Welcome back Mike.

3rd one is great.

Nice rig DjDan - quite similar to mine (I have that chair on wheels (the executive one) and the G25. Keep the chair at my desk in my room, and can easily wheel it to the family room and mount the wheel to it.

I never saw it because I was too busy racing :p

pfft, that's nothing. When I went to film my video lap around there I had to restart about 12 times because of all the first corner shenanigans :p

Stupid cats. Mine broke my guitar neck by making it fall a few years ago.

Is this related to me not seeing anyone online yesterday in TDU1?

Yeah I've been laughing at his screw-ups in the WRC this year. I'm not even sure if he's actually finished an event yet without crashing out :lol:

Great video t.

What happened to your car in the 2nd pic? :eek: Someone cut the back off.

...as are the first two and the fourth one

Keep in mind I've loaded new ECU software and fitted a sprint booster pedal adapter (changes accelerator sensitivity) - this was to combat some 'lag' in the go pedal as described on the forums for that car. It's not such a big issue in the 6-speed wet clutch DSG gearboxes as it is in my 7 speed dry-clutch, but then I don't have to pay $1200+ every 60,000kms to get the gearbox oil changed ;) I can easily change to stock at any time (choose ECU program before starting the engine, and can change pedal sensitivity at any time while driving as long as I'm not touching the accelerator). The SprintBooster is awesome in combination with the supercharger (almost instant acceleration even with a soft throttle input on the highest setting). Everyone who reads about these things always says 'just push the throttle in further', but it's something you have to experience to understand. If I got a new car I'd be looking for another ones of these within a week (depending on what car I got). The only people who don't really like these (ironically) are those who drive manual cars, as it messes with their heel'n'toe and the friction point changes.

I learnt in a manual Mitsubishi Starwagon (van) on my L's for 2 years and my first car (for a short time) was a manual 1985 Ford Telstar Ghia 2.0 litre. So yes, I can drive manual, but haven't done so in roughly 5 years since getting the auto Corolla and DSG Golf. I did borrow my brother's manual Hyundai Getz for a week when I was getting some work done on the Corolla a a bit over a year ago as well. If I were to jump into a manual tomorrow, sure I'd probably stall it a couple of times, but would get used to it fairly quickly I'd imagine. Every car is different, etc, etc. Is the DSG perfect? No - because it's a manual with a computer controlled clutch (2 of them), low speed start/stop driving under 20kph can sometimes be jerky, but the only "defensive" speech is just making sure others know it's not a normal automatic with 'tiptronic' selection, like my parents BF Series 2 Ford Falcon, for example. For the most part you get the benefits of manual and the benefits of auto together. I think manual is great for pleasurable driving, but just isn't my favourite option the other 80% of the time. Auto tends to be easier to sell when the time comes as well.

Might have to add a poll to this thread - looks close :lol:

I just love how Diablo has completely ignored this thread so far. I guess he won't make the same mistake as Baldy :D

:oook:

*crickets chirping*

Fixed (by Diablo)

Never got around to getting that game (didn't like the demo and I knew the 2nd game was in the works)

Daaaaance... while the music still goes on, don't think about tomorrow

Looks good. I assume that's rTractor?

Woah - Ben Collins finally found the 'Ben Collins Questionaire' thread on the CARS forum and started answering a few Q's: WMD Forum Here's a taster:

Didn't someone ask for an ABBA song? :p

You read my mind

More expensive (and possibly exclusive (globally)) than the Chevrolet :lol: Number plate ruins the look of the front of it.
