Good that Elon Musk won't give up and do another test with landing those rockets next month! :D

Rumours recently indicated Ford would be showing a new Ford GT iteration on NAIAS, after the leaked floorplan for Ford's stand mentioned a "Phoenix" nicknamed car to be flanked by both the previous Ford GT as by a Ford GT40. And tadaa, they don't disappoint! Special features of the new GT Concept are: - twinturbo V6 EcoBoost in excess of 600 bhp (or 447 kW) - dual-clutch 7-speed transaxle transmission - better optimised design to reduce air drag and create more downforce - upward-swinging doors - carbon fiber cell structure - automatically adjustable rear spoiler - aluminium front and rear subframes - carbon fiber body panels - 20-inch wheels with special Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 tires - Ford SYNC 3 infotainment - fully digital and configurable instrument cluster Production version will be introduced later this year and will go into production in 2016. Source: Ford GT breaks cover with 600+ bhp twin-turbo V6 Looks brilliant! Exhaust pipes relatively high off the ground, agressive looks. Not a fan of the interior though, way too empty/basic in looks, with quite a crowded steeringwheel. Perhaps the production version will look slightly different, we'll see.

Well, in Holland the only reason to buy diesel is if you have to haul a lot, or if you drive a lot. Under roughly 20.000 to 25.000 km, a petrol car is cheaper to run and own over a year than an equally dieselpowered car. For that specific car, 222.222 km translates to just under 28.000 a year. When I worked for Spyker I drove over 43.000 a year. I don't find it shocking. And mileage doesn't say éverything about a car.

That's awesome :eek: And so's this one... out of reach but damn.. Mercedes E280 CDI Reasons it caught my attention: - imo it looks brilliant! Black, with the sportspackage with sports wheels, the correct type of wood inside.... yeah! - has a lot of options! Seat heating, seat cooling, electric rear blinds, powerclosing trunklid, panoramic roof, leather upholstery, folding mirrors, memory seats, COMAND (board computer and nav and nice big screen).

Good choice, especially because you chose one with the exhausts pointing sideways :D Here's one I was amazed by: a complete and running, in this case ex Hakinnen, DTM car which has been preserved and maintained by the motorsport division that entered it into racing. Reason I like such ads are because I have some weird desire for owning such racecars, like a DTM car or a NASCAR, remove all decals to make it a plainbody car, and perhaps do minimal effort to make it road legal. Bonhams: Ex-Mika Hakkinen 2005 AMG-Mercedes C-Class DTM And a more recent one: EB110 GT!!!!! It was my first 1/18 miniature, the classic blue EB110 GT with non-deployed rear wing (Bburago made it). One of the last beasts before everything got computerized.

You still think there's no way there can be other life than on earth?....... Think again... Because NASA's Kepler telescope, permanently observing a relatively minuscule patch of universe, has passed the 1000 mark in terms of verified exo-planets, with a total of more than 4000 planet candidates discovered.

Happy new year to all! May you have a healthy 2015!

Haven't played any of these but ah well. Driveclub, for its brilliant graphics and the nice countries/settings they've used for the imaginary road tracks. I like that more than typical race circuits. GTA V remastered, they've managed to make it look so good. Plus the graphics and basically the whole game looks more appealing than the 50 shades of grey and brown IV was. I don't really have anything to add. I got Watch Dogs but I can't really say I liked it (Jordi Chin for president!). I bought Max Payne 3 but it isn't a 2014 game and I really don't like it at all, not enough to maintain a focus span at least long enough to finish storymode. I planned on getting V, but my version won't be a 2014 game either since PC got the gracious delay into january (if not beyond that).

DTM to blame for that perhaps, those specific winglets were usually mainly for the front bumper but I think they're spreading out to the sides of the cars these days too.

Nice mod :D

I like the name being lit up. Is that a mod too or is that stock, like Viper's rearbadge?

That..... is pretty darn cool.

I thought headlights went at the front of the car :p Or might be my monitor but it's difficult to see the redness of the glow lol.

Extended Polar Express Event!

Hoooooooooooooooolllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [redacted]

Rockstar is communicating once again on GTA V. This time it's another Asked & Answered post, answering several questions on multiple subjects. Read it all here! They also took the opportunity to release a few new screenshots which you can see below. PC players can expect system requirements to be announced next week so that gives you just over a month to upgrade that Windows 3.1 machine. :nods:

For those, like me as PC gamer, who wonder: GTA V PC will NOT be shipped with it:

[headline]GTA Online Heists coming 'Early 2015'[/headline] So finally Rockstar has lifted the curtain/skirt/blinds on the long awaited Heists. They did this by releasing a trailer: Also, make sure to head over to IGN to read why it took so incredibly long before V players would finally get their hands on this awaited expansion. Some bits: "One of the challenges is that unlike a heist in Story Mode, every player needs to feel central to the action at all times, and that’s much more challenging than it appears." [...] "We never want to have to move a date but if something is delayed, it’s because it’s not at the level we expect of ourselves. And while we’re not there yet, we’re getting close and Heists will be ready early in 2015." [...] "Each finale is a big set-piece mission with players taking on multiple roles. All through this, players will be gaining access to new vehicles, new weapons, new items and new clothing, as well as visiting some surprising locations and interacting with some familiar characters from the story."

Lol the 8C is only missing a massive antenna protruding from the trunklid xD

Wow.... really? They put Bigfoot in? Time to call GTAForums.com lol.

Another note on the Raven Design pack: once you have 100% completion (you can F5 your World of Trucks page after every Xmas Gifts delivery), you will automatically receive the achievement and under ''EVENTS'' you will find a message with the key for your Raven Design pack. All you have to do is activate the key on steam, let steam download the ~5 MB pack, and then go ingame. The pack consists of two Raven paintjobs as shown above, plus a black wheel option for both front and rear axles.

Update time, includes special event and achievements! Now you might wonder how far you'd have to drive to get that achievement. You can see this on your personal World of Trucks page. Below ''Your Current Ride'' you will see the ''SCS POLAR EXPRESS - HOLIDAY DELIVERY EVENT''. The third line, ''Completed'', tells you how far you progressed for the achievement.
