    A ditherer returns to the fold

    Not really posted much recently and it's not because I have been out enjoying my CLK 320 Cabrio but rather because it has sat at the back of the garage with a cover on it for the past few months whilst I drove around in other cars and hummmed and dithered about selling it. I am fortunate...

    Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen

    I got a new toy in November and so the CLK has been "resting", and I have been "lurking" for a few months. Always fancied one of these and stumbled over a mint, 1 owner, uk car with subtle engine, induction and remap modifications to take it up to 360 BHP. It really is a rapid way of getting...

    The Dark Side

    I was reading the thread where someone was looking for a Merc CL55 and ended up with a BMW E46. Someone commented that the purchaser had gone over to the "Dark Side" :) That got me thinking about Dark Sides. If BMW is the Dark Side to Merc ownership, how does it work with other marques? I...

    Went for a test drive: Supercharged Elise

    My g/f and I had a test drive of the Lotus Elise SC yesterday. It was either that of wandering around the Garden Centre. In a way I was trying to be a hard-to-please potential customer since I really like my 111R and most of the time I quite enjoy the need to keep the revs up in the power band...

    Increasing wireless signal range

    I have a netgear router for my wireless broadband. Everything works fine if I am in the same room as the router. However, its a fairly big old rambling house and the walls are thick and the actual distance between rooms is big. Is there any way to inrease the range of the wireless signal a bit...

    XBox and XBox Live and stuff

    Wow!! How impressive is all this stuff!! I appreciate it is expensive(ish) and the games are expensive and it is only a games platform at heart, but WOW.

    Convertibles... roof up or down?

    Its 3 months of ownership for me and just turned 1000 miles!! :) I would guestimate that over 900 of these miles have been topless. Every time I am out in a car on a day where it is anything other than "unpleasant" I would choose to get the roof down. If I saw a convertible car with its roof up...
