  1. Just remember than with OEM purchases some companies will make you buy a piece of hardware too.

     

    Or give you a free piece of hardware.

     

    I've had countless POS mice from Micro Direct ;)

  2. You should never be buying retail boxed, always OEM.

    Scan.co.uk , microdirect.co.uk , aria.co.uk etc will do OEM XP Home for probably £40-something + vat, or pro for @£78 + vat

     

    If it's just the disk that's scratched then you just need to replace the CD or borrow off someone else. Nothing dodgy about that but you'll need to replace with an OEM disk if your key is OEM, which it will be if it came with the machine (and it will say OEM Software on it).

     

    Or just download a torrent like someone else said.

     

    There is/was an XP 9-in-1 disk on the torrent sites. Work's lovelyly.

  3. GT4's are very reliable, as long as they're not fecked about with.

    Personally, I prefer the ST185's looks (which is why I had one!) but trying to find an unmolested one of those nowadays is like looking for the preverbial rocking horse excrement.

     

    Are they easily BPU'd ? Injectors and turbos happy to have the boost raised slightly like the Supra, or should they be left well alone?

  4. Need nice car to replace aging 318i, which unfortunately we're spending £140 on for MOT tomorrow anyway :rolleyes:

     

    Must have power, ideally 6 or more cylinders, although turbo 4cl is nice, as would be an S2000 ;)

     

    Must be less than £4,000 though.

     

    Alfa GTV 3.0 V6 with teledial wheels and aerokit is lovely, worrying engine/cambelt stuff but other than that super, just aren't any at right price on the trader except for a cat-D one :(

     

    Really want something small and sexy like the GTV, but needs back seats, so Spider, S2000, SLK etc are no good (and too expensive anyway).

     

    Any ideas folks?
