I agree, totally confused on this one! Otherwise if you really are looking for a daily driver circa 20k ballpark, ever driven one of these? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3199690.htm http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3277130.htm http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3275891.htm Savage under 60 I felt. If you want savage over 60 you can stick a Civic Type-R engine in and whack a supercharger on it... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3159145.htm Admittedly you need to be small, I'm 5'8 and still hit my head on the roof with a helmet on

I'd be interested in attending this Edit : Is this also just for club members? Trying to persuade friend with a 993 911 Turbo that S6 is the way to go

A friend had a cerbera, until the engine bay fire. Loved them since GT1 on the PS1, 450 Cerbera would've been lovely, just heard too many bad things from owners I've met

http://pistonheads.com/sales/3063122.htm As an idea? Otherwise hunt around for a Passat TDI Estate I'd say

Some really interesting stuff going on today.

1. How old are you? 2. Do you use the car for commuting? 3. Do you mind a limited mileage policy? If answer 1. > 25 go looking for a classic car insurance policy. Just search Classic Car policy on here and you'll find a few threads about it. If not, have you tried A-Plan? Specifically the Thatcham branch

So Johnny Herbert and Alistair Macqueen ? FFS we don't need cars like that. Gaz is the Mas quattraporte (excuse my italian) really selling that badly? I'd luuuuuve one.

Can you give me the price for your remaining dash panels and also if you have it the driver's side pillar panel? Also rear speaker grills if they're mint condition.

I have a set of the vortex generators brand new for sale as they're surplus to my requirements. Carbon twill weave.

Yep, but unless you can strip down the enclosure and check that the power is truly getting from the adapter right to the drive you can't rule that out as being the faulty component, rather than the drive itself. I'll PM you my email address in a minute

Grab something like this http://www.usbnow.co.uk/p42/USB_2.0_to_SATA_Hard_Drive_Kit_+_Power_Adapter_%28VE250/385%29/product_info.html Which is basically all which is in the enclosure, includes a power supply and you'd plug in what fits on the drive, the other end into a USB port on your computer. If it's not whirring up and you can't hear it/feel it making any noise at all then it's logic board is either dead or it's had a catastrophic failure (either way you're pretty unlucky unless it's been near a huge magnet). If it's dead basically have to do the same make/model and try and swap out all parts possible inside the case and see if it comes to life, or send it off for data recovery and assume position on the cost front. If you want Paul PM me the make/model (or a photo of the sticker on it which it should have on the shiny side hopefully) and I'll see if I can source parts and bring up with me when I come see you in a couple of weeks and see if I can fix it for you if you can wait 2-3 weeks? Or can post them up to you if you want to give it a crack yourself I can send you a link to a good how-to guide. Can then also be cheeky and send the cable/kit back if the drive's dead, it's only £13 tho and useful to have in situations like this.

Is it a 2.5' or 3.5' drive? Length that is... The interface look something like this? 3.5 sata http://www.allcam.biz/catalog/images2/allcam/hard_drive_interface_sata.jpg Or more like this? A 2.5 inch drive http://hardwarelogic.com/images/siteimages/upload/2010/02/23/3724lgp.jpg Both you can buy a cable for to plug into your desktop

It can do. Basically if this data is critical, it's not advisory, if it's something you can live without, give it a try. Could just mean that the power to it's gone. If powered up the disk should spin internally, causing vibration. No spinning, no access. If you've got a desktop to plug the drive into directly that'll rule out power supply (the board/ribbon cable etc) or if the board on the HDD has gone, which makes things a tad more complicated - basically having to find a 2nd hand drive of the same model, swap the boards out then put it back in.

The Freezing or cooking method is a *one time* method I would say, if it doesn't work do not try it again. The other possibility is that some corruption has occurred but the disk and your data could be intact. Paul, so no vibration (however small) from the unit when it's on if you clamp both your hands around it? Just want to establish if the spindle is even spinning. If it is you/others can do reasonably easy data recovery. You can dismantle the unit and put the drive in a drive dock and use numerous programs to see what you can recover - Daman on here may do that, I can also do that or possibly get you some programs to do that if you buy a disk dock (£10-15 odd). Programs basically skipping the file allocation table/structure of the disk and just reads the data raw looking for file header/footer information and then pieces the data inbetween together. Otherwise for a thorough recovery expect north of £300 and not a 100% guarantee. If this is business data next time buy a drobo box or some sort of NAS box which has RAID protection built in. Drives are cheap and can be considered a commodity item now, and also far less inconvenience to replace than losing your data. Edit : By the way if the drive does appear to not work when plugged in internally do not format it and try to write to it again as that drastically reduces the chance of recovering data.

Sorry they stopped making the mini before 2006... Otherwise I'd say go look for a pre Rover cooper they handle really really well Friend had a horrible imitation mini, I agree the pas pump whine is awful and somehow it was the most oversteer happy fwd car I've ever been in - may have been something to do with being Janspeed's courtesy car

Any particular charity? Or will any registered one count? Like cancer research or nspcc / RSPCA / hfh?

I've dropped the Mods a PM asking Without sounding soppy, there are some members on here which'd make it a bit less of a nicer place without, this being a prime example.

Anyone know if we can make suggestion for quite frankly, honourary members? And I thought once you paid 3 yearly memberships you became a full member?

This could be the video of the year. It could be a youtube hit. Can someone think of some appropriate backing music?

I've never met Dean, but quite frankly a top man for helping you out there CJ!

I will pay good money to the charity of your choice if you recreate this video when you decide on a new wheel. I'll throw in extra if you grow a beard akin to that one too.

Also the Ferrari centre caps? Wasn't there also a red one in London with a Ferrari rear badge?

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_Wiki Is the best guide for FO3 / FONV I think

Do we get to vote on these? Is there going to be a poll? If so I'm voting for the first picture in Jim's post, may be slightly impractical from a printing basis though.

There's a 480p version Chris, better than the 240p but still not HD
