    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    Thanks both. I have this notion that as I wide down from work and kids get older, we'll have time available to do a bit of european driving trips. Whilst I like taking my Evo or Impreza to the 'Ring they're not ideal mile munchers :D On the noise side, I can imagine the flat engine sounds a...

    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    Just popping in here. Regarding the Cayman GT4 - are the 3.8 and 4.0 both 718s? A quick ebay mooch shows a blue 3.8 at Scott Hardy for just under 70K (I like this one) and 4.0 at a few grand more. I'm assuming the 4.0 is the most desirable? 991 GTS and Turbo seem to start at about 80K...

    Helldivers 2

    I rarely play multiplayer games that aren't sim racing. I haven't played a co op so much since L4D2 I'm only Level 11 but that doesn't seem to matter too much other than what weapons I can bring to the party. Played Suicide missions last night which gives a noticeable bump in XP after a...

    This is why people are losing respect for the police...

    The police have to strike a balance with what they have to allow - the right of protest. With the safety of the public - or one individual. The police would have come in for even more grief if the officer in question had called for reinforcements for one man who was attempting to make a...

    This is why people are losing respect for the police...

    Completely agree. The police officer was damned either way. If he'd have just sighed and said "Knock yourself out" and let the Jewish guy cross in front of a Pro-Palestinian march and did indeed get himself knocked out, the story would be police officer fails to protect Jewish man from...

    This is why people are losing respect for the police...

    If the police officer had tried to be more tactful, the Jewish guy would have forced the issue anyway. Obviously there to cause a fuss and cry outrage when the officer tries to protect him from himself. Guaranteed, the officer stood aside and the Jewish guy got beaten up, the cries of...

    20mph residential speed limit (replacing 30mph)

    I haven't got a problem with it. We all still seem to be able to get around. You still get the odd cretin that drives too fast. The road outside my house is 20 but some still do well over 40.

    Had some dude shooting at the rest of the team last night. Really frustrating until he got killed and no one would reinforce. Only for one of the other members to kill me just as we're getting into the dropship. That was annoying.

    Rent increase question

    Hence why I've never made a claim against a tenants deposit.

    Rent increase question

    I've never witheld the deposit. One couple left with a damaged door from the dog and an unpaid energy bill - which I paid for. My deposits are £500 so hardly worth the bother to fight the tenant. Re - having a license. In Wales you do have to have a license of sorts and pay a fee every 5...

    The 50k 10 Year Project / Show Car

    Not including buying, I'm not far off £50K with the Evo - rebuilt from top to bottom, 560bhp. Impreza maybe half that not including buying, all rebuilt except engine/transmission rebuild 407bhp.

    How much crap do you have on hire purchase?

    If what I want to buy is quite a bit of money and I can get it at 0% then I might use it. Other than house and car, if it's going to cost me in interest, I won't finance a purchase.

    Dune: Part 2 (2024)

    There's a prequel TV spin off. Dune: Prophecy Watched Dune 2 on Sunday evening. I think it was very good. Would watch it again so 8/10

    Helldivers 2

    Picked up a flame thrower over the weekend. Was ace until I cooked myself. :) I tend to play in short bursts. Hour or so here and there. Had a spare hour yesterday so did a few missions. Had a great ICBM launch map with 4 of us on Level 5/6. Got a bit sketcky at times but we all managed to...

    Fallout TV series being developed by Amazon

    Oh, I see. Fair enough. I'll watch a few eps and see how it goes. 5 Stars from the Guardian almost reinforces what we've been discussing :) Why does the writer look like she's just lost her Momentum membership card?

    Fallout TV series being developed by Amazon

    I can see how it feels like that sometimes although in some cases, the story fits a female character better - Constellation for example wouldn't really suit a male lead. Personally, because you could choose to be either female or male in the game, the story hasn't been butchered to suit, so...

    Fallout TV series being developed by Amazon

    I'm no stranger to a good :rolleyes: when it comes to TV shows and a particular agenda, idealology, message etc but I didn't pick up any of that in the snippet I watched this morning. The first trailer seem to be winning at Woke bingo. The later teasers seemed to distance themselves from this...

    Helldivers 2

    Caved and bought HD2. Don't usually buy games until they're under £15 odd. Only played a few rounds. Had to launch an ICBM. Got quite intense in places and a lot of running about not knowing where to go. Had one lock up. No big deal. One respawn was in the middle of a big group of bots...

    Painting rotors

    Take the caliper and disc off and do it properly. When these things are painted in Situ, it always looks ropey after.

    Thinking of moving to Cyprus

    Quite right. That particular issue isn't just a problem for the UK. ;)
