    Which of these sporty cars is cheapest to run..

    Cheers guys, will definitely go for test drives in as many of these as possible. Got a 57 plate Civic 1.8 for a hire car while mine's in repairs.. certainly a different style to the 1.9 diesel lump and I do really miss the mid range punch but when you're in the mood it does entertain - not...

    Which of these sporty cars is cheapest to run..

    What would you say to spending £15k on a 4 year old S2000 then as they seem to be going for around that on the Honda website. Just curious as I thought £15k on a Beemer with that engine was quite good!

    Which of these sporty cars is cheapest to run..

    Thanks for all the advice.. tbh I ask for cheapest running cost as I thought there might be a vast difference between them. I'm not expecting them to be cheap - just didn't want to get caught out with big big running costs as it were. Taken on board the comments about the S2000 being too raw...

    Which of these sporty cars is cheapest to run..

    Hmm, any other thoughts? Getting put off the RX8 a bit after reading a few threads about the high maintenance but they really do look quite cheap! Have always wanted an S2000 and if they aren't too bad to run I really would consider it and try to get one. What would they be like compared to...

    Which of these sporty cars is cheapest to run..

    Wow, thats a surprise to hear.. would have thought that the s2k would be one of the highest in that list! Note, I'm looking for a complete picture though - I'll be taking purchase price/tyres etc etc into consideration so the RX8 will be a massive saving to begin with I'm guessing. Also any...

    Which of these sporty cars is cheapest to run..

    Looking to change cars pretty soon - had my Fabia vRS for 3 years and would like something (much) better. So I've been casting my eye over these fine cars: In no order.. Mazda RX8 BMW 330Cd M Sport Honda S2000 BMW Z4 (probably 3.0 litre coupe) 350Z Obviously coming from a Fabia...

    Component cable switch

    Quick bump.. before I potentially waste some money! The two component outputs come from two Xbox 360's so any product needs to be HD compatible - not sure if that makes a difference to what I need to buy.

    Live subscription from Hong Kong for UK 360?

    If I bought a live subscription in Hong Kong would this work in the UK with a UK bought console? Has anyone successfully done this?

    Component cable switch

    My Philips HDTV has only got the one component input and I need two. So, I was thinking of getting some sort of switch so that I don't need to get behind the TV every time I need to swap machines. I've found a "4 Port Component/Audio Switch Box" which costs £39.99. Just wondering if this is...

    Using 2 wireless routers to connect xbox to internet

    So what do I need to do? At the moment, everytime I turn the Xbox on, it tells me theres an IP conflict on the system.. but everything seems to work fine.

    Using 2 wireless routers to connect xbox to internet

    Thanks for all the replies.. turns out that I was able to plug the Xbox into an unused NIC in the PC (which is on wireless) and bridge the two connections instead. Haven't tried it online yet to test out any lag issues so might be coming back to this thread to bridge the router instead...

    Using 2 wireless routers to connect xbox to internet

    Had an idea as I've got an old router lying around.. would I be able to connect to Live on my xbox 360 via this kind of layout: My normal Wireless Router (Actiontec GT701-WG) > Netgear WG602 v2 > Xbox I was wondering if there's some sort of special mode that the Netgear one can use to...

    24" Dell or 26" Samsung

    Thought that was the case, lucky I don't play many PC games and have the xbox for that! Where you say "low resolution browsing on a big display is horrible", how bad would it be on the Samsung? Is the start button going to be the size of a house brick :D Would like to have some idea of how...

    24" Dell or 26" Samsung

    So you're saying in most cases it would be better to get the samsung? How much worse would dvd/360 and normal TV be on the Dell?

    24" Dell or 26" Samsung

    Thinking about either a 26 inch R87/88 or one of the Dell 24 inch screens. I'll be using the screen for a few things: DVD Xbox 360 PC TV (Freeview) Which one would be best? What are the advantages/disadvantages beyond the fact that the Samsung wouldn't have a res as high as the...

    Opera browser.. broken "find in page" search

    My find in page search button seems to have died! I think I may have accidentally deleted the search in Tools > Preferences > Search. Tried adding it back in but it doesn't fix it. Any ideas? Tried google and tried editing the search.ini file.. no luck. By the way, it's one of the buttons...

    215/40/16 tyres fit onto a 16" x 6.5" alloy?

    Just checking really as the standard factory tyre size is 205/45 but I want to try wider tyres for better grip (in the dry anyway). Some people have said the rubber is a little too wide for the alloy. Thoughts? 215/40 tyres are also much cheaper although I'm not going to risk it if handling...
