    Good news!

    We're expecting a baby!!! 17 weeks down, so I thought I'd share the good news. Not sure if it's a boy/girl yet, but we'll know in 3 weeks. Very glad I'm sorting the single turbo before he/she arrives!
  2. Chris, get yourself a drive that uses RAID. Not sure if you know what that is, but basically if you have 2 x 500GB drives, they are set up in a mirror. What ever you write to the first disk gets written to the 2nd disk. The downside is you only get 500GB from the 2 drives, but if one drive fails, the remaining drive keeps working, you buy another disk to replace the failed disk, pop it in, and the device re-writes the data to the 2nd disk and you once again have peace of mind resiliency. Backups achieve the same thing but there are manual steps involved. Backups are only better if you have a fire and the backups were kept offsite or in a fireproof safe. This is an example of what I mean http://reviews.cnet.com/hard-drives/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo/4505-3186_7-31593898.html
  3. True. All you really need is one single LED per cluster
  4. Congratulations by the way. I'm expecting my first too
  5. Nooooooooooo, don't goooooooooo. You can still fit a little one in the boot.
  6. That's looking really good, although someone nicked your rear lights
  7. Dammit. Anyone have a "spare OSx license key" lying around?
  8. Hey chaps, Anyone know if there is a windows version of the iPhone SDK? Otherwise, has anyone successfully install the mac OS into a VM? Cheers Mark
  9. Happy happy dude! How was Sonisphere? Who played in the end?
  10. I had that in the shed? Sorry
  11. Yup, pleased it's off. I nearly tried cillit bang!
  12. Yup, Some t-cut for metallic paint. Was getting a little worried after a while but thankfully it came off. I was starting to think that after going single I'd need a new windscreen and respray and to be honest, the spending on these cars just never stops, but luckily that lasted about 5 minutes and now I'm thinking about bigger injectors and a bigger turbo....

    Topgear now

    I'm completely disillusioned with it all. What was with the dinosaurs last week. Annoying as hell as you couldn't get a proper look at the cars. Good thing I'm not epileptic!!
  14. Mine is also R***XKR but not me as mine isn't veilside. Quite a few supes with R***XKR
  15. If you can't see the picture press Ctrl - F5.
  16. I'd take all the stickers off, as well as that hideous rear spoiler. And I'm not sure it's a real facelift as the rear lights have the black surround. Check the VIN plate.
  17. The t-cut clear plastic polish did the trick Cheers chaps.
  18. Can you use that on glass? I've got some T-Cut clear plastic polish... might give that a bash...
  19. Cheers Back in a minute..........
  20. I've just got back from a shopping centre and when I started driving I noticed that something in the underground car park had leaked onto my window. I suspect a leaking pipe from one of those overhead fire extinguishers. The wipers and spray didn't get rid of it so I drove home and whipped out the car shampoo and cloth. I also noticed that it was all over my roof. Gave the roof and window a wash but still no joy. Went inside and got some Simoniz window cleaner and it still wouldn't come off, so I grabbed a bathroom scourer (with the white gentle pads) and it still won't come off. Any suggestions?
