07:44.41 | bilarh_ | am i crazy if i buy an old 5.3 litre jaguar xj12? :D |
07:54.08 | antiphase | Depends if you have an oil well |
07:57.41 | bilarh_ | :D |
07:57.57 | bilarh_ | i do work in the oil industry, does that count? :) |
07:58.09 | bilarh_ | i'm thinking of getting one for our pan-european charity rally of 2009 |
07:58.26 | bilarh_ | the charity recipients will mainly be exxon and total |
07:58.27 | antiphase | If you get a discount. There's a reason you can pick the cars up so cheap, and it's not the number of miles they've done |
07:58.40 | bilarh_ | and some crumbs left for sick children |
07:59.09 | antiphase | Get an old diesel Merc instead, at least it won't break down |
07:59.15 | bilarh_ | they seem to be about 300 quid |
07:59.21 | bilarh_ | even for ones with MOT and tax |
07:59.45 | bilarh_ | i can't find any cool mercs though |
07:59.50 | bilarh_ | it needs to cost less than 500 notes |
08:00.16 | antiphase | So they cost the same as 3 tanks of fuel, which will probably get you about 700 miles |
08:00.30 | bilarh_ | hehe that's mad isnt it? :D |
08:00.34 | antiphase | Somewhat, yes |
08:02.11 | bilarh_ | i want something like this potentially http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1990-JAGUAR-SOVEREIGN-4-0-AUTO-GREEN_W0QQitemZ170220943044QQihZ007QQcategoryZ18185QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |
08:02.14 | bilarh_ | that's only a v8 |
08:02.15 | antiphase | Although having said that my old 2.25 petrol Land Rover used to get 17mpg, so 12-13 or so doesn't seem so bad |
08:02.21 | bilarh_ | siorry a six |
08:02.33 | zaarg | morning |
08:02.37 | bilarh_ | that's what i mean, i get low 20's or high teens in the subaru already |
08:02.45 | bilarh_ | so it'd only be 50% worse |
08:03.02 | antiphase | Or twice as bad, to put it another way |
08:03.14 | bilarh_ | true |
08:04.26 | bilarh_ | the idea is to drive it through europe and then sell it on and any profit to go to charity |
08:04.32 | bilarh_ | for the car price i mean, we'll stump up for the petrol |
08:04.52 | antiphase | It's probably worth more as scrap given the price of steel now |
08:04.59 | bilarh_ | good point |
08:05.43 | zaarg | wtf that car seems really cheap... |

08:06.02 | bilarh_ | zaarg: jag's are dirt cheap for some reason |
08:06.12 | bilarh_ | there's cars from the early 90's for under 500 quid |
08:06.17 | bilarh_ | with mot + tax, just drive away |
08:06.26 | zaarg | can't get parts for them or something? |
08:06.40 | bilarh_ | zaarg: see above with ref to needing personal oil well |

10:12.10 | bilarh_ | it's through some company on amazon |
10:13.09 | zaarg | yes |
10:13.21 | Leeds | inc VAT? |
10:13.25 | zaarg | seems very good tbh |
10:13.26 | Leeds | not the surf, is it? |
10:13.27 | bilarh_ | i think so |
10:13.37 | bilarh_ | http://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-Eee-PC-pink-version/dp/B0013AN3OQ/ref=pd_sbs_ce?ie=UTF8&qid=1212401412&sr=8-12 |
10:13.44 | bilarh_ | it's not for myself |
10:13.45 | bilarh_ | hence the pink |
10:13.48 | bilarh_ | (honest) ;) |
10:14.15 | Leeds | if it's pink, I think there's a good chance it's the surf model |
10:14.23 | bilarh_ | what's wrong with the surf? |
10:14.28 | zaarg | i'd buy a neutral colour |
10:14.41 | zaarg | for resell value |
10:14.42 | zaarg | probably black |
10:14.47 | bilarh_ | it's for the wife |

10:15.16 | bilarh_ | it's more like... oh, haven't used this thing for a while, i'll just stick it in the cupboard until it's completely useless :) |
10:15.24 | zaarg | you cheap sake |
10:15.26 | bilarh_ | leeds: this one's got a 0.3mp built in web cam |
10:15.26 | zaarg | get her a proper laptop :P |
10:15.33 | bilarh_ | zaarG: she likes the eee :) |
10:15.37 | zaarg | heh |
10:15.42 | bilarh_ | we played with one in pc world the other week |
10:16.02 | Leeds | bilarh_: are you sure? |
10:16.14 | Leeds | I'm very happy with my Eee - had it over 6 months now |
10:16.19 | bilarh_ | leeds: Additional features - 0.3-megapixel webcam |
10:16.39 | Leeds | 210 |
10:16.44 | Leeds | guess it isn't the surf then |
10:16.49 | zaarg | i haven't actually played with one |
10:17.03 | Leeds | almost 220 inc shipping |
10:17.06 | bilarh_ | leeds: do you have any extra sd or mmc storage for yours? |
10:17.14 | Leeds | ibot change 3998 hkd to gbp |
10:17.26 | bilarh_ | ibot's busted |
10:17.32 | Leeds | yeah, the currency converter has been dead for ages |
10:17.36 | bilarh_ | xe.com's it |
10:17.46 | zaarg | google does it |
10:17.57 | bilarh_ | leeds: 260.98 gbp |
10:18.20 | Leeds | I pumped up the RAM to 1GB, I've got a 4GB SD card lying around which I've used when I travel with it, and I bought an 8GB USB stick |
10:18.32 | Leeds | that sort of storage is very very cheap |
10:18.37 | bilarh_ | can the sd card be left in permanently? |
10:18.40 | Leeds | yes |
10:18.42 | bilarh_ | as in, it doesn't stick out or anything? |
10:18.53 | Leeds | although I normally just use it with my NFS fileserver at home anyway |
10:18.55 | Leeds | no, it's flush |
10:18.58 | bilarh_ | ace |
10:19.21 | bilarh_ | now, do i buy a pink one or not? she'd like the pink one better, but it's not too great for me if i want to use it on holiday :D |
10:19.29 | bilarh_ | it might send out the... wrong signals :) |

10:19.48 | Leeds | $FLATMATE and I both have white ones |
10:19.49 | antiphase | Get a 900 of whatever colour |
10:20.04 | bilarh_ | antiphase: the 900 is too expensive |
10:20.13 | Leeds | get a 901 |
10:20.54 | antiphase | IT's more dough, but you get more RAM, significantly more disk space, and twice as much screen area |
10:21.45 | Leeds | a 1GB stick of RAM cost me about 12 quid |
10:21.47 | bilarh_ | it's alos 400 quid :) |
10:23.10 | bilarh_ | fuck it, i'm buying the blue one instead of the pink |
10:23.15 | bilarh_ | i think that will look better in a year anyway |
10:24.39 | zaarg | apparently with the smaller one has an annoying res for webpages |
10:24.52 | zaarg | you have to horziontally scroll all the time iirc |
