Re: Vandals

The third image is from one of those Costco Swann camera kits which I had installed temporarily until my dad installed a proper system but as all the Swann cameras were compatible with the Hik DVR we just stuck them on the spare channels. The night vision on these isn’t great but there’s so much in...

Re: Elite Dangerous

Top tip, at 7s time to target throttle to 75% and you'll never do the loop of shame again. :D I have 75% throttle hot keyed just for this. This. Never get below 7 Secs. Also the mail slot on the station always faces the planet, so if you can manoeuvre your ship to drop out of SC between the planet ...

Re: FTAO Northerners

Belgium is a special case. Nearly everyone there gets a company car. The entire country is wall to wall motorways, but they still don't have enough. Belgium has one of the densest road networks in the world. But don't worry about driving at night, they make sure the roads are well lit. https://i0.wp...

Re: FTAO Northerners

I guess Northerners aren't in a rush to get to their shitty underpaid jobs, probably down coal mines or something. It's funny - in the North if you finish work a 5pm, you'll be out the door within 30 secs. Whereas down south people just keep working, hoping their boss fucks off home before they cal...

Re: FTAO Northerners

I lived down south for 20 + years. I always let people out of junctions, etc, and they just sit there like lemons, as the fact that someone is being polite is simply too confusing to them.

So I eventually gave up and became a cunt as well.

Re: FTAO Northerners

So, I'm back from Northland now, so can someone please explain to me why people drive less like arseholes up there? Sure, lorry drivers still elephant race with the best of 'em, but, with only a couple of exceptions, the driving up there is 20 times better than the average encounter on the M25 at r...

Re: The idle dreaming "cars you want that don't exist" thread

When my sister had her Golf Rallye, she use to take it to Dubsport, who did a lot of twin engined Golf's and Polo's. Not sure if this Corrado was theirs, but if you're going to go mad, go completely off the rails.

Re: The idle dreaming "cars you want that don't exist" thread

Basically the best Front engined, RWD car that humans can make. But not a Ferrari Superdooperfast? You don't really need 800 HP and you definitely don't want the weight or size in the UK. I mean the Ferrari is over 2 feet longer and nearly 500 KG heavier, an SZ isn't much bigger than a 90's hot hat...

Re: The idle dreaming "cars you want that don't exist" thread

A modern SZ. V10 engine, full Carbon Fibre Chassis, manual gearbox. Basically the best Front engined, RWD car that humans can make. If you're wondering why I said a V10, well Alfa did make a V10, in fact they were on about doing an SZ replacement. But then the world economy hit the fan... http://ima...

Re: headphones

Again on the cheaper end of the £20-30 scale I’ve used Sony MDR-XB50AP for many years now. I used to get the Sony MDR series headphones (think I've had 3 or 4 generations over the years). I stopped getting them when the build quality went shite. https://harada-sound.com/sound/headphones/image016.png

Re: Elite Dangerous

It's a real shame that the PC / XBox One / PS4 players can't directly interact in game.

I find this aspect (open play) of the game one of it's highlights (apart from the griefers).
