MrLizard

anyone else made the same mistake as me and purchased wiifit? (zedrush please ignore) plugged it in, got on it, was told i was 'a fat b*sdtard', then proceeded to play the balance games whilst eating fried chicken. brain training is more rewarding as im good at that, am i missing the point? I have only had the 'wii' for about 2 weeks, bizarre thing that it is!

The Kuro's have great reviews, sl114, im a big fan of forza, so anytime you want a race let me know my tag is Team Lizard

i got the 42" Panasonic PZ85B, awesome screen, well happy, even got them to pay for my taxi home as wouldnt fit in the car (obviously) though the salesman said they had someone try and get onei n a 911 the week before, lol! xbox 360 replaced under warranty arrived the same day, which now has a HDMI out on the back, plugged straight in and found as 1080p, still unpacking the rest of the house but I do have the lounge done

I leave mine set to about 7000, it only warns you, doesnt actually limit it, i only set it lower when the misses drives it as she thinks somethings wrong

that looks mint, great job... cant wait to see it in the flesh!!!

Thanks for the post drewbie, the 42" pana was the one i really wanted, just right at the top end of the budget.. I have an onkyo 5.1 amp with more than enough audio equipment,4 missions/b&w sub an centre so i certainly dont care about the quality of the TV speaker (Thanks student loan company) Ive been told that you cant lay a plasma on its side? Is that true???

interesting post H5, im having a look at reviews of that now, thanks

Thanks for the replies, I dont watch TV, only movies and play games, only watch TV series when i can get the box set (im unsure if thats sad or not...) So SD doesnt appeal to much, hoping with the films etc it should be able to upscale well enough etc... Good to hear your liking the sony with the ps3, do you rate movies through it as well, are you using anything to upscale the signal?

Thanks, i have sent an email off to them with enquiry, looks like decent prices..

Im going to nip into leamington and see if I can find one at lunch, ta beavis. PS Please dont wear my skin as a coat...

Mike The one you posted can only go upto 1024x768, Im currently running in 720p which is something like 1368x768, 1080p would be 1980x1080 (i think) Would of thought dropping in resolution that much with a TV that size would look bad? need to see some in the flesh but everywhere i go have crap signals running through them

I did see the 85B panasonic in the flesh and love it, but couldnt find it for cheaper than £1300 with warranty... £1300 on a TV is a lot... you think it is worth the extra dosh?

I am moving house finally on Thursday I want a new TV, I currently run my xbox360 & PC through a 26" HD monitor which is great but not for the size of lounge, so what are peoples opinions on this http://www.johnlewis.com/230459974/Product.aspx Is there a better alternative, I will also be buying a PS3 for the new TV, so ideally would want 1080p, budget of around £1k for the TV but no more. Thanks MrLizard PS is GT5 worth getting?

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=DggRRCqEiKw&feature=related How did the guy in the blue 350 manage that???

nice seats Doesnt this just reconfirm that your using them to play GT5 on tho?

i live in midlands an im off to wales, i thought it was relatively close compared to some people on here, tho +1 for a midlands meet in the future!

Markw, Im an IT manager/3rd line techy in west mids, we support a few recruitment agencies (as well as loads of other companies) one of which i would highly recommend for IT placement. I wont mention name or anything, if you are interested you can either send me your CV and ill put in a good word or I can give you the name and you can deal straight with them. (over pm) Good luck MrL

that is Hope to see you at some events this year, the rest of the team with me are welsh so im sure ill be dragged over the boarder a few times. cant imagine that thing is much fun in the wet

There was a 16v 1.6 clio, 110bhp against the VTS's 120bhp, both apparently handle well however ive driven neither (have driven a new vts and a 1.0 clio, but that deosnt really qualify) pugeot 205 has 105bhp but weighs less,

16v would be nice, the pug only being 8, saxo vts is an interesting thought actually, i might have a look on ebay, whatever i do get an tune ill leave a running commentary on here however well or badly it goes. escort crossed my mind but RWD again takes me out of the lower class n puts me against supras etc so i might as well use the zed (which i cant afford to loose)

Thats an interesting point, the rules stipulate that the car must have the original number of seats and the original dash in tact, you can strip the gumph behind the dash, clock, radio, some useless wiring for interior lights etc, including carpet headlining etc... but nothing else However if i strip more than 4kg worth im stuffed because although i weigh a fair few kg's its the unladen weight of the car that counts. and needs to be more than 800kg's Ill have a look at what you suggested though, 205 isnt 'that' tunable without serious work, though i thought nova's handled like a lampost ? MrL

Hi everyone, I am in the process of getting into sprints etc... done a few autotests before but nothing requiring the MSA national b license, Anyway, planning on getting a 205, wanted something in the beginner class, and the stats arnt bad, engine below or equal to 1.6 and weight minimum is 800kg, gti is 804kg and obviously 1.6ltr. Has anyone had experience in sprints and/or 205's, is there an alternative i should look at? The reason for such a car is I can afford to loose the cash and take the 'hit' as it were, im sure a TT Rx-7 would be better (and not french) but i might not enjoy it so dont want to chuck loads of money at it 'yet' Any advice would be welcome, Thanks in Advance Mr Lizard

+1 have to agree with this aswell. Company image and how your dealt with also plays a big part in my buying decision. +2. £20k is still quite a lot of money to spend and I wouldn't feel that comfortable shelling out that amount to an organisation that doesn't relect the desired image. And that's from someone who spent 14 years in the motor industry. +3 20k is a lot of money for anything, i would want the surrounding and the rep to reflect the amount of money i was spending, i got my 350 from a sports car specialist, sat next to a 911 and an rs4, i paid 20k for a 56 plate gt with 5k miles on it, if your looking at spending 20k on a car you will find one at an outfit that makes you comfortable. gluk

I have 3 friends who would all like to make an appearance... 2 of them drive saabs (someone has to) and one audi a3 ( ) Worth putting them on the list or just turning up on the day? MrL
