  1. 4th attempt, rubbish one though. I've not long woken up :p.
  2. Actually, those BBSs look pretty good on it.
  3. 76: You always seem to have guests over at your house at the top of the windy mountain road (whenever you leave, there are people driving behind you). 77: There is a magical island that you get to by driving through a magic E at 40mph with a cruise ship that never leaves and strange gravity that is impossible to drive a bike on without jumping up and down. 78: Tom Selleck is nowhere to be seen. 79: There are more MC12s in Hawaii than actually made. 80: There are millions of red-haired twins that work in all the clothes stores and car dealerships in Hawaii. 81: In Hawaii you can drive up to the front of the garage in your house and enter your house, and you will magically appear in front of your house driving to your garage again. 82: If you put Lexus rims on a GT500 the world implodes. I really don't think we'll get to 1000, we already have people repeating each other as it is.
  4. My 3rd try, hopefully i'll beat my 2nd. Didn't feel as good as my 2nd try, so probably wasn't as good.
  5. Just found out, unless I remember the password for my PSN ID, i'm screwed. They said they sent me my password via e-mail this morning, still got no e-mail from them, and there are people on forums who got told that by PSN months ago and still not got it, so yeah, looks like no R8 for me or pictures from me getting posted :(.
  6. I gave in earlier and sold my 300C (which I will post pictures of when PSN decides to e-mail me my password), my DUB Challenger (sold one of them this morning) and my DUB Murcielago to get an S7, and it sucks. Like, really bad. So I got rid of it and got me a normal Murcielago. And since yesterday I got the 3000GT from the time trial but sold it, got the Eclipse from the time trial and modified it nicely (IMO) and put it on Rate My Ride and got the Boss 302 Mustang from the time trial and made a Eleanor look-alike. WILL post pics when PSN stops being stupid.
  7. 11: Is full of 10 year olds ramming people with S7s. 12: Features a car where the interior is the black hole (default car). 13: Is full of european models. 14: Doesn't quite grasp the concept of licence plates. 15: Is full of drivers who can't make their minds up which lane they want to stay in. 16: Is full of police officers too embarassed (for some reason) to keep the Saab badge on their police cars. 17: Has more Enzos than we've ever produced. 18: Puts a dozen silencers on Skyline GT-Rs (for some reason). 19: Puts like 5psi turbos on Skyline GT-Rs. 20: All characters are "cool guys". 21: Is full of guys with mysterious packages featuring things that the legality of are most probably questionable.
  8. I got it, but having trouble running it. I have a 24-bit sound card and Vista only sees 16-bit of it for some reason, just going to try the Dx9 thing now.
  9. Will try it again. Will try again later, don't think that one was that great either.
  10. Bad attempt, had to cough about a quarter through it :p. Will try again later.
  11. Lol, yeah, just found that out last night. I'll try and get it for the sake of it anyway, but I don't see why all that fuss has to be made for an R8. For a Reventon or LP560 or ZR1 then maybe, but not for an R8. It's so annoying, I can't use the Social Club for MC:LA at the moment because I haven't linked it to my PS3, and I can't do that because I can't remember my PSN password because I remember it wouldn't let me use the password I usually use for things so I had to make some new one, and I've done the Forgot My Password thing on the PSN site this morning and still not got an e-mail back from them with it :(. So I can't upload my pictures :(.
  12. I only really listen to Hardstyle on YouTube so LastFM won't pick it up and I can't be bothered to download every track from YouTube I listen to.
  13. Lmao, that was brilliant, I really un-expected that.
  14. That's exactly the problem. When Hot Pursuit 1 & 2 were made NFS wasn't that popular, but with all the sales and popularity they got, they started changing it to look more appealing to children so it would sell more, not realising (or caring for that matter) about the people who have stuck with NFS since the original games. I only started playing it from NFSU2 but i've played Hot Pursuit 2 and have Porsche Unleashed for GBA and I can see what they've done.
  15. :O Diablo that S600 looks like t3h sexness!!!! I wants.
