It is ASCII text which has been converted into binary. It says: Top Gear reminder It's the last in the series and it's on at 20:00

Whats tired about the bronze one? Looks good to me.

There is always the classic "Your mum didnt complain last night."

I have stock uk wheels and stock uk suspension and with the car at 0.9 bar I will only loose traction in 1st if its pouring with rain/icy/loose surface. If its just damp it spin.

Opera all the way

Did you notice any symptoms before it failed? Squeeling or creaking sound perhaps?

Mine is just starting to bubble on the a-pilar by the windscreen. I think it would be a windscreen off job to fix it

Might be hard to return it without a reciept. Must be worth asking if they keep a sales record. Perhaps you could dig out your old bank statement so you can prove you bought it/spent the money there?

It might be better if there was a "Mines a J spec" option as at least then you could work out rougly the ratio of models.

I have always thought it was because the real hardcore racers/petrol heads will prefer manuals and I assume they have a higher accident rate. It may also be that with all cars automatics have less accidents then manuals and this is reflected in the premium.

When I was looking to buy I did quotes on both UK/import 6 speeds and autos. Automatics came out nearly 10% cheaper while imports were 260% the cost of insurance on a UK car.

Ive got a 02 tdci focus and no matter how hard I try I cannot get less than 40 mpg. If I was gentle with it I think 50+ mpg would be possible. It's not fast but it pulls well and is a capable car. 115hp and 185 ft-lbs.

Thats brilliant. Lucky he only ended up with a bloody nose though.

With vmware it doesn’t matter if the host operating system is 64 or 32 bit you can run either. What does matter is the physical cpu. you can run a 32 bit version of vmware on a 64 bit cpu but you cant run a 64 bit version on vmware on a 32 bit cpu. vmware is designed for x86 and sparc is a different architecture. If you had a x86 version of solaris it should run but I don’t know if it’s supported or not.

I would be quite concerned if a laptop got hot enough to burn you. Surely thats a fire risk? Especially if left on and somone chucks a coat over it.

im about 20 miles north of brighton but I do get down that way sometimes.

Alot of it is social engineering or common sence. If they have managed to log an email or hack a site which has a password which can be linked to you or your email then its likely you used the same password for other things, paypal, ebay etc. Also if your username is John_smith then they may try things like john/smith or smith1982 With sites like facebook and bebo out there people are putting more and more personal details online and when they know your name, dob, or location and intrests guessing a password becomes alot easier. Best thing to do is have random passwords with letters and numbers. Dont use the same password for every site. That way at worst if a password is compramised it only lets them into one thing.

I actually quite like it.

You would hope it would be opt in or at the very least a freephone number. Glad not to be sky customer anymore.

Its a shame its such a pain to change. I heard some squeeling the other night when I started the supra and did wonder if it was the crank pulley. It's not done it since though. Is it something you could get any old garage to do? Or travel to a specialist?

Same here. Might open a bottle of wine.

Im not sure you can polish aluminium. Its very reactive and forms a dull silver coat of aluminium oxide in only a few minutes. Maybe it could be poished and coated?

If you can afford a bit more look at the lenovo thinkpad laptops. Expensive but tough as anything. I've dropped mine onto a concrete floor a few times and it's still fine. They also have the best built in speakers I have heard in a laptop. Battery life is good too, my bog standard 6 cell can go for 4 hours watching a DVD. http://www.pc.ibm.com/uk/thinkpad/

I have had a few people ask about it at the petrol station etc. The supra really is a timeless design and the only give away is the reg number; I really need a private plate to hide the age.
