Did anyone see on the news the YouTube clip of the car doing 125mph down a motorway, they showed the speedo, looked like a Omega to me.

i think "ordinary" looking cherished plates look crap to be honest

i like mine looking like a private plate

 Please can you tell me what a private plate looks like, because they are all "ordinary" looking number plates, but on a different note, there was one in Oxford a long time ago which was "915 HOT" and the driver moved the letters around to read "9 IS HOT" and yes it was on a 911

How strange...
I used to have 905 HOT on a Wolseley 1500
I wish I'd kept that reg number, but i just didn't have the money to transfer it, and it wasn't made as easy as it is today..

Hope someone can help... :-[

Ive bought a new Acer laptop which came with Vista pre installed......basicly i cant stand vista so decieded id use good old windows xp.

That is until i found out i have a sata hard drive and xp wont find the installed hard drive as i need a sata driver that needs loading in the early stages of xp.

Ive looked every where i can think of too find this blasted driver,Acer website,googled sata ect ect and no luck.

Basicly its an Acer travelmate 5320 if any one has had a similar problem or knows where to locate the driver id be extremely greatfull. :y

Which flavour of XP are you using, I think you need one with SP2 as this has SATA drivers with it..

Yay sounds good!

Forgot about the snow chains... we don't have that much bad snow these days, well not while i've been driving, so never crossed my mind.

Be interested to know how much the tolls cost, if this runs into 3 figures then it might be easier to fly.

google maps says it's about 12 hours from the midlands, does this sound about right?  I might do the 12 hours straight, or swap 1/2 way with another driver.

Cheers


Tolls to Morzine cost about 60 Euros. Ferry cost about £80 return. With 4 in the car it worked out a bit cheaper than flying and less stressful,  no hanging about at airports, suggest you swap over driving a bit more often, we changed about every 3 hours. Takes about the same time as flying.

Guys,

Any of you any advice on driving to the french alps for a spot of skiing?  Anyone done it before?

I've never driven on foreign soil, but am not afraid to either, but driving a RWD car up into the alps does worry me a little.  Should i cut the crap and catch a flight or drive across and enjoy the trip on the way?

I know someone who owns a shed in La Plagne and thought it'd be nice to drive over in my V6 and not pay for flights or accomodation, just pay for food and bierre...  8-)

Cheers
Marc

Drove to Morzine in the Alps this summer. Driving in France was a lot easier than over here, much less traffic. Not sure about driving in the snow, I should take some chains..

Received this by email today, so I thought I'd pass it on:


Postal Scam - BE WARNED!

Can you circulate this around especially as Xmas is fast approaching - it has been confirmed by Royal Mail. The Trading Standards Office are making people aware of the following scam:

A card is posted through your door from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and that you need to contact them on 0906 6611911 (a premium rate number). DO NOT call this number, as this is a mail scam originating from Belize. If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will already have been billed £15 for the phone call.

If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on 02072396655 or ICSTIS (the premium rate service
regulator) at www.icstis.org.uk

Ain't progress a funny thing.

I remember changing a clutch on the Cavalier in about 30mins, no need to remove the gearbox it was all done by having a sliding first motion shaft which allowed the clutch and pressure plate to drop out from underneath the gearbox.

Dead simple and made a clutch change easy.

I wonder why they stopped it..

3, that's just being greedy... I use 2 and would hate to go back to using just one screen.

I assume you have the software installed for the Matrox card.
