Very bad idea... People race for the thrill of racing, and a lot of the adrenaline that is being pumped through your veins while you are racing isn't from the actual racing, but from the fear of being caught doing it... Same goes for sex :p But seriously, this would never work in the UK, we are the home of chlamydia after all and we wouldn't accept anything as safe as that XD.

LOL. What have I done? :p

BANNED????? wow, never knew that. We got told the same thing in the shop about living up to 10 years, a quick look on the internet and we found that they live up to 10 years easy in the wild..... domesticated degus 'can' live up to 10 years but it is rare and usually last around 3-5 years, typically, in domestic enviroments. (Read it a loooong time ago when I first got them so don't quote that word for word lol.)

Yea, syphoning fuel and got a gobfull of petroleum, gets you very very drunk really very fast though. :p LOL, 2 years old, surprised it hasn't evapourated by this time haha

((Have only read the first post in this thread so yea)) You are the ONLY other person I know of to have owned a Degu. I bought a breeding pair about 5 years ago and ended up with roughly 30 of the little blighters within 12 months... My last one recently died of old age though :(

Not a nice car to begin with, adding that 'One Inch Punch' sticker to the side was a step too far though, even for me. But at the end of the day it's only a game, people who own this car in real life may or may not do this kinda thing to them. (I have seen some pretty rich people doing some pretty stupid things to cars/with cars).

You all say you love the smell of it, but how many have actually drank it? :p

The risk of doing this is too big when you think about it, you could hit the drivers window and shock him into making a mistake and possibly crashing into oncoming traffic for instance. Although I do admit to throwing snowballs at passing cars, one guy had his window down and got a snowball in the face while he was doing about 20MPH.. That's gotta hurt LMAO

Long story short, I had a little trouble at the beginning of the year and took the easy way out and hit the drink.... Not advisable, you will just end up more messed up than you started. I was just browsing the net and thought I'd give a look on this site see whats changed and what have you, it's a lot different from what I knew as TDU-C lol. Thanks all for the warm welcome. :) @ RB26DETT, Thanks for the compliment. :D @ EagleDK, I play with no GPS or Gamertags showing, the only way I know who is in the server is if I check the 'Free-Ride' players list in the auxilury menus (or whatever fancy name Atari gave them. lol). So I probably missed you :(

I know I am not a 'new' member but I have been away for a while and didn't really know where else to post for the minute hehe. Anyways, congrats Diabz for adding about a trillion features some of which I don't even see how to work them haha. I like the longevity and activeness bars too, my longevity is high enough but my activeness is pretty shot haha. I'm currently injured so I will be spending a fair bit on the forums/games til I recover..

It could be actually as I am currently having issues with the internet not loading things up properly... Reset my HomeHub and now I can see it clearly XD That will make a difference, what's next on your list of things to buy? **TIRES** lol

You know how they say 3rd time lucky? Well it's not true in this case :p Just post the link to the website lol, much easier :rolleyes:

First, get HardCore Mode, then come back...

Nope, not at my end anyway :(

Erm, I don't see it? :S A white box with a red cross won't make any difference to the car at all :p

Marc, are you stalking me or something? Cos if you aren't you have not a clue what i do in my spare time.... So you know I don't have a car how? You don't, you guessed, which made me LOL very hard... Anyways Stinger says to stop discussing brakes so I am ending it there, you can carry on if you like but you won't get a reply in this thread on the matter, PM me instead... Sorry Stinger and all others who aren't involved. I'm Out ****Please watch your language****

Nice find, but the pre-release version of TDU had a debug mode where you could enter any amount of money you desired, and you could change rank as well :) I know this as I played in debug at Atari HQ in London last year and Lee (Atari PR guy) gave me in the region of $100 Million to play about with lol

OK, you don't seem to be understanding a very simple physics philosophy, you can have the biggest meanest drilliest venteiest cross sparkled brakes in the world but without a decent set of tires there will be no difference (not to be noticed anyway)... The new brakes you have will be better from very high speeds, 120+MPH (Don't know what car you have at the moment so I am guessing at speeds) because they will dissipate heat faster and thus make it possible to keep on the brakes for harder, longer. Look at it this way, the only part of a car that touches the road (unless you roll over) is the tires, upgrade them and you will feel a massive difference in handling, braking and accelerating under hard driving (OK, maybe not a massive difference in accelerating, but noticeable). On the flipside to that though if you have just racing tires changed on the car, the braking from high speed will be good initially until the brakes overheat... I will agree to disagree on this one, but in my honest opinion tires and brakes come hand in hand and shouldn't be looked at as seperate entities on a car, rather 2 parts that work together to achieve a common goal.

Well, the laughs on you pal, because I thought for myself after reading some stuff on StopTech's website... (I think they know a thing or two about the concept of braking, don't you?) Braking is mostly to do with tires, the grippier the tire, the faster the stop.... The actual brake setup you have isn't gonna affect the braking performance much at all, maybe a few feet from 60MPH, F1 cars only stop so fast because they have ultra sticky rubber coupled with huge carbon brakes (which dissipate heat fast enough for the brakes to remain functioning after several 200-0 stops) Take your tires off the car and replace them with plastic, then go for a 'hard' drive and see if the car still has great braking performance.... Just do it in a very very big place, maybe an airport.....

Believe it or not your car will NOT slow down any faster than standard with those on :p The only difference you will notice is better effiency from braking at higher speeds, and of course less wear and tear under heavy use.

Best Xmas ever!!!!! Not cos I got loads of stuff, but I have been drunk since xmas eve morning now XD (I intend to keep going til New Year)

Demos are always fun!!! Nodz, would give you Rep but I have to spread it around before giving it to you again :)
