Haha, all Cooper owners should have at least one pair of Pumas! Theyre seriously amazing compared to my old fat Circa's. Not to mention the Cooper is Chili Red, white roof, black leather and piano black interior, the Pumas are Red, black, and white. Coincidence? I think not! Not to mention, the new Valentine 1 in the Mini works like a charm!

I just ordered the silver model from J&R...
Told ya' all I was looking into it...
good taste!
I picked mine up through Crutchfield. They actually had them $50 cheaper than J&R. I put the order in at 4PM and had it at my doorstep the next day around 2PM, free shipping. I was very pleased with the service!

Well I do believe I will have to look into getting a pair...along with a V1 as well since my Escort Passport 8500 X50 keeps giving me a "Service Required" warning and I can't seem to fix it. It's still cheaper than the new Escort Passport 9500 with GPS, which I've been sort of looking at...actually I think it's $100 cheaper
. Not that I excessively speed, it's just that I like to keep myself in check and avoid tickets. How do you like yours? Is it pretty accurate? Any idea on the sort of range you get? Amount of false alarms?

In (L) Advanced Logic or something or other, I get almost NO false alarms. Range is between a half mile to quarter mile, it all depends. I love it, extremely accurate, if its good enough for Alex Roy to use cross country, its good enough for mountain runs and freeway cruisin in the Cooper!

The 500GB is for the PS3 (music, photos, and videos) and file sharing on our home network... as a nice bonus the finish on the case is nearly identical to that of the PS3... and it even has a blue light as well.
The 320GB internal drive is to replace the current 160GB drive in my PS3. I didn't expect to need a larger drive, but I have well over a hundred games and demos that have already filled the drive, and you'd be amazed how quickly you can eat up space on a hard drive with high bit rate 1080p video.

I've been to the last 3, and they got better each time. However the gallery less so because ive seen the exact cars they have on the streets they just seem like 'meh, enzo, meh, CC8S, meh,' The shows are very good and getting better each year.

I've been going since MPH04, so thats 4 times. I can't say the same sadly about the gallery, I think each time the show gets better apart from the inclusion of the Car Football which is just old now and gets repetitive. However, I still can't get over the thing with the gallery that I'm allowed to get *this* close to my dream car which, frankly you can't do at any other motoring show especially if its something rare like a Enzo or a 'Segg. I'm looking forward to this year alot, yet again I'll be taking Tommi2000 with me like last year and for the second year running I will be taking my own pictures, hopefully by then I will have bought a DSLR like I'm planning too so then I can get some great shots.
Last year we were pure lucky with getting seats for front row which was mind blowing, hopefully we will get the same again this year. I can't wait.

I just brought a Toshiba P300/N01 Satellite. Brought it with Vista Business, the reason? It comes with downgrade media to XP Pro
The specs? Intel Dual Core 2.1GHz, 2GB Ram (1 slot free), 256 Graphics, 17.1" screen, 320 GB HD
Not the meanest thing out there, but when you consider my last computer was purchased in 2000 it's a comparable rocket ship...

Well, each 500GB external eSATA drive for the DVRs allow for only about 80 additional hours of HD video... or about 40 movies. We record a lot of HD movies, but are either not in the mood to watch it soon after we record it, and or like to keep some of our favorites for future viewing. We also record a lot of the excellent HD documentaries/shows of Discovery HD, HD Theater, National Geographic HD, Science Channel HD, etc.... with so many excellent HD content, we can easily fill up a 500GB drive in just a few weeks, in the event we never deleted anything.
As for the external HDs we use for our PCs and PS3, we also have hundreds of hours worth of home movies in both SD and HD, and countless thousands of digital photos. In terms of music, we have well over 20,000 songs ripped from our CD and LP collection as well as a large collection of songs from iTunes.
In terms of the PS3, there is so much HD content (movie & game trailers & clips, BTS & "Making Of" videos, footage from game conferences, and even some music videos) that if one were to download it all, it would easily fill a 250GB drive.
As far as using a larger internal HD for the PS3, besides the added convenience and organizing options by storing media on the HDD, all the demos and PSN games are stored on it as well. Currently there are already over 100 game demos available for download, and 40 PSN games... that's over 100GB in demos and PSN games alone.
The good news is that hard drives are so inexpensive... ¢20 per GB or ¢40 per GB for 2.5" laptop HDD 👍

A gift card from Target yielded some goodies:
Mechanix Utility gloves - I wanted some thin gloves for tooling around the house.
Black & Decker Level (with orange bubble fluid) - Finally something to assist with picture hanging.
The Absorber - A drying chamois-like item. I used them when I wash my car at work...had to finally get my own.
California Dry Blade - Because I'm anal-retentive about water spots on windows.
Easy Store Table - Because Bailey wanted a table of her own. She likes it, and it folds up.
