  1. What's with the shopping list Ry? You flying the nest? Are you using second hand/upcycle/giveaway sites to source a lot of those things? I'm always shocked at the quality of things people are willing to give away simply because they don't want the hassle of selling it or having it delivered etc.
  2. At the end of the day Vettel himself shouldn't receive much of the backlash, strategy is almost always decided by the team during the race, not the driver. He drove very very well and crossed the finish line first, not much you can criticise him for today. However I do think Kimi could have won if the team pushed for him to win and got behind him as much as they did with Vettel. I didn't watch many of the post race debriefings as I had some things to do before Indy500 started (fabbbbb race to watch), what was Hamilton moaning about? I think his car had an issue they couldn't fix under Parc Fermé, which I imagine would be pretty frustrating to then have to drive for a few hours. 7th from 13th is pretty good going for Monaco, so he shouldn't be too disappointed.
  3. Monaco started dull, I imagine a fair few people turned over around lap 20 when it just looked like it was going to be a procession of 78 formation laps. What happened around lap 60? Did people decide to put on a show? :lol: It got crazy. I'd be disappointed if I were Raik, it was very obvious the overcut was much better than the undercut coming into the race today, his team gifted his victory to Vettel :shrug:
  4. I have removed the download link as it is clear you didn't seek the permission of the people responsible for the car mods before making the pack. Considering StarGT did not consent to his mods being used, and the majority of the mods being from him, you can understand why the download link was removed. 777Gamer, please PM me with evidence you have permission to use all the mods included in the pack, and i'll reopen this thread and allow you to reinstate the download link. Thanks.
  5. I went the cinema to see that and had very low expectations going in as I didn't really have that big a connection to the original unlike most people I know, and I'd also heard some negative things about Emma Watson in it, but I came out really happy and I really enjoyed it. One of the best films I've seen recently I think.
  6. One off Rolls Royce here, commissioned a long time ago so has been a long time in the making. Yes, it isn't to everyone's tastes but I imagine the person who commissioned it will be rather happy with hit, the craftsmanship looks stunning. images from Autocar | Car News and Car Reviews The buyer was offered the choice of having bespoke wheels, but he opted for the more standard rims as he wanted it to look as OEM as possible, even though it is OEM anyway haha Rolls have gone as far to say they think it is most probably the most expensive 'new' car ever purchased.
  7. Unsure if anyone will see this in time, but the Villa Erba RM Sotheby's auction is taking place, some really cool lots up for auction: Here is the list of things being sold: Classic car search | Classic and Performance Car An E-Type, estimated to be sold for €250-300k, just sold for €520k, safe to say everyone in the E-Type world just went crazy with happiness.
  8. Jaguar have put a 600ps 5.0 Litre V8 into it's smallest car, the XE :eek: The XE SV Project 8: images from www.jalopnik.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaueNhjL9Ng Wide-body kit, quad exhausts, rear wing (hopefully optional). This is the most powerful production jag ever, even more powerful than the F-Type SVR and XJ220 :eek: It's being properly unveiled at Goodwood very soon.
  9. Yeah this is a possibility, is it meant to be some sort of lalalala car for BMW? Considering Audi have had the R8 for a while now, and Mercedes have had the SLS and AMG GT, BMW are very late when it comes to these lalalala cars. The i8 doesn't really count as an R8 competitor imo.
  10. BMW 8-Series concept leaked: images from http://www.jalopnik.com It has a similar silhouette to the Maserati Granturismo imo. But where does this fit into the model range? What is the difference between this and the normal 6 series coupé? They're both 4 seaters, I can't imagine this will be any bigger than what we're used to seeing from the 6 Series Coupé as that itself was already on the large side. So is this a sportier more nimble 911 competitor? Where does that leave the next 6 series coupé then? The current one has already stopped being manufactured :hmmm:
  11. FYI, three people are currently tied for first place, it's a very tight race this time, get voting people!
  12. Loving that McLaren shot Kelvjy, I hadn't considered white as one of its better colours until now :drool: And give me that 5-series please killalldude, can't say i've ever been a fan of the clown shoe
  13. At the end of the day it's extremely hard to compare the drivers and know who is better than who as there are way too many variables: powertrains, tyres, strategy etc. You can criticise Hamilton all you want but you won't be able to convince many people that you're simply criticising him for his driving skills and that he isn't as good as the others, just admit you dislike his personality and behaviour off the track so therefore your view on his driving skills is rather biased. I agree with you Rassva that Hammy is a 100% smug, cringe, celebrity-hungry driver but to then put all his pole positions and race wins down to pure luck? That's just very 'salty', to use the term you all love so much. I used to be a big fan of his but his off the track behaviour has made me start to dislike him, but I still think he's a very talented driver. Is he the best? I doubt it, but I don't think anyone can really know who the best is without just nominating the person they personally would love to be the best. You've got Alonso going after the triple crown, but does that then make him more talented than Hammy/Vettel etc? Only if the others try and fail to get the crown :shrug:
  14. This one take is quite memorable for a fair few reasons, worth a watch :lol: He then tried to make it seem as if he was trolling Matt, and then got all sensitive and upset about it all, it was all very awkward.
  15. Has anyone read/watched the reviews of the new Ford GT? I'm not sure i'm a fan of it anymore :hmmm: The previous one was an amazing road car, this one seems as if it will be dreadful to drive on the road which is a shame. It does look like it will be an immense track car though, will we see it start beating other big supercars around tracks soon? I imagine so. Do wish they'd have kept with the V8 though, I understand the V6 is better for weight/economy for a race car, but most people will be driving it on the road, for which a V8 would be much better.
  16. Came here to post a Soundgarden song, not usually my go-to genre of music but I did know a fair bit about Chris and his music, and took a liking to this song, sad to see him gone:
  17. Was the map of the first game big enough to incorporate air travel, like GTA does with helicopters etc? That might play into the whole heist/wealth/beyond the road story line. Not sure how likely this is though, but I think I'd enjoy a game with GTA style air travel but with proper car physics on the road too. That MX-5 interior looks decent enough up there, but any improvements won't be unwelcome.
  18. So as we're 5 races into the championship, where do y'all predict this one is going? It has been quite competitive at the front, but it's clear Vettel and Hamilton will most likely be the two frontrunners, not sure who will win, I predict Hamilton will get it but I think i'd prefer Vettel as it'd be a nice change and it would make Ferrari happier within the sport, the sport needs Ferrari to be happy. It also looks as if Bottas and Raikkonen will end up taking some important points throughout the season, even potentially being on the top of the podium, so hopefully it won't become a predictable championship race. How did people rate the Spanish GP?
  19. I have a similar problem, the TV in the dining room likes to turn itself on at random times during the night. I only ever use it loudly for music/radio during the day so when it comes on, it then plays music very very loudly :shrug: The timer setting on the TV is off, and i've ruled a faulty remote out by seeing if happens with no batteries in the remote etc. :hmmm: Guess it's just a faulty TV now. I know this isn't really a similar problem, it's not even that much of a problem, I just felt like posting it.
  20. This video is stunning, I hope it wins some of the industry awards whenever they're next held, it's one of the best car reviews I've seen in a while:
  21. [quote name='Diablo']This is getting weird... but I cannot look away! :eek:[/QUOTE] That sums up my feeling towards the 10000000 snapchats I got from @TIMELESS 's night out the other week.
  22. You've had such a strong love of his voice for a long time now, it's weird :cheeky: Happy Birthday Devin :birthday:
