...I think it's not possible to hijack the "off topic-thread".

...BTW: Was that you in a yellow G20 in your old avatar pic?

Good point! And yeah, that was me at Silverstone at the Ireland chicane, thankfully before I launched it straight across the gravel there due to a combination of tiredness and overconfidence! Thankfully no damage was done.

Id love to have a go, I did look into doing an arrive and drive in mx5 championship, and I was saving up to do my license and then book that whilst I was living up north, but then I was pretty much made redundant so I had to put it on hold. Now I am doing a 2l national saloon stock car race at kings lynn to raise money for our racing charity (shameless plug there, all donations accepted!) which I am a bit nervous about as its a totally new experience to me, and if you've never seen them, they are brutal. I would definitely recommend having a look at youtube for them!

Sounds like a laugh! I'll have a look at them.

An' to go off topic again, thinking of a new laptop, daughter and son in law are Mac users and are pushing that way, me, always pc/windows user, pros and cons people and equipment suggestions please.


Let the contest begin.

I used to be PC/Windows, but I was fed up with the ever increasing bills for anti-virus' that don't work, constantly rebooting it to a blank canvas because of a virus, the whole thing being slow and not running its programmes properly because of a virus... common theme I think!

I now have a mac book, and I have had no problems with a virus, which apparently cannot happen as Apple's products are virus proof according to my friend, but it is so simple to use when you get used to it, and when they update it you can still use it without being peed off at not being able to find anything!

Well, as another working year comes to an end (I finish today for the break and only come on here during my lunch), may I take this opportunity to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year!
I know I haven't posted much recently, but I have enjoyed seeing other people having banter, building themselves up and being shot down, arguing, bickering, exercising their right to attempt one-up-manship and the annual ability for some (not always the same ones each year) to make claims which (on the face of it) are outlandish without the ability to back them up with hard evidence! So here's to another 12 months of the same! CHEERS!!!!

Yeah love music and love radio, forever listening to different stations and shows, buying a DAB radio was the best decision ever, also my new Vauxhall Corsa SXI has a built in DAB radio which is amazing!

Nice, last year I decided to learn how to DJ, and now I take bookings for parties and events etc. Loads to learn still but an enjoyable experience! I am getting good a mixing different genres which is one of the toughest things I have tried to learn

I have a massive music collection and wanted to set up a radio station, unfortunatly the regulations here are much tighter than other countries. I could have done it for a few hundred elsewhere in the world

Yeah it is madness here. My music collection is still growing

My collection of BTCC-models is growing!
I don't think anyone is interested in that - but I just wanted to post sth. "off topic".

Am I stupid enough to create a Flickr account for this?

[Urinal2001]

Nice looking collection! Plus i spent way longer than necessary looking through all your tickets on display. Impressive.

[klaus]

Thank you.
I'd love to have some of the newer cars (Levorg), but it seems, there are none.

And yes:
I kept all tickets and placed a lot of them in a windscreen (Mini Challenge). A team left it at the track and I took it. I can tell you: People are looking at you like you are nuts when you are walking around with a window

It's all in my room (with a GT tyre and a part of a BTCC-Passat). There also is an old TV and a Mega Drive

I "gave" my girlfriend a room for shoes and clothing and got this. Good deal methinks.
