I've posted all the pictures I have of the Diablo GT in my picture thread.

There was a request in another thread for Diablo GT pictures, here are all mine. :)

Does anyone remember William Woollard or is it just me? :o

The license migration tool fixed both the having to re-download DLC and randomly appearing Hardcore Mode for me, I had licenses split across four Xboxes!

Got this Monday night so haven't played it much yet, here's a couple of pictures of my starter car, a mildly modified VW Scirocco.

Yes it is. :)

That's odd my pictures have no black border when extracted from the memory card!? When I extract the pictures I get the full size image at 1280 x 736 pixels followed by a thumbnail of 256 x 128 pixels, then the next full sized picture and so on, what are you getting?

Thanks, I find there's something about that location, maybe the lighting, that produces nice results.

Yesterday while Live was down I decided to antagonise the police.

Hang on a minute............ shouldn't he be chasing me!

More LM formation pics, very nice, also liking the black and white one.

I love the LM formation shots, the triangle especially. It would be great to get a full session of 8 people in papaya orange LMs for a picture.

nice pics there :)

Thanks.

Great pics!! We really need to organise a photo shoot!!

Thanks and yes that might be fun.

Wow that's crazy and in fact I was about to post the name of that cruise but you remembered it which made me smile. Great pics man and I remember everyone asking how we got in the airport to get that picture. Good times!

Thanks and I'm glad it made you smile. I think it may have been when I first found out how to get in to the airport as my bookmark for it just so happens to be a red RUF. :)

I've been re-visiting some cars I haven't really used much, put a couple of hundred miles on this yesterday, it's a great little car.

Cheers, feel free to do so. :)

No pictures yesterday so here's a blast from the past...

Diablo's "Raise the RUF!" cruise, it's a shame the last picture didn't extract properly as it's one of my favourites. :(

Thank you.

The Mercedes dealership I'm on top of is the unused one at the top of the island, you can use the bush around the house to the west as a ramp to get you up there.

Here are some pictures from yesterday.

Kalaeloa Airport

While wondering around the airport I found this huge tear in the ground.

White & Black Zondas.

And lastly a couple of exclusives.

Thanks guys, the GT does look good in those colours doesn't it. :)

@RH12234 - In the fourth picture see the mound of dirt on the left, use that as a ramp to get you in to the roof space of the building, then drive out on to the container.

Now for some more pictures.

During the day it can be very quiet on the island so you have to find other ways to amuse yourself.

Apart from here where there's always people....

....but all they want to do is drive up and down a straight piece of road. :sulk:

Time for my own picture thread I think. :)

Right let's start with some recent ones.

When they offered me the job they said it came with free parking, I was expecting the space to be a bit more generous. :lol:

As you can imagine it's quite tricky to get it in!

Nice pictures Diablo, I really like the one of the bike cutting through the trucks, that's a great catch. :thumbsup:

Nice pictures Hotcars, I've got to agree with fizzkid though, it's does look like the aspect ratio is wrong. They seem to be sized at 500x218 and should be 500x287 for the correct aspect ratio. :)

McLaren lose appeal. :(

Press Release

International Court of Appeal - Decision

23/09/2008

 

At the Grand Prix of Belgium, run on 7 September 2008, and counting towards the 2008 FIA Formula One World Championship, the Stewards of the meeting imposed a drive-through penalty upon the driver of car No. 22, Lewis Hamilton, for a breach of Article 30.3 (a) of the 2008 FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations and Appendix L, Chapter 4, Article 2 (g) of the International Sporting Code.

 

As the drive-through penalty was imposed at the end of the race, 25 seconds were added to the driver’s elapsed race time in accordance with Article 16.3 of the FIA 2008 Formula One Sporting Regulations.

 

Article 152 of the International Sporting Code states that drive-through penalties are “not susceptible to appeal”.

 

The competitor Vodafone McLaren Mercedes appealed the Steward’s decision before the International Court of Appeal in a hearing in Paris on September 22nd.

 

Having heard the explanations of the parties the Court has concluded that the appeal is inadmissible.

 

The International Court of Appeal was presided over by Mr Philippe NARMINO (Monaco), elected President, and composed of Mr Xavier CONESA (Spain), Mr Harry DUIJM (Netherlands), Mr Thierry JULLIARD (Switzerland) and Mr Erich SEDELMAYER (Austria).

 

NOTES FOR EDITORS

Article 16.3 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations provides as follows:

 

The stewards may impose any one of three penalties on any driver involved in an Incident:

 

a) A drive-through penalty. The driver must enter the pit lane and re-join the race without stopping.

 

b) A ten second time penalty. The driver must enter the pit lane, stop at his pit for at least ten seconds and then re-join the race.

 

c) a drop of ten grid positions at the driver’s next Event.

 

However, should either of the penalties under a) and b) above be imposed during the last five laps, or after the end of a race, Article 16.4b) below will not apply and 25 seconds will be added to the elapsed race time of the driver concerned.

 

Paragraph 5 of Article 152 of the International Sporting Code provides as follows:

 

Penalties of driving through or stopping in pit lanes together with certain penalties specified in FIA Championship regulations where this is expressly stated, are not susceptible to appeal.

Thank you.

Here's some more I took last night.

Had a great run along the coast with AMC Darkangel.

Then met up with CJ Stinger and fizzkid2000 in their matching Gallardo Coupes.

Fun with a RUF.

Some pictures from the past couple of weekends.

Superb, LOL. :lol:

I could think of other backronyms for FIA but can't post them here. :)

Any doubts just watch this: http://sundayafternoonclub.blogs.topgear.com/2008/09/09/belgian-gp-onboard/

Agreed, that's great on board video that demonstrates even more how bad the steward's decision was.

It's good to hear that McLaren haven't backed down on this one.

Thought I'd contribute some pictures of a great run I had round the island last night with Keithy189 in his brand new LM.

McLarens unite.

You need to get that dodgy reversing light fixed you know.

Ooops!

Hamilton stripped of win. Well, couldn't have expected otherwise, F1 stands for Ferrari Won after all.

Absolutely disgusting decision. :mad:
