I genuinely cannot understand how Chinese sellers can sell a product (even used) so cheap with non-economy international shipping and be making any money, perhaps it's disgruntled employees just walking out the datacenters with bags full /shrug

Because like a lot of stuff coming out of China, especially LSI raid cards, they're probably fake

A lot of these groups are state assisted too, discounts on postage, grants etc.

Yeah, or if not fake then grey exports.

Is that the Battlecruiser variant that appeared in the Kobayashi Maru test?

 

[ajf]

Yes, it is, from the reboot Star Trek.

Yup, it's the redesign of the D7 class battlecruiser from the 2009 Star Trek movie.

They also make awesome models of the classic D7 class battlecruiser from ST:TOS, and the K'tinga class battlecruiser from the 1979 Star Trek movie (and ST6: Undiscovered Country, TNG, DS9, VOY, etc).

If you are ordering off a popular auction site, simply search for "connectx-2" then order by lowest price inc postage, and scroll down until you see two cards and a cable as a bundle. It will probably be from China (mine were) but despite the free postage should arrive promptly and with tracking (mine took <7 days) and with no import costs (you may get unlucky on this but that would just change them for super cheap to cheap).

Thanks, ordered last night and have the tracking info - hopefully won't have to wait to long

Did you pickup the switch in the UK or elsewhere?

Seat Leon FR 1.4 turbo 150bhp with the technology and convenience packs and 18 inch wheels:



Subject to viewing / test drive anyway

Excellent choice, they do look good with the 18" alloys over the standard 17s, although they do make driving in areas with poor road surfaces (i.e. all of Glasgow) a little less comfortable.

If you do go for the car you'll get lots of good info and advice here:

There are some good guides for changing out the interior bulbs for LEDs too, as well as the few rear non-LED lights. Makes a nice difference.

Who Moved My Cheese. I had forgotten about that book! The underlying points are sound but it's really *****!

Got a Openreach Modem - Huawei Echolife HG612 3B which gives me an extra 1 Mbps in download speeds over using a DrayTek Vigor 130

Er, was next day delivery from a company in Suffolk (only one I could actually find who had it in stock in UK).

 

[ChrisD.]

Can't pick it up yet though sadly.

The cheese one. It's wicked.

1 series M? Looks good anyway Least the vents are actually vents rather than moulded blanks like most cars.

Picked the car up Friday afternoon. Very pleased with it so far. Drives well, looks good and really great to have all the modern gadgets. My previous car was ten years older and didn't have stuff like parking sensors, led headlights and bluetooth media streaming.

With less than 10k on the clock it should last me a while
