I accidently hit my mirror off the drain pipe which sticks out from the side of the garage next to where I park... It just folded, with no damage. I'm guessing that doesn't count.
There's some sync issues online, but they're quite rare and Simbin are working on a fix for it, the netcode is very smooth, allows for bumper to bumper racing very easily.
Public servers are full of wreckers as mentioned before, but I race with a community with organised race nights on tuesdays and fridays (and any other days people organise them for) and getting 24 people in evenly matched cars bombing around Brands Hatch Indy circuit is a hell of alot of fun, I can tell you now! :P
In short... for online play, join a community.
Oh plus, Custom skins and addon tracks are supported with RACE 07.
I'm 19 and I drive a 2003 Ford Focus 1.6, my insurance is £1200 per year, by myself, with no other drivers. I was lucky with that quote, the next cheapest was £1800.
I've had 2 previous years experience in a 2005 Toyota Yaris 1.25 (my mums car), which was insured under my dads name (6+ years NCB) at £900 for first year when car was brand new, and £700 last year. I'm now off that insurance and it's now £150
the UK is a pure rip-off for anything related to driving.
so you've never laughed at an Englishman/Scotsman/Irishman joke? (or Blonde/Brunette/Redhead for that matter). Or any other jokes like that. Or poked fun at some other area of the world or even another area of the UK.
These jokes exist, it's just poking fun, every region has their rivalries, Newcastle's is with Sunderland, we take the piss out of each other as much as the other does. (same goes with north/south, England/Scotland, England/Wales, England/Ireland - I can see a pattern here)
Works both ways you see.
All I'll say is try and get a sense of humor. It's a very handy thing to have.
the MetroCentre (shopping centre near Newcastle) has had their decorations up and switched on for the last week or 2... absolutely crazy! It's not even bonfire night yet!!!
