GTAMADDOG

Oh yes, it's hard to beat the noise of a MKII Escort being ragged. Great shots.

Entries are looking great so far ;)

I built them on Trackmania Nations during long breaks and lunch times at college, they're easy enough to build from my point of view until I try and line jumps up correctly at the right height and long enough so people can actually make the jump, lol. I might have a go at making one on Trackmania United Forever later.

Mafia 2: Jimmy's Vendetta. Good job it's only £6.30, really. I swear I had only just started playing it and I went into the Statistics section and it said I'd already completed 23% of it.

Textures can be anything really; Fabric, leather, grass, brick-work, wood-work, tarmac or even a whole row of different coloured houses for all I care. As Mojo said, it's how you want to interpret the theme really. I'll enter this for now: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/3.jpg

My latest attempt at getting away from my br00tal Metal obsession.

I'd love to see more of the Q7. That would be the highlight of my week.

A resize is all I'll generally do unless I feel an image would look better cropped or if it's a bit washed out I'll up the contrast. Nice photo.

I actually read three lines and then decided to leave the rest before I read your post t. I was more amused by the picture, I'll read the text in three-line bites as my day goes on. My mind cannot comprehend this much text without an adaquate image:text ratio.

Pancakes. Loldates.

ONE POUND INCREASE? Are they insane? They've lost another sale. I was half way towards getting an Xbox 360 Slim but I'll spend my money on 1p sweets instead now. No, seriously.

Green Ford, you say? http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/P1010881.jpg Spotted at the rally on Sunday. Also saw/was in a Subaru Impreza STI PPP but that's the usual transport to and from rallies.

Some more from the rally. No MK2 Escorts this time.. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/P1010783.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/P1010830.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/P1010820.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/P1010955.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/P1010945.jpg

I'm personally enjoying it, still no where near to completing it. I never planned on racing through it like everyone else. I use the time when I should be going to a mission as the Free-Ride time. Even if there was a Free-Ride mode it'd be no different to what the game is like during the missions so I don't see why people complain about it so much. There's a modification out anyway which adds Free-Ride called "Costa's Free-Ride Mod" or something. I've downloaded it but I'm waiting to complete the game before I bother with it. I don't really see how it's any poorer than most of the games which are released these days.

I'm the new Stig. I've already been hired for the job and my driving abilities surpass the old Stig's driving abilities. I have now been fired. Michael Schumacher, maybe.

I've also been to a motorsport event. The EventSigns Mewla Rally at Epynt in Wales. Here's some Ford Escort MK2 photo spamming: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/P1010849.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/P1010807.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/P1010801.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/P1010904.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/P1010801.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/P1010905.jpg There was loads of crap on my camera lense from where the weather decided to rain then dry out and then rain again all morning so I didn't get any spectacular shots thanks to rain-drops.

I might as well enter a screenshot of a game which doesn't involve vehicles for a change some time soon.. I think I have a few games I could use.

It's down to personal preference really. But, the cars which are common are generally the better cars which is the case with the Golf apart from it being on the dull side. People buy it because of it's reviews and what other people say and tend not to bother looking at anything else. Why people buy Vauxhall Astras and Ford Focuses I'll never know. Having sat in both I felt like I was sat in something which was being mass produced in the same factory as a Hyundai. I was under the impression from things I've heard about the Ford Focus that it was a much better car than it used to be, but interior quality was pretty shocking in my opinion. I know it's the better car to drive but I'd sooner kill my self after being surrounded by the plastics used in it. It even cost more than the exact equivilent Golf that we were looking at - by £2000. Rediculous. Don't get me wrong the Fiat Punto and Mazda 3 are good cars but I'll always be a snob and turn my nose up at them (Weird seeing as I like Skoda so much :p) because I was brought up around Golfs and from my experience with them, nothing in the same class comes close. The old MKIII Golf GTI my mum's parter has which now has 170,000 miles on it doesn't have a single rattle and that's no word of a lie. I actually spent 20 minutes while I was in it the other weekend listening for them and there was nothing. It's not the most looked after car either. Apart from the normal consumables it's been one of the most reliable cars I've ever come across. I know from personal experience that most brands just cannot make a car that good. Our Alfa has rattles in it already and it's done no more than 1,300 miles. My uncle's '07 Mondeo is falling to pieces around him, too. My family generally goes by the old saying "Better the devil you know" which up until now has proven to be the right way of going about things. I got the news yesterday that my mum is getting her new car on Tuesday at 11am and I'm going with her to get it.

Bah, I might as well be the first to post a few shots of Mafia 2 seeing as I raved about it so much.. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/M28.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/M25.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/M26.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/M23.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/M22.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/M24.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/M27.jpg Really enjoying it so far, I'm loving throwing old cars about in the snow, there's a great sense of atmosphere and it actually looks cold. There's been a few occasions where I've wondered how I died during a mission but I guess someone luckily shot me in the head. The lack of Free-Ride like you had in the original is kind of annoying although you could probably treat the unlimited time you get between going to the next mission as your Free-Ride time. I also got to play it briefly before it was officially released in Europe thanks to the method mentioned earlier. I got one achievement then decided to go to bed because I could hardly see anything :p

I've already seen someone mentioned that link and I tried it but I can't physically see Mafia 2 downloading in the Steam Games list, whether it is or not I don't know. There are some files and folders in the Steam/steamApps/Common/Mafia ii folder but not many. I'll asume it is downloading but I don't think I'll get chance to play it anyway, I'm going out at 1:30pm and wont be back until 9pm :-x

Mafia 2 popped through my door about 30 minutes ago but thanks to Steam I can't install or play it yet because the official release date for Europe is tomorrow. I might try and find a workaround for it. I'm not sitting here all day with the Mafia 2 case staring at me in the face. It'll be Hell.

Lol. I've got too used to watching my dad over take everything in the Skoda I think. He can leave it in 6th every where and lightly touch the accelerator and quickly overtake quite a number of cars. The people behind get smoked out quite a bit but it isn't fun if they don't get smoked out :p I guess I shouldn't expect the same kind of results in a car which basically has half the power of the Skoda.

I've only seen a black and white one but I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to Photoshop some colour into it. Here's a link to the image in it's original state: http://i.imgur.com/jYshZ.jpg
