So what was/is the way of payment for your car? Cash, leasing, loan, ... ? I always buy (everything) with cash (bank transfer).

Wow, what a story. If I had to guess where one of those was found outside the UK, I'd go Australia? New Zealand? India? and Czechoslovakia and then Denmark would be wayyyyy down the list. I had a soft spot for Rootes group cars growing up, I liked it's stablemate the Humber Super Snipe, I wanted to …

Yeah, let's raise a glass to cars you get more than your money's worth out of. Like my old Ford Escort, what a trooper, bought it with 220,000ish km on for $500, put 250,000km on top of that... yes I spent a lot on parts over 10 years, but nothing you wouldn't expect for mileage, guesstimate of $ …

It used to be my grandfather's and was used in his workshop and office (TV and HiFi sales and repair) - mainly to contain diagrams and manuals for the products - when my grandparents closed the shop, my grandfather asked if I wanted it.

...I don't need to have it ... i know these words... but they make no sense in this combination to me :smirk: Don't tempt me; I already have four or five Commodore Amiga 500s - and roughly the same amount of Commodore 64s;) I did manage to find the problem with the fan; let's just call it a used …

I think the issue with an SSD is that neither 2K or XP is aware of SSD, and thus wears it out "real quick" if it's an issue on an intermediately used retro computer, I don't think so, but you may be aware. Where in Denmark are you located? My local recycling station (Næstved) had a ton of T60s at …

Kind of in the sweetspot between modern and retro, I picked up an Lenovo IBM ThinkPad T60 last night for less than 15 USD/ 14 EUR including original docking station and the large battery: I was originally looking for T43 spares when I saw this cheap one - the power supply was lost (or died) so he …

Few days ago I picked up Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition (2010) which I had started December 2021 but didn't play since, although I was about half way through the base game (2009). Been giving it a couple of hours each day for the last couple of days and it have some good things and some bad things. …

I am almost finishing the Quarter Mile expansion of Car Mechanic Simulator 2014; I was quite dissapointed in this expansion compared to the base game and the 4x4 expansion: The game has no controller support so your throttle control of W/Arrow-Up can be quite thickle before you get a perfect launch …

in Windows
Not sure if you will consider this as following the criteria, but since the two .dll that do CD-check is removed from Windows (since 8?), you can't play Rome: Total War and Medieval Ii: Total War (including Gold Edition) on Windows 10. However you can enter your serial/CD-key in Steam ("Add games …
