      I seem to be getting way too much study done these days with the focus in the garage :pac:

      On another note my dad has his car up over a week and got no real interest were all kind of surprised. It's bad when you can't even sell a octavia diesel. No one seems to be buying these days. So looks like he'll be keeping it. It's a pity as he had a really nice car lined up but if his doesnt sell he will have to keep it :(

      Everyone is worried about exams and study, and I'm just sitting here doing nothing due to continuous assessment :P

      Continuous assessment sounds nice now I have a bit in my course but most of the continuous assessment in my modules is only worth 20percent.

      Combine the 2.... I'm writing up a report for a ca module as well as studying!

      Last semester was a nightmare with work placement 40 hrs a week and 2 modules, one was ca and the lecturer was an absolute arse who overloaded us with un-necessary pointless work for little return. His sheer smugness was something to behold :rolleyes:

      That TV would be quite valuable for retro game/console collectors. All new flatscreens are pure shiet for older games.

      I use a flatscreen with my SNES. Ok, I have black bars on the sides due to the differing resolution but other than that it's fine.

      Well it is okay, but all Retro gamers prefer the good old school TVs for it. I am no retro gamer, so dont ask me about technical part. All I know, that those collectors REALLY like good quality CRTs.

      CRT's are better for any gaming, not only retro. HD resolution aside, for response times and clairty etc... CRT is always on top.

      Maybe it's because I'm procrastinating, but I suddenly really want to have either an MX5 or a Cooper S. Something small, fun and chuckable!

      You'll think I'm making it up. The tv I've had for 9 years mentioned earlier has just developed a black dot in the middle of the screen :(
