  1. So I guess you've never sat in your SS since then? :lol:
  2. Yeah - you can look at them here: Unknown road to Kings Way/Princes Hwy - Google Maps A to B is the freeway, with 3-4 lanes each way and a 100kph speed limit (except for the city end in the tunnels which is 80kph), and C to D is the highway, with lots of intersections, traffic lights, etc. It's usually 3 lanes wide each side. Leave the metro area and both become two lanes, and the freeway speed increases to 110kph.
  3. Hehe, the freeway was absolutely packed last night, so I went home on the highway (which has traffic lights/intersections - freeways don't). Sure it took a bit longer, but there's more oppurtunities to accelerate quickly which was fun.
  4. They are genuine VW parts, hence the price and the likelyhood that reversing lights won't be any better (Golf R owners have the same complaints about it as the rest of us). I could buy a genuine reversing camera kit for ~$600 but installation is much trickier. I got my car second hand, t. - much cheaper than what the car would cost brand new. A brand new at my spec would've cost around $40,000AUD, whereas the Golf R is getting around for $75,000. I'm not a big fan of loans or credit cards, so I bought mine outright. For me it's not about the price, it's about justifying it. The Premium Bluetooth kit set me back about $400, the MDI about $300, and the sat/nav infotainment system about $1200, but for the additional features it was easy to convince myself that they were worth it. Unsurprisingly, most of you guys like it, which is good. I think the plan will be to wait a couple of months to see how 'common' the LEDs become on the other Golfs, as I think they're now available as options for the lower models starting from the MY11 range. If they're still fairly exclusive then I'll go for them to renew the look of the car. :) The R32 was a 3.2 litre V6, whereas the Golf R has a 2.0 litre TSI engine, for better economy, but still a bit more powerful. The MK6 Interior is a great place to be in as well compared to the MK5.
  5. It's only cute with the voiceover dude in the background. Yeah, shame on me for not knowing (or being bothered to find out on Google) his name :)
  6. Oh well then that's settled it. *buys* :lol: :jk:
  7. I expected to see cars FROM HK, not cars from other places that now reside in HK (no idea what those cars might be), but great shots nonetheless :lol:
  8. As you all probably know (and are sick to death hearing about :p), I have a Golf that looks like this: Some owners have found the new LED tailights that come on the Golf R (top-of-the-line R32 replacement) and have retrofitted them, sharing instructions for all: That's great - installation should be dead easy (considering I've already retroffited the RNS510, Premium Bluetooth, and MDI options), but the problem is that the Ebay site lists them for $700. Maybe at around $300 I'd go for them (even that's a fair bit) but I'm open to your opinions. Firstly, do you even like them, and will they suit my colour car (since the Golf R obviously doesn't come in that shade of blue)?
  9. So you only have to find 2 wrecks like the rest of us then ;)
  10. Hehe, I'd pay $500+ for an accurate-scale Australia DLC. If the physics were good, I'd be on there days at a time. Believe it or not, but cars are usually worse off when they collide with a kangaroo. :)
  11. 'cars jumping' made me think of DiRT3, although I doubt Lee would tweet about that :)
  12. Well in that case I won't ask them to leave the physics exactly the way they are :lol:
  13. Who said you didn't? :dontsteal:
  14. I hope Eden's actions pay off for them (and us). It wouldn't be so bad if their QA department was made up of 51 people :cheeky: Wouldn't a fair few amount of developers be hired as 'contractors' in the sense that both parties knew that their jobs would end after the game was released? Usually redundancies are for permanent staff though.
  15. XFX usually cost moer because they still honor warranty when you overclock/mod the cards to make them perform better. I'm more on the nVidia camp so I'll let someone else help you decide.
  16. I thought most of the TDU1 devs were replaced by new developers anyway around 2007>
  17. Hardcore mode in TDU2 is like having a computer somewhat the opposite of ESP, in that it wants to kill you. Maybe we should call it GlaDOS :p
  18. Apparantly each of the new ones has a identical twin that has a 'K' in it which can be overclocked, whereas the others can't. Just when you thought there weren't enough CPUs to choose from. :rolleyes:
  19. Drive an Audi S5 around Kelekole. It's a constant crash bang wallop of sound effects ;)
  20. Why waste money on two CPU's - wait until you can get the i5.
  21. It was 3 or 6 months I think (not that long), as it came out with the PC version, and was added as DLC for the X360.
  22. Ahh, I forgot that British Cars = Aston Martin only :lol: Voted for robillard
