Heaven forbid someone should make an effort to try and be polite whilst still trying to help a member who has a somewhat 'distinct' posting style. FWIW I'm with Beavis, I can't understand half of what 4RE says these days. Not sure I'm missing much really, but then he probably thinks the same about me.

Scary, isn't it?

At least it's not in Resale Grey or Raincloud Silver.

Nope, you need to pay far more attention to them. It's now the Registered Keeper who is ultimately liable for the fines if they can't/won't name the driver, much like the S172 forms for speeding. Up until now it used to be that only the driver was liable for the parking charge, but the law is changing so that the companies can go directly after the RK.

Safari is much, much quicker. And Siri is actually helpful now, unlike how it used to be. Panoramic photos are epic, too! Question: Why has it evolved into Apple vs Android, when really the Android folks should be arguing over which handset is better comparing the One X, S3 etc? Surely that's a fairer comparison, and far easier to do subjectively?

Speed signage law must be obeyed. If it's missing (especially on a country lane where there would be no street lighting to enforce a 30) then you have a defence, and I'd have gone through the courts for that. Cameras don't have to be visible. Speed signs do. If you obey the speed signs then you'll never get prosecuted. I still cannot for the life of me fathom why people bother to speed in 30, 40 or 50 zones, or on the motorway network. It's not fun, and that's where they're looking to get you.

No more scrunching up the letters and filing them in the bin

Those thumping great 30 signs with the red borders tend to be a giveaway, too

Never been a problem before on launch day.

No chance. That reason would never be accepted by any court, not sure who told you that whopper. If you were doing the speed, then you have no defence. Edit: Unless directed by a copper, under duress or as an emergency service on a blue light call.

Streetview I can live without, but no sat view is retarded. There was talk about Google doing a map app, and I really hope they do.

The new Maps app is ****ing useless. The satellite view has no zoom on it at all, and there's loads of places covered by cloud. Yes, having navigation is handy, but no satellite view just cripples it.

Love the picture of him in the helmet!

If you accept iTunes for what it is, it's a very decent bit of software. If you constantly try and fight it then you'll never get on with it. Let it do what it wants and it's very good.

You have got to be kidding me. 1. iCloud went down for a poxy 10 hours and Apple have apologised and said that the outage was unnaceptable, NOT the service. 2. So a manufacturer deliberately withholds stock to make it seem more desirable. Companies have been doing that for years: Ferrari are the best at it, but electronics companies aren't shy of using the same trick. 3. Something that isn't released may or may not work 100% correctly when it's released. Or it might, no-one knows yet. Christ, I could give you a list of 10 things to knock Apple for if you want very easily, so why pick on complete non-stories like those? This is exactly why no-one takes fanboys seriously, of either the Apple OR Android variety.

A phone could have a 5" screen, built in 128GB of space & expansion, 24MP camera, battery that lasts for 4 weeks and a processor that can calculate Pi to 1M places in 0.4 secs, and yet none of that would remotely factor into my purchasing decision.

Completely agree. Sh*t can happen in any car, so you'll never be able to eradicate the oil/diesel/ice mishaps that can effect all of us. Your best tool is your right foot and a dose of common sense.

Ah, anti-Apple fanboy ads. The cutting edge of humour.

Depends what else you're avers(e) to, I guess. But yeah, even a quick check of the PH classifieds can prove that nugget wrong.

No they don't you numpty, they're miles off!

I think he means a normal bank loan, which should show on the credit file. But even so, who cares if it does? At worst it'll show that you paid it off on time, which is hardly bad news is it? As I said the other day, just chuck the lot on a credit card (even a normal 12% one) and pay it off over a couple of months. You'd still be miles better off.

Buy it. If it's a dream car, then just do it.

Agreed.

It's not as much bigger as you think. I put a tape measure next to my 4S last night and it was only fractionally bigger, certainly nothing the over-compensating S3 brigade have anything to worry about.

I hate to say it, but the problem isn't the TC in the car, it's the TC at the end of your right leg.
