1.5 hous to London for me though, and then when i get there i (read, blame my dad!) got off the docklands railway, asked a woman where to go, and we got back on it again! We said we were auto express subscirbers after they tried to sell us one, and they said "Oh, then have this free bag" it had water, a copy of Auto Express and a kit kat in it! they didnt even check to make sure we were! the free coke at the end was nice and cold!

Lol - I paid for that magazine!!

And yes, the coke was very nice before getting on that dusty, old bus

Quote from Jakg :

i got there ~10-ish and was there until 5, and after 12 it really got packed, when i say kids i mean 8-13 year olds who want to put their hands all over the cars, sit in them and make "vroom vroom" noises and pull the interior to bits, who run infront of the camera, knock you to one side, talk ******* about all the cars and are generally a nuisance, luckily the "tuned" (read, ruined) cars were out of the way so that they could go over there and drool over some 52,252 watt speaker playing some awful music, and no im only 15! but it annoyed me as i went round first and had a look at everything, then i went back around to take some pics and not only was it packed, but because of the people they moved the restricting things to stop you getting in some of the cars (ie the Barabus) alot further away, making pics a lot harder!

about the elise if i didnt say - at the Lotus stand they let anyone on, and they let them sit in the cars, and tons of little children wanted to sit in this one Black Elise, they all had trouble getting in, and put their hand on the roof to help themselves in, result being a roof smeared with hand prints, and the door seal had been rubbed by so many little arms that it was hanging off!

the other thing that annoyed me was that my dad is looking for a car to replace his Vauxhall Omega, he looked at quite a few (ie the Vectra, Mondeo/Focus, Kia Magenta illepall etc) and NONE of them would give him a brochure, instead he had to give them his name and address and have them sent to him, when he could of read them on the train home! i picked up all the promotional stuff i could see for the cars (not services), and from the whole show i got:

1 Smart EV (electric vehicle) brochure
1 Carbon Fibre sales brochure (thought it was for the Barabus !)
1 Brooke Double R brochure
1 Carber brochure
1 Connaught Type-D Styracse GT (is that right?) brochure
1 Corsa Bag
1 Kia Bag

and thats from a whole flaming motor show! i tried to get the 722 pack, but he wouldnt give me one, oh well, i still got a gimpse!
[/rant]


EDIT - Sorry about that, i may be 15 but im 50 on the inside!

Lol im 15 too - I didn't really get stuck with the kids and i didn't even see the Lotus stand lol - I got a KIA bag and the rest were magazines i bought and a sweet from a woman who jumped out of nowhere and said "take" - WTF lol.

The best car there must've been the M6 Convertible (minus the dropping water )

My dad was really looking forward to looking at the Audi stand for the new TT vut unfortunately they weren't there so we will have to wait for it to come into the showrooms or something

The really good thing about having the show at Excel is that i'm only about 10/15 Mins away so no 1.5+ Hour journey to Birmingham

I'm very happy (and surprised) to see this not ending in a flamewar.

Way to go, guys

LOL I was/am wrong so it's only right that I admit to it and take responsibility for it!

Quote from kuba.g :

Sorry but I still don't get it.
Does this mean that I can play over a LAN network with 3 friends (4 computers in totall) from which I unlock 3 the first month, and the 4th the 2nd month?
However I may play only with three from the four computers on the INTERNET?

So I can have as many computers as I want unlocked on a LAN network, but only 3 of them may play on the INTERNET at thesame time?

Am I right or not?
Please excuse me for my n00bness in this area but I want to get this right before I buy a licence....

Kuba.

You can unlock any computers you want with your unlocks (depending on how many unlocks you have) but you can only use one at a time to go online!!

Quote from Jakg :

OMG THAT WAS THE WORST DAY TO GO! full of kids, thus all the cars were tucked away and you couldnt get close, look at the Elise with the ruined doors for proof

It was 1st full day i believe - It wasn't too packed IMO.

I got there around 10:30/11:00 so wasn't too late and my tickets were free complimentary for any day so nb really.

