The Queen

Dazed...Still,you didn't saw

 

You even got your name changed to it? :fp:

Anyway, that one is not nearly as cool as the others. I'm not sure which one is more strange, the cow one or the brighton one! haha

Have fun and stay safe

I wasn't aware that he is involving himself in sexual activities while he's away? :confused: :cheeky:

------------

Anyway, this will be a nice break from cars for you, giving you a chance to see other things!

Seriously though, there is some amazing wildlife over in the South of France and some unique insects so would be a nice change to see some shots of something other than cars when you get back. When I was down there I only had two or so days in Monaco and the rest was just enjoying the scenery and visiting various landmarks and it was a great holiday! Just take it into consideration. :p

For example 'Gorges Du Verdon' is spectacular and really unmissable if it's not too far to travel. :)

@ Superhyper - Not really an excuse, i'm sure you have at least one game with a weapon in it.

Anyway, now that I have my PC back up and running and working well this time with my new case, I have been going back to some of my games and earlier was playing with Tool on Crysis Wars. Some unbelievable graphical quality on one of the maps especially with the blur and HDR effect enabled!

If anybody is interested the map is called 'Decharge 2.0.'

 

Saw this yesterday ;)

I thought that was on a trailer on it's way through France to Monaco or something with the Cinque Roadster? :confused:

It's called the Perlé De Sang actually. :rolleyes:

Nice one Tool, looks really cool. I will try it when I get my new case all fitted up, should be next week at the latest. Also good to see you have found a place to host your mods again. :)

I would say this would be useful to Zoqqer but he doesn't have an SLR.

Some nice tips though. ;)

 

Awesome track!

You sir are a legend. That is probably one of my ultimate favourite tracks of all time. Great song to listen to in Test Drive, really makes you drive fast! :D

You heard one of his other tracks called "Phoenix (Fast Distance Uplifting Remix)" ? If you like Angel you are bound to like that one. :)

I think he's got two names as "Phoenix" is under "Ralph Fritsch" on LastFM.

Wow! That is a stunning interior. Nice to see you have managed to get the GPS working, congrats. ;)

Still not working for me, will try another...

 

Eileen Donan Castle in the Scottish Highlands, used in the original film Highlander so I was told.

 

EDIT ~ that seems to work, maybe I messed it up putting the large files in the first post by accident?

Ah yes, one of the most photographed castles in Scotland. I bet you didn't know it's fake, the old one was destroyed a long long time ago and they built that one not too long ago with the main purpose being tourism I think. So, technically, it doesn't really have any history as just about all of it was rebuilt/restored. ;)

From Wikipedia :

The original castle was built in the early 13th century as a defence against the Vikings.[3] By the late 13th century it had become a stronghold of the Mackenzies of Kintail (later the Earls of Seaforth). In 1511, the Macraes, as protectors of the Mackenzies, became the hereditary Constables of the Castle.

 

In 1539 Iain Dubh Matheson, chief of the Clan Matheson, died whilst defending the castle on Eilean Donan island against the Clan MacDonald of Sleat on behalf of Clan Macrae and Clan Mackenzie.

 

In April 1719 the castle was occupied by Spanish troops attempting to start another Jacobite Rising. The castle was recaptured, and then demolished, by three Royal Navy frigates on 10–13 May 1719. The Spanish troops were defeated a month later at the Battle of Glen Shiel.

 

The castle was restored in the years between 1919 and 1932 by Lt. Col. John MacRae-Gilstrap. The restoration included the construction of an arched bridge to give easier access to the castle. In 1983 The Conchra Charitable Trust was formed by the Macrae family to care for the Castle. A curious distinction is that it has one of only two left-handed spiral staircases in a castle in Great Britain, as the reigning king at the time of building held a sword with his left hand. Another distinction of the castle today is the grey field gun from the Great War, positioned outside the building by a war memorial and fountain dedicated to the men of the Macrae clan who died in the war.

I will admit though, if you can get the light right then you can get an amazing shot of it especially due to it's surrounding landscape.

I wouldn't even say they are good enough to post up but nice to see you were in London though. One thing I don't understand is why do people treat their TDU Photomode thread as a place to dump just any shots? Couldn't you have posted them in the photos thread or WYSR (What You Saw Recently) ?

That's a ticket to London and back and you can use the tube and buses as much as you want :p

And you told me it costed £20. You liar! :nanananana:

I have just always loved the first murcielago's, so i did it lol.

I agree. I have always had a special love for the original Murcielago, the LP640 isn't so original so I don't like it as much. :)

Lol, why are some of the cars on gravel?

I'm not sure actually as I have been there as well and there was about the same array of cars there. Although the California wasn't there when I went.

Ozzmcom for me. Stood out and I like the contrast between the roads and grass. ;)

Inception!! Wow, that is all i can say, my new favourite. I've been sat down for like an hour running the end through my head and i'm sure i've just worked out what happened. Need to see it again to make sure, i'm sure i've missed lots but was hooked and soaking up every detail all the way through, well trying to. Is complex but quite simple to follow untill the last 20 mins really. Wow....

I complete agree! I was stunned by how good it was. Went to the first showing yesterday morning and damn... I was blown away. Definitely up there with my top films but still nowhere near as mindblowing (for me) as Avatar.

I do like M6s especially the noise they make, nice find! :D

Something else from Thursday:

The sun was in a really annoying place :(

Meh... i'm bored of SV's now. Oh and Jazzi, if you think that SLR is nice you have some serious issues. That's the absolute worst car done by FAB Design. :p

[mod edit:] Please do not quote images, thanks!

W16 VEY ?

 

Tom Hartley had it on sale for a while.

Nope. The plate was actually W16 SXX. Someone on flickr thought it was the same one he spotted and that was W16 PMH. I cannot believe how many black Veyrons have W16 plates! :eek: :lol:

V12 AML was in the Top Gear episode, am i right? :)

Correct. ;)

Some more from me. This time from the carparks at Goodwood FOS! ;)

Doesn't that plate seem familiar? ;)

Predators

Get Him To The Greek

Are we there yet?

Uncle Buck

Pursuit of Happiness

Nice looking motorbike. How many cars feature in the game?

One, it's an Alfa Romeo MiTO at the menu. ;)

I really hate the exhausts on it at the back. Immensely ugly!

In fact, it reminds me of this. :lol:

---------------

See the resemblance? ;)

Pyrre. Gotta love JC2!

Some really nice ones there Mojo. I especially love the corn one with the caterpillar, looks amazing!

A few from my trip down to London.

I'm glad Spain won. Holland seemed far too aggressive especially with all the yellow cards and red cards they got and the fact that Robben kept trying to get the referee to side with him, what rubbish!
