    For single player...PS3 or XBOX?

    I'm going to finally get myself a new console but only really for single player. I live on a boat so I've only got 3G internet so multiplayer is probably a waste of time. It sounds to me from reading about that the 360 is more online based and the ps3 less so, although either way I'm probably...

    Ideas for something different to do the Student Breakaway in!

    Depends how much of it you want to fix! An old british sports car can rapidly go from running to scrap. Especially if you are in the middle of nowhere with no parts and if it was cheap. 80s is better if you want the lottery of will it/won't it. You're less likely to loose a major component...

    Ideas for something different to do the Student Breakaway in!

    Don't get a mgb or midget. Cheap ones are cheap for a reason! I'd be hesitant about any 70s british car (and I've got 2). 3000 miles is a long way for a cheap 70s sports car. Go for something 80s/90s. It might actually work!

    Spec my dad!

    He does like his audi's. His a6 although horrifically slow is nice and at least comfortable to sit in (I've never actually driven it). Something non smooth wouldn't be a great idea. He recons he could get 40 mpg out of his a6 (before it went kabooom! that is). I think left to his own devices...

    Spec my dad!

    Though i might fish for some ideas here. My dads in the market for a "new" car. He's got a N reg 1.8 A6 estate at the moment which just snapped its cam chain so that's destined fro the bin. He's not overly fussy really but he'd like: reliable and long lived (he hates buying cars) needs to last...

    School Temprature Advice

    If its that cold it is illegal for the teachers to be made to work (but they might have to actually complain). You on the other hand aren't working, so goodness knows. but on the other hand in my day schools didn't have central heating and were built from wire and the dashed hopes of a...

    TomTom V2 - £57? Alternatives?

    I mean the interface rather than the machine itself. Its wonderfully clear, but just not very pretty. I've never actually used their software but I've never seen it done on a screen shot. I was going to get it for my n95 until I noticed it wouldn't do that. Perhaps the actual units are better...

    TomTom V2 - £57? Alternatives?

    yeah but its not on the map view, its a separate screen isn't it? Its a deal breaker for me, all that info at the bottom of the tomtom screen is handy to have there, I don't want to be pressing buttons. Shame tomtom is so pig ugly!

    Arm Span Vs height

    funny you should say that.... Good job you mentioned it I think I'm due another scan. I don't want a mitral valve prolapse. At best that's gonna be quite bad! Or better still aortic dissection. I prefer my aortas to be...non split! Incidentaly I've got quite the ape index!

    Anyone done a B+E (car + trailer) test?

    Oh that's interesting. What if the weight of the trailer + load goes over the max towing weight of the car. I presume that's not allowed. Citreon only put a tonne (braked) in the book for the xsara estate (same as a 206!) the swines! An mgb might be a little heavy to be safe though.

    Why were you late for the airport?

    I seam incapable of getting a connection but that's a bit different. I've never missed the first plane, although I've come mighty close, but only on the way back.

    Converting a petrol engine to run on diesel

    BMC managed it. The b series came in a diesel version, I know, I've got one! I'm not sure how much the block differs but I don't think its much, perhaps just some mounting holes but I've never compared to my petrol b series that closely. The head is bound to differ but only in as much as there...

    Lace paint - a how-to

    Extra points if you use them as a stencil while she's wearing them. Textured buttocks are all the rage!

    Word of advice to you all out there...

    All I can think of is the loudest non return/pressure relief valve in the world. I wouldn't be surprised if there was on in fuel system somewhere, and it would probably go quiet if you used more fuel (nailed it). Although that's a bit of a long shot.

    Word of advice to you all out there...

    Did you wiggle and twiddle everything while you had the belt off? Feel for grindy bearings?

    The pinnacle of human achievement

    Have you ever thought...I like boats....I also like caravans. Unfortunately in this modern world we live in I no longer have room in my heart (or back garden) for both. If only there was something...something like a caravan...but at the same time like a boat. A man can dream! But what's that I...
