530d is very very good, quick enough, quicker with with a remap, loads of torque and superb on fuel. Don't bother with a 535i btw hardly any quicker than a 530i but a lot worse on fuel and not as much fun. If you want a V8 go for the 540i, it's a great engine - I have an 840 which is heavier but more aerodynamic and on an 85mph cruise I get around 26-27mpg, though around town it does high teens. 530d is a better bet as an everyday driver though.

I bought this back when I still had my Supra but just don't wear it anymore. It was produced by Fossil for MVP Motorsports with 1000 examples emerging from the factory, this being no. 493. The dial is based on the TRD 10,000rpm rev counter, making it a pretty distinctive looking thing. It’s 38mm without the crown, quartz, has a gunmetal finish and a pretty funky backlit display, which I failed to take a decent picture of. It comes in an equally funky tin and the bracelet has been sized for a 7.5-inch wrist. It was in perfect condition until I got the battery changed and now it has a few minor scratches on the caseback and a couple of equally small scratches on the sides of the case. Noticeable, yes, but not disastrous and on the plus side at least it’s got a new battery. Let’s get the ball rolling at £80 plus delivery.

Well it was free booze so I'm not complaining!

Well mine does have a licensed bar in the basement so post mass get togethers are alwqays lively!

Yes but I've come back from church which makes it exceptional!

As I am now, w00t

Come on, where's this video?! I demand satisfaction! And ghosts!

No Evil Ryu but don't forget to unlock Gouken and Seth too.

It's actually to replace the existing garage and that's all the space there is so there's really no way of making it any bigger unfortunately.

I had a look at those types of garages from a company called Garage Quotes and I think I'd be looking at roughly £2k+ for one of their lean tos.

Cool, thanks for that, gives me a rough idea of what to aim for. Did you just get a builder to do it for you or did you track down some sort of garage specialist?

Been trying to find out some costs but can't find anywhere that will give even a rough quote. Basically was thinking of getting a brick lean-to garage built, about 9' x 20', but was hoping someone might be able to give an approximate cost before I go ringing around and find out it's far too expensive. Any help much appreciated, thanks guys.

Ah, right,makes sense now.

Sorry, I'm tired, don't quite get that

I like the way the news stories hide away the fact that the, admittedly unfortunate, other driver had been drinking, smashed into the central reservation, spun his car and, depending on what you've read been hit or almost been hit by another car.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

IIRC even Akuma's unblockable Kongouko-Kuretsuzan Super Art from SF3 would not do 100% damage, so I'd like to think you're exaggerating slightly In fact, if you go back to SFII special moves used to do ridiculous amounts of damage - I swear one fireball would do about a quarter of a bar. The latest games have pretty advanced damage limitations placed upon multi-hit attacks so that each subsequent hit does less and less damage until the final strikes of a combo that runs into double figures are doing almost no damage at all. Watch a video of SFII and SFIII or IV and I bet that the same attack in SFII does a hell of a lot more damage!

Yes, not only that but I managed to pull off his Super Spinning Piledriver (720º on the d-pad) in Capcom Fighting Jam to finish off an opponent which is exactly what I needed to do to unlock a specific secret character. Was one of my greatest fighting game moments

Well, all the reviews and comments I've read have said it's a positive thing. You still need to be able to do the commands, it's just that the recognition is a lot more lenient, meaning in the heat of battle you can be a tiny bit sloppy with your dragon punch and still pull one out, that's all. Makes fights a lot more balanced it seems, as people who are less experienced, say, should still be able to hold their own. Very far removed from the ridiculous one button press special moves of CvS2 on home console. From the Edge review: "It’s impossible to overstate what a change this is for the series, and the fighting game in general. Street Fighter is now more about planning your attacks and responding to your opponent rather than worrying about whether you can physically accomplish what you want to." Combo system has been improved too, so the window of opportunity for chains is bigger.

Shit the bed I'm excited! Can't frickin' wait! Aavailable on PS3 and 360 - only £28 off Play, bargain! Looks epic, read all the reviews and general concensus is that it's possbily the best 2D fighter yet. In case you don't know, they've made the moves easier to pull off in order to make the matches more balanced and more about strategy rather than trying to pull off a move at that critical moment. Full character line up as follows: Abel, Akuma, Balrog, Blanka, Chun Li, C. Viper, Dan, Dhalsim, E. Honda, El Fuerte, Fei Long, Gouken, Guile, Ken, M. Bison, Rufus, Ryu, Sagat, Sakura, Seth, Vega and Zangief.

The giant one is the new main baddie, The Fallen - you can read about him here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fallen_(Transformers)

Prepare to shit your pants at the awesomeness http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/transformersrevengeofthefallen/

Don't forget PS3 also has a built-in web browser and, unlike 360, a play and charge controller set up included so no need to mess around with batteries.
