GAIDMGLOL That explosion was amazing!

New to me. 'Tis all guitar wankery though. Impressive stuff, and sounds good, but it's just technique over substance. Anyone can pick a solo based around a scale, but it's much harder to write a proper song and stuff. That said, the first tecno thing was ace, that sh*t's hard to do on an acoustic.

What do they replace? The material, the frame, the mechanism?

FLOL :lol: What. The. Fook?!

And the best looking.* *I've never met him. And I'm drunk.

Anyone who gets over 24mpg isn't driving it properly.

You big girl! That's not the S2 liner, which one is it?

GLOL :lol: In that case, tunnel or train?

Have you not heard that phrase before? Was drummed into us as kids for graphs and that. "Along the corridor..." - The first number refers to the horizontal "...up the stairs!" - The second number refers to the vertical So a monitor as described would be a mere 1920 pixels wide, but a massive 12000 pixels high! S'okay, seeing as how the OP didn't get it either I think we can forgive you

If mine only costs me that, I'll consider it a bargain! Console plus half a dozen games plus controller plus charging pack plus steering wheel if they can get me one... Ouch.

Spoke to my local Game shop earlier. I'm off down there tomorrow to finalise my Xbone pre-order. Going to take all my 360 games that I'm never going to play ever again with me and chop them in, even if I only get a couple of quid for them. Apparently you can't pay for the console itself yet, only two days beforehand, but everything else can be sorted and done, including games and accessories. It's going to cost me an absolute fortune

Lower profile tyres don't equal better handling. You lose weight and gain turn-in response but lose feedback, and you also end up with a harder ride that can cause the car to move around unexpectedly on poor roads. Whether those downsides are offset by being able to run better tyres (in terms of grip, feedback and cost) is up to the individual.

So which hotel are we booking, anyway?

Please not Hermes

This won't be a 918/P1/LF rival, they're extreme hypercars. This will be another shot across the bow of the 911 Turbo, as well as the new baby McLaren and oft-wished-for baby Ferrari. I guessed at 2000 kgs, but batteries are ridiculously heavy and that's roughly the weight of them in the aforementioned hypercars with roughly the same power output from their hybrid systems. Assuming the new GT-R will still have a big engine and 4WD, I can't see them removing 200kg of weight from elsewhere in the car to compensate. Mizuno-san has already said that he wanted the GT-R to be heavy as it settles down better on the road, so clearly he's happy with a bloater of a car and just chucking more power and technology at it. Whilst I'm glad that stuff like that exists, for me that's not the way forward.

Imagine if they spent all that dev money on making the car lighter, rather than adding weight. A 1500kg , 550bhp GT-R would be far more interesting than a 2000kg, 700bhp one. Make it smaller and lighter please, stop chasing headline figures.

Yeah, me too. I'm a boyhood Leeds fan, but due to the distances involved in travelling I rarely get a chance to see them anymore, so I find myself supporting my local team (Braintree Town) for more these days. It's Conference level football so the quality is pretty dire, and the facilities are awful, but it's just as passionate there as at any Leeds game I've ever been to. I'll happily stick on any Prem or LaLiga game if it's on the telly and watch it, and especially the CL games regardless of who's playing. I may not be as passionate about football as I used to be, but I'm watching more of it and enjoying it more as a result. Except for England. I cannot bring myself to watch England games, as the standard there is just so poor and dull to watch,

DPD are the best courier firm bar none. For the end user, the tracking is utterly superb. Anyone who sends via MyHermes clearly has never received a parcel from them. Utter gash. Offered a choice, I'd rather pay extra for Parcelforce or DPD than I would use someone cheap.

It's not that, it's more that there's no games available from either platform that offers anything remotely new, and it's hard to get excited about stuff that we've all seen a thousand times before. I'm excited about a new gadget, but not about the games.

Choosing to put 40 profile on is not cutting corners, if the choice is made for the right reasons. Would you seriously rather run 040s in OEM spec than MPSS in 40 profile?

thats some tall monitor u have I'm not an expert so could be wrong but since it's vertical lines wouldn't it be wide? Along the corridor, up the stairs.

Pix of your display unit plz matey, sounds cool as

Porsches are crap and owned by tossers

Alan Devonshire is our manager. Really nice guy too, very down to earth but by god does he have a voice on him when he wants!
