Re: I had 2 Crashes on Monday ....

I used to drive a ProKart around the left hand side of that track on Wednesdays.

We were allowed out every now and then to use the full track as part of the practice laps before a meet race.

Re: ZOMFG!!!

I've been looking at the C5's for a while. Saw them in France last year and it looked amazing from the outside. That inside picture looks even better!

Re: ZOMFG!!!

Cambelt? The 2.0 TDCI's are chain driven? I've got a MK3 Mondeo (2003 reg) running a 130 2.0 TDCI and granted, it's absolutely amazing with the 6 speed gear box but at the same time, it's an utter pain in the ass. Since the day I bought it (july 2010) I've spent £1400 on it. 4 New injectors, 2 crank...

Re: Your favourite air freshner.

Now that i'm unsure of. Although the smell would sometimes make you want to. I've only tried the Cherry and Apple one (although it only shows Pear on the site). I love synthetic Apple, i.e. Apple Sourz, apple flavoured sweets etc. This thing made my mouth water every time I got in the car, sometimes...

Re: The I-Phone

You can buy a case that simply turns the Ipod Touch into a 2G iPhone lol. Worst idea ever?! Believe it or not, the Camera on my 9780 is fantastic and granted the internet isn't lightening fast but it's a lot better than my Desire which had 7.2mb/s. The only downside is the tariffs for me. I was payi...

Re: The I-Phone

I've just bought the Blackberry 9780 after owning a HTC Desire. Not disappointed. I love the openess of the Desire (Android) but it was very flakey. It wouldn't notify me of messages and the battery lasted five minutes, even with Juice Defender installed. The Blackberry, bought it on saturday. Curre...

Re: Installing Windows XP

If you've got SP1, then using a USB Flash Drive/SD Card would probably be the only method short of downloading and burning them onto a cd/dvd.

Your network card/wifi will not be picked up by the native drivers in Windows.

Re: Email....how do you get yours??

It's 6 and 2 3's lol Android is better if you have an gmail account as when you add a contact, calendar etc it syncs with your phone and vice versa.

Great if you clear the phone as it automatically pulls down the contacts you've previously put on

Re: Email....how do you get yours??

I've got a Google Apps account. Instead of a Gmail/Googlemail email address, I can use my own domain. It's free, works amazingly and integrates with my android phone like a beaut. It's so good we ended up setting out company email up on it. At home I just use the web interface. It's good enough, on ...

Re: The use of front fog lights

To be honest, I think more and more cars now are simply coming with "sports lights" which are simply for show. The Mondeo has the word fog light switch ever. You pull the light switch out to turn them on. What's stupid about it, is that you can't turn on the rear without turning on the front, but yo...

Re: Hooning about in a 406...in the snow

It was great when I first bought it, it just seem to be going down hill quickly. I may end up cutting my losses and getting rid. I just can't bring my self around to doing it lol

Re: Hooning about in a 406...in the snow

Typical, I used to work for a fleet management company. I should have stayed with them now I have the mondeo.

I've just put down yet another £500 on repairs. In three months, i've spent a total of £1400. I'm sick :(
