Is this officially the longest thread on here yet?  I know IQs arrival went on a bit what with her and 535dboy flirting all over the place.

Not good.  Perhaps a towbar and trailer mounted generator options are needed as part of the factory kit.

I think that one was 60 odd pages. Now that the beasts are up and running this thread will probably stand the test of time, unlike our fleeting relationship!  :))

Wow, so what could potentially be the issue with the card then? I was not even aware there were cards involved, any reason that is required?

I don't think the card is the issue.  These machines need to communicate with their main server before allowing you to take the juice, so I can only assume the system was down.  I will be calling CYC tomorrow to try and get the full story.
