The Queen

Very nice! Bit too dark on the left though on the last.

If I see a shot of a yellow F50 and Enzo together in the same street in London, I will literally...faint. :insane:

Ah, that's the one on PistonHeads isn't it? I really am very jealous. :cheeky: Please tell me it will be around over the summer!

Count me in. However I will not be "celebrating" the Royal Wedding as I think they are...yeah let's just leave it at that. :cheeky: Basically I am just coming because of the cruise. ;)

Patch, you obviously have no idea what you are talking about, so I would just stop there before you dig yourself a bigger hole. ;) :cheeky:

Loz for me. He has lots of time, always around and ready to help if anything needs done.

Well I would follow killalldude's advice and see how much wattage you actually need when you have chosen everything and calculate it. Then, after you have that, look around and see what PSU's are on offer. Have a look for something that is Corsair, Antec, Coolermaster branded. Those mainly have better efficiency whereas the cheaper ones may have the stated wattage but will only last a matter of hours at their max wattage and then start slowly degrading hence why they don't cost as much.

This might only be my opinion but I have had past experiences with cheap nasty PSU's and it hasn't gone good. Especially those which aren't very well known as they tend to break only a few months down the line and aren't very reliable at all. It's an important part of a system build and you really don't want to be going for a cheap one. Occasionally if they break they can take other components with them and it's really not a risk you should take. Just thought I would throw that in there. ;) I would recommend something from Coolermaster or Corsair as they do good PSU's but they come at a cost but it's definitely worth it.

Ok, fair enough. ;)

Just to note. Absolutely fine by me if you want to use my Teamspeak server for communication. I've no problem with that at all. ;) Can you put me on the list for this one? I've not been on a cruise in a while and should be able to make it Wednesday night. If not I will let you know beforehand.

Now, I am not trying to be a grammar nazi but I just had to correct this sentence as it just made no sense whatever way I read it. Anyway, I do own a DSLR which is the Canon 40D however it's a bit dated now. I haven't really heard or read much about the later ***D series cameras however I believe they are good at what they do. I wouldn't always go for the newest model as previously models can be just as good but without some of the premium features such as HD video recording and such. Of course it depends on your budget and if you would use these features or not as the extra money you might have spent could go on better lenses which, in my opinion, is more important. ;)

I'm still sticking to my guns with the 17-85. Seriously, I don't think it's soft at all and have been using it for nearly 2 years. When I talked about the 18-55 previously, I have only tried the 18-55 Non-IS and that is what I thought you lot were discussing so my apoligies. I do think the 18-55 is still too short on it's own as a lens, even for just walking about with, and personally I would rather have the extra reach and slightly softer image quality of the 17-85 IS rather than better image quality and less reach of the 18-55 IS. That's maybe just me though and of course it depends on what you like. I just thought I would throw in my opinion. True, the IS version is far superior, however I still don't think it is quite the same as the 17-85 for the reasons I have already stated. I've just had a quick browse on ebay and someone is selling one used for £200. Brilliant price and well worth it. Don't be afraid to go for used equipment as long as it's not completely scratched up and beyond repair etc... Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM Lens | eBay UK However, you can pick up a new 18-55 IS for a shade less than £100 and it does seem a better choice if you don't want to spend as much. Decisions, decisions! Please, for your own sake, don't just settle for the 18-55 Non-IS as it really is the pits. I have used it myself, as I said before, and it is awful so really do just go for it if it's a last resort. ------------- Would you just be investing in one lens or would you want a short range and a zoom? If you were getting two I would stick with Mark's suggestion and go for the 18-55 IS and also probably the 55-250 IS which is a great lens for a shade less than £150. However, if you were only getting one, I would say go for the 17-85 IS as it's worth the money and, with the extra reach, it's a great walk-about lens. It really depends what you are into though. I see you have done a bit of motorsport stuff in the past, so with that in mind, you would be better off getting the two lenses rather than just the one.

Lovely shots guys. Fantastic sunset Criss. Love the lighting on the Datsun shot Mac and fantastic HDR shot Mark. I also like that Brooklands shot you did Martijn, however it seems a bit dark. ----- Here's one from a while ago. (Christmas 2010) It's a Bentley Blower 5 Litre Replica apparently according to this source. (Bottom right) Vintage Perfection by David J. Anderson, on Flickr

One of the best songs EVER. If I may say so myself. :D I get shivers down my spine every time I hear that song. It's just amazingly well compiled... :eek: I also find it very symbolic of the film how the song is amazingly simple at the beginning and then built upon with "layers". Then at the end it stops very quickly, returning to a simpler version of the start of the song, basically acting as a symbol of the different layers of dreams portrayed in the film. Very well thought out!

Easily the best looking one to date!

I completely agree. Been following this since it was first shown on the net. Looks absolutely amazing!

Just realised that's the day I usually go to the cinema and my friend has suggested we see SuckerPunch, so socialising over games I'm afraid. ;)

May as well reserve myself a place. ;)

Of course! How could you possibly think otherwise? ;) That's the kind of responses people give at 5am in the morning after having been awake all night. :cheeky:

Helped this little guy back into my pond, he looked lost. :D

Well I have to say, I am genuinely surprised you can even run the game with a 1.8 Ghz P4 Dual Core and ATI 3470... let alone get bad frame rates.

*bump* :cheeky:

Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe. Aren't they like pretty rare? That's the fourth nice Rolls Royce I have seen in the past few months. First it was a Phantom, then it was a Ghost, then a Phantom Drophead Coupe and now this... I think my opinion of Dundee (car wise) is changing! :eek:

Me please. Still need to get a beetle as I haven't found all the wrecks for it yet but surely I will have nearer the time. I won't leave it till the last minute. *wink* *wink*

Since when did the plural of Bugatti have an "e" in it? ;)
