 wats a MCE then dude  :-?

[TheBoy]

Sorry, MCE = Media Center Edition - a rather clever version of XP that acts like a PVR (as well as a PC). So in effect its a PC (in a nice VCR style case) that sits under TV. So as well as recording TV, it can play DVDs, XVids etc, and browse the internet, play games etc etc...

 yea right still no wiser   sky + does what i want it to do   too much techno for me  :-/

[TheBoy]

Media Center (yes, its american) has a guide and playback interface very similar to Sky+ - so its a bit like Sky+ for Freeview (does work with Sky as well - depends on your tv cards). So easy, even Mrs TheBoy can use it for the basic stuff

I dont know to much about the handling of cars, but the stig cleary had problems with the handling of the vectra as well as clarkson, and i imagine the stig is at least a competent driver, just my two cents

Its funny reading a similar thread on the "other" place, they all vote Vectra.

I would have the Mondeo personally, looks better & less in your face. Slower to 60 but handles so much better and more fun to drive.

Totally agree.  I had a new Vectra Estate for a couple of weeks and hated it.  Even with a 1.8 it understreers quite dramatically.  [smiley=shocked.gif]

255 BHP through the front wheels Hmmm!!! :-/

[tunnie]

Omega VXR, now there would have been a class car.

Take the 6.0 V8 from the Monaro, and wack into the Omega, rear wheel drive, V8 power. Peeerfect  

Then because Omega's are so Practical, Gas it as well. Be as cheap to run as Ford Focus on petrol  

[Big Rod]

So all we need is a totaled Vectra or Saab 93 then......

And an AR35, and a the electronics, then refit the gas hahahahahhaha

I can supply a gearbox or two!!!  8-)

You would have to reinstall the turbo though as it is fitted on the back of the engine. It would be amazing fun though.

100bhp per ton WITH a caravan on the back - not just ordinary cars but some warm cars would be easy meat.

Don't worry it is just that when you drive on the A30 through Devon and Cornwall the one thing you want is power, sitting on these hills red lining a 2.0CD in second and try to prevent it going for 3rd is quite tiring.

Now will an AR35 handle 255bhp?

If you're in an NTL cable area, you can watch it (and loads of other progs) at any time by selecting the "on demand" button on the remote.

I watched it last night - Jezza would still hate Vectra's even if they went and handled like an F1 car! Still, gotta say the understeer was reeeeally apalling. Also thought the argument over the Dodge Charger was really funny but Hammond is never gonna win coz Jezza always has the last word.

Best bit of the show was the three of them trying their hand at caravanning - bl**dy hilarious, especially when Clarkson set fire to their caravan while trying to cook
