I suppose this is what kills MX5 ownership then, I had a lot of rot on my Triumph Spitfire, I had to get rid, regret it now!

Woah! Never seen one get that bad!! For those sorts of problems, is the chassis rail repairable or replaceable?

I clip my own hair, 3 or 5 all over as I am balding. It gets easier with practice, just make sure the clippers are fully charged!!!

After my US road trip, I was grinning like a fool driving the V8 Camara that we had hired, what a great touring beast. It had unlimited mileage and was fully insured through Sixt I believe. I think we covered 1,500-2500 miles in under 2 weeks. I want to do a US deep south music tour next...

I'm not a Porsche owner, but would consider these: 1). Given the car is worth £27k+ and parts/repairs can be quite expensive, get the warranty for a few more years of worry-free motoring and perhaps sell on a bit later. 2). Use the value of your vehicle in a part exchange for a new car, thus...

I replaced an LED in my instrument panel, yesterday temporarily as it's really dim, waiting for a set of wedge SMD LEDs to arrive, and last week, I replaced both the rear handbrake cables and did a full coolant flush/replacement. I might adjust down my handbrake in a couple of weeks once the...

Can't fault any of the Bilt Hamber stuff. I use Hydrate 80 to convert/treat the rust: https://www.bilthamber.com/corrosion-protection-and-rust-treatments/hydrate-80 You can use Dynax S50 to fill sill cavities, and other box cavities on your chassis...

I had to do the top mounts on my front suspension legs on my SW20, absolute pain, when I asked a garage to compress the spring for me they couldn't (there aren't enough coils) so I took it to a friends house and we eventually compressed the springs and I was able to change them. It looks like...

I was quite curious about these, I think the engine rebuilds are £10,000 if the IMS bearing fails. Bodywork looks clean, if you can get the underside treated and then coated in Bilt Hamber Underbody or similar, it should last a fair while longer. I don't think MX5s were ever undersealed in the...

Interesting mention of Witcher here!! I played through and completed all the Witcher games, and started playing Red Dead Online and Single Player modes quite recently. I need to play more single player though, the online mode has taken more of my spare time.

36 and playing these: Steam/Friends Red Dead Redemption Online (PC) Vermintide (PC) Among Us (PC) Star Wars: The Old Republic (PC) Super Smash Bros (Switch) Solo (PC) Doom Eternal Red Dead Redemption 2 Cyberpunk 2077 Outlast To Start Breath of Wild (Switch) Apex Legends (Switch) Outlast 2...

Going back a few years now, and pre-lockdown, as some of my friends have got young families now, but we were playing Catan, Dark Heresy, and Only War. I still have my character sheets somewhere for the Warhammer games.

Currently waiting for the Wraithbone primer spray to come back in stock, a few of my friends and I got into Age of Sigmar, a few months ago, bored and curious during lockdown I suppose! When all my paints arrive though, I'll be using contrast paints as opposed to traditional painting to get all...

I remember how much the circa 1996-1998 Packard Bell monitor flickered on the families old Pentium 120. I swear it contributed to my bad eyesight! Maybe it was a badly manufactured one or something, I didn't notice it as much on later CRT monitors. Did anyone else experience that flickering...

Currently using an M27Q, 27" 170hz 1440p. It really is a joy to look at, especially after using a non-HD previously, though I've noticed that if you disable freesync on it, you're locked to 120hz on Windows and games, so I keep it on and set my Nvidia control panel to adaptive vsync and it seems...

I'm waiting with baited breath for any new announcements for video cards from Gibbo. I missed the last one unfortunately, for the 6700XT which would have been a good upgrade from my 1660. Changing to a Gigabyte M27Q monitor and running at native 1440p hasn't helped and apart from a few games...

I have seen my 1660 GTX go for something like £100+ more than I paid for on a popular auction web site, but I would be a bit stuffed if I sold it, as I don't have onboard graphics on this rig and I do enjoy my video games!

On the back of my post about the benefits and drawbacks of upgrading to a 3060 from my 1660, (same 192 memory bus bits, more render shaders, cores etc, double the VRAM newer GA106 GPU etc.) I didn't actually get the 3060; 'twas a combination of stock lacking and silly prices. It just didn't...

Thanks for all your replies! Surprisingly, I was not able to find one to purchase, and with list prices of £349-£449+ I was quite put off after watching a few reviews!! So for now, I will take some time to save up for a 1440p monitor (which I might be able to use at lower settings on my 1660)...

I have just realised that I will be working late on launch day, so it will be a stroke of luck if I do find one. I am not prepared to spend more than £400 on the thing, I may as well wait for a 3060 ti or 3070 and save more.
