I just had a walk down town to halfords and back and now i'm a sweaty mess. It's well hot!

 

[Welly]

I've seen designs for servers that don't use any AC units just very well routed air and super efficient fans.

Agreed, but for that sort of gear, the costs always go up lets be honest...

Did you buy any thing of interest?

I think tonight is the night i'm ordering my suspension kit along with a dishwasher.

Afternoon guys, its taken me ages to read all the pages for today. Scott, w3sty, dane, love the cars. Damo, awesome job on your car, i think you shoud go for black. Welly, sounds like you having a bad day. Dont understand why they spend all that money on servers and dont fit ac in server rooms, what idiots. I hace a small ac unit in my server cubboard to keep mine cool.

 

[ScottD3]

I wonder how much the initial outlay is compared to a AC unit with a 6 year maintenance contract.

No I was after some polishing pads but they didn't have any. All I bought was air fresheners and glass polishing cloth!

Do you have to order a house hold appliance to hide the spend on the suspension?

 

[Reesy]

I don't like oil burners but this is nice. I could do some miles in that no problem at all.

I wish it was that easy.
Its just the way it happened.


Reesy, You can't beat a good oil burner for chewing up motorway miles.
My next car has to be a white avant.
I love white so very much.

 

[Reesy]

I liked the fact it did 0 - 60 in 5.3 seconds

Mate, you are preaching to the choir here - I couldn't agree more.

Like I said initially. Short term gain - long term loss.

 

[Welly]

That is impressive work lets be fair. The other good thing is the 50+ MPG from it as well....

All settled down now, I just get fed of of being surrounded by idiots!! lol

Well its there own short sightness that causes these problems in the first place. I dont suppose they will have invested in ups either?

Look at the dash, the buttons, the toys, the gadgets...................................................

What are you like scott?

 

[Reesy]

I don't mention MPG anymore. Nor do I mention car insurance. When other people talk about what they can get to the gallon and how cheap their monthly/yearly payment is, it annoys me. So I don't talk about those

 

[ScottD3]

I'm like this with toys, gadgets, buttons, electronic stuff

We simply will not sell servers without an accompanying UPS. End of. Built into the price.

On another unrelated IT note, InPrivate browsing (Or incognito etc etc depending on which browers) is great for using on customer's computers to view what you want on the web.... Until you close the window by mistake and then have to log back into everything again!!

Don't blame you, 2 months and my insurance is due.
Not looking forward to it as its mine and the misses insurance at the same time and then 2 months of MOTs.

Well said Reesy, ive always said if you cant afford the running costs of a car then what was point of buyingit in the first place.

 

[Reesy]

Mine is: MOT tomorrow £50, tax end of next month (£205), insurance beginning of oct (around £1700 - 2000) and it needs a service

Good choice.

I read lots of good things about the M17x a few months back.

 

[Dane]

£1700! Are you 12? do you have 20 zillion points? and live in a postcode with a rating similar to that of South Africa?

 

[Reesy]

I am 19, live in a decent area, will have 2 years no claims and no points..

 

[Welly]

Mate, nice car for your age!

Elephant/admiral/bell have always come up trumps for me.

 

[Reesy]

£1700!

And that is why I don't like people talking about insurance!

 

[Westy]

lol, and Reesy didn't want to talk about it!

£498 for me with all mods and ting.

 

[Dane]

To be fair the mods and my age don't help me so mines a fair bit higher than the standard £650 premium.

 

[Welly]

lol, and Reesy didn't want to talk about it!

Sorry Reesy

 

[Westy]

The only good thing about getting old is that fast cars become cheaper to insure

 

[Reesy]

Mate, nice car for your age!

Cheers dane, had it over a year now as well. I wanted to change it for an S3 but they are about £2800 for a year!!

It's o.k welly..
