  1. You're seriously so good with pictures mate... and look at that sexy Shelby! You earned it lol
  2. HA! Once again I've had no practice. This should go poorly.
  3. I've said this in a scottish accent and still cannot understand half of it. :p
  4. Legend of Zelda baby. I'm reppin' Nerd Town.
  5. The 2-Eleven is allowed first off. Secondly, thanks for informing me ahead of time.

  7. Baha! I hate plaid so much.. You look so innocent.
  8. This is the 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo. It has 3 doors (4 if you count the hatch) and is Hyundai's new...thing. Before we get into things we might regret, let me inform you, I'm wholly against anything or any car that Hyundai has ever produced in it's lifetime. I hate them, I really, really hate them. Now that that's out of the way; looking back at Hyundai's failed car list (which is all of them) we can see that they've all suffered from the same tragic flaws. Horrifically underpowered and full of understeer, not to mention they make me sick when I look at them. However with this new Veloster, things seem to be looking up. Or are they? Beginning with the exterior of the car, Hyundai recently gave all of their models facelifts - which really hasn't worked out too well because the cars have gone from looking like 1992 to 2082. I fail to understand the awkward headlight design, or the fact that they seem to have copied SEAT's trunk. The biggest thing I have an issue with however, is the fact that the drivers side has one door and the passengers side has two. Hyundai in all their brilliance seemed to think it was "hip and cool" to design a car such as this. The reality is however is that the car seems to be misshapen - which honestly doesn't help it's looks. So what about the interior? Well shockingly, it's actually rather decent. Everything seems to be put in a functional place and the tach/speedo are actually enjoyable to look at. The entire interior itself is just... well... it's good. Performance - all the other Hyundai's have always lacked in the power department. But finally, it seems like the Korean's have seen the light; more power in your car is actually not a bad thing as long as you don't overdo it. 208 brake horsepower come firing out of the turbo-charged inline 4 engine - which doesn't sound like much compared to some other hot hatches out there; but let me assure you that 208 BHP is certainly enough to get this car going in any direction you want it to. Speaking of speed, it's always nice to be able to slow down after you've hit the gas, the brakes in past Hyundai's haven't been bad, don't get me wrong, but they created a tidal wave of understeer getting into a corner - which was a bit of an issue. I'm pleased to announce that the Veloster's brakes actually cause little to no understeer under braking. In fact, the car handles brilliantly - I can't believe I just said that.. let's move on. So, handling, brakes and speed aren't an issue at all. The price is cheap and it gets great gas mileage. Shame the exterior is so ugly however, it's a bit like driving a Panamera actually - as long as you're on the inside you're golden. So ladies and gentlemen (mostly gentlemen) I have to say it. After my entire life of hating Hyundai's I actually think this one is quite good, actually, beyond good - it's quite excellent.
  9. I was going for a dark, gritty look, but I respect that you don't like them as much! :D Llama, Carbon and I had a few little races, so I got pics of one! Mostly consisting of Carbon and I really, Llama had never driven Maple Valley backwards :p Carbon in the CRZ, Llama in the 370z, I'm in the Spirit R. No offence to the rest of you, but Carbon is quickly becoming my favourite person to race against - everyone else needs to step it up :cheeky:
  10. Seriously get rid of that spider. I'm not even kidding anymore. Yes. In the US - when politicians don't get what they want, they delay. Democracy at its finest.
  11. Then who's on top of the current?
  12. Just a day and a half to go guys. Enter if you haven't.
  13. Badges? We get badges for this? Jeez... we need a "creepiest Clarence" one.
  14. We can't have two weeks of voting unless we go NOW. Feb 1st is too close Diabs.
  15. Hmmm. I might not voice over them if you read it then, no point in doing both really. Thanks for the compliments guys, I do suggest you have a listen, hearing me talk about it is usually better than reading words. ^_^
  16. I get most of it :p And not to be creepy or stalker-y but I love listening to your accent lol. Scottish people have the best accents - can't understand everything and what not.

  18. "Wow these are actually really nice" is what I just literally said out loud. Good work mate.
  19. Just curious, did anyone actually click the link or read the whole thing? Cause I don't do these for the pics, that's what my other thread is for...
  20. The legislation passed to go to vote in the government. The voting takes place next week, Anonymous was pissed it even got to the government, the date of that video I posted in the CB was from December 15th.
  21. Mb is correct. Sorry flo but you can't drive that Diablo. Even if there WAS a Racing front splitter, that Diablo is too close to a race car already for me to allow it. The point of this is to take a production car (I don't care if Forza defines the GTR as a production car, it's fast and light enough already to be a race car) and make it into a race car. Sorry mate. Cheers. EDIT: The rules haven't changed in weeks, so... you didn't read about the front splitters :lol:
