In real life:

65mph in a kart
41mph in a car*
43mph on my bicycle**

*I haven't yet had a driving lesson on a road with a speed limit higher than 40mph
**On a road with a 40mph limit

Your preview doesn't have to be exactly 400*400

If I were you I'd put a new preview up with the correct aspect ratio

Mine has just failed after 2 months

I'm hoping I was just unlucky

Quote from Mustangman759 :

its a shame sarker didnt post his final

Quote from Sarker :

I have been completely forgotten
:uglyhamme

Would you be able to post the high res of your picture, because I'd quite like to use it as a desktop background if that's ok with you?

Infact that's incorrect

Quote from Hyperactive :

Please:

Do not post your new improvement suggestions here! This also isn't a discussion thread about the suggestions! Comment the suggestions in their own threads!

Regarding the suggestion, it's quite a good idea, but it would probably take a lot of work by the layout maker to perfect the AI line and braking/acceleration zones. I don't know how easy it would be to implement a racing line creation system in a user friendly way.

Quote from Silverracer :

Sunday - The Christian Version

The Honda S2000 featured has only 2 seats, which leaves only 1 seat excluding the driver.

Therefore the question 'Which seat can I take?' is sadly invalid :sadbanana

Quote from RasmusL :

Here, the registration fee is 180% of the cars price.

Ouch.

One aspect of motoring in the United Kingdom that is actually affordable:

Quote :

Vehicles registered and taxed for the first time on the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) records will be required to pay a fee of £55.00.

Quote from Jakg :

on a new car depreciation will be the biggest killer.

I think if I wanted to buy a 'new' car I would buy a 6 month / 1 year old one, that had done < 5000 miles. You still get a car that is in practically new condition, and you still get a good chunk of manufacturers warranty, but avoid the massive depreciation

For example, my dad is currently selling a 2010 60 Reg Volvo V60 for £23,000 - the new price of the car is ~£35,000.

I know you need a certain number of mugs to buy new cars in order to supply the used car market later down the line, but I still don't get people who go out and buy brand new cars. In my opinion, the option of customising the features/extras of your car is not worth the premium you pay.

Quote from Sarker :

not final
this can be considered hillclimb?

I would say yes, it can be considered hillclimb. Most hillclimb courses you see are in more rural locations, but I don't see why you couldn't have part of your hillclimb course going through a city street like in your picture.

It's a very nice edit by the way

Quote from 5tag :

Lame entries overall so far... not one of you did think of reversing the direction of the car, simply mirroring the image or adjusting colour balance/contrast etc.

Most of them look the same.

Where are the special effects gone? I'm talking about dust, smoke, rain, glow, debris, dirt, lights, snow - there must be something you guys can think of?

Special thermal imaging version just for you



(this is not a real entry, btw :rolleyes

High Res

Few from MG Live

I might have a few more if I can find some pics that aren't ruined by Silverstone's stupid 50 foot high fences

Quote from tenderfoot :

7) I leave the server at 5/7 votes.
8) I try to reconnect - Host refused connection. Totally unfair!

Vote bans can still be completed after you leave the server. If they couldn't then some n00b could cause a massive wreck and then just exit the server.

No unexpected twist here...

Quote from superman96 :

i live in UAE
how can i pay?

With oil?

Make sure your laptop isn't on the power saving setting, because this can significantly reduce performance.

On my last laptop (which overheated many times and died ), I wondered why my FPS in LFS and other games had suddenly dropped to unplayable levels. The problem was of course the power settings... changed it back to High Performance and it worked fine.

This might not be your problem, but it's worth checking.

Quote from AtomAnt :

Sounds like your mind is made up, never ask a question you don't want an answer to.

solid state, 32 gig start there

He didn't even ask a question illepall :dunce:

I did an edit, although it's probably my worst edit so far... just isn't a very interesting picture

I'll try again next week :doh:

New computer arrived today

Intel Core i7 2600
ASUS P8P67
8GB Samsung DDR3 RAM 1333Mhz
Palit GeForce GTX570
1 TB HDD

Also, should I be worried that SpeedFan is reporting CPU temperature of -60C? (However all four cores are at normal temperatures). There is no sign of this -60C reading in HWMonitor, so is this just SpeedFan failing?

I read somewhere that an unused temperature sensor can give negative values?

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

I bet you could speed in Russia on a bicycle without getting fined........

You can't actually get fined for speeding on a bicycle in the UK (probably because it is not a requirement for bicycles to have speedometers).

However, you can be done for 'wanton and furious cycling'... something I may have been guilty of when doing 42mph in a 40 zone whilst at the extreme limits of both my body and my bike

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

They're nice cars, my Dad has an IS220d.

Is it just me, or is the front seat headroom on the newer Lexus models rediculously low?

I got in this GS430 that my dad is selling today, and even with the seat as low as it will go my head was still almost touching the roof.. and I'm not tall. It seems to be the same on my grandad's IS as well

I might actually get round to improving this if I ever have time.

I could probably do a much better job of the shadows and colour match on the seat with Photoshop & my now greater experience with such software.

Quote from JO53PHS :

I've decided to release this today, because of the rather sudden interior changes. I want the people who like it to get some good use out of it before (or if) a LX Interior update comes.

Back in the day of regular updates :rolleyes:
