As Andy said, you'll only be getting 1-8meg (or maybe a bit more if its cable) from your internet connection so it makes little difference anyhow.

Antera 309s again, best wheels available for the Zed IMO

haha!

Bout time you stopped going on holiday to hot places and stayed in old blighty to earn an honest tax paying living :) Afghans interesting at the mo as well, one of my mates is out there just now. The boys in the Marines are having a hard time though, as did the Paras and the other army reg's that were/are out there. Boys Doing some real work out there at mo.

haha cool!

Wow, thats a beauty mate.

Going to give that ago myself I think, just downloading DVDfab now :) On another note, that Planet Earth dvd set is incredible. We watched the first dvd last night and were completely mind blown. Cant wait to watch the next four!

Wonder what the reserve is?

Yeah, no what you mean Si, looks like a seagulls ar*e!

Just looking at the phots again, hope you don't mind me making light of it, I'm sure thats a speed camera post, bit of an over-kill way of taking out a speed camera isn't it?!

Christ mate, so glad you and the family are ok.

http://www.dpccars.com/car-movies/11-13-06page-Jeremy-Clarksons-Top-100-cars.htm I almost wish I hadn't watched it! After seeing people quote that various cars were in it I thought it was serious, full of THE BEST cars, buts it seems like just 100 cars that clarkson could think up. The Zed is there, but the next best car is the Cortina!! Lots of other good vids here though: http://www.dpccars.com/car-movies/car-movie-gallery.htm The pagini zonda is my official fav car at the moment. Anyone know where I can get some videos of it? preferably being thrashed to within an inch of its life :dance:

In the 6mths that I had my zed whilst living up here I didn't see one other. Seems like the last few weeks I've been seeing them every day. There's a blue one, a purple one, a couple of black ones, Whats going on?

!!!!????? You work in a guitar factory?

My fender strat is fduked. Well annoying as I was really getting into it again the other week. I reckon it needs either a new neck or refretting. I had someone 'respectable' set it up a few years back but it didn't make much difference. PRS for christmas please Santa! I wish.

hmm i need to check the companies now! I had a nightmare with BT AND PIPEX trying to get broadband sorted out at our new house. Took over 1 MONTH!! and stupid amounts of phonecalls. BT said they'd sort the line within 48hrs three times, and each time it was like nothing was done. Finally someone said it was because the old resident had a service that put equipment on the line at the exchange (ISDN I think). They the said it would take 5 working days to remove that. When I got back to them again it was like nothing had even been said, no emails, no notes, nothing, I was going spare. They then said it wasn't there responsibility and I had to go through my ISP who would put in a request to get the line available for me!! I went to Pipex and they said it was a BT wholesale responsibility as they deal with the lines. I then had the whole thing of emails sent and promises of 5 working days again several times and yet NOTHING was done!! By this time I was taking names of everyone I dealt with and had some ammunition. Eventually someone new who I spoke with let me know who the company was who had equipment on the line for the old resident BL**DY PIPEX! Eventually BT sorted it out after I gave the manager a list of times that she had promised this would be done. Then it took another 10 days to actually get Pipex broadband on there. Summary:! BT customer service are sh*te but at least its free 0800, Pipex customer service are sh*te and you have to pay for it! That said the actual line service from Pipex has always been good. Its an 8mb service here now, but I don't think its working very well, seems a lot slower at times. I need to do some tests.

I reckon its a case of what you want to do with it. In terms of thrill the Rx7 is all over the Zed as its so well balanced and the power delivery is mental (although I can only talk from a highly tuned single turbo). The Zed is the best of the lot if you just do road driving with lots of motorways and long distance. The Evo and Rx7 are much better on the twisties, the zed is a bus compared to either of them. I don't mean that in a bad way as I really loved driving my Zed, its just horses for courses. The Zed is more of a big musclely (sp?) cruiser as is the Supra. The Evo and Rx7 are twisty warriors. The Rx7 is a very good balance as a high tuned Rx7 is faster than a high tuned Zed, but will also nearly match the Evo in the twisties low down. You'll never match a low geared 4wd with a Rwd but its about as close as you can get. There are other options which don't get talked about so much, a Honda Integra DC (whatever they're called,sorry!) will go faster round a track than a standard Zed or an Rx7 in the right hands, plus they are reasonably practical. They are more of an evo type of car I suppose, don't have the super car looks.

I'd be more impressed if they wrestled with an alligator! In fact I'd be more impressed if they broke just three or four slabs without the spacers in between. You can tell he's been smacking his head against bricks just by looking in his eyes, too much brain trauma going on there. Not clever, and doesn't make them good fighters either.

You need the more expensive one on the left if you want to play any games. I don't really bother following hardware these days unless I'm buying one but in general you get good value from Dell. There afterservice care is excellent as well, I had a Dell laptop a few years back and was very pleased, it was very powerful if not the best build quality. There desktops are usually not the most well specced available so if you want to play games its worth checking other makes as well. Magic figure for a good computer these days that will play games and last for a couple of years is probably around £1000 to get the best value for money/lastibility. £1000-1200 will get you yesterdays premium expensive stuff so the best value, £700 will get a more budget but still very capable setup, not the best value but will certainly do the trick. £600 and under and you will need to keep the settings turned down on the games and it might not be so upgradable in the future.

I've got a BMW 525i tourer and its a beauty. Its a 1995 model (e34) was £1000 with 205000miles when I got it haha it nows has 212000 and pulls like a train (no joke, its like a sports car). I've had to replace the fuel pump on it which was £150 and stick a metal water pump that was £30. I really rate them as they are so so cheap and are also really easy to work on. Plus the engines commonly go to 300k miles which is awesome in these days of disposable cars. Dave

Rodders, I may be wasting your time here but I might have those gaskets from when I rebuilt my first Zed. I'm not sure so don't rely on it but I'll try to get to where my stuff is and check in the next few days. I can't remember if I ever chucked them. I also had the head bits and some other un-used stuff.

Haha sounds ddiiirrrrtttty!

Good on you kind sir! Can't believe the other guy would just watch it happen and buy his booze for him, surely you got to draw the line somewhere?!

Mental car, goes like sheet off a shovel! Probably not practical for the daily work run....!

I was in Poole with the Marines for quite a while, it was quite nice actually but just not enough surf (so I moved to Kent????)
