  1. Evening all, I hope that I find you all well? I've had a nose through the forum, but couldn't find the answer, so I'm hoping that you can help. My Superb has now done 72000+ miles and I strongly suspect that the front shock absorbers have worn out as the ride isn't as good as it was and the wheels feel like they're rattling around under breaking and over bumpy roads. So, I plan to head off to ATS Euromaster tomorrow to get them sorted, but was after an idea of a) how much I should expect to pay, (I'm thinking £175ish) and whether another garage or KwikFit would be a better idea than ATS Euromaster? Many thanks, Chaos
  2. Woohoo, good stuff Chris, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist posting pictures! Looks great. Nice colour and I do like the new red Fiat badge. Tasty wheels too. Chaos
  3. Delivered on 15/03/04 and just approaching 47,000 miles, just fitted second set of front tyres - but have just discovered that the front wishbone arms are worn, so back to the dealer next week!
  4. Thanks for the updates, all, good to keep an eye on how it's being used and policed Cheers, Chaos

  7. Ooops, double bugg@r... couldn't have made tonight in the end either. Chaos reigns...
  8. Many apologies for my absence this evening, hope that it went ok. This is the first time I've been near a PC today, so unfortunately I couldn't leave a note earlier. All the best, Chaos
  9. Yeah, I think it will, especially since they announced that despite being funded by American money that they are going to use the British cast. I'm also hoping that with Doug Naylor at the helm, that it won't turn into a US sentiment / action / effects film, and that it stays focused on what was good about Red Dwarf, i.e. the characters and the comedy. www.reddwarf.co.uk has some info on it, including : Red Dwarf - The Movie may be shot in Australia. Preliminary design work is currently underway. Pre-production proper will begin in mid-July, and shooting is slated for January 2005. Can I just say at this point though mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Chloe Annett... Chaos
  10. I thought it was Wireless Fidelity but invented to sound like HiFi... This is from http://wi-fiplanet.webopedia.com/TERM/w/Wi_Fi.html Short for wireless fidelity and is meant to be used generically when referring of any type of 802.11 network, whether 802.11b, 802.11a, dual-band, etc. The term is promulgated by the Wi-Fi Alliance. Any products tested and approved as "Wi-Fi Certified" (a registered trademark) by the Wi-Fi Alliance are certified as interoperable with each other, even if they are from different manufacturers. A user with a "Wi-Fi Certified" product can use any brand of access point with any other brand of client hardware that also is certified. Typically, however, any Wi-Fi product using the same radio frequency (for example, 2.4GHz for 802.11b or 11g, 5GHz for 802.11a) will work with any other, even if not "Wi-Fi Certified." Formerly, the term "Wi-Fi" was used only in place of the 2.4GHz 802.11b standard, in the same way that "Ethernet" is used in place of IEEE 802.3. The Alliance expanded the generic use of the term in an attempt to stop confusion about wireless LAN interoperability. Chaos
  11. So, this evening on the way home from Bracknell to Chaos Towers, here in Bordon-on-the-Ridiculous, I passed through Frimley, and M3 J4. Having happily blasted down the Blackwater Valley Relief Road (oo-er), with a Scooby, some kind of mega sorted Polo GT and a Toyota of some sort, when we all blasted past a 3 series Beemer who seemed to get upset at being passed en masse, and pulls out to follow us. The Toyota broke off to join the M3, but at the next roundabout which is actually 4 lanes across as it joins the M3, A331, and the A325... lined up sat at the line with the lights at red are the Polo, the Beemer, me and the Scooby... green light... the Polo and the Scooby get away clearly before me (sorry all, but I did catch up quickly) leaving the Beemer behind all three of us. So, Polo breaks off and heads off the 325 slip road, meaning it's the Scooby and me side by side as the road becomes 2 lanes... the Beemer is behind us, weaving from one lane to the other and back again, so I gently pull in behind the Scooby as we approach traffic in the inside lane, as we clear that car, the Beemer pulls into the inside lane, in an attempt to undertake the Scooby and I... no way, we accelerate together making sure he gets stuck in his lane until he has to brake to avoid a car on the inside... again once clear, I pull into the inside lane, again Mr. Beemer one lane and the other... it was like ballet though, as though there was some kind of telepathy between the Scooby and I, that though we had cars of different marques there was no need for us to settle our differences, we just both knew that we had one common enemy... an unspoken bond between motorists... it was beautiful. The Beemer quickly gave up leaving the Scooby and I to have a very quick, and very courteous journey home through the wilds of Hampshire. Chaos
  12. Adrian, Count me in for the Wednesday night, I'll make sure I work in Boringstoke that day, so I can come across and bore you all with my bog standard Furby vRS. All the best, Chaos
  13. Hmm, aahh, well, you seem to have missed my subtle irony there about Portsmouth... I'm afraid that we both know the same slightly less than salubrious place. However, I was really have a dig at Chris, as we both work for the same fly-by-night two-bit operation, although to try and cover the Portsmouth comment a little bit, the office is actually in Cosham (which is on the mainland and not Portsea Island!). ...and hello Scrutineer! Yes, I'm afraid that the much more exotic location of Southwater / Horsham where you live, in the heart of the Sussex commuter belt probably does explain your high mortgage, but it is a jolly nice area! One thing you can say about Andover though, is that it does seem an easy place to get out of... not sure that is a good thing or a bad thing? I live in a town shared by the locals, the Army (REME/SEME) and a RAF radar outpost, and while it does keep the house prices down, it really doesn't live up to the reputation that forces towns seem to have. I imagine this reputation is due to really busy army towns like Aldershot and Colchester where Army v Locals street fights do seem to be a regular occurence, but if Bordon is anything to go by, don't let the Army presence put you off. Long winded answer there... Chaos
  14. You wanna get a proper job, working for a proper company mate, somewhere exotic and cosmopolitan like where I work in Portsmouth, or really posh like Horsham. Don't be wasting your time in some back water in Winchester mate... and you know that shoddy outfit you work for will never come to anything. Otherwise, there's a guy called Noel Vanstone (yes, that really is his name), who works for IGS up in Frimley, who I know, lives in Andover, so he could probably give you some tips. Chaos
  15. The Furby vRS definitely has a low washer warning as mine has gone off quite recently... and it makes that ever so slightly grating "ping" warning noise accompanied by an orange light on the dash display. Chaos "piiiiiiiinnnnng"
