Yeah wotz i run a hdmi lead to a 42" screen.
My logitech controller works on pc and ps systems. I know i can buy a decoder to work with the xbox, it's possible you can do the same?

I used to think Forza was good but until you try project cars or similar with a 900 degree wheel you've felt nothing
The way the more expensive force feedback works is that there's dampers in the wheel too, so if it didn't have power steering you get that weight, if you run high on an apex and get thrown off it the steering gets pulled from your hands. It's amazing

Sounds good. Don't quite get what the 900 degree is though? Is that the turning radius?

Which app are you using? On Android is it?
There is no official boards app as they have the touch site on the mobile browser which i use and is far better than the apps. The apps are not built from scratch they just(I don't know the correct terms to describe) they just run the touch site through the app, so better off using touch site.

Yeah it recreates real cars, 2.5 turns lock to lock and then automatically adjusts for quick racks or formula cars that have like .5 turn lock to lock

I'm Android ya. There is an app, it's on the play store? Unless it's a fake one :P I usually use the desktop version alright, but if I just want to check threads, the app is handiest instead of googling it.

I know there is an app but it's not the official. When i said use the browser one, I meant on your mobile browser which is the touch site, specially designed for mobile devices instead of an app. The app you use just fronts the touch site.

Haha! I think so. I used to use the same app as well. As most places have apps but boards have the touch site instead and once I started using the touch site I realized it was far better than the app.

So wrong, you must be drunk or bored.

Aye tis a caliper carrier. Only the prototype though. The proper one is soaking in diesel. The door is fairly sticky to open.

Thats really cool Interslice.

For some reason your post has reminded me that I have three 7 foot wide shed doors to collect soon for my house.

I haven't a clue on how I'm going to move them.

Half pishded and ordering boot struts (one of them decided to fall apart after I tackled the boot lights) while Ozzie is keeping me company

joujoujou

Where are you gonna order them struts?

Ms jou wants a pair of boot struts to her son's octavia wagon (that'll be a Christmas present).

EBay. Around €25 a pair. The ones on the s60 are really small. The Octavia ones are probably more expensive

Thank you, sir. Will look around.

Saw this on FB. Gave me a giggle

Reminds me of when my ae111 was in for test a few years ago, I had: Scorn not his simplicity by Luke Kelly playing driving in, the tester put it on repeat and blared it for the duration of the test, told me it was a decisive factor in its passing :pac:

One thing that my car has always been missing is the centre armrest. Would love a fully adjustable oe armrest but at around 200 quid it's abit strong. So I was thinking of compromising and getting something like below anyone have any experience with them I don't know of they will be any good although this one is made to go into the cup holder. I don't know if it will look a bit stupid though decision :pac: anyone have any good places to get decent armrests or advice.

Quick question -

My tax is due on Monday (tomorrow). If I pay it on Tuesday is there some sort of penalty owed on top of the tax? Paying online.

This is the first time I've ever taxed a car here so I don't know.

Nope. It'll just tax it from the start of the month.

armrest

I got a similar one for my Alfa 147 a few years back, it was fine. You have to drill into the plastic beside the rear cigarette lighter, not sure if that would bother you.
