Car Freak

Well, here are my very first attempts at panning shots:

I love sunsets... These are only 2 of the many that I've taken...

For all who think the regular A3 looks too wussy... http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/Test%20Drive%20Unlimited/20080516220007.jpg

Why, after all these years, have Ferrari still not fixed their reliability problems? We want internal combustion, not spontaneous combustion...

Phew... When you said "thrash" my first thought was that she stuffed it...

:mad:

hmmm 12 hrs difference, I might be interested

Today was fun... Saw a Maser 4300GT on the bus, crossed the road in front of a grey RS4 Avant, heard a Gallardo cruise by, saw a red 360 Spider, then a 993 Carrera, grey Gallardo, Z4M Coupe, Ferrari 308 and a 964 Ruf-something in a shop window, then finally saw a yellow 360M with CS stripes

Big, yes. Heavy, yes. Wallowy? Hell no man... Suspension is tied down sooo much better And today I've been reminded why everyone hates American cars. I really wanted to give the Dodge Caliber a chance, on account that I love its looks, but my god the interior is crap... Ill fitting panels, woeful design, really limited interior room, awful coloured and worse to touch plastics... <vomits> I'm not saying that all US cars are necessarily like this, but now I understand what all the British Journos say about crap US interiors...

Had a great day today... Saw a yellow 993 Turbo, a Maser Ghibli, a R34 GT-R, Cayman, modded 986 Boxster, Bentley Arnage and a Rolls Silver Seraph... And I even sat in a Jag XF!!! (the startup sequence is much cooler than on Top Gear)

Man that Koeniggsegg sound mod is brilliant!

The ultra skinny tires probably help, as do the wet roads... And, that vid reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIo9EgDOReU

Went for Leadfoot. Like mine it's also a believable little jump

Speaking of crashes, I nearly had one too... Was about to cross the road (obviously not at a proper crossing point), which was just in front of a taxi stand, with my family and mum's friend from UK. Saw a gap in the traffic and was about to cross when 2 taxis came along, one with and the other without a passenger, and wouldn't you know it, just when I step off the kerb, the one without a passenger came from the back left (stand was on the right side of the road) and made a spectacular dive for the taxi stand, only to get hit by the other taxi... Catch was that the momentum of the first taxi cutting in pushed the second one right to the kerb (could hear the alloy scraping), and right over the point I was standing literally a second before. Thank goodness I jumped back on the kerb, but that was definitely one of the most scary things that ever happened to me

luuk::omg: Oh and I see you were running around in a Smart... ;) (9th picture) Really love the one with the Bentley Conti GTC where the camera is tilted... Post that one on Score My Cars on Flickr, I'm sure it'll go down very well! I'd definitely give it a 10)

Ok I've decided to get the game from here: http://eurogamer.gamesplanet.com/produit.html?product_id=507&category_id=15 One question though, will installing the pack undo all the sound/rim swaps that I've done?

so why don't you enter?

I think Iced will win more because of the car than the picture itself... :rolleyes:

:bump: Hmmm there doesn't seem to be a lot of entries this week...

Er well I wanted to see a phone on display in the shop, so i leaned my head in. Next thing I knew, I hit the glass surprisingly hard... Worst of all, a couple of 20-something y.o. girls saw what happened and were s******ing at me

On the disc itself? atari.com

This is mine: http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/Test%20Drive%20Unlimited/IMG_0001.jpg Won't this have compatibility issues if I'm using the US version?

then which one?

Being in Asia, I think I have the US version of TDU. However, when I went to download the megapack just now (from Atari US website), this message appeared: We're Sorry. One of the products you selected has been excluded from purchase in your country. Please use your browser's "Back" button, and select a different product. (Error Number: 30053012 - 0) Anyone know how to fix this? Or how I could get myself a legit copy of the megapack?

Saw Singapore's only Renault Vel Satis near my house... Looks quite alright I think
