Taaa daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam. :D

Aye, not too shabby. Got her polished and waxed on Sunday, all covered in flies from being rallied through the country that night though :lol:
 
Here's a pic from the last wax:

knew this day would come, I had so much fun and made many friends. Many thanks to guys who developed and published this game, I know you are probably in a cage or something right now but thanks.

I have over 2000 hours on this game probably it's my most played game ever, like ryzza it made me buy a g25. Also it made me buy a new rig to see the great visuals and made me buy a sound system to hear the engine notes better. I've learned how to drive a manual car in this game, I knew everything before I took my license exam.
So sad to see this one go.
 
 
 
I WAS STILL PLAYING IT DAMMIT.

Here's a series of images comparing the Mk7 (left) to the Mk6 (right). Check AUSmotive for the larger versions.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Mk6 looks more 'handome' (in want of a better word) from the front, Mk7 looks like it's trying to prove something, a bi like the Polo.

Nice Mustang. :)

Currently looking for one of these (although the ones I'm looking that aren't this nice looking):

 
Or, alternatively, one of these:

 
But in the meantime, I'm trying to find beige leather buckets from an RSX to put in the Civic. :)

If you can tell the track from a single on-track pic, I think you'll enjoy the video. ;)

Classic Cruise Night at a local bar on Friday Night

 

 

 
I went for a ride in this

 

 

 

 
And a couple of accidental shots that I liked

 

Quick teaser from today. It was awesome, but I'm exhausted. Video coming in due time.
 

 

 

 

 
The video will be loud. ;)

This is what it looks like when you crash and break your headlights:
 

 

 
Does that answer your question? ;)
 
 

 

 
Actually in that particular race I may have just forgotten to map a control for my headlights :p
 
 
Night racing is very good, easy to get distracted by headlights in your mirrors as I expect would happen in real life.
 
Watch this in HD:
 

Looks like I forgot to post the hillclimb one here. It was posted on Jalopnik, though, so maybe I was caught up in the rush of that. :D Anyway, here's that:
 

 
And here's the final Hemmings show video:
 

 
If everything goes according to plan, a really big one might be coming next week. :)

Well, my parents have okay'd my decision to pursue E28s and E24s, so hopefully a large, old, manual 5er/6er will show up within a reasonable distance soon. :) For now, I'm just enjoying the Civic's new header. :cheeky:
 

 
Stick shift - good man. :) A kid at my school drives a GT-R, but he's pretty boring and, as far as we all know, can't drive manual. It's nice to see a kid who knows how to drive manual by choice.

In the event something like this passes, there will probably be a huge buyout of ECU chips prior to it going into effect. Anything undetectable visually will occur; in the US, catless vehicles are banned, but I personally know a plenty of people who run catless, and plenty of shops that certify them.
 

 
It does matter - that's the whole issue. There's a reason the types of modifications in question are called "aftermarket" parts; you buy them post-purchase, after the market. If Mercedes sells an AMG car to its first owner, that car is stock. In other words, it is as it came from the factory. Once the owner chips it, gets bigger wheels, lowers it, etc., then it becomes after market.
 
Shelby's the same deal in America. You can walk into a Ford dealer and ask for a 650 horsepower, 200-mph GT500, and Ford will sell it to you with a warranty, even though it's build differently than the normal Mustang.
 
Here's the kicker, though: the reason they don't count as modified cars is because they have to pass the same crash tests, the same emissions tests, and the same miscellaneous certifications as any other model in the range (or, at the very least, they are deemed similar enough by the government to have lesser models satisfy that requirement).
 
Yes, they are modified, but so is a Civic hybrid. What they aren't is aftermarket.

I saw this.
 

I've just found out that the slogan in that video ^ is a bit of a retaliation to Codies when they said they've pulled out cockpit cameras in GRID 2 because 95% of people don't use them. Makes a bit more sense now :)

Anyways.
