Re: Gentlemen, I need your assistance

Thanks for the post KB!

And... I'm still here.

I can't do much in return but be EXTREMELY grateful (and if you're in Durban, I can give you a hug!).

Re: What's killing the forum

Interesting topic. I don't think I used to post that often after joining. I was more of a reader than a poster back in the day. Every day I'd check that side bar thingy with the latest 15 posts (I think). I'm sure back then things were at their prime, with the old site. I was also a lot younger back...

Re: Your wheels (pics)

Definitely take one for a test drive. I've been driving a Daihatsu Sirion for the last 3 or so years, and the build quality is quite a fair bit better. No rattles or knocking at all, everything is solid - but that could be because it's new. It's also backed by a 5 year / 100 000 km warranty, and ano...

I don't usually post in this thread, but when I do it's because I've replaced a car that brought me nothing but bad luck :D I drove this out the showroom on Wednesday this week: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/Barrett_o/20130418_143748_zps264cc75a.jpg http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc42/...

Re: Filter Coffee - what's good?

The best blend I've come across is Blue Mountain, specifically the "Roast and Grind" brand that I used to be able to get from Spar. An incredibly close second is the Columbian blend from Woolworths. It's a limited edition, but it's been around for months. I don't see it disappearing any ti...

Re: French vs German cars

I'd say decide on a few you'd like, test drive them, then take it from there. I wouldn't base your decision entirely on what others opinions are, especially the ones who say french = rubbish. If they were really so bad, people wouldn't be buying them, and they wouldn't have a presence in SA. Drive a...

aCar is awesome. I used it for almost a year. I actually bought it so I could back up.

Then I decided to change roms (again), forgot to backup and lost all my data :(

Re: Latest Purchases Thread

Did they say you must replace the disks? They always insist that you do that, even though it is not really necessary(they just want your money). My car still has the original disks on it, but I do need to start thinking about skimming them as there is a slight lip forming around the edge of the dis...

Re: 3D hurts your eyes!

My eyes take strain with 3D movies. Eyes start hurting while watching. Sometimes I take a bit of a breather and take the glasses off for a few minutes and enjoy the blurriness. However, I'd always chose 2D over 3D because: * It's more brighter * It's cheaper * No annoying glasses * My eyes don't hurt
