Have any of the Europeans here done a Carbage Run in the last few years? I'm really tempted to take part in the 2019 edition.

The c30 is quite heavy and big... I wouldn't count it as the same class as the others mentioned previously. 

 Also it looks quite awesome... Especially the facelift r-design ones 

You're right, I've never driven one. Just thought that it might fit, but I just had a look and they're almost 1500kg. The front looks alright , but the back is hideous. I know that they designed it as nod to the 1800ES but it just doesn't work for me.

adam is widely driven by women here and i really find it to "cute" looking and audi is too expensive

Those are the mainstream options. There are a few weird cars like the Volvo C30 (230hp 5cyl?) but it looks like someone backed it into a wall in the factory. Or The DS3 (Racing). Then there's the Suzuki Swift Sport with 140hp. Toyota does a hot version of the Yaris, called the Yaris GRMN, but that costs over 30000€.

So was I, new your only options would be an Up GTi or a Twingo GT

Adam S

Smart Brabus (That's 40.000€ too much)

A1 but that's a bit bigger

I was specifically going for used cars...

The OPC ones are too expensive if you want one that hasn't been ruined by its previous owner. You can find a nice stock GSI for far less.

 mocking the foreign kid, yes

Joke's on you. Here in Europe we get all of the good cars. Like Peugeots. Or the Fiat Multipla.

Well what can you do with a wagon that I can't do with my truck..?

Find a parking space in a European city, get good gas mileage, keep the things I'm transporting dry when it rains, go round corners ...

No it has a very small air leak in the fuel line

Ah, I see. I haven't had the best experience with them, but if yours runs fine then who am I to judge...

For every known problem, there are two unknown ready to crop up.

Just a few days ago, I replaced a leaking vacuum hose on the Saab, only to be greeted with what sounded like a broken throttle body. Fortunately it was yet ANOTHER vacuum hose that was fucked. Needless to say, I'll replace all of the vacuum lines when the car comes back from the mechanic, let's see what else is broken and covered up by those.

It does have a tiny problem that it sometimes doesn’t start, but it’s just due to bad previous work. 

Are you sure this isn't just because it's a Peugeot?

Oh here's a pic of my pride and joy, whilst i've joined this topic... also.. i love a nice old Saab!

 

 

Great colour choice. I love the sound of that engine!

Good news! I finally replaced my boring Golf with something more exciting: An '02 Saab 9-5 Aero wagon. 2.3l, 4 cylinders and big old Turbo. Im blown away by it. The seats are incredibly comfortable and it makes 250hp. Unfortunately it's an automatic, but that fits the cars character quite well. Put some new snow tires on it today, so I'm ready for the ski season. It was kinda broken when I bought it, but a few sparkplugs and an ignition Cassette later, it runs like new.

no, I haven't. But it did crash after the first install. no crashes yet though

You should always restart after installing a driver. Try uninstalling ASIO, restart, reinstall, and restart again.

Have you restarted your computer after the install?

Yeah, yeah I know, but it is still on the website...

There is no "stealing". Every site visitor who watches the video will generate a view on the LTT video because they embedded  the original LTT video. No theft of any kind is happening here.

You know that it's just embedded, right? It's still Linus's original video on Youtube.

can't see the pics but I sense American Car + rusty parts.

Seems normal

idk what it is but like bolts and things on GM's get rusty pretty easily.... and always break off and are in general... annoying

should be fixed now, it's from a golf Mk5 though...

I had to replace my boot lock today. After I pulled it out, I saw why it wasn't working any more; It's got a lot of corrosion... Has anybody an idea as to why this could have happened?

thanks!

If you can afford a new motherboard, then a 1600 is your best bet. If not, then an i5 will also work, just a bit worse.

Just now, SqueakerEDITION said:

ok thanks but even when i use cycles it still slows down? but i guess i can live with it i might get an i5 or more ram soon. what one should i get???

Are you using GPU acceleration? You have to manually enable it in the option (see the link I posted). A better CPU will help you a lot with this kind of work, an i5 is fine. I would go for AMD (Ryzen 5 1600(X) ) in this case, as you're getting a lot more power for your money. This would involve buying a new motherboard though.

You can utilize your GPU with CUDA when you use the Cycles render option. You can read more about that here: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/render/cycles/gpu_rendering.html

so i freshly installed chrome onto my comp from a usb and i noticed every site i go its says its not secure , it shows the https crossed out in red 

 

whats the fix for this?

This is probably because of an error with the certificates. I assume that your system time  (the clock in the lower right corner) is not set properly, so Chrome assumes all of the website's certificates are invalid. Set the proper time and date in Windows and that issue should be fixed.

i3 6100 + cheap h110 - 890 NIS

g4560 + cheap b250 -  640 NIS

 

The i3 has slightly better integrated graphics, but I don't think this will matter.

linux mint

I'm not sure if this is the right distro in this case. Mint has a reputation for not handing out kernel updates by default. They have  apparently fixed that a little bit in the recent 18 release, but it still seems a bit dodgy to me.

I'm looking for an easy to use Linux as close to windows as possible. I tried using a different version of Linux for my server and networking was EXTREMELY hard. I swear if I have to type "sudo" one more time...

 

But anyways if there is a version of Linux that actually has networking MENUS instead of using a command line that would be great. 

There are GUI's for the network managers, but I would not recommend using these. You'll learn a lot from configuring the network via the command line. There are a lot of guides on how to do that. 
I would recommend using Ubuntu, as it is the most popular, and has the most guides and answered questions available.