  16. Those screenshots do look very nice actually. Not sure what to pick the game up for though, PC or PS3. Probably PC, will look better. And anyone know which 240SX is in it? *Prays for PS13 Varietta*
  17. Wow, that's interesting, didn't notice that. Mind, I use cockpit view so I wouldn't. And yeah, we should merge the two topics together, it's just making it awkward at the moment.
  18. Spent most of the afternoon on it, now have a DUB Camaro, 2 DUB Challengers, 300C SRT8 (my baby), 350Z Roadster and the DUB Murcielago (just won it, not had a chance to drive it yet). I did buy an R34 GT-R but it's absolutely awful in this game, and the kits for it are terrible. Just trying to unlock the next class vehicles so I can pick up my Saleen :D. And Cpt, it's a great game IMO. The customization is nice, the colour customization especially is brilliant, for the exterior and especially the interior. It offers some nice kits for some cars, and hurrendous kits for others. The AI can be quite annoying, i've had so many times when they have span and taken me down with them or rammed me into walls, and the police really crack down on you in this game (not so much while racing, but if you're on a 40mph road and you drive past a police officer at 45mph, he'll start chasing you, and if you don't pull over in the next 10 seconds you have about 10 squad cars on you) but it's just easier to pull over, they never give fines that big. If you have played the other Midnight Club games, you'll be used to the handling. It's not AS arcadey as MC3 or MC2, but it still is quite strange. It's a great game overall though, and they have modeled LA so well in it. I've been to LA so many times before (one of which being two months ago) and I know my way around it because it is modeled so perfectly. The car selection is quite good in it (only 3 bikes though), and it's great in the sense that it kind of forces you to stick to the speed limit, which can be annoying on 40mph roads (which become 30mph roads if it's raining a lot) but cruising on the freeway at 65mph in the 350Z feels so good. I highly recommend buying it. Btw, what happened to the R8 in the game from the trailers they kept advertising? Why haven't we got it?
  19. Diablo, what's with the buckets in the Gallardo?? I've just got my S14A still and the same Camaro I won in the pinks ages ago (not done paint work, just all the performance and dash-mounted tachometer), just trying to unlock all the Skylines and RX7s and stuff, got $98,000 saved up so far :P. The best thing i've noticed about MC:LA, is it IS actually modeled exactly on LA, as i've been to LA so many times (one of which times was about 2 months ago :D) so I already know my way around, it's exactly on. Except on Santa Monica Pier they've left out the aquarium, and the Fishermans restaurant is now a Bubba Gump Restaurant (ate in there 2 months ago :D). They've also left out Venice Beach (:() and they've made all the freeways join up, but for some reason the 101 ends up on the 5, then the 10, then the 101 again in the loop in the game. Still not sure whether I want an RX7, 350Z, 3000GT or Skyline GT-R yet though...
  20. My Top 5 Worst Games of all time I agree. I just love the underground-ness of it and it's the only real game that represents the street car culture. My 5 Worst Games: 5.) Virtua Fighter I'm a huge fan of the Tekken series, so to me the Virtua Fighter controls and fighting styles are terrible. 4.) SSX Blur I have a Wii and I hate it, and a good example of why I hate it is this game. See, games for the Wii that have come out for other consoles too have a tendancy to force you to use the remote and nunchuk (For Example, the handbrake on Driver: Parallel Lines (which is a good game) is pulling the Wiimote up, so you need to keep your arm level the whole time you are playing the game, which hurts your arm) and Driver only just saved itself on the Wii because it was a good game. Now, i've played the SSX games since the first SSX for PS2, and still have all of them and i'm a huge fan, but this game forced you to use the Wiimote and Nunchuk to too big an extent, and it's not a good game at all this time round either, so it has nothing to fall back on. 3.) Race 07 After playing GTR2, I expected this to be a good game, since I like GTR2 and BTCC racing, so in my head, this equals win. Again, down to poor assumptions i was disappointed. Now, the physics were ok. They weren't the best in the world but I found them quite realistic and I could live with them. But what annoyed me was the lack of excitement and the size of the tracks. Now, i know it's a touring car simulator and I know BTCC races are usually on small/medium sized tracks for a large amount of laps. But when you have to do 25 laps of a tiny circuit in Spain in a car that doesn't particularly sound that nice, it gets pretty boring, especially since the AI are all stupid. By the 3rd lap round i'm 10 seconds ahead of 2nd place, leaving a very boring 23 laps ahead. Maybe I expected too much, I don't know, and it's probably not the amount of laps that annoy me because I love watching and playing Nascar, i'm not sure what it is, I just really didn't think much of it. And don't throw the Nurburgring mod in my face. That's one track and a mod. If I was talking about mods here GTA:SA could be my favourite game because of the "detail of the Toyota Supra and Hamann Gallardo, and the physics of Nomura's ER34". 