Are those side skirts and roof scoop stock? :cheeky:

Yeah, I'm having the same problem. I found a promising looking button on that page, but it came up with a registration form... in Russian. lol. Help? :oook:

When it gets to a final version, could you possibly release a version without the headlights permanently on? It just looks silly in my opinion. Great work anyway, those latest screenshots are awesome, looks like an original TDU car. :thumbsup:

I tried that, the interior cam in the Dino is too far forwards. So I put it on the 250 GTO, and it's beautiful.:D http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z245/matt88sco/TDU%20Pics/20081020170758.jpg

Aha, I shall wait for this fixed version, and perhaps replace another car. I can't bear to replace the Alfa GT permanently. I love Alfa Romeos, I love them gooooood.:cool:

I still have the only non-red Renault in this whole thread, lol.

I did a spot of rally driving in it. :D As you can see I also have the rim problem. I did try the rims that came with it, too, before you ask. http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z245/matt88sco/TDU%20Pics/20081019135144.jpg http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z245/matt88sco/TDU%20Pics/20081019135334.jpg

Yeah, I got that too, no matter what rims I used. It's like the rim itself is smaller than the tyre, and the rim is just floating in the middle. Apart from that, amazing car!:thumbsup: Now we need a Peugeot 309 GTi to compete with it. :D I preferred them to the 205s. EDIT: Why is every screenshot (in this whole thread) of it in red? :lol:

ZOMG QUADRUPLE POST! I put a Lada on the Saturn Sky and ended up with a lowrider. :lol: http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z245/matt88sco/TDU%20Pics/20081015155500.jpg

I just want MC:LA to come out for PC, 'nuff said.:cheeky: But, in TDU, I'd like to see at least your own number plates. Driving games have had them for years for god's sake, so why did Eden leave that out? I agree with most of the other posts. Just rims, colours and official body kits for the high end cars. Maybe a bit more customisation on the smaller cars.

I made the background in paint.net. Nice and industrialist / minimalist. http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z245/matt88sco/desktop15oct08.jpg

Somebody here has had a shortened Nissan GTR in their sig for ages now. Sorry I can't remember who it is. I actually saw a topic on doing that sort of thing on the paint.net forums, and remembered seeing that sig. So I did that Hummer H3 there. EDIT: Toy M5! http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z245/matt88sco/toym52.jpg

I modified a Hummer H3. :D Original: http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z245/matt88sco/hummer-h3-side.jpg Edited: http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z245/matt88sco/hummer-h3-short.jpg Was only a 5-minute job in Paint.net

YOU BROKE GRAVITY! Here's me, on some rocks. http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z245/matt88sco/OnTheRocks.jpg The rocks in question are at Torry Battery, on the southern side of the entrance to Aberdeen harbour. 'Twas a nice day for a walk, so, I did that...

------ Insane burglar alarm on my house went off at 4.30am. Not used it in 3 years. ++++++++ Got the electrician to kill it. --- Forgot the passenger side windscreen wiper on my car is still dead. ++ Saw an Aston DB9 and a DB9 Volante in the space of 5 minutes while driving to university + Had a nice drive through the night listening to Sneaker Pimps, got food at my destination, the 24 hour Tesco a couple of miles away.

Balto mentioned it already, and I see it. But a comet in TDU?! Wow, never seen that before. :oook:

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z245/matt88sco/TDU%20Pics/20081012002121.jpg Let's go for zero votes for a 4th week in a row! I'm practically guaranteed it this week with the number of people I've annoyed! :lol:

Two words: HELLS YEAH! :thumbsup:

SUV hits car: car full of mincemeat, lol. @ KTF, lots of cars weigh more than they did in 1975, and still return better MPG. Let's not forget, this is the HYBRID Escalade that does 20mpg. :lol:

