Imagine that image is right at the bottom of the page. The blu sky of the image fades into the very light background colour behind the 'quick reply' box. The image I posted sucks though, but shows how the road goes off into the horizon.

I nearly forgot that it was the Porsche Cayenne that won that Fifth gear challenge the other week (even though Tiff screwed up at the start :lol:)

I have an idea after reading the following: Lot's of people - 'we miss the tarmac' Diablo - Theme based on night sky, sunrise, daylight, then night again at the bottom.... thinking of changing the bottom How about at the bottom, you have the earth, with a road going off into the distance? Something a little like this - but a nice high res (low filesize, of course) pic of an Ibizan road:

^ What he said :drool:

Good thing the snow didn't trap you before GT5 was released :) Seriously - does no-one go to work/school in those conditions? I remember last year England appeared on in our news media due to no-one being able to go anywhere. If only you had an Audi Q7 or something :lol:

Just to clarify - I'm pretty sure his modem is also a router. The other router is there purely for the WiFi if I've read the posts right. I also have a 2ndary Linksys router (with the router function disabled) that gives me dual-band Wireless N and gigabit LAN.

I'm using IE8 and 9 beta. It's where the speshul star usually is

How's this... a tad more old-school :p

I think Telstra used Speed-xxxxx before they started using Thomson (perhaps they considered that an upgrade) :) If you are using some form of ADSL I see no reason why you can't use one unit to provide modem and router functions. Of course, knowing the ins and outs of how to configure your modem/router make all the difference in these situations, so that you don't have to rely on the ISP to set it up (and charge you for it). They will say all sorts of lies to cover their backsides, or to make their jobs easier. Only if you've studied IT and Networking yourself can you discern what is and isn't possible. Anyway, back on track. I used to be with iPrimus, then switched to Telstra earlier this year. I went from a Netcomm NB5 to the router they gave us. Multiplayer gaming was then pretty much impossible due to massively high pings over 800ms. After a month or two I bought the newer Netcomm NB6 which is officially supported by Telstra (http://www.netcomm.com.au/products/adsl-broadband - pick whicher NB6 has the extra features (i.e. WiFi, gigabit LAN, etc) for the specs). As soon as I switched, everything was fixed and much faster. It's my belief that the Telstra branded routers (A) allow easy setup for home users that are computer illiterate, and (B) allow Telstra backdoor access and provides a way to throttle traffic perhaps (could be wrong there). Anyway, ummm, back on track (again). As an intermediate possible fix, you can search the Speed-whatever website for new firmware for your modem and possibly also grab new firmware from the Netgear website for your router. Netgear is a good brand, but it's still better to use an all-in-one modem/router device so that security settings are already setup just right from the get-go. This helps prevent intrusions, and/or prevents connectivity issues on your network due to strict security settings.

I'm without a mouse for the moment, so grabbing a pic might have to happen later. Posting so I don't forget :)

Great shots. I might send a friend request your way if I don't forget. :p

Hasn't read the entire thread, but I am Australian :) If your modem/router is a 'Thomson' or 'Telstra' brand, throw it out, and buy something like the Netcomm NB6

Please post feedback here from now on. Thanks

Just press Alt+Left Shift+Print Screen then :lol:

Looks great Diablo... just still getting used to it a bit :)

You need the email that you received when you first purchased the expansion pack. It'll have the link and code to download it. I recommend you keep it somewhere safe in future.

Simple: Buy the game.

Nice Does flickr support sharing the 800x600 versions of the pics?

3rd pic is awesome

I was thinking about while driving instead of looking at still photos. The only time I've noticed awful jaggies is when there's smoke around. Then again, I'm usually in front of the old bangers most of the time anyway (unless I start drifting too much during a race and screw up) :lol:

I didn't know sacked Stig had a Brazillian cousin :)

Desktop wallpaper material right there (1080p versions anyway) :)

I thought you just needed a computer connected to the Internet to check :confused: ;)

Everything is a good start - there's a decent chance there will be updates to things like the course editor. The things you mention only take a little away from what is otherwise loads of fun for me (if you have a wheel - I wouldn't play it much with a gamepad).

lol what a typo to make :lol:
