  1. The only time I wish I had a manual is when I think about going single turbo. Other than that I'm 100% happy with the auto, in fact I'd be thinking TH400 if they had a proper overdrive rather than manual when considering big singles.

    tomtom one v2

    I haven't played with the One or One v2, but all other TomToms I've used (Pocket PC, Symbian, Go classic, Go 300, Go 500, and Go 510) allow you to set the Status Bar preferences in the preferences menu, and you can tick vehicle speed in there.
  3. Oops ignore me. I thought we were talking about drop-links. Nightmare they are.
  4. The wierdest I've seen is one that was supposedly from Natwest, had my mums full name in it (properly), and she does have a Natwest credit card, and I used to use it over the internet on my computer quite a bit, but it was a scam website. I dunno how they got her name as well. Dodgy.
  5. Yes it does. It's only held in by self-tapping phillips screws from behind - about ten of them IIRC. I sold these bits from my spare door cards.
  6. Is that quicksilver? It looks gunmetal in the fosters pic but kind of different in the first ones. Very nice indeed
  7. The first figure to pop into my head is probably about £4,500, maybe a little less if you actually want rid of it sometime soon.
  8. I was thinking about 6.8. It's in the mid to high 6s anyway.
  9. Girlfriend just bought a 318i which had been SORNed for a few months. We just insured it and I went to the post office and bought some tax
  10. I think there are some good Compiz/Beryl demonstrations on YouTube. Novell were the first to demo it I think, since the creator of Compiz is a Novell employee.
  11. Extremely. Beryl is the 'fork' run by people who want more bells and whistles with slightly less regard for cleanliness of code/testing etc. Installing Beryl on Ubuntu was a piece of cake, once Xorg was configured for DRI and AIGLX properly. With your Intel card you should be able to do AIGLX I would've thought (due to there probably being an open source driver available), although performance might not be great. Newer ATI and nVidia cards have to use Xgl which is a full X server replacement running in OpenGL, whilst AIGLX allows OpenGL functions to sort of take over small areas of the screen at a time, kind of. So AIGLX is the preferred route at the moment, just that nVidia and ATI's own proprietry drivers don't support it. Older ATI gear like my Mobility Radeon 7500 in the Thinkpad is fine because these are supported by the open source Xorg ATI driver ("radeon"). Once X is configured properly, just run "beryl-manager" to fire it up. If it works well then add it to the gnome session startup list in preferences -> sessions -> startup items (or whatever it was..)
  12. Have you installed Compiz or Beryl yet? It's working a treat here through AIGLX and it's really rather trick
  13. erm, you have to install the nxserver as well.. and then do some importing of keys from the server into your client. Bear in mind that nxserver and nxclient are the reverse terminology of X server and client. e.g. in X, the server is the output display (your windows computer), and the client is the application (on the linux box) that you want presented on the display. With nx, the nxserver runs on the Linux machine, and the nxclient is what you use for connecting, just like Remote Desktop Client, tsclient, vnc client, Citrix ICA client etc. best to follow the installation guide or some howto.
  14. You're right. But they're showing as £70 on the website.
  15. [hijack] banned? What did I miss? [/hijack] Nice looking wheels btw.
  16. I don't think there's any difference between genuine Veilside and 'fake' Veilside. Made out of the same material and probably the same fit/quality as each other.
  17. Give it more than ten minutes...
  18. NX as a finished product wasn't free, but the underlying code was GPL'd so freenx was developed. I've used this and it's very good. As of some time ago though, NoMachine released the desktop version of NX as free (as in beer).
  19. The problem probably lies in your cygwin config. I assume you're wanting the X clients to use your windows machine as the X server? Have a look at NX. You'll be very impressed. It's on a par with MS's Terminal Services.
  20. I wonder why Envy/Miami-gt are so expensive for these plugs.
  21. I bought a large drum of meth and also nitro from 76 who are now part of anglo american I beleive (so the flyer said that I got in the post) http://www.aaoil.co.uk/
  22. I have a deal where I don't bill one of my customers for work and they supply me the Supra. They finance it to themselves and once the finance is paid off I keep the car. I suppose that's no different to financing it any other way really.
  23. I think in the third video (at 03:48) he put the brake disk on the wrong side. That's the LHS disk, but he's putting it on the RHS. Cool vid though! edit: apparently not, according to the stoptech installation guide. Seems strange though, yes?
