  1. Have some vision Bucks! Your _dream_ car, an Astra! Look beyond man! For me, 1000bhp+ in one of these; Nissan Skyline R34 V-Spec II Nur
  2. Thanks for the advice buddy, I just managed to find a perfect system with almost the exact spec I wanted and have bought it. Specs are; - Intel i5 Quad Core 2500k (3.3Ghz) - 8192MB DDR3 i5 Dual Channel 1333MHz RAM - ASUS P8P67 Pro B3 Motherboard (SLi & Crossfire Compatible) - 2TB 7200 32MB Cache Internal HDD - ATI Radeon 6950HD 2GB Graphics Card I'll install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit, perhaps overclock it to 4.0-4.5GHz depending on core temps etc. and reflash the BIOS on the 6950HD to make it a 6970HD. Beauty of it is I can always SLi/Crossfire another (unlocked) 6950HD graphics card in there at a later date if it struggles with anything.
  3. Anybody here a computer geek/nerd? I am a self confessed but my knowledge is limited - I need some advice on a gaming PC please (desktop/tower only, no ancillaries)! Main uses will be playing games such as Crysis 2 on Extreme settings at 1900x1200 resolution (maximum) and also multi-tasking, 3D-Modelling and Graphic Design. I'm after something along the lines of; - i5 Quad-Core Processor (Overclockable to 4.0-4.5GHz) - 8GB 1333mhz DDR3 RAM - Radeon 6950 2GB Graphics Card Now where I'm stuck is what motherboard to get, power supply, cooling (considering this machine will be overclocked, and the GPU also) etc. Does anyone know of a pre-made bundle or something of similar spec? I've been hard pressed to find a rig that's quite right considering a lot of PCs are running the GTX 560Ti 1GB and saying it's near enough just as good as the 6950. Although if I got the 6950 I would most certainly flash the BIOS to unlock the 6970 shaders. I don't know what to do! My budget is £600-£700. Perhaps something like this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SANDYBRIDGE-CORE-i5-2500K-8GB-DDR3-2TB-ATI-6950-2GB-/310320867762?pt=UK_Computing_DesktopPCs&hash=item484090a9b2

    Smo_RZ - 17.08.06

    A short (and poorly edited - by yours truly) video of Sam Corser riding Freshwater and Ryde on the Isle of Wight, UK. All footage was shot in the space of a few hours on the 17th of August 2006. Thanks to James Quigley for filming me.

    2010

    Worst year of my life.

  7. I don't have a problem with it.
  8. I can't believe the idiocy and sheer negligence displayed by those dipshit Mexican paramedics. Unbelievable. RIP.

    Help! Fuel Leak

    It could still be a small hole in the tank - when your car is running the tank is under pressure, so the leak can worsen. In my opinion, do not drive it and call a garage to get it collected and repaired.
  10. It's snowing heavily on the Island at the moment - I left work early to drive the Rex home while the sun was out (for all of about 3 minutes) and I'm seriously glad I did. There will be a lot of accidents today. The drive home was nothing short of f*cking scary.
  11. It's been snowing on the Island today. I hope to god this storm hits us hard - 'I can't make it in to work today. I drive a 450bhp RX-7 and can't get it off my driveway'.
  12. Haven't opened any presents at home yet but so far the Mrs sorted me with candlelight sex in the bath, Guitar Hero III (with the guitar) and Prince of Persia for PS3. Love her!
  13. Going to meet the Mrs' family, then out to dinner.
