Don't know, these modern series seem to miss something, usually I'm getting sleepy, like this remake of Galactica for example, it is not actually so bad, but when comparing to old serie it defineatly seem to lack some stuff, it is more like talk show or something
Feels like story is lost behind some relationship stuff, which I really could not care less, I prefer old ones as there was story to follow and action
Oh, now I remember, when I was kid we rented often Thundercats and Cobra animations also Bud Spencer & Terence Hill movies were enjoyable to watch
Spooks was good at first, but a bit too serious now.
Hustle deffinetly. Great show, and although you always know they'll get away with it, excep once or so, you never know how. Very clever.
CSI. Sadly I don't have channel 5 here, but I loved it at uni.
Knightrider is cool but do you reckon they could of fitted the gear to a 360 cos to be fair the standard Pontiac Trans-Am isnt too far away performance wise!!

I'm sure they would, only reason why they did not must be because 300-serie were never sold in US
Ok, it would been quite small car, well narrow compared to other cars that there was.

they used a 76 2000E and changed the grille for the twin headlight set up to make it look like a 73 2000GXL, shame the interior was pure 2000E
the only reason you know that is because you watched topgear.

Okay then but they did sell other volvos, a 200 would of been more practical

Jani you are a genius Don't think I have any normal grills here to try it though. The ricer knightrider bars you can buy all look wrong as they use LEDs and not lamps, need a lamp if you are going to get it right!

Don't know about genius part (at least now after brain damage) but I still get tons of crazy ideas
Yep, need lamps or then those should be huge leds with funny optics, much easier to get lamps
If I would have 242 model, I could make that in 3d, maybe some animation too, also would be possible to make it to rfactor too, but that is quite lot of work and I have having bit vacation from computers or at least trying

Np at all, I'm bit of vacation from modding anyway, altough I tested to get 850 to game, but then it would not like to have center point where I did set it so I did left it to another time, also could not find photos from instrumets.
I've always been a fan of comedies more than anything else, so Family Guy, Scrubs and The Mighty Boosh are current favourites with pretty much anything starring either Steven Fry, Ronnie Barker, John Cleese or Rowan Atkinson being fine by me too!
my family were friends with Ronnie Barker when we lived in Harrow and he lived in Pinner .
He was one of the funniest and nicest guys I ever met,
He was actually funnier off screen than he was on tv.
It was through him I met Bernard Cribbens ,Barry Fryer ,John Junkin, Kenneth Connor ,Bella Emberg and loads of other famous 80's comedians socially ,funnily enough he never seemed to socialize with Ronnie Corbett though even though he was his comedy partner.
