Picking up my DS3 Saturday...

[VinceAlmighty]

Cheers Chris.
I'm still not an owner yet though, so I only feel like an honourary member at the moment.
Going to pick Lana up next Saturday from Birmingham and trading the Rover in for £400 off the deposit.
Excited doesn't even come close to describing how I feel lol

Not long to wait now

Almost the nicest feeling in the world, getting into a new car
One of the worst- waiting for it to be yours
As I always say- plan your first route :-)

[VinceAlmighty]

I think my first route will be home, via some nice country lanes. Might have to take a little detour to get to the country lanes. It was a little bit of a saga actually getting the car, I had originally ordered a silver one with black roof, but told my dealer I'd consider other colours, so it ended up as a race between shark grey/black roof, silver/black roof and black/moondust roof and I'd have whichever one became available first.
Luckily my favourite, shark grey/black roof won! Lol

+1. I have a couple of 16GB Sandisk Cruzer Micro USB drives and they work brilliantly and are barely visible with the cover almost closed. Just noticed they now do them in 32GB & 64GB too.

Cheers Beefy - I just bought a 32gb drive as my 16gb of the same type is now mostly full. As you say they are great in the DS3s

Are these the really small ones you're talking about or the standard size usb sticks?

The ones I linked to have a very small physical size, so small that it only sticks out of the (normal size) USB socket a few mm and the flap that covers it can be almost completely closed to cover it.

I've just noticed I said the wrong name, they're not named micro, they're called "SanDisk Cruzer Fit USB 2.0 Flash Drive", I've edited my post above, sorry for any confusion.

Ah, yeah, I've seen those one, they look good, but I imagine there's a fair few of them located down the sides of seats the world over lol

I've not had one get stuck yet and I just keep the cap in the armrest

[VinceAlmighty]

I think I might have to invest in a couple of those, I have to wait until I get the actual car first though lol.
Changing the subject slightly, have any of you guys gone for the remap? I'm wrestling with the idea at the moment.

[Bigfeet]

Oh yeah, I was only joking about the cassettes lol. I could probably fit all the music I have downloaded on to a 4GB stick. But cheers for the advice anyway.

Vince

Actually using a 4GB stick is what I would recommend, otherwise you spend ages scrolling through stuff trying to find what your after!

Use a couple of different colours which you can house different types of music on, much faster to switch than scroll.

[VinceAlmighty]

Well all of my music is just Rock, so I'd only need the one lol

[Wes79]

But Vince... Hard rock? Classic rock? Soft rock? Maybe a bit of metal?
To be fair, I just create a number of folders on the memory stick for different types of rock and alternative then dump a load if tracks in each folder and can use stalk control to jump folders. Nice and easy

[VinceAlmighty]

Mine's mostly classic rock with a bit of metal and the odd movie soundtrack in there. The mrs is into dance music so I'm sure it won't be long until she's got her own usb stick in there lol

I just have a head unit that shares an interface with an iPod, so is easy to navigate & search music. Then rigged up to that is a 160gb iPod classic. =]
