Even Mercs aren't spared the indignity, here in Singapore... http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/PICT0015-2.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/PICT0016-2.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/PICT0017-1.jpg

That is brilliant news! Really want to be able to drive the Scirocco there, but Rockingham looks like good news too. On a side note, how do you guys get all the different camera angles for you screenshots? Is it a different program or mod?

Mark.... <facepalm>

You need to cast your net further my friend.... Many more bargains to be had with the older cars. Here's a couple of slightly older Commodore SSs I found: http://www.drive.com.au/used-cars/HOLDEN/COMMODORE/Regional%2fOther/detail.aspx?id=12782750&lid=12782750&pg=1&pp=9&d=0&nv=1&SG=-168683326&pt=1 http://cars2.ebay.com.au/_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ260478765327 But my God the prices for cars there are unbelievable. TEN GRAND for a V8 Commodore SS!! edit: Found a couple more as well: E46 BMW 323i (probably a bit optimistic) http://www.drive.com.au/used-cars/BMW/3/Sydney/detail.aspx?id=13028500&lid=13028500&pg=1&pp=1&d=0&nv=1&SG=1110785230&pt=1 E34 BMW 535is ( :drool: ) http://www.drive.com.au/used-cars/BMW/5/North+Coast/detail.aspx?id=13235943&lid=13235943&pg=1&pp=0&d=0&nv=1&SG=-40813883&pt=1

I've had a lot of problems with the forum recently. Same things that Mark just mentioned. iirc, I think Shadow got his Falcon for not a lot of money. 7-8k, i think? Anyway, if your friend wants something cheap and reliable (and my God he's lucky to get that much cash for a car), a Falcon or Commodore is definitely the way to go

Decided to take a few shots of my Charger... http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/Model%20Cars/IMG_5849edit.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/Model%20Cars/IMG_5850edit.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/Model%20Cars/IMG_5857edit.jpg

I quite like that Countach actually... Looks pretty well made. Same for that March/Micra pickup

This is more a successor to ProStreet than Undercover

Well, the rear can step out in any sort of vehicle in real life, if you're ham-fisted enough What happens in the game though is that all 4 wheels are losing grip, thus you see four tire marks on the road. How is it possible for any car, particularly a RWD one, to oversteer and understeer at the same time?

I'm so embarrassed that Singapore is home to all this :(

How bout this then? The DMS-tuned Audi RS6. 680bhp and no external mods whatsoever... http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarreviews/233741/audi_rs6_dms.html

I'm going to have to digress guys... Yes, the physics may be slightly more realistic, but even driving in Most Wanted or even Underground felt more natural than this. NFS IMO should be an arcade racer. There are too many games out there that are sims, or claiming to be sims, and most casual gamers simply can't be bothered with serious racing. In trying to be more realistic however, EA (and whoever the developer is this time) have failed big time. Not only is it, like zubi said, neither here nor there, it doesn't even look right going round a corner. Take a look at this for example: And this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hehEFc2tavA Notice how the rear wheels are sliding out so much, and yet no opposite lock is applied? This isn't power-oversteer of a RWD car, it's how cars behave under normal conditions, and it's simply ridiculous. Ok, while it doesn't look natural, it's perhaps slightly understandable in an M3. But on a Pagani Zonda R? Big wing, diffuser, slick tires, racing aerodynamics? And yet the rear still steps out like that? I'm sorry, but this is simply unacceptable in a game trying to sell itself as a realistic driving game. Sure it looks awesome, sure there's lots of cars, sure there's Spa and the Nurburgring, but if a racing game can't even get the driving aspect of it right, then that's sorely missing the point isn't it? (And I know all this because I actually tried the damn thing today, both on the PS3 and Xbox.)

It's the weekend, so :bump:

I can't believe all you guys thought it was just a photoshop job... :rolleyes:

O god... I can't decide whether they should be banned from all public competitions, or given a medal! It's EPIC! Really, hats (and everything else) off to them for even daring to do this. Really quite well done for what is basically a strip show (and on family TV too!) It's utterly brilliant, but a crying shame this wouldn't last 5sec in America or Britain... I'd rep you, but sadly it needs to be spread first. Great find though! (might I just ask, HOW ON EARTH did you come across this? Just what were you really searching for? ;)

Bah... I was expecting something more along the lines of "upgraded brakes/low-profile tires/suspension coil-over kit/air filter and intake/sports exhaust etc etc etc" ;)

Work in progress? What're you gonna do to it?

Lol... I saw this in school today: http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/IMG_5835.jpg Also saw, later in the day, Maser Spyder Maser Granturismo Aston Vanquish S (!)

Mmmm....

Nope. Just Firefox and IE

I think that's the one that really got him noticed. Someone's posted that one here before

Strange. Now it works on IE. Possibly as a result of Mark helping me delete my caches. Still doesn't work on Firefox though, which is my default browser

Ken Block scaring some British people silly at the Jump Jam launch event at Silverstone. Some of those guys are wusses in my opinion... I'd never scream in fear like that ;) Man I really wish he did one of those things here in Asia. I'd do anything to get a ride in that car...

As ever, epic skills from him. You've just brightened up my evening. Have some rep...
