Who

yeah, S class is a bit too much, A is good, cause most cars can be tuned to be good in A class, wheras the cars that start off in D become a bit insane when tuned to S levels... plus, in lower classes, races become more about the driver, not the car

well, when the TDUC crew gets together we all seem to end up on PGR anyway

i love the older stuff for these, E-type, AC289, DB4, Muira, Firebird, and the dino, great for the mountain roads IMO! also like going around them in by stock Elise or my Stg 3 caterham. allways in hardcore too!

i've signed straight away. badgers are lovely animals, it also happens that Brock (my surname) means badger in ye olde english...

Maybach, BMW, Bentley, Caterham, Morgan, McLaren... I think it was AC Ace = Original model AC 289 (the one from TDU) = Ace + 289 engine and basic work done to suspension and steering AC 427 = Ace + complely remoddled drivetrain and adapted chassis Shelby Cobra 427 = AC 427 but RHD and with stripe theres cars just as mad as that, they put 427's in TVR Griffiths, and other smaller british cars, i even think there was Ford/Shelby powered MGs in the day

Euro for me, particularly british. british cars perform to a direct purpose and do it fabulously. want an extremely luxurious car? Rolls Royce is what you're after. want a white knuckle experience with a car on steroids? A caterham or an ariel is what you want want to cut through corners without even thinking of the brake? lotus elise want luxury, speed, and an image that is cool as hell? how about a jag or an aston martin? want something that will be a massive shed, with all the pazass of herpes? buy a second hand rover metro!

isnt the leaderboard done on percentage of races won? as in, if a new category was included, wales, and i was the only person who became a member, and by some miracle i raced 4 races and won 2, that would put the win rate as 50%, for the whole country, and wales would be at the top of the table (oh, how i would larf)

A class :D ive got a few 'super touring' cars made for a tournament by a friend called Smu3l3y and wanna use them :p i'll ask him if he minds letting me use one of the old spec's before he started going fully fledged STCC obsessed. basically, you had to have Max PI 750 Max HP 350 A saloon or a hatchback car Must be a mass produced model No Tuner editions Must have full Forza Body kit Must have Racing compound Tires performance upgrades should be generally geared around body, not engine, as there is only 350bhp to play with a paint job wouldnt go amiss

"Correct" use of surfaces, as in, the airport is tarmac, the various carparks are tarmac, the gravel you find at the edge of the track should slow you down alot more than the dirt at the side of the road, various parts of earth should have different qualities, i mean, whenever you go off the road it looks as if you're kicking up sand, maybe if it actually looked like mud it, with bits being kicked up, it would be better. Speedo should display the actual reading the car would give, atleast for the incar speedo anyway. for example, if you are driving an AWD car like an RS4, come off a hill, hammer the throttle and the speedo should fly up, being as all the wheels, including the one measuring the speed, are spinning like crazy...

just to clarify, i was saying everything after hot pursuit :) i loved NFS: Porsche Unleashed/Porsche 2000

hmm, i hate all the bible talk. hence why i celebrate yule, not christmas (same thing, but yule is alot older and is not a christian holiday...) then again i find all religion to be the poop of bulls, so there you go

Any Room left for a Zonda C12 Roadster? :D

£35 a year, which at exchange rate would be $70, but i'd say its more likely to be $50 a year in the US, simply cause britain gets ripped off.

the weather has been a tad cack here, but nothing extrodonarily bad. the heaviest of the rain was last night, up until about 11am today. naturally the car decided to throw a hissy when we tried to start it this morning so i had to ride into college on my pushbike. i got VERY wet bad times :(

actually, Jeremy Clarkson described it as being like a lotus elise in the corners when they raced the Veyron against the plane on Top Gear

EA [-Profanity-]'d the whole Need For Speed series up since NFS: hot pursuit 2.

aye, that it is *puts pipe back in mouth* anyone seen my slippers? :p

damn! i never voted! ah well, atleast i didnt get worst connection, the 'data packet carrying sheep' that orange employs for its wrexham service have done me proud! still reckon NAD33M (AKA The Gaming Guy from times of old) is the least active oldie member (not that that is a bad thing *rolls eyes*) all awards well deserved!

hmmm, how about a girl success thread? as of friday, i now have a very lovely GF, and i couldnt be happier :D

i got 295mph out of a CCR on TDU, your point is?

