Kerbed wheels aren't the preserve of learners. Low profile tyres mean that kerbed wheels are usually just a matter of time, unless you never park on the street or in the corners of car parks with evil angled kerbs, and so on. My front left even once rode up the kerb and slipped off causing a nasty dent, although in my defence, it was a damn fine blonde that was distracting me whilst parking.
Wrong. Authorities (in the UK, at least) have been asked what they'd do in this situation, and if you were going so fast that you only appeared in one frame, you wouldn't get a ticket through the post, you'd get a court summons.
Only for rear-facing Gatsos, afaik.
We already know that your father, brother or anyone else in your family appears to be a retard behind the wheel.
On a slightly off-topic but sort of related note, a few months ago I was walking to the gym and crossed over a traffic-light controlled junction. Shortly after crossing, a police Volvo approached with siren and lights on, and as soon as it cleared the junction the driver floored it. The back end of the car squatted down like you rarely see production cars do, and the induction roar nearly drowned out the siren. It sounded as though it would suck up shopping trolleys, small children, and anything else that strays into it's path.
What kind of engineering and modifications are required to have that kind of effect?
Well with curves you can change the image quite daramtically, like so..
Your shots are great, and I didn't even realise it was a tree in the first one until you mentioned it - thought it was the shoreline with vegetation
Very nice pics Highsider - are up sure there's no PPing going on there? The colours look strangely atmospheric, or was it just due to some excellent light?
Thanks Tomba for the kind words about my messing around. Don't think it'll make it in advertising (far too natural - nothing in advertising is "real"!) especially since the dashboard isn't crisp at 100% on any of then. I blame the cars rather hard suspension.
Lol, that's one approach! To be fair, the Slingshot bag is fine for all of one day. But when it's heavily loaded and you're away somewhere, the issue is carrying it on the same shoulder all one day... then the day after... and the day after... and so on. At least with a holster, you can switch shoulders or shift the load as desired. Unfortunately, the holster I want is nearly as big as a backpack. Which kinda defeats the point of having a holster.
Did I ever mention what a bastard you are? I think I've already previously posted the "view" out of my window, and there's no country lanes or neat front gardens or dry stone walls. Photographically you've got a very rich environment. Lucky bugger.
Also, I see they've invented cars in Yorkshire now.
Cool - just wondered, since the only place I've seen a mirror lens is on a shop shelf - never in use.
Yeah a "full size" camera body is a bit of a brick, but the extra weight and size is usually worth it. I usually have the grip on mine, but that makes it difficult to carry. Currently wondering whether to pull the trigger on a massive holster that can take a gripped A700 + long lens in order to save my right shoulder from the Lowepro Slingshot that I currently use most often.
/me pats his camera with anti-shake sensor and anti-dust system that has never needed more than a blast of air from a rocket blower despite changing lenses in many windy, dusty locations. :smug:
@ Sam: I saw the 18-200 VR when I was in a camera shop this week. It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be, given the size of other lenses or similar range.
Yeah yeah, we all know the problems with modern cars - overweight, handling for dummies, etc - but having a modern looking car can surely only be good for LFS.
I'm also assuming that it will be in it's own class, and create some excellent one-class racing inbetween STD and TBO classes.
Nice one devs. C'mon, give us a teaser screenshot.
It's a load of shit. Oversized, woeful handling, way too fast and too powerful for your first car, and it has stripes on it that send the cockometer off the scale.
Sorry, but you did ask.
Whilst Jakg's comments might come across as jealousy given his age and the cost of motoring in Britain, when I say something similar it's absolutely nothing to do with jealousy, given that I went through the "first car" rite of passage some (too many!) years ago. When I was 17 or 18, I took it upon myself to be the best driver possible. I was smooth, quick, safe, courteous, and didn't think it possible to get much better. But ten years later, I have the experience and caution to realise that when I was in my teens, no matter how much effort I put into being a good driver, I simply didn't have the anticipation and realisation of what's going to happen with the unseen twat doing something stupid around the next corner.
Good luck with your Camaro. Don't forget the chest wig and aviator shades. But most of all, try to age mentally by a decade or more before you unleash yourself in it.
I agree! Most players do prefer the XRT over the XRG. Fortunately, the game still contains the XRT and I don't think many players have left over anything to do with the XRT.
Plenty freeloaders have quit LFS, but who cares about them when they were never going to buy it anyway?
Do you walk into your supermarket, pick up a loaf of bread and ask the cashier, "hey, if nobody is using this, can I just take it?".
Or find an unused second hand car for sale in AutoTrader, contact the seller, and ask, "since this car isn't being used, will you just give it to me?"
Not to mention that trading or sharing LFS licences is against the EULA. F*ck off and stop being a freeloader. On occasion, some demoers have been gifted S2 licenses by generous members because they've contributed lots to the community. Others have won them in competitions or events. You've done sod all, yet expect the same.
Oh, and the only person writing jibberish in this thread is you and your half-assed "txt spk".
