thanks diablo mate. weres my welcome note lol

[Eudemon]

I've decided to use Maserati MC12, I never drive that car even though it's brilliant so I'm going to use that for the cruise if that's alright.

[Nipper]

yea thats alright diablo

 

but im afraid i wont be able to make it as my TV has broken :(

 

basically the scart socket on the back has come out, and im not an expert but i know thats not good

 

so i am going into town tomorrow and buying a 19" LCD HD TV to replace it

 

so if you dont mind diablo can you take over as i have no other TVs that are new enough apart from my parents in the front room (not allowed to use it that early grrr) to work the scart stuff, ie they dont have a scart connection

 

sorry

[Eudemon]

Aww man nipper sorry to hear that bro, sods law on the timing eh? Yeah I'll take over the cruise if everyone is cool with that. Get back soon though.

[J0NNY82]

Yeah iam up for a cruise.

Ill be in my Chevy Camaro or a shelby gt500

[Nipper]

@ Diablo do you want me to update the first post or do you want to do it?(i think you can)

 

sods law on the timing indeed, but TBH its been loose for a while now, will be back tomorrow hopefully in HD glorified goodness :D

 

i may be down but im certainly not out

[Eudemon]

*James Bond henchman* 10 minutes and COOOUUUUNNNTTT ing.*/James Bond henchman*

[Nipper]

post pics of how it was ok

 

also, the route i had planned goes from the merc dealer to the south east lighthouse (demo area)

 

then through the city at low speeds and on to the track for a few laps

 

after that i was gonna head up to the north west lighthouse, then back to the dealer

 

after that it was gonna be officially over, but i was gonna stick around with those who wanted to

 

:D

 

i know its a long route but its to celebrate the long life of a great forum

 

i tried jamming the scart socket back in and rewiring it back together again, it erm, well.... sorta works, well i get sound from the right speaker

[Eudemon]

nipper if you can make it then do it mate, you know these roads hell of a well and it would be strange not having the first member at the first cruise.

still fiddling mate, i no longer get the right speaker sounds:oops:

 

this is driving me :taz:

 

EDIT: if you have a loose SCART socket on your TV either get a new TV ASAP, or dont yank at it, thats the lesson i have learnt from today

 

i would have put it through the ariel socket, but i dont have a SCART to ariel lead

[Eudemon]

Myself, baldred and woza are waiting, we will be leaving in 15mins. My mic is dodgy but I will be recording this so hurry up.

[Nipper]

ok i think i got it sorted slightly

 

10 minutes from now i guess?

 

EDIT: sorted, on my way

[J0NNY82]

guys iam sorry for all of the problems i had with joining, but hopefully we'll have another cruise soon, and ill be ready for that one.

[Eudemon]

I don't think it was your fault or anyone's it seems the servers are maybe being worked on or something, it was fun and I'll get some screens and photo's up later or tomorrow.

 

Sorry about the hassle, the delay, the annoyances etc. Wasn't exactly what was intended, hopefully this wasn't a case of start as you mean to go on. lol

[Eudemon]

Sorry guys I'm watching my little brother and he's woken up so I had to quit and get him back to sleep. Thanks to all that participated and let's hope the next one goes a hell of a lot smoother than this one did.

[Baldy]

It was a good cruise sorry i left unexpectedly my xbox froze so i didnt bother rebooting it. Hope to do it again (hopefully with better connections)

[Eudemon]

Added some video caps from the cruise to the first post, will add the photo's later on today (it's 3am right now) and see about the video also.

[woz12]

very nice pics diablo keep up the good work.

[J0NNY82]

yeah very nice pics.

[Baldy]

Very nice pics there. Any idea about the video?

[Nipper]

was good, got my new TV now too WOOO

 

so hopefully no more dodgy SCART connections

 

only thing i gotta worry about is gettin all the cables in the right places(no SCART socket required for the HD bit), although i seemed to have ended up with a yellow plug that dont go nowhere????

 

is that normal???

That would be right Nipper, that is for a composite output to a TV that does not support HD, you dont need it just tuck it out of the way somewhere, or leave it hanging out of the bottom like it is on my one, lol.

 

Have HD fun mate.

glad we got that one sorted, its actually plugged into the SCART bit in the SCART socket so its connected but not really :chairfall:

[ll STS savvy ll]