Let's all have a nice debate here. First: I am NOT an environmentalist. Environmentalism just doesn't work. It's too extreme. The principle of the degree I'm studying is to accept that human activity will inevitably produce pollution. The aim is to minimise said pollution, by thinking about what you're doing. Second: Yeah, I do like cars, I even have a subscription to Top Gear magazine. But even TG now accept the fact that more efficient cars are better, you see them encouraging the small cars that manage high MPG figures. They also generally enjoy making fun of inefficient American cars. I used to drive a 1975 Land Rover Series 3, it could do about 20mpg. What's worrying is that a lot of modern American SUVs STILL can't manage this. The Escalade Hybrid was American Green Car of the Year last year, because it could do 20MPG!!! :oook: The point is, that old LR I had was used properly. It had a tow bar, it was used almost daily to tow trailers through muddy fields, that's what it was designed for. People buy SUVs for security because so many other people have SUVs that it's most likely that they're going to get hit by another one. That's the only justification behind security. No matter how big your car is, it isn't exactly bullet proof, at least without some serious mods. Status? Plenty of normal cars out there which have status. High driving position? Plenty of tall cars out there too which don't have stupid amounts of horsepower just so that they can move, due to the sheer weight of the vehicle in the first place. Example: Why buy a BMW X5 when you could buy a 5-series Touring for less money. The 5-series is also faster, more efficient, and better handling, with just as much interior space. Hell, most new SUVs were never even designed to do proper off-roading in the 1st place! They were designed purely to be large and imposing on the road! Take things like the Merc ML Class, BMW X5, Audi Q7 for example. They have 'features' that apparently make them able to go off road, like adaptive suspension and traction control etc. but in reality they struggle on wet grass. From what I've seen on the roads in the UK, they shouldn't be called SUVs, they should be called UAVs. Urban Assault Vehicles. The people who drive them round here are agressive, big-headed idiots who do not heed for anybody else on the road. I have been tail-gated at 80mph several times by large, usually black SUVs. Once, in the space of 4 miles I was nearly shunted 3 times by the same moron in a Mercedes ML class because he was on his phone. I could see him on his phone by looking in my mirror, that's how close he was. Also, that's illegal anyway. Some people buy them because they think an SUV will help in the 3 days of snow we get a year in the UK. In fact, that's the worst thing you can do. The heavier the vehicle, the more momentum it has. That's very bad on slippery surfaces. When I drive in the snow, I see a smashed up luxo-barge SUV nearly every day. Really, Why is humanity so stupid sometimes? If it were possible to go back in time and prevent the whole 'SUV' thing starting, I would. Then we would only have proper 4x4s, used only by farmers, the military, and local authorities. Sports Utility Vehicle. They're not exactly Sporty, they're not very useful or utilitarian. They are a vehicle, of sorts. One out of three then.

Because the other door is open. How do you think he took the photo? Fail cake for you. :cheeky: I'd rather have the Ranger any day though, lol.

Credit crunch? What credit crunch? Lol. Bloody typical, a huge pointless SUV with a 5.0L+ engine and chrome wheels. Do you use that to tow anything? Or go off-road? Those tahoes struggle on wet grass for crying out loud. This kind of thing just offends me. Why do people drive around in these things when they DON'T NEED THEM?! Tell her to get something more suited to what she needs. Sorry if I sound like I'm flaming, but I'm in the 3rd year of a degree in Sustainable Environmental Management, and every time I get in my car I see god knows how many stupid 4x4s with huge chrome wheels driving around Aberdeen, and they're usually driven extremely badly... Again, these vehicles are totally pointless. The only 4x4s that should be produced are the basic models with hose-down interiors, for farmers and public authorities to use. They're the only people who need them. My dad has a LR Discovery. Yes, it has a large engine (by UK standards) a 2.5 turbo diesel. But it also has a bloody great towbar on the back and a liberal coating of mud. Why? Because he's a farmer! He uses it for its intended purpose!

That case is the same as mine! I also have a 19" Dell screen! Although it's a different one... http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z245/matt88sco/mycomp.jpg Nice compact set-up in the corner of my room. Check out the shiny mouse, hehe.

TRIPLE POST! I spent the last couple of hours in Paint.net doing this: I was very very bored. http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z245/matt88sco/TDU%20Pics/GolfR32Project.jpg
