Hi Guys - not been on here in a while. My E6400 needed a tickle of extra voltage (0.01 above stock) before it would do any kind of overclock, and 1.34 to get to get me to 3.0GHz stable (8*375). That's as far as I'm happy going for now as I'm running on the stock cooler. I'm idling at 45C and...

The Freelander (like all Land Rovers) has 'permanent' 4 wheel drive i.e. there is no 2wd drive option.Unlike some 4wd vehicles however, there is no diff-lock or low-range gear box. I ran a 2002 V6 (with an auto-tranny) until April. I don't recall any of the noises you describe. Freelanders...

What you really need is Dodge to start importing the Charger. I'm biased because I see about a thousand Mustangs a day, but for me the Charger is the american muscle car of the moment (even if it has 2 too many doors).

Accepting that in this day and age most people will need a mortgage at some point, a certain amount of credit (let's not use the word debt) is essential. Without a couple of well managed credit cards and a finance agreement or two, your credit score will be nought and your chances of...

Are you for real?

Getting a graduate job in computing with a 2:2 might be difficult. We wouldn't employ anyone with less than a 2:1 unless they'd worked with us previously (on a placement or whatever). I doubt we're the only employer to do that.

As they are perfectly entitled to do so. Buses having to stick to a timetable should not be an excuse for causing traffic chaos that results in everone bar the bus being behind schedule.

That applies to salesmen in most fields. You wouldn't expect your average PC World guy to give you any useful advice, so why expect more from a car salesman.

It could be worse. Those of us who remember the old days, or who are still a bit old school and actually buy CDs, will know that in the UK, you pay about £12 for a chart CD as oppossed to $12 in the US. Thats almost a 50% difference at today's exchange rates.

I ended up having to take a 2002 Corolla to the garage to get a driver's side bulb replaced. There just wasn't enough room between the light unit and a black--box of some kind. There's something slightly humiliating about having to ask someone else to change a light bulb for you :o

I think you'll find there are only two Andy Gorams :p I was Jill Dando's sailing instructor on 'The Holiday Program' back in 1993. By a strange quirk of fate, I was living two streets up from her in Fulham a couple of years later when she died.

Agreed. My missus' Golf GTi uses more fuel than my 3.5 liter V6 SUV.

If it wasn't for Bank Holiday Mondays, how could you have Silly Sundays?

In the States at least, there a number of SUVs that are plenty fast and offer handling not far off normal car standards - RAV4 V6, Saturn Vue V6, Infinity FX, Nissan Murano and Mazda CX7 all spring to mind. The Infinity is the only one that comes anywhere the Porsche in price. Of course none of...

Explorers aren't bad as mid-sized SUV's go. They got a bit of a reputation a while back due to the exploding tyre fiasco though. I maintain theres a good chance that manouver would have flipped pretty much any car. Of course, once it was rolling the high center of gravity wouldn't have helped.

The problem you have is you are all techies. Techies are great at implimenting ideas, but not necessarilly the best at having the ideas - for that you need someone with experience in a particular domain that can point out gaps in the market to you.

OK - being an SUV didn't help, but I think that incident would have flipped most cars. The central reservation that she put two wheels onto was pretty rough and that's whats caused her to flip.

Gah - that sucks. Cluckin hate car parks.

I said the last time whisky was discussed that Springbank is the only single-malt. If you can make it to Inverary, Campletown (where Springbank is distilled) is only an hour or so further down the road. Alternatively, you could just run up to Glasgow and buy it in the whisky shop in Buchanan...

The police don't consider it a serious crime, but the Recording Industry does and that's why its IFPI that are doing the investigating and developing the cases. They employ many ex-police officers to run their investigations and use the same intelligence software as used by many major police...
