    New gaming build - £2k

    Played many games over the years. As I'm getting older I've given up on all other gaming and have been pretty much only done iracing for the last 10 years and can see that as the only one continuing. Tried to get into real world racing a bit, but cost was a major blocker, so spending this on a...

    New gaming build - £2k

    Absolutely appreciate that things keep changing. The spec will be for now, like I said I very well might be putting in an order in Jan, unless I can't get the go ahead from the finance department in which case I will have to wait a month or two. I don't really have a preference for Intel or...

    New gaming build - £2k

    I don't upgrade often, so when I do I want to be able to use the PC for a while. My current cpu is a 6600k so that gives you an idea of when I build my last pc. For the budget I would not want to go above £2k. There isn't anything I would want to reuse from my current build so this will be...

    The 25% is what you will get in November. If I remember correctly the last time there was a bigger than 25% discount for renewals was several years ago.

    As above, don't spend any money, unless you ask for advice and people help you to make decisions, you definitely do not have to spend $66 to do a race. Do not see iracing as other games where you progress through stages. There is a license level, but you only really need to progress if there...

    Yes, you can run two monitors and it is worth it. The best method is to run in windowed mode and set the resolution as if you have 3 screens. I did this for quite a while before I added a third and it is better than just one screen.

    Audi owners in here!

    I've just seen the pictures of the new Q5, and disappointingly they are following the trend with the A4 and A5 to stick a tablet on the dash. I cannot believe there are people that like this. Do they not get feedback that it just looks like someone forgot their tablet in the car and does not...

    Audi owners in here!

    I've got it to work on my A6, which is slightly older tech, so we don't have the car finder. I've done it through the Audi Android app and directly from google maps. Are you going into the correct options to retrieve it when in the car? This is where I initially went wrong, I though it should...

    Audi owners in here!

    I know you are talking to the dealer, but remember if you go through the brokers you get discount on the Tech pack as well. I only added my Tech pack after the order was passed from the broker to the dealer and the dealer still gave me a discount on the Tech pack. Mine was a factory order so it...

    Audi owners in here!

    I got my A6 C7 Avant in July and I'm very happy with it. As you said the car has a very good spec as standard unlike the A4. The Tech Pack is worth it though if you can take it. I have the tech pack and reading some of the frustrations of people that did not opt for it I am very happy I did...

    Online meat - what to expect from this example

    Thanks guys. The reason I asked is I only received half of what I expected and when contacting the company they told me that is correct. They have since been in touch after I told them that is not what the website is advertising and said they misunderstood my first mail. I just wanted to make...

    Online meat - what to expect from this example

    So I am looking at this website and unsure what to expect if this is ordered: http://leanmeat.london/product/2-x-certified-black-angus-7-8oz-ribeye-steaks/ Would you expect 2 x 7-8 oz steaks or 2 steaks that together would weigh 7-8 oz(if you selected the 8oz option from the droplist)?

    How many days off work do you get a year?

    30 + BH. Can buy another 5, but struggle to take 30 already.

    Agree the tablet they stuck on there looks awful. In the Auto the gear lever is further back as it also acts as a hand rest to use the touch pad. With the manual gearstick it sits in front of the touchpad so should be in a similar postition to your car.

    Insurance and two cars...

    Although just a bit of advice, mirroring a NCB on a second car does not always mean a saving. I am buying a second car and got several quotes. The cheapest quote from the companies that will mirror my NCB (of 13 years) quoted me £900 per year for the 2 cars. Direct Line, which would not...

    I had a trackday at the Nurburgring and at Spa the other week. I wrote a VERY long report about how

    Just another one to say thank you for the write up. Enjoyed reading every little detail in there, knowing that I would love to do something like this, but also know I will probably never for various reasons.

    Car insurance - second car

    You can use it on any car, problem is generally speaking you cannot use it for two cars at the same time (I have heard of people that have managed this). Maybe I wasn't clear in the original post, but I am keeping the old car and will therefore have two cars to insure.

    Car insurance - second car

    My renewal for my current car is due in May. I have a 8 year no claim bonus and current car is 10 years old, so not worth that much (£3k). I am buying a new car which I will only get in August. If I do renew or take out a new policy on current car using my ncb then depending on insurance...
