General Discussion Area / Re: MV6 being broken on ebay c/w headlamp washers!

Ho seems to want big money for some bits, wants 20+ for a washer jet, can get a new one for 32 and it includes the part that bolts to the underside of the headlight.

I would suggest you forget all about the DVD bit. They are not that good and only use 8cm DVD's which cost £9,000,000 each disk.

Go for a Canon XM1. I had two and they were superb. DV in/out plus 3CCD and flourite lens. XSuperb cameras and quality is unbeatable without getting into DVcam.

Not that I know anything about filming of course. yes another string to my bow......

Clearly know nothing about formats

I pay 3 quid for a re-recordable disc...

As mentioned before, the ones getting the top reports are the Sonys which support DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW....watch the Panacronics, they are DVD-RAM and dead pricey. Often they dont come with USB ports but hey, its a disc, it goes in a DVD drive which is a hell of a lot quicker.

The convenience factor on them is great, instant access, DVD quality, most have dolby dig sound.....

.....the only down side is the need to covert them to anaologue audio when transfering to full size DVD although you can always not bother and simply drop the disc in the DVD as it is (the standard editing on the camera is very good !)

Ikea is also worth a look for cots etc....ro try second hand, normaly plenty of stuff in the local paper.

Just remember that certain items only get used for a matter of weeks i.e. Moses Baskets (the single most pointless thing we bought!)

I sometimes drive the Omega quite hard and the manual is much more controllable through the corners as you can lift to gain a little engine breaking and the dam think doesn't change up.

I can get drive the 2.5 faster through corners than the 3.0 estate which has sports suspension and a bigger engine!

What happens when in sports mode or you use the shift to make it hold a gear......can you throw it round corners faster then?

Neither mode truely locks the gear so no....

I must admit that on the manual I use 3-2-1 quite a bit to gain the economy of engine breaking and ECU overrun.

I think that because

a) I own an auto
b) I own a manual to
c) I am a mod
d) I do like to drive hard on rare occasions

That clearly I have the controling vote...!
