/60 goodness, with 5.1 AND an updated control system option! Should be out next year, can't wait.

Fair play to you mate, you really do like sticking your head above the parapet

Dan is here He says don't faff, do it properly. Buy tyres in the correct size, sell the wrong ones on eBay. Job's a carrot.

No excuse I'm afraid, as it's in the Highway Code as well

I've got a Roland HD-1 at home as well, great fun to smash on when I'm in the mood. I'm probably a better drummer than a guitarist, really. I blame Rock Band for that.

The roads are fine, it's the people using them that's the problem.

Nice!

Is that not why you buy a brand-new car though, for the warranty? Tbh, if it's that critical that the car is 100% all the time, then you really need to be looking at buying two cars. One main one, and one back up shed.
