Some HDTV demo's http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/content_provider/film/ContentShowcase.aspx

Just ordered from the US Terminator 2 Extreem Edition on HDTV to play on my PC. I have seen a video clip of it on the Microsoft web site and it has an incredibly crisp and clear picture.

My m8 picked up a rx7 twin turbo for 1.5k needs work doing on it though. A good one with rebuilt engine cost can cost 7K. If I was making the decision for you it would either be a short wheel base ZX TT or a skyline r32gtr.

Ok guys thanks for comments. I have decided to go with Carol Nash for £210. They told me my car had to be year 1991 or older to have an agreed value and its 92. Strange as Heritage would agree a value and they use the same underwriter (Chaucer) as Carol Nash! I have often thought if these agreed valuations are worth the paper they are written on.

Heritage quote: £460 fully comp with £200 excess. Limited to 5000 miles per year. Agreed value of £4000. Inclues selected mods. Carol Nash: £210 fully comp with £200 excess. Limited to 5000 miles per year. NO agreed value ie book price. Includes selected mods. Carol Nash is more than half the price of Heritage but with no agreed value so not sure what to do! Can anyone tell me the book price for a UK spec TT manual in good/very good condition please. P.S what would you do?

I have just phoned them and they wont cover the zed on classic policy.

Just goes to show it not all bhp that counts (although it counts for a lot) but a good suspension and tyre setup is esential, lessons to be learned.

Excellant times for stock turbo's. How does he manage to launch so well in that vid?

Your paying £19.99 for 10mb 24/7? Blueyonder want 35 notes just for the 10mb service! I think I will have to give them a bell lol.

Limited to 1gb a month eh? I download 1gb in an evening! Cant wait for blueyonder to upgrade my conection to 10mb, and its unlimited usage!

On Monday driving torwards hospital. I was in a white van flashes my headights.

I use FF now and think it is better than IE. It doesn't let half the spy crap that IE does and also blocked some sort of virus, and on that same page IE let it through and Avast has to stop it.

LOL I cringed when I saw the video but then after reading the site the xbox was bought with donations so if they want their hard earned money spent on smashing up a 360 then so be it! I see they already have enough donations for smashing up the new Sony PS3 when it comes out lol.

I think your "proof" in question came from the realms of santa and pixies.

Now I remember Anh, thought I recognised the name. Its the same bloke who was making outlandish BHP claims about the US version of the Supra. If I remember correctly he put up dyno graphs that he got from the net and claimed they were genuine BHP readings for the US Supra when in fact they were nonsense. I don't think you opinion is worth much on this forum Anh. Back on topic, I think the z32 was a supercar in its day, but now up against the current crop of 500bhp+ supercars that you can thrash day in and day out with no probs and handling to match, I think the z32 is no longer a supercar within this comparison. IMO.

Very interesting article. That really does put things into perspective.

I get 6.5psi when off.

455rwhp is a lot of power imo, I make that 546 at fly! What is you spec?

Thanks for that! I have just downloaded and installed the cameras in my POI just need to take it for a test drive. Good job I spotted this post because I was going to down load it from TomTom, you just saved me £50 :bow: Ok, can I get the voices for free? Darth Vader or kit sounds good. Cheers!

I have the 300 top bit of kit. I was going to get the speed camera update from the tomtom web site for £47. Where can I get it for free then? Cheers.

Yeah consoles are great for the first couple of months then the PC just makes them look like somthing from the stone age when new GFX cards come out. Consoles just can't keep up with current technology.

Yes m8 I downloaded the High Definition Video from the microsoft web site. COD2 on 360 is very good don't get me wrong, but it just didn't have the detail of the PC version. Mine you The GFX card in my PC is pretty good its a geforce 7800GT that has also been overclocked, and also a AMD FX 55 cpu. In the pc version you get the heat effect to and also a brilliant effect when you go in and out of dark and bright places, your eyes adjust to brightness there is so much detail in the PC version. Give the PC a couple of months and a GFX card will come out that totally blows away anything seen now on the 360 or PC.

:rofl: Makes me wonder how many car vids on the net have been doctored to look faster than they are lol.

My PC kicks Xbox 360 ass! Only compared one game tho, Call Of Duty 2. My PC Does have the edge on detail graphics. But for the money the 360 is very good value at near top end PC graphics and multimedia accessibility.
