the nissan skyline is actually only illegal in California.

"Mike, Mike, where's your head? Even without it, you're not dead!"

actually. the brain still responds for only about 5-10 seconds

Quote from Jakg :

My point exactly.

so, you don't like Jeeps? if you don't just say so. i know what you mean though. they are boxy.

Quote from BigPeBe :

SUV and proper off-roader are two completely different things.
Real off-roader is great for driving, well off-road. On woods etc.
But a horrible daily-drive. On good nice road those cars are horrible.

A SUV then is a horrible car on everywhere. Very pointless, ugly, drives bad etc. SUV's are something that either soccer moms (stock wheels) or hip hoppers (22" bling bling gay wheels) drive.

ummm, not really. one: you have a good point about the gay 22" chrome wheels. two: soccer moms do drive SUVs. three: a jeep is great for the road. it has ok handling (not like a sports car), and there cheap. you can't go wrong with that. My bro got his Jeep for $600 (i dont know how many pounds or other European money currency that is). My friend got his Jeep for $600. and they last forever! my brothers Jeep has like 160K miles on it. i found one selling for $1500, and it had 180k miles on it. so, Jeeps are cheap, fun, and really good to upgrade.

Quote from Jakg :

Yes, because a Jeep is just perfect if you want a small cheap hatchback....

there not hatchbacks

actually, lets just all say LFS is the best. on LFS, i drifted the chicane at the end of the big straight (BTW, i still use version X), and i cought the tires, and rolled 3 times. so, LFS has the best physics, and i think they wil get better

Quote from Dajmin :

I'm not in Scotland these days
My problem would be getting to the auction (and back if I bought something) in the first place. I don't imagine there's many in the city, and getting to places outside by public transport is a nightmare (hence this weekend's nightmare). And I don't like the new Mazda 3's that much, but if there was a 6 on offer I'd take that

Anyway, enough of this off-topic rambling. I have no cars to show yet

so your planning on getting a Mazda? if your aren't, what kind of a car do you plan on buying? If it is actually possible, get yourself a Jeep! They have FOUR wheel drive (which means you can switch from two to four high, or four low), they aren't easy to roll, great for snow, and you can go(what we americans call it) mudding! Mudding is just playing around in mud with your SUV (make sure two people are along with SUVs); you can also go rock climbing! Make sure you have enough clearence though; plus Jeeps are one of the top SUV's for this stuff. They are also good for gas mileage (or kiloeage?). You can get lift kits, bull bars, lights, snorkels, and other stuff. like this pic right here http://img.alibaba.com/photo/1 ... __Wrangler_Customized.jpg . or here http://www.oramagazine.com/pas ... -issue/finesse/header.jpg . A jeep will be my first car. Oh Yeah! dont get the wranglers. their expensive! if you want something cheap, get the Cherokee

BMW E46 316i 2001, not a rocket but I like it! :eclipseeh

looks good for a Beemer. I like it!

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Personally... I still have deep affection for Trial Mountain. I suck at driving it, but It's still... special to me.

Quote from jibber :

I was talking about the ability to drift in those games aswell. I remember that GT1 was the first game (for me) where drifting worked. GT2 was pretty much the same, and GT3... i loved drifting the RUF Porsches. I could be wrong, and it was actually weak, but it's a long time ago... hehe (still have them all tho, maybe i should give it a go again sometime ).

Midfield was great... my favourite were Deep Forrest and Trial Mountain tho!

Quote from beefyman666 :

A few of the original GT tracks we're pretty good, but Midfield just put the icing on the cake for me.

If I had any skills at all, i'd have a go at recreating it for rFactor or something. I know Grand Valley got recreated (badly) for rFactor, but why oh why didn't they choose to do Midfield.

Special Stage Route 5 is like my calling track. I love those huge corners before and after the straight. Deep Forest if pretty cool, too. Trail Mountain is alright, and Grand Valley has been a joy. Otherwise, they didn't do a reall good job making the realistic tracks, except Circuit De La Sarthe (my favorite realistic track in the whole game).

to me, GT3 is their best effort yet. All the graphics looked better than GT4, and the driving physics were better than GT4. Hopefully, I get out of old school consoles soon, and get a PS3 (or XBOX 360).

Quote from ColeusRattus :

erm, you know that the full GT5's release date is "somewhen in 2009 or 2010"?

oh. I read a GT5 page, and they said this month, or November.

Quote from RossUK :

I tried GT5P with a mustang, and it understeered horribly, and there was a huge squeal every time I moved the steering wheel. Then if I touched a fence or wall, instant unrecoverable spin.

Didn't feel right at all, so no thanks to drifting in that game. Forza 1 was much more tail happy, so I could have a bit of fun with that.

i should have mulitquoted, but Prologue is the quarter, i guess you could say, version. The full is coming out later this month, or November. They are STILL updating right now, but they are almost done.

Quote from V3NOMOUS :

I wouldnt Touch GT4 if you payed me. Hell if I wanna drift I just load up LFS cause its actually real. (mate got me to play GT4 I know and well he payed me $5), I tried to Scandinavian whip the car into drifting that failed so I walked off and installed LFS on his PC and showed him what a real Drifting game looks like

ok, good point

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Uhm, well let me correct myself. I get the car to slide by doing some totaly unorthodox driving. Handbrake, scandinavian flicks and the like. (By the way you can have as much power as you like to drift).

On the rare occasions that I got a car sideways, I'd counter steer and it'd flick instantly the other way. Because it was designed for the DFP, the console controller couldn't turn the wheel fast enough.

you need either comfort tires, road tires, or economic tires. all the standards pretty much.

Quote from chavm481 :

gt4 has no wheel slip, but its a good racing sim other than the ai and the wheel spin.

dude, it has wheel slip. do you want to see one of my replays?

ok. one more reply. this is mostly on baseball

• when you sneeze, your sneeze accelerate from 0-100 mph (0-160 kph) in just 2 seconds
  
• most professional tennis ball players can hit the tennis ball faster than what most cars go. that is 150 mph+ (or 250 kph)
  
• the fastest baseball ever pitched was recorded 100.2 mph
  
• the collision of a baseball hitting the bat lasts 1/1000th of a second.
  
• a professional batter hits a baseball at 6000-8000 pounds of pressure. this is enough to blow your torso and head off!
  
• most people today think Christopher Columbus discovered America. he discovered Cuba.
  
• English is one of the easiest languages to learn, and asian languages are some of the hardest to learn
  
• if you travelled the whole equator, never travelling away from the equator, and stopped at the starting point, you would have travelled 25,000 miles. That is equal to 132,000,000 feet, 40,233.5 kilometers, 40,233,500 meters, and 4,023,335,000 centimeters.
