Glad to hear this. Knew he wouldn't fit in Top Gear and it's bothersome to think that someone at the BBC thought he was the perfect one to carry on the show at a pivotal point where the show had to do well and those fronting, be likeable. I'm not on the whole Matt fanbus either, he's got something but it needs worked on more before he develops his persona for the show imo. Harris has been stepping it up since his first appearance on Extra Gear for me. He wasn't looking well suited to being in front of the camera in those early moments but as time has gone on it's been amazing to see him properly grow in confidence in his presenting ability. Could do without Eddie Jordan and I am not really sure how Sabine can properly fit in. They need to rethink the guest interview and maybe the celebrity lap. I like the rallycross aspect but with the weather we get in the UK it's evident that the course will get to be real nuisance and may require two lapboards to keep track of the differing conditions they experienced on the day. I wonder if bringing in the u-turn and a jump in the typical lap could work?

I think you will need to clarify just how much 'from the 80s' the car needs to be Softie. Is it a case of the make and model and so its subsequent variations are allowed or does the make and model NEED to be from the 80s itself. ie; 70s Countach no, 80s models yes?

When I first saw the image I thought this was a Jupiter version of the typical earth aurora shots we see often but as it's using UV light, it's not.

That is cool but severely misleading no? :bdown:

The rear of the new Panamera is a vast improvement over the first-gen but it's still got that side profile that I still believe is a love/hate thing. The new Citroen looks sharp, as it should being the demo its aimed at. I only wish they had carried the light design of the front into the rear in some way. And they've done this redesign very well, as it now appeals to more ages than what its predecessor did imo.

This week has flown by and I still haven't caught up on the latest yet. In fact I think I am two EGs behind too. And the footy starts back up from tonight!

You weren't kidding! :eek: The Mustang and desaturated Golf are real nice. :p

Well I do like this...

I would like to see myself moving somewhere that has some good weather more often than not. Where that would be, I do not know. So much has gone on and could be set to go on in this world that answers I would have given 10 years ago are just not viable anymore. :(

Nice shots cal and you could always post your pics in the new Gallery. Give people the option whether to view them or not. :cool:

It's on the agenda for sure but it's me that needs to cobble it together and I am a moron. :derp:

Thanks Ry. As most of it is down to myself to make happen it will be no quick thing and chances are I will probably break something else when going all mad scientist on it. :para: @Mike: Thanks man.

Thanks Anders, that is good to hear as I have been staring it for ages and have only had myself and the blue team to get feedback from. And despite their observations being ever so helpful, it is good hearing from someone who has only seen it now. You're good to go now! The main point of this is to give people what they have (seemingly) been wanting for a while - a place where they can post their pics and vids in an easy manner. For a while we have heard how people wanted to post things but found it annoying to do so due to the broken up sections, this takes care of that does it not? And this is only part of what we have in mind for this place going forward. Just a bloody nuisance it's me that's gotta do it. :lol:

Please bear with us while we put the relevant permissions in place. :warnsaw: //UPDATE: Permissions are a go and so now should be you! :nods:

[headline]Gallery is NOW OPEN![/headline] You have probably seen us on the blue team (aka staff) talking about things that cannot be talked about or mentioning stuff that is being worked on and this is one of them. This media gallery is in response to us hearing how you do like to share your media you have taken from games and real life, but that it's hard to do so on the community because of the break-up of titles and sections we have. And that's completely understandable and is something we have wanted to do something about for a long time but, there just wasn't an adequate solution for doing so. Until now and even though it has been a lot of work, I personally feel it was worth it and hope that you guys will too. ...oh yeah the link is up there ^ :D On smaller devices the gallery is disabled. It is something we want to get working on and have done some tests in how to go about it but it's a big job and I wanted to get it on for the majority of our visitors. Please note this is essentially in Beta and so you may experience the occasional bug or glitch. Should this happen please post in here the 'what, when and why' so we can investigate the issue, hopefully find it and squash it. First and foremost: the gallery is for YOUR stuff. We want to encourage you to share your own photo mode shots, in-game captures, youtube videos and real life media with us. You can copy either the page link itself or the direct link and paste them in the forum to show your stuff in threads. (but not elsewhere as a hotlinking feature is in place) 1.

Usually it's after youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXXXXXX or the final youtu.be/XXXXXXXX and copy that section only and copy the video url either from the address bar or by right clicking on the video itself. [uPDATED: 28/9/16] choose the category that best fits your video's subject (check if there is a dedicated title option) enter a meaningful title that describes your image (example if it's from DRIVECLUB have that in the title) the description is where you can explain more about the image than what the title can and you also have the ability to use basic bbcodes such as bold, italic, underline, font, colour and smilies.

[*]Depending on your status you will either have to wait for your update to be Approved or it will be auto-approved and be ready for viewing. [ADDED: 30/1016] After posting there is a 60 second wait before you can upload another media item. This is in place while we judge the performance of this new feature on our system. And again it is something we will look at in time. AAAAAHHH ERROR!!: Should you receive any errors, take note of what they say as we have done our best to inform you as to what may have happened. If you get the 'unknown' message however, post in here so we can check on it. Also be aware that with videos, if the thumbnail can not be retrieved due to issues at YouTube's end (rare event I know) you will not be able to add your video. Any questions, please be sure to ask and either myself or the blue team will do our best to answer. :nuts: Updates 2016 UPDATE:// 17/12/16 – Filesize limit for images has been increased to 3MB. UPDATE:// 30/10/16 – Updated Gallery to include Open Graph meta information on main parts and also changed lightbox to that used on forum to enable better functionality. UPDATE:// 28/9/16 – Multiple-uploads, YouTube url support and auto-approval implemented. (see this post) UPDATE:// 15/7/16 – Implemented a display of the latest 5 media items posted to the gallery on the main forum home for members in order to help boost the viewability of stuff that's posted. UPDATE:// 15/7/16 – The blue team are now notified of media awaiting approval so this should help in the amount of waiting required. :)

Another good battle race this one is shaping up to be.

POLL OPEN! :D Don't forget if you entered you MUST vote, for your entry to be valid.

ENTRIES CLOSED! /lateagain Please don't reply until there is a POLL OPEN comment.

Well just like I said and wanted, the rain came out and shook up the grid. Some risk takers decided to go with slicks and this was completely the wrong decision, whereas others had the perfect setup along with the absolute no fear to go balls to the wall and drive like the world was about to end unless they won the race. And that is exactly what Sutton in his MG did. Boy was he in the zone and dialled in. Throwing the car about like it was perfect conditions and the grip was never in doubt... but on greasy ever getting wetter track. Full credit to the boy, he drove an absolute blinder. The safety cars helped bunch up the grid at times but the work still needed to be done and he did it. Now if all the rest of the remaining races could be in the rain, who knows what the MGs could end up doing. But the summer break is on and an AGE of waiting is beyond us as the next round isn't until the end of July. I always hate this time of the BTCC calendar. :impat:

Really want this rain to stick around and get a bit heavier. Would throw in a factor that would reduce some of the RWD advantage Croft delivers.

Last day for entries people!!
