Quote from Takumi_lfs :

Why is that crap can of a car so expensive? I mean, there also classic ford/VW's but they arent 3mil worth.

I would sell the car, buy a mansion filled with whores and live life

crap can?

beacuse it's a bugatti, not a ford ¬¬ and there are only 17 in the world, and 4 are in a museum

thanks for all the answers, now i understand perfectly

hi the other thay i was reading some thread and i started to make right click on the flags i didn't know to see wicj country they belong, one of them was the flag of Wales, and then i noticed something, there are flags for the four countries of the UK (England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales) but also a there is a flag of the UK, so why is this? is there any special reason for having the UK flag? why some of you choosed the UK flag instead of your country flag? am i wrong in anything i said?

Quote from Fastwalker :

hmm my newspaper said that it is actually worth € 6mil and that the guy who died knew the car was there and deliberately gave the garage, including the cars, to his niece/nephew because he just didnt have any close relatives

never trust the press

yeah, maybe, but it depends on how bad shape it is, one of these in perfect conditions is worth €8 million

Quote from ADOLF1612 :

Ohh this, a really strange car, hehe, and i heard that it´s value really is €12 million, is that true? because it could break all the records with that price .

Adolfo Herrera.

mm i don't know, i think that you are confusing this bugatti with the bugatti type 41 royale

EDIT: it can really reach any price, this is a unique opportunity to all the collectionists that want one of these babys i read a post directly of a guy that said that he has tryed to buy it but they won't sell it directly, they are going to auction it next month in Paris in Bonhams Auction

Quote from ajp71 :

True enthusiasts appreciate vintage cars

exactly

if the veyron had an engine with 600hp and costed €500.000, nobody would like it, because it's very heavy, boring to drive, and FUGLY :P

mine

i would sell the aston martin and the jaguar and with that money restore it, every millionaire can have a veyron, and it sucks

A classic Bugatti car, which gathered dust in a Tyneside garage for almost 50 years, may fetch up to £3m ($4.35m) when it goes under the hammer.

Relatives of reclusive Newcastle doctor Harold Carr found the 1937 Type 57S Atalante in a garage after he died.

Now the classic car, thought to be one of just 17 built, is to be sold by Bonhams in Paris next month.

It was originally owned by Earl Howe - first president of the British Racing Drivers' Club.

Dr Carr, a former army surgeon, left the contents of a lock-up garage to his family when he died in 2007.

As well as the Bugatti, his nephew also discovered a classic Aston Martin, and a Jaguar E-type in the lock-up.

The nephew, an engineer from Newcastle, said: "We just can't believe it.

"Of course we're delighted and we're going to make sure the money is shared out among the family. It's a wonderful thing to leave."
Only 17 Bugatti Type 57S Atalantes were built.

Earl Howe took delivery of the sporty two-seat Atalante after it was completed in 1937 and kept the car for eight years.

After Earl Howe sold it, it changed hands a couple of times before Dr Carr bought the car in 1955 from Lord Ridley, a member of the Northumberland gentry.

He drove the car for the first few years, but in 1960 it was parked in his garage where it remained until his death.

James Knight, international head of Bonhams' motoring department, said: "I have known of this Bugatti for a number of years and, like a select group of others, hadn't dared divulge its whereabouts to anyone.

"It is absolutely one of the last great barn discoveries.

"The Atalante is incredibly original and, although she requires restoration, it is 'restoration' in the true sense of the word.

"It offers a truly rewarding project to the new owner - who will join a select list of distinguished owners - to play such an integral part in bringing this wonderful motor car back to life."

The car has a remarkably low mileage with an odometer reading of just 26,284.

The Bugatti 57S is a highly coveted car by collectors, with at least four thought to belong to the Musee Nationale de L'Automobile in Mulhouse, France.

Others remain in the hands of private collectors.

Quote from Anathema :

Nice some look like u used a fixed focal length. Cool effect.

thanks, it's very easy, to make the plastic effect, set contrast to maximum, then set saturation to the maximum possible before it's starts to look bad, and then to make the effect of distance then i manually added some blur, it took me like 2 minutes per pic

Quote from BastianB :

the 1st and the 4th are the best ones imo

thanks

Quote from Furiously-Fast :

I got no prob with you using it though. Great work!

yep lol it is a very good pic for doing this, thanks

Quote from Bob Smith :

It does, it's just very slow. I've finished a race with 0.1% left in the tank, and after 20 mins of chatter, the engine died (note this was before the auto-engine turn off feature got added).

yeah, that happened to me many times, specially back in demo when sometimes you had to wait like 10 minutes to make all players press shift+r

Quote from chavm481 :

in sim racing said nfs was crap (as expected by me) so the win goes to Modnight club, i ike havng a mix of arcade and sim, lfs, gt5, burnout paradise, nfs carbon, and now midight club.. yes bouncy cars!

Here are some edited pics where i tryed to make a miniature effect of cars and tracks, i think i didn't achieved very well, i don't know if it's because the screens aren't the best to do this or if it's because it is impossible to do it with game's pics, the screens were robbed of the raw screens thread, if someone doesn't want me to edit their screens just let me know

Here are the pics of the try of LFS in miniature:
