lovely car mate. Should have come out the factory like this but we know that would never happen. looks better than the Golf front end IMHO.

Just to put a fly int ointment, I used a canon 40d for a few years and eventually got fed up of lugging a massive bag full of equipment and lenses about. SWMBO authorised a new purchase and after lots of research and a friends recommendation we got a Sony NEX 5n.
Got a good deal too as the newer NEX 5r was due out.
This camera does almost everything that the canon did and still has a full size DSLR sensor shoe horned in. The picture quality is amazing. Of course being a geek I ordered two lenses with the camera but I reckon you could easily get by with the stock zoom lens that comes with the standard package.

I went to phones 4 U to have a look at the mighty Z. It is a hell of a big phone. Almost phablet like in reality. I don't know whether the physical size of the phone would prevent me from using it at work. (Lots of outdoor work where sometimes things can escalate quickly!) I would worry about it getting damaged.
The Z has some sort if intelligent power distribution where it automatically switches power hungry hardware and apps off when it goes into standby. It's supposed to make a real difference to the battery life and you can customise the switch off criteria to your own requirements.

When driving in the rain, I love going under a bridge. All of a sudden the rain stops...........
And then starts again.
Dunno why but this gives me small joy.

I hate this design so much. I'm actually a fan of Jeep, and used to own a '97 4.0l Grand Cherokee - awesome car for the money I paid for it. Jeep have really dropped the ball with this one though. It's on par with Ssang Yong design, i.e. they haven't.
To think the original Cherokee was the epitome of rugged off road design, and spawned a million copy cats. Why can't they just re-invent the classic design?

So it's basically a tarted up gaming PC inside the box with added social network circus tricks.
Sony, I suspect, has made a very hackable gaming rig!

I never use my PS3 any more so not too bothered about this one to be fair.
The PS3 slim should drop in price a bit now.

There's a massive Sony Press conference taking place at 11pm UK time tonight to announce the PS4. There are loads of rumours and speculation about what's in the box, but the most common ideas are
Released Xmas 2013
Under £300
Not cutting edge processors inside.
Sony have really taken a battering recently so however it stacks up, it's got to be good......

As with everything else, police budgets on fleet vehicles is being reigned in and there's now a national scheme which all forces can choose their vehicles from. They have 25 manufacturers to choose from for specialist vehicles, but common or garden beat cars can only come from 4 major manufacturers, Ford, GM, Hyundai or Peugeot. They come ready prepped with livery, light bars and radio straight from the factory instead of the old method of supplying a white car and each force doing the rest in house.
The Met seem to get a lot more choice than anyone else though.

The Irish invented Scotland anyway. It used to be called Pictland until a tribe of Scots sailed over from Ireland, chinned all the Picts and renamed it Scotland!

If the VW UP! GT is released then I will buy one. I doubt the rest of the VAG group will share the spoils of a desirable micro rocket. I really hope Skoda produce a Citigo vRS as that would be my weapon of choice. I imagine the Up GT will be a strictly 3 door. Skoda should do a 5 door version to be different and that's the one I would go for.

I was a club kid between the years of about 1993 to 1999, the golden age of 'super clubs'. We used to drive around the country to sample a good night out.
Cream in Liverpool, Renaisance in Derby, Hard Times in Morely, Back to Basics in Leeds, Sankey's Soap in Manchester, Shindig in Newcastle, Rise, Gatecrasher, Love to Be and Bed in Sheffield, the list goes on and on.
The last big night I went to was Gatecrasher Vs Ministry of Sound at Lotherton Hall in Leeds. Then the millenium came along and spoiled everything, II got a responsible job and the clubbing came to an end.
I've been back to a few clubs for the odd night out here and there but as ever, the good old days were always bigger and better.
I still love hearing new choons on Pete Tong's show but I'm not even tempted to go out til daft oclock in the morning now at my age. Tgings have changed now as well. smaller venues constantly changing and people dont come out til midnight. Late bars and licensing laws killed proper clubbing IMHO.

This is also a big dog....

I used to be pittVRS due to me being Brad Pitt and I used to own a proper vRS.
Now, I'm simply Royston as I thought that name sounded way cooler than Brad Pitt.

I suspect these cars belong to a hire company. (Probably owned by daddy) there's another vid on YouTube with the same cars n registrations at Asian weddings etc. the 1BOY reg is displayed on a yellow Gallardo rag top in the other vid.

You might think I'm crazy but I like the look of the new Ford Focus ST Estate. Looks better than the hatch for me.

No personal experience, but I did stumble across this the other day on the Android market -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tfiver.obd2sound&hl=en

That does appear to be awesome like. Dunno about having the radio off for it to work though.

Apparently the ZL is not for the UK market. Sony are only releasing it as a lower cost phone in emerging markets.
I still like the Z though although I'll have to see how mahoosive it is compared with the piephone 4S.

+1 Lowepro, great for the casual enthusiast.

I disagree. The supercharger makes a sound like KITT off Knightrider. Give me a naturally aspirated V8 every time.

I agree with the induction noise, I used to have a carbon fibre induction pipe on my old Octy mk 1 with a dump valve. I was forever racing round meadowhall underground carpark with the windows down. Vvvvrooom Tschhhh etc.
The flap that Grr666 posted up is very similar to the sytem used by the Aston Martin AMV8, sounds like thunder when the accelerator pedal is buried.

This is a new scam from Eastern Europe. They fill the cash machine with gas then ignite it. You can see the gas pipes going into the machine before it blows up. There have been a few attacks like this in Manchester, Birmingham and London. Beware of funny smells when you get your money oot!
