  1. :bump: This seems to have failed. Should we just restart this SoTW with a different theme?
  2. I reckon it will turn out quite a lot like Brawn last year. No sponsors to start with, but that will change over the course of the year
  3. Same here, I'm loving the new Renault colours, except for the stupid red sides for the front and rear wings. Does it remind any of you guys of the old Jordan team? :D
  4. Ok, that, I think, is something i'd truly be frightened to drive or sit in. :eek2:
  5. Do you mean the games you play with yourself or with the other people in the car? Most of the time when we go for a driving holiday, I just end up arguing with my sister :p
  6. Here's my (really rather crap) drawing of a McMerc SLR 722 I did when I was bored 2 years ago. Copied from a magazine, and even still it doesn't look right. Biggest problems for me are proportions, shading and symmetry; if you'll notice, the left side of the car doesn't actually match up with the right side :( http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/McMercSLRdrawing.jpg
  7. Was hoping that McLaren would have changed their livery a bit, after Santander leaving, but unfortunately it's still the same... At least the stupid wheel covers have gone, so that we can all enjoy their rather pretty new wheel design...
  8. Well i got the pic from here, so maybe the user went and de-saturated the photo... http://www.flickr.com/photos/58602720@N00/2336230640
  9. Finally! This has taken much too long for players of the other platforms... Just hope it'll somehow be released as a PC-DVD, like what they did for the 360, instead of being a download-only thing
  10. nope ;) (Koeni, I don't think Porsche GT3s come in anything other than manual)
  11. Yay! Those are quite a common sight in this part of the world... Anyway:
  12. That's already really awesome.... The best cars in my school are an Alfa 159 and an '05 Impreza STi with 400bhp. Having said that though, some of the cars that parents pick their kids up in are simply :drool:
  13. Check out what decided to grace my school with its presence today ;) http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/IMG_8087.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/IMG_8088.jpg
  14. The only reason they're nice and not good is because of GM's mis-management over the last 20 years. Pre-GM they had a pretty strong following (and still do, for the pre-GM models). I think the survivability of Saab really hinges on the new 9-5. It needs to be an XF-style success, otherwise Saab really will go under, and probably drag Spyker down with it
  15. GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saab's been saved!!! :woot: :bananajump: :monkeydance: :bananadance3: :yay: http://www.autosavant.com/2010/01/25/gm-sells-saab-to-spyker-sources-report/ http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/247004/ I've no idea why i'm so happy, but I just am
  16. I think so. I honestly don't care what they do, as long as they abolish the wide front/narrow rear wings configuration. They said it was to improve overtaking by cleaning up the air flow in the wake of the car as it moves along; guess what, it doesn't work!
  17. They're called regulations, mate, and i don't like them either... Merc one looks pretty good, but the Ferrari's is pants...
  18. Will this be allowed? Basically I took the original photo and went crazy with the exposure, contrast and brightness settings... Original: http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/Model%20Cars/th_IMG_8058edit.jpg Entry: http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/Model%20Cars/IMG_8058edit2.jpg
  19. IMO, all F1 cars should be required to have ice studs by law
  20. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm quite suspicious of your entries Mb. Never mind the fact that it's a replica (i did allow it after all), but did you really do those yourself. Because I know it can be ridiculously easy to buy a vinyl set online. And Carlos, yours doesn't quite look rally-ready. The bodykit looks like it'd get murdered at the first jump you come across... ;)
  21. Yay! We're online again! :bananajump: After this whole episode, i'm seriously thinking of donating. Still a student, and no credit card of my own, but i'll see if i can convince my parents. Doesn't seem likely, but i'll try
  22. What surface/background do you shoot on? I do need something like that for my model cars