2.) Gears of War Well, for X360 the controls suck enough, but for PC they're even worse! Ask any long-time PC Gamer who has played a lot of shooting games in their time and they will all tell you shooting games are better played on PC because of easier and more controls accessible and much more accurate aim. This was DEFINETLY not the case for Gears. Then, when bad controls are paired with online play that only support 4 vs 4 and one of the worst storylines ever, it really shoots into my top 5 worst games list. 1.) Oblivion/Two Worlds My 1st place award for my worst game ever goes to 2 games, Oblivion & Two Worlds. Now, I don't like games or films that are set wayy back in time in the first place because I find them slightly boring (No guns + No cars = Cry), but when you make them as big as Oblivion and Two Worlds are, that's when it really gets annoying. First, it is not possible to move ANY slower than your character in Two Worlds. I guess that's the reason they give you achievements for finding new places (just travelling). But when you couple a slow character with a huge map, it's like driving a 60s Vespa around the 24h Nurburgring, it's so un-believably long. Not only that, in Two Worlds there really is nothing to do at all, and in Oblivion there is a lot to do, but there is too much and it's boring. It's like Runescape or World of Warcraft, when there is too much to do and too much space, people get addicted, and next thing you know you're calling in work sick for the next two weeks to play them (a hell of a lot of people were doing that when the PS3 and Oblivion came out). But then, after all that time is wasted and the game is completed, what is there to do? NOTHING. You're just stuck with a slow character in a huge map with no aim. And I know there are a hell of a lot of people who love Oblivion, but I guess that's what's different about me and them, I don't like huge maps that take forever to get across, especially when there's really not much to do when you get there.
  21. It's NFS, you expect realism? I'll still get it but after NFSU2 it went downhill I think. Most Wanted was ok, but the customization was terrible, then they fixed the customization with Carbon but the whole game overall was very bad. Then they kept the good customization and added a lot more cars, but took away free roam and made us make a new car for each class. I think Undercover will give us back something from NFSU2 or Hot Pursuit 2 but take another thing away from us.
  22. Lol, sorry Justin, i didn't see it, so i made this thread :P.
  23. The idea was to create a car that would redefine the boundaries of technology in automotive construction while appealing to the aesthetically inclined and connoisseurs of exceptional automobiles. To design a roadster that would join the boundless creativity of its designers and the superior skill of its engineers – without compromise on either side. A car that would unite the pinnacle of luxury and unparalleled driving performance to a harmonious whole. The idea was to provide maximum enjoyment without losing sight of safety and comfort. The idea was to build the world’s fastest convertible car. Bugatti turned this idea into reality: the super sports car Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport. The Grand Sport defies conventional categories. The superior harmony of its design transcends the ordinary, lending the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport its unique character. The open-topped super sports car displays its power, performance, and self-assertion as a matter of course. Simultaneously, it exudes charisma, perfection, and elegance. In other words: it is a Bugatti that follows the technological and aesthetic examples of Ettore Bugatti’s Grand Sport models of the late 1920s – a true Bugatti. More information is on http://www.bugatti.com/. I just saw this in what I can only tell as being a rich person's magazine called the RobbReport yesterday, and i have to say, i usually hate the Veyron but this looks magnificent. I tried to provide pictures, but my internet is being stupid, so just go on their site.
