  1. In reality probably nearer 4-5 thousand possibly more, this is just a estimate based on my guess of roughly 8 to 1 ratio of j-spec to uk-spec mkivs. However this is based on no fact, so could be completely wrong.
  2. Virgin 50meg if you can get it, completely uncapped and you will actually achieve 50meg most of the time even at peak times.
  3. Exactly! Leave your brain at the door action. Definitely some guilty pleasure to be had though. Storyline was pretty thin on the ground(was it ever going to be anything else?) but the action was superb fun, especially the bit with Statham and Lee working together. Oh and the aeroplane part was:cool: Definitely worth a watch.
  4. Funny Love the way he disguised it:p
  5. Well some are targeted on open/shut cases. Easy ones being using mobile whilst driving, no seatbelt etc. Good to see they have their priorities right. Well done for warning the woman & the police, many wouldn't.
  6. I'm sure I've got some pictures as well, naked ones too! read: pre beard:p
  7. Don't worry I remember the days when you were NA and I had the power:p Looks like you had a lucky escape there Alex. Really poor show especially as it was someone off an owners club. I'll be doing the opposite in the near future: 200sx back to supra twin turbo, got a couple more drift days this year before that happens though.
  8. I've noticed the saying under my name has changed since starting this thread, think one of the mods is bored:p
  9. 1. HateEvent 2. Suprarider 3. Monsween 4. marcAB10 5. drift_bear 6. St3ven1 How about Friday the 6th August? Would it be an occasion such as curry & cars or more along the lines of curry & beers:eyebrows:
  10. Loving the Kerry King effort:D
  11. I'd be up for this, if you don't mind me tagging along in my Datsun! From Portlethen as well, so possibly Preston and myself could convoy into Aberdeen.
  12. Ah yeah the flames, I'm actually a six year old child inside!
  13. Not sure If you'd recognise me? I was at the Supra/Skyline meet a couple of years ago(in my black supra), that went from macro car park to St Cyrus where we had masses of food and blocked off the road into St Cyrus all in the aid of some photographs:D
  14. The Datsun/Drift machine/Flamethrower:D
  15. Stand looked fantastic guys, seemed too have a much higher standard of finish/preparation that most of the (women)other clubs. Did any of you guys manage to pick up any awards if there were any?
  16. Spotted Drift_bear getting beat by some Datsun Then promptly getting beat by MarcAB10 Well played guys, topped off a good day.
  17. Saw the advert earlier on in the evening, checked the sky listings and didn't see anything about it, then duly forgot about it. Seen them at least five times, first time was roughly nine years ago when there were still five of them. Compared to when I last seen them, they are lacking something(two members of the band I know). Seemed to gel much better and were enjoying their music and performances more as a band back then. Whereas now they just release an album for the sake of it IMO. Don't get me wrong, I love koRn, they are one of my favourite bands. I just don't like being disappointed when they release new material that isn't up to par.
  18. Best music apps I've found: Last FM: Like spotify, but without adverts. Only downside is you can't choose an exact song, just the artist or genre. It then plays similar music to what artist/genre you have entered. Music Wizard: Allows you to download almost any song straight to your desire for free, you don't even need an account. Superb app, give it a try. Both are available from the market.
  19. http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/canon-ixus-100-is-black-compact-digital-camera-12-1-mp-compact-camera-case-06463946-pdt.html Genuine good camera for the money, not like the usual stuff they have on offer. 12MP, HD video, 3x optical zoom, view finder, digic 4 image processor.
  20. A priest is checking into a hotel when he says to the concierge: I hope the porn channel in my room is disabled. The concierge replies: No, it's just regular porn you sick bastard.
  21. To be honest you probably won't notice a difference, as the component cable can carry a 1080i signal. HDMI(high definition multimedia interface) can carry 1080p but as the tv is only hd ready ie. 720p/1080i max resolution then the picture will be the same.
  22. I know where you are coming from Geo, I am constantly disappointed with the picture quality at the cinema. Especially when compared to watching a blu ray. The cinema is dedicated to showing films, so you would expect a better quality picture that what you can now achieve at home. It also seems to me like the cinema is running at 50hz, I always notice lots of judder during panning shots. Still won't stop me going to see Iron Man 2.
  23. LED's Really? Firstly, just to clear this up, an LED tv is still an LCD panel, it's only LED backlit. Therefore it still has the same traits as any other LCD tv. For example the motion handling of the LED tv can be poor in some instances; watching planet earth on blu-ray, very visible deterioration in the picture quality when the action on screen is fast moving. A visible halo effect around the fast moving objects on the screen can be seen as the LCD panel cannot react fast enough, very disappointing for what is usually a £700+ tv. Also, when it comes to light foreground images with a dark background(end credits for example), instead of the writing being white, it is distinctly grey. This is the same for all colours, not just black on white. Also SD viewing via freeview can be poor. The LED tv's are a clever marketing campaign, focusing on the darkest blacks with detriment to other attributes of the tv. Looks good though. IMHO, Samsung: jack of all trades, master of none! Your decision should be based on what you actually use your tv for: be it high definition gaming and sport or just freeview (SD). If you use it for HD tv, action movies, football, xbox, ps3, then plasma is the way to go. There are several misconceptions about plasma tv's, almost all of which have no relevance to current plasma tv's. For example screen burn isn't an issue on a good quality plasma tv. If your just looking for something for the bedroom that'll only be used for SD viewing then a LCD will suffice. IMO something like a Panasonic G10 plasma will give you excellent motion handling, stunning HD picture aswell as having a much better SD picture quality, I would choose this over any LED(LCD) tv. Whatever you choose, go and actually see it working. And I don't mean watching a store demo, get a blu-ray or HD tv working on it. Just ask the assistant they should be able to do this for you.
