    Well something else to temp Baldred ... http://www.nextautos.com/audi-r8-spider-spied-first-time but as to the RSs I'd go for the Avant ... can't beat a mentally quick Audi Estate!

    Nige the reason it got dropped from Brum is as follows ... Milan, Paris, Tokyo, Geneva ... Birmingham ... doesn't really fit ... OK I know there are also Frankfurt and Detroit but they are big centres for the Automotive world ... Foreigners don't know where Birmingham is ... London they do ... hence the Olympic bid that got the UK the Olympics is in London and not Manchester or Birmingham They found that car manufacturers weren't doing launches in the UK and so had to rethink the show ... hence all the bits you can do rather than just plain stands As to the show ... well I did think about going to see what the MiTo and 8C looks like (spot the trend) ... but also I was hoping to see some Ferraris and Lambos and they're not there ... are they ?

    As Diablo says I thought E74 was an AV cable issue ... I got it ages ago when it was coming up with really freaky pictures on my screen ... turned the box off ... unplugged all the cables and plugged them back in and it was fine

    Well it depends on what server you jump to ... each server can only hold 8 people at a time ... so you may find someone on the map and jump to them but not be able to join them as the server is full or the game has decided to put you on a different server. If you want to drive around with friends, on the map page filter to friends and jump to them ... then on the d-pad 'lock' to them and you should remain in the same server ... BUT if you jump back to the map you will lose them. Oh and sometimes it does take a few attempts to jump to friends even if the servers aren't busy ... espeically if you're jumping from one end of the island to another, don't know why but sometimes it does. P.S. Please learn how to spell Ferrari !

    Consulting Engineer for an engineering consultancy and software supplier ... I crash cars on a computer! Obviously not much going on in the House of Baldy as both of you are online !

    Well TDU2 has been rumoured for a long time ... who knows when/if it will surface As to which cars, I presume which cars should you use in TDU? ... well some events require you to use specific cars or classes of car anyway ... the best advice is whatever you feel comfortable driving.

    What's wrong with Skoda? They produce some reasonable cars these days especially since they've been owned by VW ... VW engines and underpinnings with lots of toys for less than the equivalent VW.

    OK Firstly the G-Wiz ISN'T a car it's a QUADRACYCLE ... hence it doens't have to do the same tests As to the Chinese ... they have their own regs which are way behind ECE, Federal and Japanese regs ... however they are trying to imrove things ... think of them as Korea when they first started out ... give them 5-10 years and there should be some good cars from them ... as long as they stop copying the look of western cars. OK now to my choices ... Winner : Mini (and I'm not talking about that BMW rubbish) A car that bridged classes and lasted a long time Loser : MG SV A combination of MG, Quvale (spelling might be out there) and an American V8 - I think they sold about 5 in the end!

    Well I don't think he's in any club, not his sort of thing as far as I'm aware. I know it was in some competition thing and they put the cars up on platforms and in doing so it damaged his front skirt and also that him and the mate he went with got back to the car and started cleaning it after it had been judged! The mate wasn't happy in the slightest. Well if it's a Blue TF with a Blue roof and looks like one of the last to roll out of Longbridge then it's his ... oh he's got carbon fibre trim on the interior! ... I keep on asking him when he's getting the neons to go underneath it!

      OK here goes with my Dinosaur Intel Celeron 2.93GHz, 448MB RAM Windows XP RADEON IGP 345M 40GB HDD ! Yes you did read that spec correctly ... time for a new personal laptop I think!

      So did you and Shar go to the MG Fest? A couple of mates went yesterday ... in a Blue last gen TF with a blue roof ... entered into some show and shine type competition. Oh and if that is your MSN piccie I understand why the Bald one gets confused ... put a pint in one hand and an xbox in the other and it's me !

      2. YeOldeTDUMan
        I thought about going to this ... but didn't in the end as I was out the night before till early some nice looking Ferraris there ... did you go for a lap Phere? Might be going to the Classic Car show down at Leeds Castle on the 10th August, there should be a convoy of Alfas going ! Just depends on if the weather is nice

        1. YeOldeTDUMan
          Just read this ... and finally the penny drops ... Shar ... did your parents like watching Neighbours by any chance? I remember there was a whole thing about a lot of kids were going to be called Scott or Charlene !!!!! Oh and my first name is Ian ... but then a few of you knew that already
        2. YeOldeTDUMan
          nige, just watch it when it's repeated later in the week
        3. YeOldeTDUMan
          Knight Rider was good ... well the original stuff was but went wrong with the 'Super Cruise' and I won't comment on the modern Spin Offs of Team Knight Rider etc The Golliath and KARR episodes were the best I used to love watching the following when I was a kid ... Knight Rider ... Airwolf ... Streethawk (Knight Rider for Bikers) ... The A-Team ... Battlestar Gallactica ... Buck Rodgers (no idea why a young lad would like watching this) ... Magnum P.I. (my mobile ringtone since polyphonic ringtones ... now an mp3 ... oh and one of the reasons to love TDU!) ... The Fall Guy ... T.J. Hooker If you notice some bloke called Glen A. Larson has a lot to answer to !

          Whats wrong with the Weissmann .. lovely car to drive ... damn sight better than a lot of the cars in the game. Oh when you do the 'Model' ones don't forget to get a Perfect as you get enough credits to buy all the clothes then And if you do a Perfect on the car delivery you get a big (50% ?) bonus on the cash ... the Gullwing is a pain but there is an easy way as I found

          Obviously they've never played on a Wii then as Miis have arms and legs ... OK not very complex ones but they have one Isn't something similar coming to the PS3 soon too ? I think it was called 'Home' or something with 3D avatars ... And you could just say it rips off Second Life or something like that ... as it looks like you'll be able to 'wander' around and chat to your mates with all your Avatars in some virtual space I say if its a good idea why not use it ... I just hope MS don't COCK up the update ... and I also wonder how big the update is in terms of disk space!
        6. YeOldeTDUMan
          yeah they'll all be useless I guess ... no more Lego Solo and Original Autobots background ... just have to buy more credits ... and you can bet they'll be 'clothes' and 'stuff' to buy for your Avatar!
        7. YeOldeTDUMan
          OK kind of a contradiction here ... but I'm happy to accept 'Official' Tuners ... such as Nismo, Brabus AMG, M Division, Saleen, Roush, Hamman those sort of companies but as set conversions that you can get in the real world I just don't want to be able to tweak everything ... espcially as TDU isn't about the 'tuner' F&F scene
        8. YeOldeTDUMan
          N2O ... No Thanks ... But then I'd prefer it if TDU DIDN'T have ANY Tuning! Next thing they'll be asking is for S14s, Veilside kits, and some rude graphics to go with some popping paint!
