Thanks for the advice, this definitely seems like a good possibility. Looking at the prices of some of these I reckon I could pay for it with the money I save on petrol from not driving the car every day. Seems like Piaggio own every brand of Scooter I've ever heard of. Think I'll have a look through and post up some of my ideas.
-
I was thinking it would be a very low powered scooter. It would purely be a commuter vehicle as I'd be using the car for fun/weekend driving. Haven't really thought much further than that. Been browsing Vespas which look very cool but maybe a lot of money to put on something like this. For a massive fan of cars/driving very little of it transfers to bikes at this moment, I'm completely new to it. What did you have? Basically I want something that's cheap, easy to ride and I can fit my lunch inside it.
-
That sounds nasty! Fully recovered now I hope? Yeah it would be for London, not a lot of riding, just to and from work really which is just a few miles each way. Passed my driving test about 7 years ago or so, never done a CBT or any bike tests though, not even 100% sure what you have to do despite having a fair few bike riding mates. My main worry would be Winter, if it's raining I'd want to use the car, defeating the point completely. I think it would be great riding in on an early spring morn, but then I'd be tempted to take the car with the roof down... Not a good time for costs like that, I need to get my car serviced in the next couple of week's which I'm not looking forward to!
-
Does anyone on here ride bikes or the like? Been thinking of maybe getting myself a little scooter or something similar for weekly work driving. Thinking I can stop using the Lotus so much and even better avoid having to queue the whole damn time. On the other hand I've never been on one in my life, is this a good idea or am I crazy?
-
I have no idea what I want for Christmas, I came in here looking for ideas and instead I feel bad for wanting anything at all... I think Terminator 4 and Star Trek Blu-rays would be nice, but other than that I have no idea. I buy most of the stuff I want myself anyway.

Had a bit of a spree at the weekend, got the following: Also got a white shirt, some jeans and a few ties from River Island, can't get pics off their stupid site though...
-
Can't argue with that. I enjoy the look of the proposed circuit, I like the section they've got rid of, but as others have said not much actually happens there in terms of overtaking. F1 fans in the office are already planning a trip to a testing/practice session, I think I will most certainly go along with them. Seems like things a starting to fall into place for next year now, just a few more gaps to fill and we're good to go. The start of the season can't come soon enough if you ask me!

Nintendo cutting down Wii production. Wii HD closer?
Will replied to Choze's topic in Nintendo Gaming
Exactly, demand has dropped massively this year so of course there is no need to manufacture consoles at previous levels. Given the current Wii sales vs those of PS3/360 I'd say we're some way off a Wii HD. -
I like this a lot! Very nice indeed. I have this one! Don't think I ever wore it though. Been a while since I got anything from threadless, should really check it out again soon.
-
Classical music, for a reason I can't quite put my finger on, is most definitely the best stuff to drive to. I need to get more on my iPod as a blasting along roads is great to it. I always always have racing games set to classical tunes (mostly PGR) when I can.
-
Just gone up on a few sites - this has also got a 10 in Edge. Great score for a great game.
-
I got one of these yesterday too. Makes the Mega Drive games on the site much more enjoyable than previously.
-
Mine was the tin and as far as I'm aware it came via normal post too.
-
I'd second the NAS suggestion, I got a buffalo one a few months ago that has all the required stuff do do iTunes and Apple TV out of the box. Look into which ones fit your criteria and that should be your best bet.
-
Hurrah my copy was waiting for me when I got into work this morning. Can't wait to play it later. Hopefully the gf will let us play through together.
-
Totally agree that he should have stayed at Brawn. It's all well and good being in the best car, but when your team mate is without a doubt their number one priority - and much better than you, the best you can ever hope for is 2nd. As I said earlier in the thread, I think this is particularly stupid move for Button. It will be interesting to see who Mercedes employ to partner Rosberg, if Heidfeld rumours are true then I don't see that that team has a clear leader/race winner in it. Despite other reports I wouldn't rule out Raikkonen going there.
-
A cheap run around is a good idea, I've been thinking of getting one myself to keep the Elise of the road during the winter. Trouble is I think I'd miss driving it every day.
-
That's true I suppose, hasn't the Brawn/Mercedes deal been common, albeit unconfirmed, knowledge for a fair while now? I certainly had it in my head that we'd known it was coming since at least Abu Dhabi? Also I think Rosberg confirmed he had a drive a little while ago too, though wouldn't give the name of the team. The news stories seem to be suggesting it will be Heidfeld replacing Button which also makes no sense, they already have one German. You'd think that the World Champion would be a bigger draw than another. Whatever happens it will be interesting how it all plays out. I think Button would be an idiot to end up at McLaren, as much as Mercedes will be stupid to let him go there.
-
Well yes, but if he'd have sorted it out a little quicker he wouldn't have the problem. Doesn't surprise me though, seems to be in his nature to mess up team movements.
-
I doubt Kimi will be too fussed, I think he'd rather try his hand at something else now. He seems to have lost some of his thirst for F1 in the last 2 years. I agree about Button, either way he's going to be in a bad position. If it were me I'd much rather be at Mercedes. He knows the team and setup and regardless of Rosberg's contract he will effectively be the No. 1 driver. At McLaren he's number 2 to a driver who knows the team and is a much better driver than him. Don't really know why he's considering it to be honest, seems a stupid stupid move. (I know it's for money but when your choices are £5m or £10m I'd rather go on where I'm more likely to win.)

When I was at uni I would write my essays like this: 1. A little reading around the subject (this stage didn't often happen) 2. Decide on my conclusion. 3. Bullet point each thing I want to cover, making sure the first leads through nicely to the conclusion. 4. Flesh out the bullet points. Which should leave you with a pretty much completed essay. I guess you might also read through it at the end to make sure it makes sense. I never bothered though.
-
Haven't they only delayed the decision at this point? At the moment I think its more a case of when rather than if...

A home cinema kit for my lounge. A massive improvement over my TV speakers.

Crikey, 27 inch iMac and a multi touch mouse. Looks ace. My wallet is getting very very worried.

I like the look of it to be honest. Obviously it's far from perfect, I completely agree with the issues you raise for it. I'm sure given a few years of development and some fine tuning this is more or less the type of interface we'll be using for computers in the future.
