Re: 2000 mile VX Euro Trip.

P.S... steak on a stone, was that Pistonclaus? (Sp?)... I still have fond memories of that steak! Restaurant Pistenklause. I actually thought about ordering a second one as it was sooo good!!! We were extremely lucky with the weather and had the roof off for almost the whole time. Although it was a...

2000 mile VX Euro Trip.

Just back from a 2000 miles euro trip with John so thought I would stick up some photos etc. We travelled from Fife down to Newcastle and got the over night ferry to Amsterdam. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y190/Lou_m/20130613_162731.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y190/Lou_m/20130613_211508...

Re: CCI not listed on Insurance Database

I had the same. Insured in January then a letter from MID a couple of weeks ago. I emailed CCI and I was on the MID database within 2 days.

No, shot at 25fps. There is an option with the camera to take photos while the camera is recording. I had it set to take a still shot every 5 seconds. This feature only works with the lower fps settings.

Looked like an interesting route too. Where was it?
Thanks. Its the road north out of Milnathort to Forgandenny. Not really the best roads but I have done a bit of cycling on them and always wondered if they would be any good in the VX.

First play with the GoPro Hero3 Black

Found the quality to be better than my previous Gopro Hero HD. I hope to get an external mic so as not to have to put music on the videos to cover the wind noise. The roads were in pretty poor condition and there was still quite a bit of ice about.

Re: Winter tyres. Discuss.

I pit some Vredistein Quatrac 3 all season tyres on the Saab as the summer tyres were all perished. Went up to Aberdeen today and the roads were quite bad. Loads of crashes and cars in ditches on the A90. Tyres felt great in those conditions. 250bhp and front wheel drive with no issues. Will see how...

Re: SAAB's... how cheap are these now !

The engine designations (for the petrol models) confused the hell out of me to start with. They do 3 versions of their turbo'd 2 litre... 2.0T, 2.0t and 1.8t. The 1.8t & 2.0t are the same 2 litre engine, same turbo & same intercooler.... just a different map ! 2.0T has a bigger turbo. I've gone for...

Re: Cycling - NLC

Oh forgot about the ice... Yeah the ice sucks. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2 Yup, wish I had gone on the turbo trainer on Wednesday instead of going out and trying to beat my Strava PB's. Hit the ice and ended up on the deck. At least it was my winter bike. Just scratched leavers and ripp...
