Damn it's been over a year since I went that way, you would have thought they would have done up the Kantale - Trinco stretch by now.

Just heard on the radio, there's congestion on the E01 due to a lorry overturning.

Let's also hope for better planning this time & they don't 'drag' the start like they did the last one. Plus better viewing areas for spectators & not 1 foot high sandbags as safety barriers.

Apparently it means, ever-changing tide

Girl behind the wheel?

Machan, will it not depend on the colour temp, as is the case in running HID on your normal headlamps? Thought some of the newer cars came with HID Fogs?

Think Ab@ns have one too

Here's hoping that we don't have anything serious that involves multiple vehicles.

Anyone know anything about a car in flames yesterday? http://www.nation.lk/edition/todays-news/item/5312-southern-expresswaycar-in-flames.html

Hmmm then a SuperDrive it is....

Machan, you can use a external drive. We got a old Mac Book at home & the drive stopped reading, BT wanted 30k or something to replace. Just went across Galle Road & got a drive for 5k

Machan the link doesn't work. Just PM it to me will look it up. Thanks. I have been in touch with some people on FB, but thought the prices may have been a bit steep (I could be wrong). Planning on going to the place in Bellanwila over the weekend as well.

Machan like I said all Greek at the moment. But for starters like everyone else I guess I want a good bike with all the trimmings i.e. shocks, disk brakes, etc etc. The bikes that I saw at Sugath's, they had rust on the shocks, etc & that kinda made me a bit nervous. The guy said that once they 'service' it that it would all be ok. But with experiences I have had with motorbike shocks, rust on the shafts don't go away that easy & dont do justice to the seals. I wouldn't mind piecing the bike together, but then I suppose I have a lot to learn in terms of what to get & from where & whom.

Guys for the bikes sold in Kurunegala, I have been told that they are sold 'As is'? Just wanted to know if it was better to get it from the places in Ja-ela, etc. Went to look at bikes last Saturday @ Sugath's. Currently all Greek to me

Rather than opening a new thread - Motorists beware! Mobile CCTV is everywhere! Sunday, 22 April 2012 21:20 The latest mobile Closed Circuit TeleVision (CCTV) system introduced by the Police this week could pick up pictures from a distance of 1.5 km, capture images at night and read a number plate at a distance of 200 metres. The mobile CCTV van was on its first operation on the streets this week, a day after it was launched by Police Chief N.K. Illangakoon. The camera mounted on a van parked alongside Galle Face Green, in its first operation, was monitoring traffic, and took action against eight drivers for various traffic offences. The Sunday Times was permitted to witness the CCTV capturing images of a Fort-Panadura private bus entering Galle Road from the Parliament roundabout, and proceeding on the wrong lane. The driver was unaware that the bus was under surveillance from a camera zooming in from some 800 metres away. The bus proceeding on the right lane, reverted to the left lane close to the next roundabout where traffic policemen are usually stationed. In the process, the CCTV camera had captured all the images of the driver committing the offence. When traffic policemen halted the bus, the immediate reaction of the driver was that he had not committed an offence, but when confronted with the evidence from the CCTV camera he admitted committing the offence. Assistant Superintendent T. Gamlath, who is in charge of the CCTV Unit, said the mobile unit would supplement some 100 CCTV cameras set up at various points in Colombo and the suburbs. “The mobile unit will help maintain surveillance of some of the areas which are not covered by the CCTV system launched in December 2011,” he said. He said the mobile unit camera could be rotated 360 degrees, and the images captured, even in rain, could be monitored from headquarters. “The system could be made use of to control crowds at events such as matches, festivals and demonstrations, to facilitate V*P movements and crowd control during a fire or when a natural disaster occurs,” he said adding that it could also be used in crime prevention. From within the mobile unit, officers manning the system are able to communicate with the police stations. A second mobile vehicle with similar facilities will also be introduced shortly, but the vehicle would be unmarked, the ASP said. The vehicles will be used in Colombo and outstations, depending on the requirement. Police spokesman Ajith Rohana told the Sunday Times that the programme was an expansion of the CCTV scheme launched by Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa, at a cost of Rs 227 million.He said the images captured on camera are admissible as evidence in court. The programme is being implemented with assistance from the Moratuwa University with Senior Lecturer B.S. Samarasiri acting as the project advisor.

Anyone bought replacement bulbs from here?

Anyone bought any "region free' games off ebay? They say it works on all systems, with mine being Pal just wanted to be sure.. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CALL-DUTY-MODERN-WARFARE-3-XBOX-360-GAME-MW3-NEW-SEALED-/251033738377?pt=AU_PC_Video_Games_Games&hash=item3a72c6dc89

Huh?

May have been the guy operating the kade outside, Peri.

I just wanted him to confirm, since he knew so much. Maybe he has some prototype, or like those three wheelers with Intercooler on them

Is this the B5 or B6 engine that is the 1.8TDI?
