Have any of the walls in the houses wobbled about yet?

10 should be good though. Xp was good, Vista flop, 7 good, 8 flop, so logic dictates that 10 will be good, :D. I'll probably upgrade but only because it's free, otherwise I'd probably have stuck with 7 till games started using DX12.

No, that's wrong. Microsoft have announced an Amnesty kinda thing where even if you upgrade a non genuine copy, it will become genuine. i read about it in forbes. Have a look on their website http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2015/03/19/why-microsoft-is-giving-away-windows-10-to-pirates/

Msoft PR statement says differently.

Poor build quality with lots of rattles /bumps and squeaks (on a low mileage car!) and front wheel drive.
Look nice though!

Nice cars and go well for a big car. Had a few tear ups with one in the past, good on the straight but not as quick in the corners. Ideal for a motorway cruiser with the occasional need for speed.

my old man had a high spec one a few years ago, admittedly it wasn't ST, but the self levelling rear sus collapsed I think...

sounds fair enough to me. I would welcome buyers to check through paperwork and check for matching numbers before parting with cash but if they started photographing numbers or writing them down, i'd ask them to leave

Love Moggys had several over the years. Is it on Ebay ?

No. Car and Classic. The white and red convertible in Wiltshire. Very optimistically priced (but open to sensible offers). Unfortunately, I didn't write the ad - a friend did by lifting an ebay description - and it's horrific and I'm going to have to re-do it. If you want something done ....

If you split the engine up into its separate metals (separate the steel, cast iron and aluminium) and cash the metal in at the scrap yard you will get a better price. Cast ally from gearbox housings and cylinder heads is worth quite a bit. When the scrap yards have to separate it, its not worth as much. Brake discs are worth a few bob as they are a good source of ductile iron.

Best way to check is to have a look at the sun now through your welding mask and, if you go blind, it doesn't work.

Thats a good idea, if i wait till the day then i won't know if i've gone blind or if the eclipse is lasting longer than expected ;)

Do a comparison first, look directly at the sun around midday, I'd say for around 5 minutes, then look at it through a welding mask. You're guaranteed not to see the sun! <before I get reemed, this is a joke and on one should look directly at the sun in any way, shape, or form without the correct equipment>

more like a few bits of data from some software that chucks out tonnes of data of which a large percentage is completely useless. Basically the pictures that I have saved look crap :(

I use Camtasia now to put together a lot of presentation videos. Just a screen capture and editing facility. It's dead easy to use. I know they offer a 30 day completely free trial which is really handy.
Mar 17 2015 09:10 PM

Vinay-RS

never heard of it. I'll check it out. Not sure it'll help in this case as this data is for a report :P

i think you can get your postage costs back if it takes long than 4 days for 24hour delivery

Oh. Did it look just as spectacular though?

It looked amazing. On the TV it looks a bit too perfect, almost like a staged show, looks more natural in person. It gets brighter and darker, forms shapes that then disperse, and just drifts slowly across the sky. The glow follows the curve of the earth so you get a big arch across the horizon with a dark bit underneath.

I so want to see that for real ...

World Service? Don't laugh - they actually have some really interesting programmes on in the middle of the night sometimes.