The Zoom Zoom challenge looked good but i was with a 15 yo and a 17 yo so you have to be 21 to drive it which is a shame.

When you say kids i'm guessing you are old enough to drive so what do you drive or go in i.e. adventure land etc

Historic car racing - Lets show some respect for our racing ancestors

Quote from Jakg :

Just got back from it, was ok, if lacking VAG! saw some nice cars (ie the Barabus and a McLaren F1 LM!), no less than 3 SLR's, a leaking BMW garage and a sneak peak at the brochure for the McLaren SLR "722 Edition"

To see some of me and my dads pics - erm, nope, that link dont work right!

im too cheap to buy a proper flickr account, so look at this page - http://flickr.com/photos/jakg4peaches/

OMG i went same day as you!!

Lol I found BMW to be so "up their arses" - They oooo need their own little stand lol

I found the Excel show quite dissapointing compared to the one at the NEC but i did enjoy the adventure land... Even if it was with the complimentary pass from KIA lol

Also i did manage to shove the vol up in that Pink C2 which was quite fun until i saw some 2 year old in the back lol

Did anybody see the escalade with like 26's and that pull-out amp shelf?? And that mini with the chain wheel and gear stick??

Quote from Noccy :

I find this thread rather amusing.
Mr. sam came to a CopsandRobbers server with the name "SP" and didnt care one bit about the rules..ramming everyone and almost getting himself banned.

While i was driving around with the name "Drug lord and his wife"..just roleplaying a bad guy and hoping some cop would chase me around.
So after a while i checked the nameslist and saw someone called "1x Arms Dealer 2x Guns"..thus i changed my name to "hezbollahrockettransport" and drove up to his car asking for 2crates of AK's and some explosives. After al we are roleplaying right?

At this point Mr.arms dealer(didnt know it was sam up till then) goes a bit mental and speaks to me, like he pointed out above "u bastard change your name right now or i will report u and have u banned!!"
I pointed out his name was Arms dealer and that armsdealers are the cause of many deaths too, but Sammy didnt listen ,he just kept shouting about banning and that i had to change my name right away.
So i explain this is a cops and robbers server..where people roleplay a cop or a bad guy,and that his nick (armsdealer) even made me change my name. No use..more namecalling and threathning to ban me. From there on i ignored him and just kept driving . Sam will even confirm i didnt start any slagfest or argued with him any further

So sam disconnects and makes this thread..which i find quite illogical and hypocrite since his own nick was armsdealer at that time, which inspired me to go for the hezbollah name.

And to Dejavu and Kurent ..yes im a attention craving kid who was abused by everyone in my family, nice of u guys to make such a striking analysis on the basis of a nick in a roleplaying server. (sam has proved here that he loves calling people names and likes a bit of drama around him, maybe u can analyse him too)


Here's some cake and a flower for anyone who was offended :cake: [etals:]

You did?

I didn't see that otherwise i wouldnt've reacted so badly as i just thought you were leaving it there without playing - I didn't think

I have to say - I have over-reacted and i do apologise for my actions.

The reason why i was so upset/annoyed is because i have close family living in Israel and i am already quite worried. I do know that Lebanon is also affected badly but it's hard to feel for them when i don't know much about what is going on there - All i know about is the Israeli side.

I hope we can get a fresh start in the manic CnR Server... See you soon

Quote from DejaVu :

You say u weren't really affected by it, yet you go to the trouble of posting a picture about it and making a post.

Little noob? Careface - k mate, define noob please?

As requested by the noob, for the noob -

A newbie is a newcomer to a particular field, the term being commonly used on the Internet, where it might refer to new, inexperienced, or ignorant users of a game, a newsgroup, an operating system or the Internet itself. The term is generally regarded as an insult, although in many cases more experienced/knowledgeable people use it in purposes of negative reinforcement, urging "newbies" to learn more about the field or area in question.
Variant spellings, such as newb, nub, noob, nooblet, foob, noobcake and, in Leetspeak(1337), n00b are numerous and common in Internet use. The term newb itself is usually used to refer to a person who is new to the field in question, whereas noob is used as an insult.
