I'm posting right now using my iPhone 4, does that count?
I've been using it a lot since I got it on Wednesday, and I have to say that it's worth it even for the £500 price tag. I've made use of nearly every new feature, and updating from an 8GB iPT 2nd gen, it's especially great.

I've even bought that Jenga app that Steve Jobs used to demonstrate the gyroscope at WWDC.

Another bump.
Lotus 7, GT-R R35, 2 Sciroccos, Caparo T1, Megane Coupe and what looks like an E30 and a 1 series.

Boston - The Launch
September 1986

Bump.
Just spotted a 458.

If the Lancia 037 is part of that pack (I think it was one of the winners), then I'm definitely buying it.

I still don't get how they make such a logo...

Draw a smiley face, draw a 'side profile' line through the middle, then colour fill the new part?

It's probably a case of 'buy it before x date and it's free, after x date it's *price*', if there's any confusion. I think some iPod/Phone apps have done this before.

Saw a red F430 softtop, a BMW 5-series wagon from the 80s (possibly a 525i), and some sort of car from the 50s or 60s, looked like a Jaaaag.

It said it should take 15 minutes for it to come up, so I'm not sure if you can see it just yet.

You win the thread.


Anyway...

Don't all copies of GTRE include Race07? I've yet to see one that hasn't got the little banner at the top of the box stating that.

OP: Do you by any chance have a local GAME? That's where I got my GTRE and Race ON from. Maybe also a CeX like someone else suggested, although that would depend on if anyone decides to sell it there.

Saw a red 350Z and a black DB7 in traffic today.
Has anyone seen the 370Z? They look great in person.

Edit a Scirocco into it and claim it's the future :P
In seriousness, I agree with what Crashgate3 said, try and visualize it in the past.

Two Vettes, an R8, a Golf, 996 Carrera, and two other cars that are too far away to tell.

I think it's their generic 'humorous' error message. I've got that and the 'I call shennanigans' one as well, nothing to worry about.

I have an Xbox 360 steering wheel, (name's in the title) and it works just fine with my PC and LFS, but whenever the wheel is centered but being very slightly moved (light steering, for example) is spasms, and usually sends my car out of control.

The wheel it's self doesn't spasm, but the in-game one does, and so does the axis in the wheel's properties under the Control Panel.

I've asked a few people and they suggested to disable FFB (the wheel doesn't use it anyway, and I'm not bothered about it) and remove deadzones, but neither have worked.
I've also updated to the latest driver through Control Panel.
Any suggestions?

HEHEHAHAHAHA dadge, seriously, you're off the hook man. I love it.

I'm pretty sure he meant disconnect

Quote from destinyistresure5 :

DON'T READ THESE THREADS THEN!!

Okay. Soo, there is a chance they could have got a picture of a Scirocco and photoshopped it.. Everyone buys S2, big profits, false hopes... etc.

I really doubt they're shopped. There's also a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsYGl5fK93Q

EDIT: Missed all the new posts :/

or those 'become a fan to see picture' groups, and the picture is always some overused meme picture everyones seen 100 times already.

That's a massive pet hate for me, I always find my email inbox filled with people inviting me to them :|

There was one (the first one I saw) that didn't need you to invite 'ZOMG1000friends', I decided to try it and it turned out that it linked to some random Blogspot thing that nagged you to take a survey or else you couldn't see the supposed 'picture'.
My reaction was 'Close tab, avoid 'become a fan to see' groups'.

My beast

That reminds me of that Suzuki Pikes Peak rally car from Gran Turismo 2.

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :

lol my 4870 idles at 78C. When gaming it goes over 80C. These are normal temps btw.

I wouldn't exactly say that's normal. :/
Even my laptop, which has been known to get hot quickly and many times, has an 8400M that idles at around 45C, only getting to 80C with a really graphically intensive program, and that's a laptop chipset.

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :

The Radeon 5000 series cards have all those abilities which you described in your first post, namely they can display very high resolutions and all have HDMI, DVI, and even DisplayPort connectors.

This. My 5770 was only £115 or £105, can't remember, but it has 2 standard connections and a HDMI, I had 2 monitors with a combined resolution of 3150x1050, and I had no drops in FPS in games or W7 whatsoever.

Your CPU should be fine, I get 60FPS at max settings on a Core 2 Duo with 1.86GHz and a GeForce 7800GTX, and about 200FPS on my newer machine.

I know.

I just do not find 3 triangles funny.

Actually, typing the keys in the picture with a program like Notepad spells out 'The Game'

Quote from ars_pt :

Hello,

Great setup... I am trying to buy one just like yours... how many FPS with full grid?

Thanks,

It'll probably be pretty high FPS, my machine is almost the same, the only differences being the CPU and HDD, but it's still a quad core.
I get about 70FPS at the back of a full grid at maximum settings, no Dynamic LOD reduction etc.

On another note, I upgraded my PC to 4GB of RAM, it plays GTAIV much better I can get about 50FPS at full settings with no stuttering when it's 'streaming' things.
