    BROWSE THE NVIDIA RTX 4000 SERIES AT OcUK !!

    I gave up on the OCUK website and purchased 2 ZOTAC cards through a competitor whose site didn't have any problems at all. Cards still seem to be in stock in multiple places that I'm looking at, so doesn't seem like the demand is that high?

    BROWSE THE NVIDIA RTX 4000 SERIES AT OcUK !!

    Nvidia have the prices for some AIB cards on their own store. OCUK also have the prices of the cards embedded in the HTML code of each page for the card, but impossible to know if those are the actual prices the cards will be put on sale for at 2pm. ( For the couple of cards I compared the...

    BROWSE THE NVIDIA RTX 4000 SERIES AT OcUK !!

    Will there be any restrictions on ordering these when they go live, such as 1 per person? I'd like to purchase 2 or 3 of them.

    OC(UK) Host Review :-)

    Hey Guys, I've posted here a few times before - usually the posts get deleted because some of the admins seem to think they are 'promotional' posts... Anyway - I have been involved with Krystal Hosting for around 15 years, and there is a coupon 'OCUK' which has been active since 2010 that will...

    Who owns a Golf GTD / GTI / R?

    Mine arrived in the UK a week ago, and I've not had a call to arrange delivery yet - A few people on piston heads said they had a call within a day once theirs landed - I chased it and they said they (the lease company) have to wait for VW to give them the all clear and confirm delivery. I guess...

    Picked up something new again.

    I've never driven one, but can anyone else answer this question - is an M6 'special' enough to require another car as a run around? I know it's an expensive car to purchase, and maintain, but of all the cars at that price point, isn't it one of the most accomplished at being used on a day to...

    Car buying dilemma.. (with the wife) advise please?

    16 millions people don't even have 100 quid. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37504449 That doesn't make it the right thing to do :) Granted, you might decide that you don't need 10k, but if you're concerned about the cost of Christmas, then it would be best to get some kind of buffer.

    Car buying dilemma.. (with the wife) advise please?

    She's not material, but you're saying she will moan about a free 107 so that she can get home from work earlier ? That sounds very selfish. We obviously don't know your full story, but it doesn't sound like you can comfortably afford to borrow £18,000 to fund buying 2 cars that you don't even...

    Car buying dilemma.. (with the wife) advise please?

    So many questions... This is life advice not car advice :D Does your wife even currently have a car ? Do you need two cars ? Who is paying back the loan - just you, or both of you ? Are you stretching yourself to borrow 11/14k ?

    Who owns a Golf GTD / GTI / R?

    Not knowing the specifics of your deal it's hard to say if it's true or not - but often the lease deals are cheaper/better value than the PCP deals - it's just a mental barrier to get over the fact that you don't own, and never will own, the car. It's not suitable for everyone though.

    I ordered one on the 19th of August. Delivery has slipped a number of times already, and is currently the first week in January.

    Ask them to add it at the factory... I paid £125 for it on the order.

    Just ring up the dealer/broker and get it added on before it arrives.

    Car Allowance

    So what are you driving around in that could possibly cost 800 euros per month? I'd lease a fiesta and pocket the €700/month and retire at 45 ;)

    Who owns a Golf GTD / GTI / R?

    I see where you're coming from - I have to admit if I was spending £30k+ of my own money then I wouldn't be buying a GR. I'm only getting one because the lease deals are a bit crazy, and I have all my cash tied up in other projects at the moment, so the cash flow aspect works for me right now...

    Who owns a Golf GTD / GTI / R?

    The GR is a hot hatch, all of the other cars you mentioned are not hot hatches. They are family cruisers/rep mobiles. For example The A4 190PS does 0-60 in 7.7 seconds, The GR does 0-60 in 4.9 seconds. They cost ( roughly? ) the same amount of money - so yeah, you'd expect the bells and whistles...

    Laser eye treatment - who's done it?

    I was very sensitive to computers/tv/phone for up to a week after, then it settled down. Some friends were fine the next day - it varies.
