Nice, where abouts in holland is it??

on people who

Just a slight correction he would be Stig No. 3. The 1st Stig who dressed in black was Perry Mcarthy and after he said in his book I am the Stig (not in them words) they killed him on an aircraft carrier. Then Stig dressed in white was sent from the Stig Factory and no one has yet found out his identity. i'm saying Mansell as he got a 1.44 in the resonably priced car a the Stig said that it was possible before he went on the show. just my opinion. But if Mr Schumacher was to be Stig he would be Stig 3

By Major Nelson himself on his site link http://www.majornelson.com May '07 Dash update is now available I am happy to announce that the May 2007 Dashboard update has now been officially released and is in process of being rolled out across the LIVE service. For many of you, the next time you sign in to Xbox LIVE, you will be prompted to receive the update. A couple of things to keep in mind over the next few hours as the update is deployed: You’ll be prompted to accept the update when you sign into Xbox Live sometime in the next few hours. You will only receive the prompt for the update upon sign in. You won’t get it in middle of a game. Regardless of what you have heard, it's not geographically based. No one area of the world will get it before another. If you log out and then back in again, this won’t force the update…it will only anger people on your friends list who will see you sign in, then out, then in, then out … Be patient, everyone will eventually receive the update In addition to the LIVE Messenger integration feature in the new Dashboard, you’ll also see: New achievement pop-up with name and score value New Marketplace blade places content all in one place Friends playing now feature at Xbox LIVE Arcade Console can be set to turn off after downloads to save energy. I want to say something about the last bullet point. What this means is that you can queue up your downloads and turn your console ‘off.’ When you turn it off during a download, you are actually switching your Xbox 360 into low power mode and the power light will blink very slowly as it continues downloading. After all the downloads are complete, the blinking light will stop and the console will automatically turn itself completely off. Downloads done. Here is the press release that outlines the rest of the new features. Once you download the update and have had some time to play around with the new features, which one is your favorite? Edit: Xbox.com now has some videoes and additional information posted Edit: I am seeing reports of some users who are experiencing difficulty downloading the newly released update for the Xbox 360 dashboard. If you are experiencing this issue, please perform the following procedure. From the dash; 1. Navigate to the System blade 2. Select 'Network Settings' 3. Select 'Test Xbox Live Connection' 4. Apply Autoupdate when prompted. If you continue to experience issues downloading the update for the Xbox 360 dashboard, please contact Xbox Customer Support at 1-800-4MY-XBOX. May '07 Dash update Video FAQ The team who worked on the video playback part of the Xbox 360 console have posted a Video FAQ. This should answer some of your questions that are now popping up as a result of the spring update and many of the new features and file formats that are now supported. (some) Dashboard Messenger questions answered Now that you have had a few hours to play with the new dashboard update, some folks have asked some questions about the new Messenger integration. Let me see if I can help clear a couple of things up: Q: I don’t want to automatically sign in to Live Messenger on my console…how do I turn it off? A: Sign in to Xbox LIVE, go to the Xbox LIVE blade, then select your gamercard and press A. Go down to ‘Auto Sign-in’ and press A. You can set your preference for Xbox Live and Windows Live Messenger separately here. Q: The email address assigned to my Xbox LIVE account is different to the email address I use on my PC for Windows LIVE messenger. Is there a way for me to still access my messenger account? A: Not at this time. We are working on the ability to allow users to change the email address they originally used when signing up for Xbox Live. The feature will be available in an upcoming release. Post any other questions you may have and I will try to track down answers. Also, I am in meetings all day, so I will only be able to check in a few times today to see how things are going. Xbox 360 May '07 Update FAQ Why can’t I use Messenger on my Xbox if I have a child account? The Xbox Live Messenger team places high value on child safety and is working on a solution to allow users thirteen-years-old and older the ability to safely use Messenger on Xbox 360. The solution must ensure that children not be contacted by unauthorized Messenger users, and must adhere to our Family Settings policies that give parents the ability to determine with whom their children can communicate. This is important work which requires proper time and diligence. We will update the community when we have more information to share. I am now 18 or older. Why is my account still considered a child account? There is a very small group of Xbox LIVE members who first created their accounts while under the age of 18 but have since passed their 18th birthday. These members cannot access Messenger on Xbox 360 at this time. We will explore solutions that enable these members to use Messenger on their Xbox 360 and will update the community when we have more information to share. How do I use a USB Keyboard with Messenger on Xbox 360? When you're using Messenger on the console, you can use it with a keyboard while you're engaged in other activities, such as watching a video or playing a game. It is possible to use a USB keyboard while you are having an IM conversation on Xbox 360. Simply attach the USB cable from your keyboard to one of the USB ports on the Xbox 360. You can use some of the following keyboard shortcuts to interact with the Chat Box: Sign in to Messenger. When you are not signed in to Messenger, press Windows + M to take you to the Messenger tab where you can sign in. Start a conversation. If you are signed in but don't have any open conversations, pressWindows + M to take you to the Messenger tab where you can start a new conversation. Note If you have an open conversation in Messenger and want to go to the conversation area, open the Xbox Guide and select Chat and IM or press the Windows key on your keyboard. Open the Chat Box. If you have any open conversations, press Windows + M to open the Chat Box right over your game or movie. You can see the last few lines of any active conversations and enter a message. This is a good way to exchange quick messages. Close the Chat Box. You can close the Chat Box the same way you brought it up, by pressing Windows +M. Switch between conversations in Chat Box mode. You may have more than one open conversation. Cycle between conversations by pressing CTRL + -> (right arrow key). Open the Guide while in Chat Box mode. Press the Xbox Guide button on your controller or press the Windows key to close the Chat Box and open the Guide. Note If you using a Mac keyboard, substitute the Apple key for the Windows key.

