GT has been put back. Forza 3 is out very soon and is looking good. If GT5 is good it'll probably sway me to pick up a PS3 too. It needs to not feel as clinical then I'll be sold.

There's awesome deals on all consoles just now. Amazon are best for the PS3.

Personally - 360 has the best library of games at the moment. PS3 is a lot more tempting given the recent reductions but if I was to do it all again I'd still take the 360.

A dignified 8 years of ownership Neil, and lots of great contributions to the forum.

Will need to arrange an evening of Edinburgh street photography with a master like yourself when winter properly sets in too

I always thought it looked a tad softly suspensioned when I saw it, but still very quick.

Damn right mate. Seller on eBay called Revsport. Based in Indiana in the good old US of A. Link here - http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/RevSport-Inc__W0QQ_armrsZ1

Cost a pretty penny but well worth it. Got the t-shirt from them a few weeks ago as a test of their service etc. and was so happy with it I plumped for the hoodie too.

T-shirt came letter post and didn't incur the wrath of customs, but the hoodie (and a TP199/Nitro Circus t-shirt) came parcel post so they got hit but it was only £20 extra as they'd marked it with a friendlier value which got under the current £105 import tax threshold so it was only VAT I need to pay.

The only place I've seen the actual Block Teamworks gear here is Schuh selling the trainers. You can get the Pastrana (non Subaru) stuff from a few sites but not the Block stuff.

One thing to note is that the picture Revsport have of the t-shirt is a slightly different design from the one that comes. I'll post some pictures of mine later if you want, but it's the one he has in the videos that I got which has a different Monster logo on it than the pictured one.

My Block hoodie only arrived on Saturday morning. If it had been here on Friday I'd have tried to get away early and head up the road to get it signed.

Sounds like it was a good weekend. Need to get to one of these rally things one day.

Make sure they look at the tensioners too as they can need replaced.

60K isn't friendly either

A good way to do this is to make some space between the car in front then slam on the brakes then back on the gas, it's almost certain that he will lock up his brakes. Obv with your child on board this is not an option.

Did this to a white van driver a few weeks ago. I've taught my left foot how to work the brakes pretty well so I've seen me using that and covering the gas with my right for maximum effect.

Does anyone remember the last time they saw a taxi pull up at traffic lights BEHIND the white line?

I certainly can't.

If they're calling it a mosaic then I think there's a few large carparks that'll be wanting in on the action

Not a bad idea Grant.

Ordered mine from Shopto this afternoon. £24.99 for the 360 version with the free DVD. Lovely.

Well done to all involved. Lovely name too

That man block again, this time with Chris Atkinson -

Get along to Citizens Advice with your lease contracts. It sounds to me that you've been given a product that wasn't what you asked for and is therefore not fit for purpose.

Tried the demo and enjoyed it Grant. Thought they'd got the interface absolutely spot on.

Hopefully get to play it wearing my Block t-shirt

Looks good Kim. Well done.

Will be picking it up in the coming weeks when I've got a bit more time to dedicate to it. Went back to the original DIRT and enjoyed it again.

Teins are very hard and do lower it a significant amount. I had them on my car until about 4 or 5 months ago when I had to put the standards back on after it was discovered the two rears had snapped. They'd been on the car for over 3 years though.

Score. Apt. Very apt.

That's a lovely big wing on the Lambo too. Mini driver looks like he was lucky to get away with his incident.

This kind of crap belongs in offtopic at the very best.

I just renewed mine and didn't go with Keith Michaels as Direct Line saved me £250.

My last 2 renewals with KM have both went up in price despite having a better no claims.

So close to the 8s. Well done Andy.

I've missed just about all the touring cars news this year. Why's Flash not in the civic this season?

You get on okay at London road John? I've had 2 crap tanks out of there last year and haven't been back. I think the owner lives just round from me.

I don't think they got banned. They went into self imposed exile.

Golspie is huge fun. Bloody far away obviously but it was a cracking weekend when we went up with Paul earlier in the year. I was cheering against everyone in the rain as I thought it would have been great to see Donald take FTD. It really did piss it down that day mind you.
