LOL at you 'run-in' with Dogmann. Flooding your inbox crying is just not on for a grown man.
There is an R8 killer actually, it is the M1 (Homage) and scheduled for release next year- more like in 2013 as it will be unveiled next year.
I also disagree with Clarkson on Porsche. Porsche is actually planning a mean supercar, something at the top end of the scale. It is going to be a mid-engined version, I guess Clarkson will appreciate it better since he is always complaining about the placement of the engine.
Looking forward to that one.
You are right, the Koenigsegg is just brutal while the Bugatti is civil, I still like the Bugatti though. To me it is a Rolls Royce of supercars.

@all
Just thought I'd share my experiences with my moving from Vodacom to Cell C.
Firstly, the advantage that Vodacom has over Cell C is extensive network coverage and that's it. Given that they have been in this field longer than CellC it really isn't that surprising.
Cell C has far better value for money. The one and major negative on Cell C is a patchy network but because we get to roam on Vodacom that negative is sort of nullified.
I'm still on prepaid with Cell C as I'm waiting for a perfect phone- the 9900 is almost it but am waiting on RIM to clarify the QNX situation with the phone- but their contract deal are super, waaaay better than Vodacom's. I used to pay Vodacom over a thousand for the two contracts but I could easily pay less than a thousand on Cell C with those two contracts. I'm still with Vodacom on the one contract and I'll keep them for the simple reason of not wanting to be out of communication in case of network failure. The funny thing is I experienced that with my Voda number while my Cell C was just fine. In fact, the whole of SA on Voda experienced that and it made laugh and be thankful I moved one number to Cell C.
On prepaid, Cell C still offers amazing value. I have been getting those free smss, 500mb data and on-net minutes per week though the last one is pretty useless since I don't have too many contacts on Cell C.
I am spending about R250 per month and getting a whole lot of extras whereas I used to spend around R800 on one contract on Voda with not so much in terms of value.
Anyway, the sooner I get a good Blackberry I will move to contract with Cell C. A part of me is seriously tempted by the 9900, I may just get it.

LOL Hobbs!
No, I haven't changed my mind, don't know about wanqs.
Today was a good workout for the boys but let's be honest, they were not expected to lose this one. Fiji are physical and that's just it. I'm waiting for the Boks to come up against a better side to see if they will change my mind about them defending this trophy.
Otherwise, we saw glimpsss of what the Boks can do when they are into their zone.

Thanks for that info on your experience with Cell C, Dups, i doubt i'm going to stay on Vodacom, i think i may also make that move, Voda have totaly lost it, ive complained to them of issues on Twitter, which has lead to them calling me, asking what the issue is, then they say they will look and try sort the issue out, they update me on a weekly basis with same ol': " Dear Customer, kindly be advised Vodacom is currently aware of the network problem experienced in your area. We are attending to the problem and will contact you once the problem is resolved. Kind regards, Vodac om Waseema Martin" takes them a few weeks to 2mmths to fix the issue, then it works fine for like two days then back to the same ol' cycle again.
Seems also if you plan on getting a BlackBerry that Voda as of last week are a BIG no-no.

Hows your X10 running? using a custom ROM?
I still believe Boks have a good chance of taking it, now JAPAN on thdm other hand are DEFINETNJY not taking anything home, they realy took a major beating from the All Blacks.
In other news, Man United continue their winning streak  but Pirates lose to Chips...i mean Chiefs  all good though, we got the MTN8.

Ive used two custom ROMs, the 1st was Wolfbreaks ROM which is based on the stock 2.3 SE one, but with some bloat removed, FPS Cap removed so now my X10 can hit upto 60fps in games and it also makes the UI much smoother and faster and it has some SE Arc additions like the Bravia Engine and xLoud.
Its a fully functional ROM as all he did was take the stock X10 SE 2.3 ROM and modify it, so its very reliable, its the ROM in sticking with for now.
Other ROM i tried was TripNRaver's Android2.3.5 MIUI ROM, it was a good ROM, the UI was simply amazing but it got very unstable at times, i used for a week and it suddenly began freezing and acting up.

Hey, who are you calling Chips?! 
Funny how you and I like the same cars in BMW and Porsche and be totally different in football, I am Chiefs and Arsenal and you are Pirates and ManU.
I actually wished for us to lose that match so that V.V can be fired. I'm not impressed by him, he has failed us for two seasons already and I don't see him succeeding this season either.
You know, I had used Vodacom for ten years before the switch and I never envisaged me changing them as I thought they were miles ahead of every other network. I actually started at MTN and they were crap back then. I agree with you, Vodacom have completely lost the plot. With all their financial muscle they should be invincible in every department. I haven't really made up my mind about the second contract with them, for now it is staying put. The Blackberry fiasco last week made me glad I left them as I'm getting a Blackberry next, they just don't know what they are doing anymore, contradicting each other like that in public shows how they have lost their way.
Cell C has really changed and it is amazing how much value they offer for money.
I'm currently enjoying the benefits of Cell C prepaid until I go contract. I don't know if I can wait longer for QNX Blackberries after I played with the 9900 last week. I was so close to taking it on contract, if I didn't have an appointment that time I would've taken a contract out for that phone. I typed on that thing and it felt amazing, definitely better than the P1i and miles better than my 9700. That keypad is stunning! I'm really, really, really tempted. The problem is that Blackberry is showing a demo of their upcoming QNX phones next month and I'm afraid if I take the 9900 now I will regret when they demo those phones next month. It will also be prudent for me to wait in that I may get clarification on what will happen with the 9900 as far as QNX goes, I'm pretty sure they will address that next month. If they promise an update to QNX on the 9900 then it is mine the next day.
