Hey there, Welcome to TDUCK :hiya:

You drive an abarth, I mean, like, seriously? :p People in glass houses.....

Someone get that man a thesaurus :p I'm very interested in this game, I've always preferred the WW1 type war games but i'm not sure whether i'll like that twist they seem to be putting on it.

- TDU Of course this one is the one that resulted in me entering your lives and you owe Atari a lot as you'd all be so much worse off without me and TDU ever existing :p It was the chilled back approach of the game, although it did revolve around racing you could have a lot of fun doing things that did not require skill. Being able to cruise in great cars around amazing scenery was just groundbreaking to me. - Need For Speed Underground 2 This might come as a shock to you but I was once young and immature, and during this time I was not as classy as I am now :leaves: I loved creating chav-tastic cars on NFSU2 and it was unrivaled at the time. Of course it was NFS so the usual criticisms apply but at the age I was playing it, it was exactly what I wanted. - Forza 3 I got the Limited edition with the USB etc and it was just a good game, the game allowed me to push myself and get better at driving on the game. Was it this one we had a fair few evenings racing together online? I seem to remember mellors being an absolutely awful driver. - Gran Turismo 4 This is the first proper racing game that I got competitive on, I absolutely loved doing the endurance races on the game but my save files used to always corrupt and on a game that takes forever to get to a decent place it was heartbreaking. - Midnight Club Some good fun was had on this game, it wasn't amazing but it was a good time killer. Notable mentions: Outrun 2006 - I loved the Arcade style gaming on this, you didn't have to think much or put much effort into interacting with the game, it was just pure fun. Crazy Taxi - I forgot about this games existence until I read Diablo's post. Much like above, very fun, not much thinking :D The Simpsons Hit & Run - Is it a driving game? Meh, probs not, but still, I enjoyed the driving elements of the game :D PGR4 - I loved the graphics on this, the gameplay wasn't quite as revolutionary but I felt the graphics were better than most of its rivals at the time.

They can say whatever they want, this is nothing but public humiliation for Kyvat. As for the tensions mentioned, I still refuse to believe it's a simple Kyvat-Sainz tension (or between their respective teams), there's obviously been a lot of tensions going on behind the scenes but I don't think it's as straight forward as they'd have us believe.

I'd say NFS Underground 2 and how 'open world' it was to an extent is what started it for me and is what eventually led to me knowing I'd enjoy TDU upon hearing of its existence.

I hated them too but didn't see the option of where to change them tbh :p I completely agree. The option is obvs there but I needed to get back to something more important haha

I tried to do something slightly better than that :p Unsure if I succeeded.

Hey guys, If you had the chance to play a driving/racing game again for the first time, what game would you choose? What game has left a lasting effect on you, please say why so we can all reminisce together :nods: Here's just a few examples so you don't think 'oh crap I forgot about that one, let me change my mind!' - TDU/TDU2 (what are these games? never heard of them before) - Need For Speed Most Wanted / Hot Pursuit / Underground 2 - Forza / Forza Horizon - Mcrae's Dirt - Gran Turismo - Driver - Project Cars - rFactor - Sega Rally - The Crew - Assetto Corsa - Formula 1 games? - Race Driver: Grid - Midnight Club Post away :duck:

Yeah I do not for one minute think the Sainz/Verstappen thing is true. If it was, manage your god damn drivers Toro Rosso, I'd imagine the rivalry between Hamilton and Rosberg last year was much worse and you didn't see one of them getting the sack.

Holy crap. Rumours are flying around that Red Bull and Toro Rosso are going to switch Kvyat for Verstappen. Talk about being publicly humiliated. The reason this is holy crap is because people are saying it might happen next week, rather than inbetween seasons. Some reputable sources too not just gossip. Wow.

That's definitely a good thing, it means they won't be releasing (another) AMG vehicle just to try and get those high-end sales when the chassis and underpinnings for the car just weren't designed with that intention. AMG Line makes sense, why would someone be buying this when there are proven vehicles on sale that will most likely do a better job? I can't imagine this is going to be cheaper than a Hilux. People will be buying this for the Merc badge, the nice LED Bi-Xenon headlights and the faux-leather interior.

How much of the truck is Nissan R&D etc? For a large company it'd be a bit embarrassing if they've done a half arsed job on it.

I think i'd rather have the Leon *shrug* This car would without a doubt not pass the infamous JC Kristin Scott Thomas test, and whilst I know that people should not always agree with him/that rule/it/whatever for me it does kind of work. A half cage? This is a hot hatch not a touring car, although I can forgive it slightly due to its limited run.

Oh god, just a single exhaust on all but the QV version? That's very.... fiat of them. I spotted a while back that they sell Giulettas with plastic wheel trims (or at least did), this is Alfa, not Fiat, that's just absolute crap.

If i'm honest I thought you'd bought an ice scraper for your car windscreen until I read the caption.

Great spec GTi there Maddog :hmmm: Sometimes they can look so ordinary and 'golf' like haha, but white with those wheels with the red at the front really does make it look like something special.

Oh I wasn't expecting them to stop or even get anywhere near close to shopping, there were just a few situations where I'd have thought trying to decrease speed even slightly might have helped haha

:hmmm: Do these cars not have brakes or something? There are a few times where you'd think you'd try and slow down or change course to limit any impact in those videos but the reaction times didn't seem amazing haha Absolutely crazy, and is that your iphone going off in the background a few times? :p

Nice choices Yours Truly, those Z3s are great. And nice car mells :D

I do see the resemblance but at the same time I do like the design of the Porsche. I think the Guards Red colour makes it look cheap tbh, I doubt that will be a very popular opinion but I just don't like Guards Red. The only car I think it looks okay-ish on is a GT3, even the Turbo/S looks a bit poo in it.

Why are some cars allowed (or not allowed, but get away with...) having the front plate flat, on the front splitter but others don't? The splitter on this thing is huge and has space for it to be flat and it'd look so much better. But i guess if it's not 100% legal, those paying 400k for the conversion wouldn't be happy if they got stopped/fined. Now these GTRs are road legal I can't help but feel the P1 feels more special to me than the other 2 of the trinity now, or are there plans for road legal extreme versions of them still in the pipeline?

My main issue with the silver/chrome fittings on that Porsche is that it looks salesman/business car spec, like something you'd have no say in being given as all the safe options must be ticked so its resale value is the safest haha, but obviously it's a porsche not a BMW 3 series.... I kinda like it though, it's quite discreet.

I posted the GTC4Lusso a page or two back, is that the blue you'd but on the spyder? Dark blue interior would have worked well yeah, good idea :hmmm:

Hey Ferdi! Welcome to TDUCK, I hope you stick around to get to know us and let us get to know you better :) I look forward to hearing more about your project.
