Aye, well, either or... just dunno how the wife would take "another" console with the Wii, PS2, DS, etc already there Only figued on a PS3 'cos the guitar from the PS2 works on the PS3 apparently, so could have a dual guitar setup on a PS3

I reckon I really need to upgrade to a PS3, although the "financial manager" might disagree Thing is, they reckon that drumming in Rockband is fairly close to reality (in the higher difficulties anyway). Had a good few shots of mates proper kits but I'm the same on drums as I am on a guitar... get song amnesia instantly I pick up a pick or sticks and can't think of what to try out/practise.

Quite fancied a shot of Rockband but haven't seen it available for the Wii or the PS2 yet... am a frustrated drummer as well... well people tell me to shut up and stop tappnig the table, my feet, the steering wheel, etc

I love the game... I'm a frustrated GH in that I've played a "proper" guitar for years and am still cr*p on it As for Raining Blood in the game... feck me that gets hard (let alone trying it for real on a guitar).

What about 3" sportscat centres? (or D/P's for an 06Sti)?

Aye, remember the day well. My uncle worked on rigs at the time but I hadn't a clue which one. We were on holiday in Callander at the time and dad came back with the papers It's good it's still being remembered but although safety seems to be more to the forefront I dunno just how far its come since then? Guess the guys who're offshore all the time now would have a better idea (but maybe wouldn't like to say due to their jobs).

Got to agree with you there, although the new one looks better with the different wheels/suspension I still massively prefer the hawkeye.

Shell at the airport in Aberdeen had nothing either when I went thru' it earlier today. Ended up going to BP and filling up (well, £50 not filling up) with their ultimate instead. Saves a trip to Ellon I guess and is better than putting in 95RON stuff as well.

Can you check and let us know if there is any.

Oh joy... wonder how long the £22 of 95RON will last me then... don't want to end up having to put more of it in. Really just is what everyone needs a couple of weeks before the rolling road day out... can see a lot of people with lower figures if they are having to run on 95ron (even with Octane booster), or worse... people cancelling 'cos they can't get the right fuel and don't want to travel so far on the cr*p stuff.

I'm guessing with the drivers strike they have concentrated on getting diesel and normal petrol into the stations at the expense of the VPower fuels, hence it eventually running out in some places before it's been re-filled. Only explanation I can think of for the lack of it everywhere.

Not this morning... Shell nr the airport in Dyce is out of V Power completely... they are waiting on it coming in. Apparently they just got their supply of V Power Diesel in today (WTF uses that compared to all the petrol heads using/needing VPower petrol?). Had to put in some 95 'cos I was on fumes... guess thats a bit of off boost running about for me then.

I know JohnS was heavily involved with it last year, couple of us gave a hand being marshalls at it as well (although not as many as we'd have liked). Not sure who's been involved in organising it this year?

Hmmm... need to fill up soon myself, hope the Shell in Dyce is okay for supplies.

Yeah, hadn't seen much about it at all... normally listed earlier than this to let everyone know in plenty of time.

Cheers... watched it there... quite a good season line up from the first couple of mins then You can select O at the start which gives you a menu and there is an option to display a map if you need it. Plus you can change to an AWD faster version of the Liana which I've managed to lap in 1.22-ish.

I missed the start... Managed to get it on in time to see the Ferrari going round the track and the Allegro jump, etc. What was on before that and is it repeated anytime?

I hear it's back this Sunday. Mate sent me a link to have a shot of the track. http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f3079.html Might be an old link to some but first time I'd seen it. 8Mb exe file so doesn't need installed. Managed a 1.49 on the third lap but reckon I've had too much whisky to better it tonight (my excuse and I'm sticking to it). Reckon it'd be quite a good track to try for real in the scoob though. Iain.

I said that the last time then went to fill up and there was no V Power left... they'd been concentrating on filling up the diesel and "cheap" petrol so the V power ran out.

Looks like you have enough people offering to help out if it does get a bit much. Would be good to have a bit more stuff happening in the area (hopefully some of it while I manage to get into the area as well )

Superb

Guy just dropped in to see me at work and mentioned that the Shell garage at the airport was fairly dry apart from the "expensive petrol" so assuming he meant that the V Power was still flowing

I'm always surprised by how good "mobile" pics are these days... they are better than the first digital camera I had (easily). It's only a 3Mp camera in my phone but it's good enough for small snaps, have a 350D for shots where I want a proper camera (nowhere near as easy to carry about as the phone though).

Aye, I skim read it when it was at about 50-odd pages I think... no way I'm wading thru' all the sh*te that's in there... hopefully he gets the blog up soon and keeps it updated 'cos I find it quite interesting and he's got some good pics (love the one of his wife at the end of the tunnel... very like a movie poster as someone mentioned). Certainly would be a lot better and more interesting that 99% of the rest of the worlds blogs talking p*sh If anyone does see a link to his blog can they paste it on here... save me wading back and fore trying to find it

I do... it's my commuting car... mind you that includes a lot of minor A and B roads I like all rally reps TBH, Integrales (shame it's LHD only though), UR Quattro's, Cosworth (the only Fords other than maybe an RS3100 or 2.8i Capri that I'd have... or the RS200 obviously ), Evos, scoobs, etc. I do like "normal" fast cars but it's ones that have been rallying that seem to attract me the most. As I use mine everyday the cost of running an Evo compared to a scoob was what made me choose a scoob first time round (was doing ~10-20k a year 'cos I was using it for work then too). Don't do just as much mileage these days but still went for another scoob this time round.
