When you are looking through classified ads, whats your imaginary budget? We all do it, looking through pistonheads or ebay etc. even when not looking for a car. Mine is a meesly 4K, anything more than that i consider outside my budget and i couldn't afford that :o

Any thoughts on this one? On the face of it seems difficult to explain. Have any theories emerged yet as I understand that the turbine 'wing' actually went missing which isn't the sort of thing a crop circle hoaxer would be able to put in the boot of his sierra.

got the shock of my life today,a product that does what it says on the box :bow: its allways been a pain washing my black zed but now its a blast,this bit of kit leaves no drying spots at all and leaves your car as iff its been waxed. £20 licks from halfords and makes owning a black car a pleasure again ;)

Just to let you know it feckin snowed here today!!:eek: Jeez!-I just take my luck with me!:wack:

Hi, Just wondered what sort of quality you guys get from films and other things you've downloaded? Also can you connect your pc to a surround sound system and get dobly surround sound from downloaded films? Cheers Vijay

Hi, My current PC is an AMD Athlon XP2200 1.8GHz with 1 gig of ram. I'm contemplating getting myself a new PC and wondered if anyone has any recommendations? I have no problem with putting a PC together from parts as that'd be the cheapest way I'd imagine which is what I did with this one (parts ordered from Scan). I only use it for basic things like the internet, connecting to camera/MP3 player etc and working on various office documents. I don't do any gaming. I'd also want to connect to my TV to stream the footie or films. Is it worth buying a new PC or shall I just format it and reinstall windows? Will a new PC be a lot faster for the basic things? …

Hi, I had Orange call me tonight offering free broadband and phone calls but the monthly usage is 10GB. Is there anyway I can find out what I'm using a month at the moment? Is there any program that I can use which will keep a tally of my usage? Cheers Vijay

Hi, Is there a file for outlook express that has all your settings, as in email account details? Vijay

There I was minding my own business, when all of a sudden, a central reservation took offence to my car and assaulted it...can you believe that...:eek: Bl**dy black ice.... Lost the front then the back swung around...bang.... Estimate - 3.4K damage on 53 plate Vectra.... Still waiting to see if it's a right off. So I've asked my insurance company to take my council to court for not ensuring the roads where safe, i.e not gritting enough. I phoned the police who also nearly crashed into me due to the ice, and he stated the councils excuse, "The salt is melting the ice then the ground temperature being so cold is causing it to re-freeze".... Ok so her…

ive just managed to get on the net after ten days without!!! :rant: :rant: my router packed in two weeks ago, or at least it couldnt connect to the net, neither could my crappy wanadoo livebox. after 6 or 7 calls to orange tech support over the last week, there's still no internet connection (flashing lights on the front of the box) and theyve been fobbing me off with all sorts of rubbish about line upgrades and engineers taking a look into it and will contact me (not one call yet!) so i decide to reinstall and hook my old modem up and abra cadabara it works straight away!!! :confused: so can someone explain how i can be on the net with a good 6.4mb connection…

With all the different flu bugs going around, just wondered if anyone's included a long headache before hand?? If it's not a flu then i may need the Doc's lol, had a plane journey on Sunday and got a headache monday afternoon till now, probably cought something

Hi mate, girl just sent me a text telling me you were asking for the Garages phone number. here is a link to the site if it helps :) http://www.the-garage.co.uk/aboutus.php

An Obituary printed in the London Times........ Interesting and sadly rather true Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His …

Evening all, just thought I'd post up a few recommended software progs that I use from time to time for various video related use on my PC. All of the following I currently use, and find to be very useful, depending on what you want/need to be able to do with them. So, in no particular order..... For DVD authoring; Nero 7 ( I personally don't like 8 or 9, although the menus are in widescreen, I just couldn't get on with them) Excellent prog, relatively simple if you use the Help files, and check on the internet for further help on tricky operations. For backing up of your own DVD collection; DVDFab5 (http://www.dvdfab.com) An excellent prog, it bypass…

was quite gobsmacked by the price of some of the motors out there recently, some bargains to be had 350z http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/813274.htm Monaro http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/792484.htm Skyline R33 GTR http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/778592.htm another 350z http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/789057.htm but on the other hand, was shocked that these are still holdong their prices well Golf R32 http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/839321.htm Audi S3 http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/813417.htm some nice motors to be had for little cash, seems its just the big engine motors that are cheap at the moment, prob due to t…

I was in a taxi one day and he had this sat nav, i couldnt take my eyes off it cos as we were driving along it was showing real pictures of the buildings as we were driving past, it plays mp3s and has the ability to play it through the car stereo by tuning it into an fm channel, if that wasnt enough, it plays videos, pics, games nice size screen. A great, but annoying speed alert in the form of a police siren. All this technology for £99 Most of the picture maps are of major towns and cities, but also available are the european picture maps which is handy to be able to recognise a building or area you are looking for. Much better than my tom tom and great f…

i meant to post this up at the time but just wanted to say to all those into modifying your zeds be extra dilligent and thoughtful with the mods you do esp to brakes, wheels, suspension set up etc...a man was recently found guilty for carrying out mod's that sadly resulted in a fatal crash (killing his own kids)...the key issues in court were the work to the car which he had done himself...this work put the car out of spec and rendered it un-roadworthy he was prosecuted on that basis by the police/cps...he will be sentenced later

"The better your brakes are, the quicker you'll be able to go. " I have just read this on another forum. I know it's early in the morning and I can't sleep but it just doesn't seem right to me.

has anybody any views on these? they are getting VERY cheap at the moment and i am on the verge of considering one. currently got the Griff 500 so i know it would be a large step down on power, noise, looks and quirkyness but the advantages are reliability, could use as daily driver and...? now i have started browsing, im rather torn!
