The 8th UK South East "Will somebody please start a new thread" gossip thread

Oh, and mines not a VTEC, its just a VTi 1800cc 16v Honda engine. The car is a Rover 618iS.

Mine's a UK spec car and says to use 95RON as a minimum in the handbook. That said all Accords of mine's age are VTEC engines so may benefit from higher octane fuel, not that I can afford that kind of fuel.

Tell me about it 122p/L last time I looked at super and when the Silvia does anywhere between 15-30 mpg depending on how I drive it

My Pulsar wasn't far off that! Such a fun car though, I wasn't fussed on fuel cost at the time!

I paid 1.33p/ltr at BP for Ultimate the other day. My ST has averaged over 3 years and 30k miles 22.5 mpg
I'd get better mpg out of a 330ci M Sport.......hmmmmmm

My labourer at works got a 330Ci M Sport and loves it,......bar the fuel LOL

if you were to buy a set of headphones to listen to music at home on what would you get? My old ones are falling apart.

This style I'm looking for not the small portable ones.

I was going to say Sennheiser....

Call me highly skeptical but I side with The Register article that suggests that the loss is in fact just a marketing ploy.

Very unlikely. Apple are religiously (almost militantly) protective of their new hardware. The last place they'd want to see it is on one of the most respected hardware news sites (where new gadgets are regularly dissected and analysed). Technical details of components being leaked for the opposition to learn would be very damaging to Apple's lead in a very tight arena.

The Gizmodo.com write up is very persuasive of this being an actual loss by an Apple software developer. Poor guy won't be treated lightly.

Made me laugh, I think Chris could do with another addition to his avatar.......PETE.......

I'm here?

Just speaking to Amanda on here, and shes asked me a question that I can't answer, thought you lot may be able to help I wouldn't know what to suggest myself?

Sounds similar to what i gout out of the Golf GTi.

The new bimmer has shown an average of 42.5 mpg on my round trip to an from work today. Shows 58 mpg on the motorway at 70mph!
Even if that lying a bit, is still way way way better economy than i have been used to for the last 2 years.

The GTi would barely scrape 27 mpg, even if i drove it super smoothly and at 65 on the motorway. Thank god those days are over!

finally got the Triumph photo's uploaded from the weekend;

I keep thinking I should go diesel. Then something like a 330ci stops me
I have a few months to decide before the ST has to go.

Just editting a few more from last night, including the shot from the video, looks like I may have another 3 keepers

Here we go...
