PASSSSEDDD AINT I... 3 minors!

car failed with 2-3 minors as well, a d-bush and small things! blitzed emissions woop!

RCoon · Oct 23, 2014

~~Wait, did it pass or fail? You said Passed, then failed with 2-3 minors. I don't understand?~~

DERP. GRATZ ON PASSING THE TEST!
Sadness for the MOT though, that stuff gets expensive. I'm in that spot right now, it's costing me a new car

d1nky · Oct 23, 2014

car went through surprisingly well. he phoned and said it went too well ha just a couple things i could do myself but couldnt be arsed and will cost £100

only advisory is the one i know about which fixing soon.

pissed with insurance quotes changing, and not being able to rag the life out of a motor lol

As it turns out, buying an almost new bigger engine car is about a quarter of the insurance price of buying a super old car.

MightyMission · Oct 23, 2014

unfortunately though the initial outlay for bigger engine cars is low, running costs are much higher, I nearly bought a '56 RS4 avant last week for £2k, though if you know you've a heavy your right foot it's prudent to steer clear.

Congrats on passing!

I assume you have added your mum/dad/older sister etc as named drivers if possible to bring your quote down?

FreedomEclipse · Oct 23, 2014

congrats on pissing the test!!!

d1nky · Oct 24, 2014

anyone want to buy a Samsung 840 Evo 120GB SSD for £35 shipped. Its about 3 months old.

Last of my stuff to go....

Finners · Oct 24, 2014

I'll have it off you! Should still have your details in my inbox

Have you added any named drivers to your policy yet to see if it helps?

d1nky · Oct 24, 2014

thats a deal then..

no one wants to do it lol im trying to go down the route of multi car policy with my missus and not pay the deposit.

also got a call with a quote of 130 a month and 130 deposit, so just need to borrow some cash and get that. (but 450 excess :eek:

)

Finners · Oct 24, 2014

Sweet! Payment sent and I've PM'd you my address.

d1nky · Oct 24, 2014

nice one! officially the last of my pc to be sold and in its place a half decent motor.

next is a new build to own all my previous builds!

Swift cover tend to offer cheaper rates to new young drivers

Finners · Oct 24, 2014

+1 for swift cover, Ok Im not a new driver any more but @ 26 the renewal they sent me this year was actually cheaper than last year and cheaper than any quote I could get on compare the market etc..

the54thvoid · Oct 24, 2014

Admiral for me. But I'm old....

d1nky · Oct 25, 2014

hopefully getting a good deal on multicar quote.

although ive lost my house and car keys, or locked them in the boot. so effin fuming!

Glad to see this place still ticking along nicely :toast:

I last came back in May and have been away since then, no idea about current gen GPU's or procs, though nice commission pay packet in Nov might well change that and see me upgrade from my current i5 3570k and GTX 460

Welcome back :toast:

Save your cash.... Rumours are the real big Maxwell chip (980 ti or Titan X, or whatever) might be released near Xmas. Might shake the market more than the 980/970 did.

Glad to see you back man. Sounds like things certainly picked up a bit since we last spoke! In terms of the market, there's some shiny GPU's that actually brought something to the table. As for everything else, still worthless, overpriced, or downright ridiculous. New processors are meh, new ram is meh, and SSDs are being fixed but still don't offer much compared to the original m4s, 840s and OCZ are basically toast.

NdMk2o1o · Oct 28, 2014

Yea I'm disappointed to see theres not much in the price range of my 3570k that is a much of an upgrade, oh well I could do with a new mobo, PSU and GPU anyway so that should cheer me up some :toast:

I can hook you up with a be quiet! 630w L8 modular PSU for cheap. It's been sat around for months inside it's packaging.

the54thvoid · Oct 28, 2014

Goddamit.

I bought a Moto X (2014) a few days ago (now being shipped) and i got an e-mail to say the 360 goes up for sale today and the Moto X is £60 cheaper for 24hours from today at 12pm. Contacted their live chat and got no f*cking help. I can organise a return when i get it but to make the most of the £60 discount, I'd have to gamble on the returns process being hassle free.

Shambles. I feel an e-mail to Motorola coming on.

RCoon · Oct 28, 2014

It's been a tough holiday, but I think I can relax now that I'm back. Also in other news, I'm getting my first press kit for a game review this week! Hopefully I'll have something to publish Sunday.
