  1. I know valet magic. Will look up stonkin.
  2. Just wondering whom you can recommend with regards to detailing service... GTR is over due a full detail and nervous about taking it to just anyone. Ideally near Redhill/Gatwick area. Suggestions? Not Google!
  3. Videos should be fixed now.... was a good day, would depend on the age of the kids I guess (but they did have movies on the big screen for kids).
  4. Vuhl Jaguar F-Type 350z GTR
  5. Was a really good day out, weather was decent for most of the day, some rain in the morning which killed off the practise runs, but some interesting cars pitched up Unfortunately, Paul really struggled with what seems to be rear tyre temps as on launch he was just spinning the wheels, will post up a video where you can hear he has to come off the throttle a couple of times best time was 11.81
  6. Its about speed and least amount of time to do the 1/4 mile, GTR is pretty good at it ... besides the 750hp R33 isnt ready
  7. SPEED http://www.brightonandhovemotorclub.co.uk/brightonspeedtrials.php
  8. Exactly about the population - missus and I have been here for just over 12 years and the change is quite drastic, its at the point where if anything goes wrong everything falls apart. RE the power and blackouts, South Africa is doing rolling blackouts for different areas and has been for some time, with no end in sight.
  9. Anyone going? Im heading down to help a friend out that will be running a R35 GTR
  10. aperture made easy and they have others for shutter speed
  11. talkphotography.com is a good place to start I would start playing with Aperture priority or Shutter priority and see what the different settings result in. Aperture (f-stop) - determines how much light is allowed in via the lens.... low f-stop means 1.2, 2.8, etc means that the lens is wide open and light floods in. This works well for low light situation or fast moving subjects. Can lack quality and depth of field (so only a small percentage) of the photo will be in complete focus. High f-stop means 32, etc means that a the lens is mostly closed and only allows a small amount of light in. Light is how the camera renders the picture. Most lenses will have sweet spots around 7/8 - so reasonable amount of light, depth of field, etc Shutter 1/1000ms - determines how long the shutter remains open, again controlling the amount of light allowed in. Low is again good for fast moving subjects or low light. For static car - you need to find the sweet spot of your lens and stick to that, always on tripod, always with remote control, low ISO value, medium depth of field, etc. Since subject is static and shooting for tripod, you really shouldnt have to worry about the shutter speed.
  12. May have to make a switch to PC gaming.... Im really liking the idea of a single ultrawide screen now - all your fault! PS3 doesnt support ultrawide, but if its a very good screen, most seem to prefer it anyway, due to DPI and refresh rate. Hmmmm, decisions..........
  13. Thanks.... 250 per screen was the upper budget, so the ultra wide is touch expensive, but it does look good.
  14. Not yet... Will also consider a single screen if that works the same just need to be able to divide it up
  15. Ok, shortly going to be setting up a new home office as I will be doing a fair bit of working from home and need some help on monitors. I will be running Surface Pro3 from a docking station, so I can add 2 other screens to it. So looking at monitors I would like to get 2x 24/27" monitors, but no idea what to go for? Any suggestions? I like the look of this:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-S27D590CS-27-Curved-LED-Monitor-Black-silver-1920-x-1080-New-/131494306398?hash=item1e9dabe25e I would also like to be able to hook my PS3 to the 2 screens, but that is a nice-to-have VS the screens for work.
  16. Few more of mine from ASDA day, she is currently in getting R888 tyres, RS29 pads, new ecutek firmware and maps all-round.
  17. interesting thread..... anyone down south that can be recommended to do this? Considering it for the track MX5 and maybe the GTR..... since paint work is being destroyed by tracks, idea would be to keep it for a year and change it.
  18. I think in my haste, you may be right........ maybe not a replacement, but a road car for so the GTR can become more track focused I although, I may have to consider the standard V12
  19. Makes sense.... 4 should be good enough.... what are you going to do on the other 3 days of the week then?
