  1. Oooh pretty. Although probably game breaking. The traffic is very temperamental at the best of time. "There are 6 lanes on this road that we will be on for 5 miles, let's all use the left hand lane only!". Dread to think what it's gonna be like when more service vehicles are added to keep the roads clear. Hearses and bin lorries are bad enough. :lol:
  2. Booked my place at a track day at Donington. So far, I'll have the newest car there by 6 years but it will be the most likely to break down. :lol: There's going to be a 1960 MG A with 90bhp. Wonder how many times I can lap him in one session.
  3. 34.416 My fastest time in tuning was faster and I'm sure there's even more time in there somewhere to be had.
  4. The Saleen was my first car (and current car). It's a beast but it doesn't like the corners at all... :lol: But be warned. :evil: I'm not playing my cards till later on in the week. Muahaha
  5. The first car I chose was uncontrollable. :lol: Extremely fast but it just wanted to take off or slide on the corners because there's a little bump just as the banking starts. You'll need to go faster though. I set a quicker time in tuning mode. :p
  6. Here's a link to the live stream for those lazy Ducks. The stream has just started and the landing will be at 1842GMT so the launch will presumably be before that. Keep those eyes peeled! Ustream.Tv I will try to watch this and hope that this one is a great success!
  7. Kinda. Depends if it's the thread on the rack that's knackered or just the locknut. Can't turn the locknut by hand so there is some resistance there and if it does move itself then the steering wheel will be off centred so I'll know to stop driving. It's not like the wheel will just turn itself really quickly. Need to get it sorted before the trackday though. Going around a corner at 80mph is a bit different to 30 :lol: You can't just by part of the steering rack for this car so I'd have to replace the whole thing. But used racks are about £40 so it's not all that bad and I've looked how to change the whole rack and it's fairly simple as there's no engine to get in the way. Probably take me an hour to swap them.
  8. Changed my track rod ends and didn't injure myself or get dirty! Got the car tracked by a hunter laser alignment machine. All good until the mechanic told me that the lock nut that tightens up against the TRE wasn't tightening. *gulp* It just spins but not loosely. It can't be undone and it can't be tightened. Most odd. Car is fine to drive for now though and I've had 50+ miles of no issues. If it's the steering rack threads that are buggered then I need to buy a new steering rack(£180 :() but at least I get to fix my car again. :D Also took it out into the peak district in the snow to have some fun! It was fun! :happyroll:
  9. BeamNG 0.5.1 Released Never heard of BeamNG? What have you been doing!?!? BeamNG is a physics based sandbox game for cars based on a decent selection of standard maps and a large array of mods including maps and cars. The recent update adds a loooong list of fixes and new features to the game including the 1953 Burnside Special as showcased in the video below. New car components have been added like variable boost turbochargers for some cars, new adjustable suspension components etc. Improved car deformation from crashes Improved sounds, you can now hear the different suspension components when stressed and likely breaking You can now set fire to your car! Physics and tyres have been improved Loading time improvements Check out the full update list here
  10. I don't see why it should delay any future games but I hope the new(probably not new but new to the position) guys keep R* going in the same direction and don't turn into EA. :eek:
  11. :lol: Give it a go. You never know, you might beat it. :nods:
  12. 2:05.911 Got a decent rhythm through the 2nd half of the top of the mountain which is where I was losing a lot of time. And the first corner. Keep making a hash of the last corner though. Had to shift down to 1st gear to slow down enough and still nearly lost it. Another few tenths left in me yet. Just depends if I can find them again.
  13. Was just turning my Xbox on. Challenge accepted in about 2 hours when the update downloads and installs!
  14. Most of my laps I was several car lengths ahead of you by the 2nd corner. But on my fastest lap I messed up braking for the first corner so lost time on the straight. I'd say a high 2:05 is manageable if I do reasonably well in all sectors
  15. :damnit: Whenever I buy a season pass it goes on sale a few months after. Whenever I don't buy one but want one, it doesn't go on sale until after I buy it. *flap*
  16. Has anyone set any faster times? Can't go on the Xbox to check or try to improve.
  17. Holey moles that looks nice. :drool: Should be an interesting season!
  18. It looks pretty cool but I think I'll pass on it, too many Assassins Creed games now as if 1 a year wasn't more than enough. And for some reason it reminded me of the old Hercules game of all games. :hmmm:
  19. The 850 Evo is one of the best about right now. :hi5: Got one in my laptop and it's blisteringly quick. Just for the love of ducks do NOT install the software that comes with it. It only boosts performance in their own benchmarks and is pretty much impossible to remove from the system without it breaking stuff in Windows. :eek:
  20. I do appear to have forgotten to post them... [ATTACH]24603[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]24604[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]24605[/ATTACH]
