Speaking of GTR's, Heres one (or at least an R35) This isnt my video of course.

I havent started up a channel to upload cycling stuff on yet. I was very against camering up in the first place as I believe it aggravates and antagonises drivers a lot more but there are a lot of drivers who will actually think twice about being an absolute c**t, Running you over/down/off the road or getting out of their vehicle and physically attacking you if they know their being recorded. I can take all the verbal abuse - Ive had plenty of it and it doesnt bother me at all but if he hit and run's me after we have our little shouty match about him being a bad driver then im going to need all the evidence i can get.

but the problem is, Police are incompetent as well and most of the time even though there is strong evidence against someone who did a hit and run on you. The police 99% of the time arent interested because there was no death by dangerous driving caused -- This is quite a big topic among the cycling community at the moment.

Heres an prime example

If you follow this guys update videos regarding the case, it draws a pretty appalling picture of the Justice System from a cyclist's position who was involved in a hit & run. Basically, cyclist's are all treated as second class citizens.

People these days are just too busy not paying attention to the road at all and focusing on either on their phone or fiddling about too much,i'm thinking of getting a dash cam myself as i always get idiots on the road when im driving.

Speak to your insurance company too. Some of them will offer you a slight discount if you let them know youre using a dashcam. One guy had 15% off while my friends company (i cant remember who he's with....) only offered him 5%

Yeah i heard about that,the trouble i have is trying figure out how to route the power adapter from the 12V cigarette from within the glovebox around the car without ruining the interior or major modifications to the camera which will be attached on top of the rear view mirror.

If any fellow UK TPUer's have any GPU's spare/lying around etc then help a brother out, dipshit here managed to rip 3 caps off (including some of the outer PCB plastic type coating which was stuck to one of the caps) whilst removing the cooler... just please don't ask, the less said about it the better.....

So I need an interim GPU until I can grab another 290/x or equivalent in about a months time, cheap as poss as long as it's marginally better than the intel HD 4000....

FS thread:

Incidentally I have been playing around with the HD 4000 today and it runs COD 4 maxed 1080p between 30-40FPS even ran metro 2033 on low settings though had to turn down the res to 800x600, runs l4d2 perfectly though at 60fps 720p

Loan you a hd 5770 ( if borrow you pay postage both ways ? )

I was looking to buy something cheap but better than the intel HD 4000 though if you would be willing to do that it would be very much appreciated, as it happens though, I think I might have snagged a 290x on eBay for £165 and even though I wasn't planning on buying a card just yet couldn't resist at that price. Will have to work out if I can actually afford it this week and if I can do it then there'll be no need for me to use something else in the interim though just means money will be tighter than I'd like for the next couple of weeks.... being broke sucks

So with that can I come back to you Monday/Tuesday when I will know if my finances can stretch to get that card now or if I have to wait a few weeks as I was anticipating anyway?

 

[dorsetknob]

no problem its one of a pair i have in my I7 860 (crossfired )Spare 3rd Rig

 

[NdMk2o1o]

I remember when they came out, I had 2x 5770's Xfired, it was a very good budget setup that came close to 5870 performance at the time

None of the sheep are "fresh" where do you think the mutton comes from for all the kebabs?
