    Funny, but amongst my lot in the armed forces, the Bell and Ross go out the window, as do G Shocks etc. Everyone swears by the F91W, the older the better. And this is a fine, fine example.

    I went in all in Project Cars 2 and a Logitech G29 rig. I got bored after literally a few days and flogged it all.

    My research told me this was the set up to go for, but it just wasn't for me.

    On one holiday, I did similar to rjwanderer and combined a very active week in Snowdonia with a (largely) more relaxed week on the island.

    As above, Talk Photography.

    I've bought and sold cameras, lenses and all manner of accessories on there without issue. I am wary of eBay.
