  1. I bought an 80GB Intel X25 SSD from Novatech just a few months ago for a new build. I think it was on offer; I remember it being great value. I have the 80GB SSD partitioned as 50GB purely for the OS (Windows 7 Ultimate), and a 30GB partition purely for apps. Then I've got two 1TB WDC for data (including work, multimedia, application installers and ISOs, VMs, etc) and backups. Set up like this, my machine boots from POST to the Windows logon screen in 8 seconds. So I would definitely recommend this disk. It's rapid and it's silent. If I had had more money at the time, I would have bought a bigger one. But that said, I've currently only used about 40GB of the SSD, and there's plenty of stuff installed on my machine. I really like Novatech too. If you do buy the SSD, there are quite a few things you can do to squeeze more performance out of the machine. SSDs are very quick for reading, but not so good for multiple small writes. Consequently, little things like moving your IE temp storage to your spinning disc can really help.
  2. Reckon mine might come in under par. I need to get my TRD checked out... Still, not sure there's much point. Those exhausts seem to be as rare as a redneck with all his teeth.
  3. IMO, the tone of the BL is so much nicer than the Blitz Nur R. I categorise the Nur as "loud-and-nasty" rather than "loud-and-sweet"!
  4. Get the BL. If loud-and-sweet is what you want, then it's awesome!!
  5. PM me your email address and I'll send you the drivers that came with mine. On the other hand, they may be the same drivers that you received with the card, so if they didn't work, then these won't either. (Which would be odd, since we've got a 2-for-2 success rate on so far in this thread for the CardBus adapter...)
  6. This is an appalling abuse of Mod privileges. We will not go gently into that good night! 1. Dr_jekyll 2. Lbm 3. michael 4. Suprastar 3000 5. Attero 6. Lbm - I feel strongly about this. 7.

  7. Yeah, with my old number plate! (Seeing as my name is Darren is his, well, isn't...)
  8. It's absolutely awesome. Any car with 6 tiny screens in the back that you can't see from inside the car is just top work. I'm actually thinking about selling the moderately sized flatscreen TV in my living room, and replacing it with half a dozen 6-inch screens mounted inside our under-stairs cupboard.
  9. Mine appeared to die a month after I bought it. Black screen and completely unresponsive. It wasn't recognised by the computer either. The used the solution above and it restarted fine. I've never had an issue since.
  10. I think he's awesome. It's a long way from when he did "Don't Worry, Be Happy". Anyone remember that 80s classic?
  11. Saw you driving past the leisure centre / Shell garage at around 1800 this evening. I was on my bicycle, so no reciprocal spotting available...
  12. Come on... Con Air was a great film! But yes, Knowing was awful.

    Does this require knowledge of some other thread?
  14. I've PM'd you with some info that might help.
  15. Yep, I have a black one. You remember that particular date? Impressive memory!! I struggle to remember my own name...
  16. I'm not sure I've ever seen a Supra before that has NO redeeming features.
  17. If you're phone is jailbroken, then you can install xGPS which is free (and legitimately free too). It's SatNav software that integrates with Google maps, with full dynamic updating, turn-by-turn instructions, etc. I think it's awesome and does the job very well, so I would certainly never consider paying for TomTom on my iPhone now.
  18. I also had to put £75 of fuel in the Supe today. Might need to remortgage soon...
  19. My second Supra spot of the day. This one came out of Tesco filling station just ahead of me. I caught up and did some light flashing, but t'other Supra either didn't notice or wasn't interested.
  20. Parked next to mine at the Harvester. It was black, stock wheels, big "Supra" decals on the side, roof spoiler, and very, very shiney!
  21. I've found it great throughout this cold winter. I start the car from the kitchen and five minutes later I get in the car. It's warm, oil temp is 30-40 degrees, and the windscreen has defrosted. I believe this is a generalisation that's often untrue. With certain remote start alarm systems, with certificates of installation, it is still Thatcham Cat-1 approved. For example... http://www.clifford.co.uk/Products/Product.aspx?ProductID=750. "This Thatcham Category-1 system is one of the most advanced security and remote start systems in the world from Clifford with cutting edge 1-way 5-button remotes."
