This is the crux of it for me. I played all the Wingcommanders, FreeLancer & StarLancer and wanted a modern version and I remember Chris' vision for FreeLancer but tech and budget/publisher got in the way. SQ42 is what I had always dreamt off when I was a teenager playing Wing Commander 1 on...

Thanks all for the replies... I went ahead and booked it (paid up front + additional GPS) as it was one of the better deals compared to the other providers, NZ > UK exchange rate will fluctuate and we're in a reasonable place right now conversion wise, and the other cars where simply too...

The kids are 8 and 11 with 3 adults me included. Max boot space is only needed when we transition from areas e.g. moving regions and accommodation this will only happen 3 times in 4 weeks so not using the parcel shelf during this time is fine; the kids will share a check in luggage and two of...

This is the concern. When you read the reviews of various 'large SUVs' they can carry more than 3 bags yet the firms only show 3 bags max and this includes the estates. Does anybody know of any sites that may hold what vehicles are rented where? There must be some rental nerds out there that...

Yeah this has always concerned me when I'm doing long haul with lots of people. I've reached out to the company to find out if they can qualify what 'or similar' means, obviously it could be something else but you would expect it to be in the same class i.e. another 'full sized SUV'. I'm...

Estates are really expensive at the moment via rental agencies. Looking at 5K NZD plus for the same period as the XC60. They where my first choice until I saw the price.

Thanks, when you mean a dog net do you mean to stop anything above the parcel shelf level from sliding in to the back seats? The dimensions are fab though as that will allow me to 'test' the sizes and ensure that the females in the trip do not over pack :cry:

Hi folks Coming back to the UK for a family visit. Need to hire car for 3 weeks that can take 3 adults and 2 kids plus associated baggage; intent is that the kids share a case and the adults have 1 each. All planned to be soft shell not hard so squishable. I've found an XC60 (or similar)...

I love the aussie GP, not only as I enjoy the circuit BUT its also at the right time for beersies :D

It was cost for me, here in NZ a decent PC will go upwards of $4-5K dollars and that's just ridiculous. I use my Series X for most gaming sessions and then Geforce Now (ultimate Tier which is 3080 here) for anything else. We have fantastic fibre to the home (950/450) here so geforce now is...

Well Merc did say, post Bahrain race, that they where about 0.5s down compared to their best due to engine cooling... and well what can go wrong in another hot race in the desert?!?

I got rid of my U6-LR. Was having massive issues with connectivity across so many devices... data flow would just stop for no reason and then takea a while to restart. Like you, I then read that the chipset in the U6-LR wasn't that great, swapped to a U6 Enterprise and I've not had any issues...

That is a very nice set of features there! Its starting to come together.

So picked up atom rpg trugorod(?) for ~$2NZD (on sale on steam for $7NZD) and redeeemed using the website with my vpn set to London... product activated and I could play on Geforce Now. The game was labelled Europe so this appears to be a win... might look for another one and see if it works...

Hi folks I'm looking in to purchasing some games but they're quite expensive here in NZ. I get around this by using a VPN to activate xbox codes via the app on my phone set to the country of activation, e.g. the code is valid for Argentina so I set my VPN to there. I've never tried to do the...

Thanks, I had heard that using aggregate sites such as expedia provided better qoutes, certainly true when I looked at a location comparison... vast price difference between the car sizes. I live in Auckland, land of the terrible driving quality where everyone needs to go at 59.99999kmh in...

Hello folks, Coming home with the kids and, partner and the MIL in July 2024. We're going to fly in to Heathrow and looking at a car to get up to the NW and do local day trips etc. for between 3 and 4 weeks of hire. I've been looking at expedia and various rental companies but the prices are...

ah ok I can't get on to EPTU easily as there are no local servers to NZ... I know meshing is planned for next year but it was the first proper indication that the builds are being redied for it.

So interesting stat if you type displayinfo_2. There is now a statistic that is 'Server Meshing' currently set to False... so its coming!

If it's the frame and surround the there is no way it can be reset and either the concrete or asphalt surface can cure / set in time and the oils to be released for it to be safe.
