Guest Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I thought 96GB was an astounding amount, but it turns out I have 50GB of music. Indeed! The thing is, what I've got off him is virtually nothing in the scheme of things. He brought in two three terrabyte hard drives. The 97GB he gave me was all that could fit on my [two] external hard drives that were scrounged from old computers. The 97GBs-worth I did get were deemed to be 'the best bits', according to my colleague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Cash Converters There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to their pricing. I was looking through their website for camera stuff (I think any branch will post stuff to you) and there were some mega bargains among the £150 Vivitar point-and-shoots.

Guest Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Cash Generator is mildly better than Cash Converters, but the pricing is generally all over the joint and there's some stuff which is unlikely to ever shift - I found some Philips CD-i games there the other week.

Lord Sterling Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Wondering around the Sainsbury's carpark today, I came across an old lady parking a M-plated Rover Metro Rio Grande in one of the spaces. I got talking to about it and she was telling me how every now and again she cleans up and paints the rear arches (with acryllic paint) to keep rust at bay, she admitted that it wasnt very good work, but this kind of got me thinking, these days you wouldnt see an old dear taking real care of her own car to a point where she is cleaning and painting the rear arches. At this point Mother_Sterling came over and joined in the conversation, now to see 2 ladies talking about motors in unreal! Also, had been watching a few old 1985 episodes of The Bill came across one funny episode where DI Galloway got fed up of his Beige Cortina and traded it in for a Beige mk2 Cavalier L Auto!

I was reading an old (early 80's) custom car mag this afternoon, I found a "Dateline" advert where they boast that their supercomputer has TWO 4MB hard-drives on which they store all your data while finding your perfect partner. Except they don't call it a Megabyte, they say "Four million bytes of data" This made me lol quite a lot, but seriously I can remember when a 1.44MB floppy disk seemed huge (compared to the 220k ones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed well massive and incredible at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 My Amiga had a 260MB drive and I wondered how I'd ever, ever fill it. In fact I didn't, for years.My laptop has just pinged up a warning about low disk space on my 500GB drive.....! I'm on a 30Mb broadband connection and think nothing of downloading a couple of GB worth of films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuggin' typical. I've been waiting for ages for them to show season 3 and they stick it on the moment I leave the country....

Mr_Bo11ox Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Well she's all over the story so you can bang away when you've got the DVD off amazon or whatever. Spiral is class in a glass alright, but after 'The Killing' all TV seems a little bit more redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAARGH The last two episodes of The Killing were on the day after I left so I have no idea how it ends. Had a load of trouble finding anywhere to download it too, may have to write that one off.

trigger Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I went to the bestest car run I've ever been on today, 600 cars, vans, Motorbikes and buses descended on Christchurch park here in Ipswich then done a very long, slow convoy to Felixstowe seafront through the towns. All the roads on the way were full of people waving and cheering us, lots of horns beeping and generally a brilliant atmosphere, It really was the best thing I've ever done in a car, I couldn't stop grinning!. Felixstowe seafront was top to tail in old cars, about 3 miles of it!, I was parked in front of a 1972 Vauxhall Viva HC which was nice as well. I've now currently uploading about 250 photos to my flickr, I'll do a thead once I've finished. 1972 Opel Kadett B and 1972 Vauxhall Viva HC by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I was pleasantly pleased to see it, It was also a L plate so was exactly the same age as mine, I guess when they was new the Viva HC would have been the more logical choice as it was a fresh new model where as my Kadett had been out since 1966 so it was starting to show it's age hence why there was so few Kadetts sold in the UK. The Viva looked more plasticy inside and more safety conscious, though it did have the fab strip speedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Can't wait for the HC pictures, looks lush. Especially for you, For years and years i used to see a blue Viva HC parked in this garage window in Colchester (Maldon Road Garage for those who know the area), One day it disappeared, Oh about 7 years ago now, I got chatting to the lady who was driving this, she told me it was her dads, It belonged to a old lady for years before he bought it and left it in his garage window... Yes it's the same car i used to see all those years ago!. I was well chuffed to see it still about, they said they never use it though and it still sits at the back of this old garage, It's totally unrestored, I'm a bit pee'd off with myself now for not asking if i could take an interior photo, She would have let me. 1972 Vauxhall Viva HC by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr 1972 Vauxhall Viva HC by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