i know all about lovesick. in about august '06 my best friend was going out with a girl, called harriet (or hattie for short) my best mate messed her about, and in the end she cheated on him, however my best mate was very popular, more-so than she was, and she lost her friends through it, I'd never met her at the time, but did have her MSN, over that summer i was the only one to give her time of day. in September we met, at a party. i went to her house after said party, as if then we started going out. we went out till the beginning of December, and i loved her alot, we talked on MSN all the time, unfortunately she didn't reciprocate my love. she made sure we hardly ever met up, so i wouldn't get hurt, and in the end she just came out with it and said she preffered me as a friend normally saying 'lets just be friends' is like having your dog put down, and your parents saying 'it doesn't matter, you can still keep it' but by some miracle, this worked. between December and February we spoke all the time. in February i went on a day out with her family, this day, she told me that she considered me as her best friend. our friendship grew stronger over the months, but all along i still fancied her, cause i never saw her when we were going out i felt like i had lost out, and despite having a GF since hattie, she was always on my mind. in april i started noticing that she was looking at me in a different way, once or twice she even held my head, as if to kiss me, but she always held herself back, when i asked her what she was doing, and why she didn't want to take things further, she said because she valued me too much as a friend, and didn't want to loose me. we carried on with this tension between us until June, and the GCSE's. we started being more open, she told me that she loved me, and we discussed how we thought each other would make good parents, and that, we thought that we would suit each other as lifelong partners, maybe in a few years, although at our age we just wanted fun. at the end of the month, i went to her house, we couldn't control ourselves, we kissed all day, however we agreed that we wouldn't get into a relationship, and it would be 'no strings fun' during the rest of the summer we carried on with the no strings, but it never was really no-strings. i loved her, and she loved me. it got awkward, many times it was 'called off' but it never lasted, we just couldn't resist. things got serious, we dreamed of each other, we dreamed of what our children would look like, although it wasnt as fun when it became a possibility (incidentally, we lost alot of sleep when she ended up 12 days late :/) and we dreamed of our marriage then, out of the blue, one day she said 'i cant stand this, i want you for myself' and as of that day, we started officially going out. the opportunity i had wanted between then (august 07) and when we split (December 06) was finally here. i couldnt have been happier. 4 days later, a friend of hers (ours) announced that he had gotten cancer. it was a hard time for us all, but Hattie had it worst. this boy had fancied her a long time, and she felt guilty going out with me. she called it off, it was over. a few days later, Jake's best friend phoned the hospital to find what was wrong, they didn't know a thing about anything to do with him. he was lying. but it was too late for me and Hattie to go out again. we did though, get back to our strange form of no strings. this lasted up until the beginning of college. for the first time ever, we saw each other on a daily basis. this however, was bad. Hattie didn't feel confident introducing me as her 'best friend'. over the next few months there was sexual tension, lots of it, but we didn't give in. then, in the half term, having finally gotten used to not doing stuff, we gave in, and had some dirty, no strings fun, just this time without any emotion. during November, i started becoming clingy with Hattie, she'd gone back on her word once, and i thought if i tried hard enough, it would happen again. every time i tried though, i failed, and she lost trust in me. this led me to depression, and led to self harm in December, she met someone, Matt, her new (and current) boyfriend. i tried to be ok, i really did. that night though, i spiraled into depression i had never felt before. i couldn't stand it. that night i took an overdose of paracetamol. i eventually sorted myself out. i accepted she loved him (even though i hate him) and eventually the feelings i had for her died away. the thing is though, she still would tease me sexually, and I'm not on about implying stuff, posing and word games, she would basically grab my nads, rub her body all over my privates, and basically [-blank-] me through my trousers. even though she has a BF then, on new years, i stayed at her house overnight. she teased me (which was to be expected) but that isn't the important bit. firstly, she spent new years eve, and new years day, saying how she was admiring me from a distance and that i 'was going to waste' (no-one wants to be my GF :() later that night we watched a film in her room, and she lay down in her bed whilst i sat next to her, she kept wanting hugs from me. long, tender ones. eventually i lay down next to her. we wrapped our arms around each other and held each other close in her bed. for once in my life i felt i belonged, and i wanted the moment to last forever. eventually midnight struck, and i went out onto the bed that had been made for me, and she went to hers. the next day she mentioned the going to waste stuff again, but that was about it. the thing is, that tender moment we had in her bed, made me think we belonged together, and I'm worried that I'm starting to love her again. i told her my feelings in an offline instant message that night yesterday i apologized, i figured it would be better if i said it was a drunken moment, i don't want things difficult for her, as it stands she thinks I'm Ok with her and Matt going out, and i am. begrudgingly. I'm not kicking up a fuss for her, not me. he makes her happier than she's been in a long time, and that has to be a good thing right? i don't want to be a pain for her, she's my best friend and I'll do anything for her. she has however, said she will finish it if i cant take it, i really don't want to stop it, she loves him (for reasons unbeknown to myself) but i don't want to end up taking 20 paracetamol again either. At present i don't think that will happen, but there again, i never thought i would cut myself either... i am currently trying to nip this rekindled love in the bud, i have asked her to stop teasing me, and i am listening to songs that i can relate to (Mr. Brightside is a brilliant one) I don't want to screw up my life again, but I'm desperate to not screw up hers. (his i don't mind...)

Banjo Threeie :) GTA IV TDU2 *crosses fingers* UT3 for 360 Battlefield: Bad company (really looking forward to that one!)

i stayed over at my best mate's house yesterday, we stayed sober. i dont regret that though, i regret the fact her BF might find out what we got up to... happy 2008 dudes, hopefully i wont spend any of it in a coma :eek:

you dont have to be 'a bit' bored to do that! i mean seriously, its the most useless manual around!
