  1. Also, the 'remote desktop' web service ports most likely will be blocked ... worth a try though. There are a few on the web. Just download the web client onto your 'home PC', set up an account and away you go. Good Luck

    Snow adventure

    I found the Falken 912s not that great for grip in the cold. And the little holes I saw are actually wear indicators for 2mm wear! Maybe should invest in a pair of rear winter tyres - if there's any left in the UK...and second pair of rims.
  3. Just took me 1 hour to get home over a railway bridge hill!! Unamusing. Was using the BMW with new Falken Ziex ZE 912 tyres and in Snow mode. And I dropped the pressures down on the rears. It just got over the bridge hill but only when I gunned it and slewed sideways zigzagging. Anyway checked the tyres and noticed they've got evenly spaced holes in the tread - looks like they will take snow studs! Looked on web but can't find anything about this - anyone know about the Falken 912's and snow studs?
  4. I give mine a tickover till all temperatures are at normal every 2-3 weeks. And it's on trickle charge all the time - as well as work the handbrake! And yes, the interior does get a bit damp...

    Guess The Car

    Yep. The first three are fubar and the second group are well fubar....
  6. In Regedit menu EDIT>FIND>Display1_DownScalingSupported Job Done.
  7. Try: AsTray Plus 1.4.0 BETA1 works on XP...http://www.netbookfiles.com/983/astray-plus-140-beta1/ Else if you had an Acer: a1ctl utility from http://nodadev.wordpress.com/pc-projects/a1ctl/ might be worth a try too...
  8. Steve, Try this: NB. This only works on Windows 7 equipped netbooks. Here’s what you have to do: 1) Run regedit 2) Search and modify all values “Display1_DownScalingSupported” from “0″ to “1″ 3) Restart the system 4) Enjoy the two new resolutions: 1024×768 px and 1152×864 px Now, when selecting a resolution in Windows you’ll get the extra resoutions above. However, be aware that these tweaks might not work on all netbooks...
  9. Been there. Done that. New Year's Eve vigil a few years ago at a haunted pub - The Ancient Forrester in deepest darkest Ascot. Hoping for flying beer glasses skidding across the bar (as reported by bar staff) so I set up an audio recorder on the landing above the bar where my co-investigator was and I kept vigil on the floor in front of the bar all night. Must've dozed off as I was abruptly awakened in darkness by a terrible wailing noise around 0530 on New Year's Day. Noise got worse. And my heart rate went sky high. Till I saw a shadowy grey figure in the dining area bloody well vacuuming. WTF! The muppet was a contract cleaner gettig his jobs done very early. Worse - no smashed glasses near the bar area, and the only sound recorded all night on my mp3 recorder was snoring from my colleague... and a bloody hangover and thumping headache. Fun eh?
  10. Great!! How much and where's the website? Squid rings and Audi eyelashes. Soo coool.
  11. What's the best match for 6k HID headlights - Mtec 'blue' superwhite xenons or SMD LEDs?
  12. Doohhhh!!! And I was hoping this would be all I needed for the 6 speed manual conversion!
  13. Yep. Stretched is looking real good from here now...
  14. Look on the bright (Veil) side....the bodykit becomes rare and 'classic'. Only the elite few will be on the road
  15. Don't worry Lyndon - just wear sunglasses when driving the MR2. That's what my brother does...
  16. No. It must have been this one: or am I mistaken?
  17. Can you programme the needle act 'ballistically' - so has a bit of swing to it? When can I try one?