Over the next few hours, when you sign in to Xbox LIVE, you’ll receive a prompt to accept this mandatory update. What’s in this update? The only thing this minor release will do is prepare your Xbox 360 for the wireless guitars that are being released in a few months. No new features beyond this wireless support are included in this update. As usual, we’ve got some new features planned for later this year as part of our biannual release cycle. This is the latest about the update, i will keep updating it as and when they release FAQ's and other info relating to problems from this update

Out of curiosity, where you going to see them, a Ferrari museum or car show??

Its an Opel. It is in production only in Europe as an Opel or in the U.S. as a Saturn. From what i remember reading in TG mag they have no plans to bring it to the U.K. and put a Vauxhall badge on it. Which is good as putting a vauxhall badge on a car ruins it.

Good find Diablo, lets hope this is true. I can't wait for the new features.

Games i play all the time are: TDU Fifa 07 (online games mainly) Guitar Hero 2 (sad i know) XBLA Pinball XBLA Poker They are the main games I play click on my GT to see what other games i occasionally play/own.

Like this site as you can see up to an hour before shame on the refresh rate of ten mins

Wouldn't mind seeing any of this in the game, player police cars would be fun coz you could play cops n robbers, prefer 4x4's over SUV's but still good for exploring off road. not sure the rest would fit in the game really audi A2 and citreons are a bit to slow and small for the game and trucks and busses are too big and slow. Expanding on the Truck idea i wouldn't cruising round in a Scania 5 series Topline and putting all the light bars and bull bars on, they could be the customising options as thats all you can really do to a truck you can't really tune them and then you could do the car transport missions with the cars on the trailer so you don't loose any points when you crash or a big convoy cruising down the freeway. Also you could put say six cars on a trailer and take them to a location where theres a car show and show them off to other players in the game. But i doubt this will happen though as they don't really fit into the game and cause a lot of programming which means extremely costly DLC's but a great idea for TDU 2.

I've just tried it in a different browser and it works fine now, i was using BT internet browser which i've used since i've had BT and that was causing the log out thing so i've just tried IE 7 and it works fine logged in and out and the games still worked, so i'm gonna make it my defult browser. Thanks for the help Diablo

I tried that it worked the first time i logged in after deleting my cookies but when i log out and come back later and log in it starts bringing up that mesage again. Yesterday i managed to get it to work buy doing what craigie said he does in his thread 'forum randomly logged me out' but that doesn't seem to be working now either.

When you start up the console or if your in game you will get a message saying update availible (like when you start a game) if you decline you will be logged out of live.

After seeing a long wheelbase Mercedes Sprinter minibus on the ring the other day (its on about page 16) i now have found another van racing the ring....... .... with a trailer!! i know its probably not racing

a tree, leaving

It said that the dashboard was coming the week of May 7th which means anytime this week and on another forum i read that Major Nelson said in his podcast that there was no date for it yet and he will try and get more info for tomorrow (tomorrow being today). another thing i've seen is that an email confirmation will not be sent round M$ until tomorrow detailing the updates and release date, this was put on Xbox.com by an employee's mate who was level 4 (i know he email thing might not be true). So even theough it said the week of May 7th, it could be Friday at the worst case scenario but M$ usually release updates on a Tuesday the same day the release PC updates.

i managed to get to 656 place on 180 in heavy traffic in my Farbound but i've since dropped to 680 last time i looked, thought that was pretty good as most of my results are in around 20,000 to 30,000. Well done to Capn Wakka for getting #1 spot

Well sort of, my Dads from Hull (No. 1 worst place to live apparently) my Mums from Essex and i was born in Essex, so i'm half northern but there must be some northern blood in me to make me like BOGOF offers and take photo's of articles instead of buying the mag. Still no email but i did only send it Sat morning, but I doubt i'm gonna get one as there was only 500 cars.

Lexus but they are both the same car, Rebadged Toyota's for markets outside Japan as both of these companies are badged Toyota's in Japan i.e. Lexus IS200 = Toyota Altezza. Lexus = Euro Toyota Infiniti = U.S. Toyota Basically these companies are the posh sector of Toyota. Land Rover or Range Rover
