CLR-GTR

Well I saw quite some Jags S-Type, X-Type and even that Sovereign and a Daimler in the Dutch offer below 4K. I was a bit surprised on that. On first photo-sight they seemed in good condition too, but I thought this would be average people wanting cars, they won't have the space to park a Jaaaaaaaaag or they won't be taken seriously anymore by their colleagues (who you think you are, the CEO?!) :lol: Didn't find any Brera's though, just those old GTV's and a couple of GT's. That Range Rover looks like a lot of car for the money.

The volvo looks awesome, a true big coupe. Too bad it's for now just an illustration, a photoshop on the true concept car (which also looks good): Also seems the F-type is on its way of becoming more accessible to the public. Jaguar has been seen testing a 2.0 four-cylinder powered F-type coupe, perhaps as competition against the 718 I'd assume?

Considering you'll be too young to know about cars, you'll be able to live with this choice. :D Actually I just wanted something else than a Merc ML, the only X5 was for sale and Holland's most notorious garage and the rest of the list was nothing but worn out American junk. This is by far the tidiest vehicle I came across by the way. Davez car: Jaguar Sovereign 4.0 V8 For sale at €3.950 Dave would prefer a Jaguar Sovereign 4.0 V8 or a W140 or W220 S500. That's what I first said before explaining why he'd go for an MG ZS with Union Jack on the roof. Instead, he did choose the Jaaaaaaaag, Hooray for Dave :D Specialz car: Volvo C70 T5 For sale at €1.590 So that leaves us with 1.601 euros... Say goodbye to 1590 of them, Dave wants a good looking machine that isn't a Merc and can GO when it needs to (or at least could when it was new).

New TV commercial of an insurance company, they are known for pulling off ads like these that generate a lot of attention, often because they're funny and well thought of.

I forgot 3 more games: A2 Racer, A2 Racer II and A2 Racer III Europa Tour. Racing through dutch, english and german cities and highways, starting with utter snails of cars and working your way up to the true supercars of that time (>2000), all unlicensed and low-detail ofcourse. So recognizable, the routes, the scenery, the cheap traffic vehicles and city buses, the european police. I guess old british farts should know it under the names London Racer or M25 Racer, but that's just a port ;)

I suppose this only goes for me because I use keyboard, but under Input options of controllers, if I click the advanced tab I have 3 sliders for acceleration, braking and steering slow<------------->fast. Maybe try that (if this is also available for controllers.

I only had the AP301 to install the latest driver (Nvidia 365.10) and it picked up right after it was installed.

I'm loving the photomode, best one I've ever got a chance to mess with. I'm sold, Can't wait for a full version of this game to come to PC. Only thing I miss right now is rims selection but I guess they had to cut content somewhere lol. [ATTACH]26109[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]26110[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]26111[/ATTACH]

Me: i7 4820K with 16GB RAM and a GTX970 from MSI. Game runs at default High settings, runs very smooth and looks awesome. Very stable from what I can tell, I haven't found a bad point yet. Alt+tabbing has never been so smooth+easy in any other game before.

:D [ATTACH]26108[/ATTACH]

Haven't fiddled with graphic settings yet but so far it's smooth and imo perfectly playable. I like it so far :D

This is my list, sorted to what impact they had on me. It's basically a whole picture, not just driving around but also the soundtrack, the atmosphere and design of the game, pre-release artwork/videos, etc. I could have opted to summarize the first three as "classic NFS'es" but that will make 102% of the people think I mean Underground 1 and 2. Need For Speed 5: Porsche Unleashed/Porsche 2000 Need For Speed 4: Road Challenge/High Stakes Need For Speed 3: Hot Pursuit Test Drive Unlimited Colin McRae Rally 3 Colin McRae Rally 2005 Mercedes-Benz World Racing Mercedes-Benz Truck Racing Hard Truck: Road to Victory

I like both of em, what I don't like about Mike's one is the color of the seat belts. I'd have those in the same color as the seats.

Here, have a teaser (click the image to see a video because embedding was disabled):

No tensions? Pujolar confirms split with Toro Rosso

Then at least this move is thanks to the next reasons, as mentioned by Sport Bild after an interview with Helmut Marko himself: - Kvyat was in the shadow of the much better and more constant performing Ricciardo. He put too much pressure on himself to try and become better, and failed doing so. - RB's and TR's teams are contracted by Red Bull, not by the racing teams. This allows for easier moving of drivers between the teams. - Kvyat is still considered too good to be kicked out of the Red Bull racing teams family. Combining points above, they were able to keep him within the ''family'' by putting him in the other team, while also giving him a more relaxed mindset. This is also confirmed by Christian Horner who said Kvyat has a change to proof his potential again in a team he's familiar with, in order to get back into shape. Max Verstappen in the mean time has a great potential, and bringing him to the A-team might be the only way to keep him within the "family" despite the pull from Ferrari and Mercedes.

It's official, Red Bull has confirmed it and Max Verstappen has also released an official statement thanking the Torro Rosso team for everything and expressing his joy on this special and quicker-than-expected opportunity. It's also an immediate measurement, he'll be driving his first meters in the RB car on Friday. Finally he now has a proper car :D EDIT: several sources say there are more reasons for the transfer, specifically that there were growing tensions between Sainz and Verstappen.... mmmmm interesting.

Congratulations, you well deserved an ST badge :nods: Did you negotiate an option on buying the car it came from too?

They are making this for the same reason Bentley made an SUV: there is no [vehicle type] out there yet for more than [insert extreme price tag] (yes, bentley said this, I can look it up for you). Merc thinks they can build a premium pick-up truck, they said they know absolutely for sure the market is asking for an expensive pick-up truck as prestige product. It's also the reason why they won't sell it in the USA: they know it will be too expensive and can't battle the american trucks.

@Mike: they will do a half-arsed job on this. They did with the Citan, and from the looks of it only the light units and grille will be different on this vehicle, and that stupid tablet seems to show up in this thing as well. Let's wait for it to blow over :nods: Also Moers said there won't be an AMG version, only an AMG line (and that means a proper purely esthetical line, not what Merc now tries to sell as AMG 43's).

Not truly a new release but I think the first time it's been recorded making some noise:
