    Video cameras

    Used to be and to make the most of the memory available the picture quality wasn't always that good. They have improved greatly and are usually smaller and a tad more robust than ones that record to disc or DVD. Robust is a relative word - none of them are indestructable! If you were...

    Video cameras

    It depends on how much work you (or the person you're buying the present for) wants to do to be able to produce and share the video. All modern cameras can be plugged into the AV port on a TV and played back directly, which is great for immediate viewing. It then comes down to the media you...

    You may knock Ford, but they can do high miles....

    Fiesty Fiesta Crud, I'll admit it, I'm a car nerd :) What sort of power is a turbo crossflow putting out? I know of one all steel race engine in a Caterham that peaks at 186 bhp but that is at over 8500rpm :o

    Last Call for Scottish Retrobikers

    McRetro Currently out of the country and injured to boot :( That's the first and last time I try a duathlon :cry: Does McRetro ever come to the frozen wastelands of the North? Glentress is a bit of a hike from the NE! If not are there any other NE based retro owners out there??

    What we used to wear.....

    Cringeworthy clothing This is rather like a confessional; forgive me for I have sinned.... My favourite riding gear was a Tour de France commemorative jersey (the one that had one quadrant yellow, another green, another polka dot etc) and a pair of flouro pink lycra shorts (very comfortable...

    First production mtbs in England ?

    1st UK MTB Hi, This is my first post having lurked (and drooled) for a while. I'm feeling rather old since I bought my first MTB in early 1986 (the orginal white with yellow badging Muddy Fox Courier). As I recall, the shop had Fox's, Saracens, and a couple of other British makes...
