GTAMADDOG

Oh, Hell yes. I used to spam that song on Counter Strike when one of my friends set up his own server. Everyone knew what was coming when they heard "I wanna Rock!". Haha.

I also ended up going out for a drive, didn't get any photographs of the car, though. Seems like I'm only decent at macro-ing today. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Other%20Real%20Life/P1000993.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Other%20Real%20Life/P1000981.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Other%20Real%20Life/P1000998.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Other%20Real%20Life/P1010001.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Other%20Real%20Life/P1010002.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Other%20Real%20Life/P1010004.jpg

It's a bit sunneh to say the least. But being lazy old me I only ventured into my back garden to bring you more boring pictures of weeds/flowers. Hurrrr.. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Other%20Real%20Life/P1000971.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Other%20Real%20Life/P1000972.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Other%20Real%20Life/P1000973.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Other%20Real%20Life/P1000974.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Other%20Real%20Life/P1000976.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Other%20Real%20Life/P1000975.jpg I now has Photoshop, but all I did was resize/crop them.

Decent idea. The idea of it adding more traction for road users hasn't worked around here. We have loads of the stuff and accidents still happen in the same place. Maybe some people around here are idiots who push their luck too far, though.

I saw this on the OCUK forums last week. They completely mocked the guy right from the moment they saw he had a Vauxhall. I've always told myself I'll go to the 'Ring when I've finally passed my driving test which will hopefully be before the end of this year. I don't think the 306 will be up to it, though. I'll probably end up going when I've bought the Skoda off my dad and have put some anti-roll bars on it. I was hoping Mistermojo and/or TehReaper would drive down with me in their cars, too.

I never get selected for Closed Beta's. Don't let it be one :(

Oh crap, I completely forgot about this? When is the closing date for entries? I thought it was the 16th. I still only have GRID installed. What can I install that isn't CS or Call of Duty. Bah! *raids drawers for game* Oh hurrrr durrr. Found this screenshot I took from a bizzle back when I still allowed myself to play Counter Strike. Couldn't do anything besides resize it because I still don't have Photoshop. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Random/44430406-4.jpg Unless I'm too late to enter..

A catastrophic fail on behalf of AVG meant that I had to re-install Windows 7 because my PC got injected with 28,000 trojans and stuff, hence: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/desktop.jpg *sigh* Yeh, I know it's an old screenshot but that's what it looks like, again.

If I remember correctly when the light starts off flashing but then stops on solidly after a while it could be the seat belt pretensioners. I'm not sure, I'll have to combe over a few of the threads on Pug306.net again.

Haven't heard of Ceramizer, sounds decent but I'll leave it for now. The MOT on mine runs out next month which I can already tell will be a barrel of laughs. Gave the car a quick check over today, just needed to top it up with washer bottle fluid. Had the front passenger seat out today to sort out the airbag wiring. Put it all back together and no more flashing air bag light so I'll see how it goes.

Lol, nice pictures. Shame half of these cars are cars I have never seen before. the SR8 and Mosler are the only ones which I recognise on this page anyway.

I might respray them if I end up going off the colour the car came with out of the dealership, that is all. I might do a Rat-Look VW Golf depending on what customising features the game has.

All of these are crap phone photos so don't expect awesomecakesness. Started off the day by seeing this Golf GTI Hover Edition: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Cars2/Photo0624.jpg Then this SL55 AMG, or so it said on the back, wheels and exhaust were also AMG (crap photo): http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Cars2/Photo0619.jpg Then went down to a friend's workshop to sort out the new suspension for the Golf to find these waiting to be restored: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Cars2/Photo0626.jpg (Two Mercedes and a Riley RMA) 250 SE: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Cars2/Photo0625.jpg And this 230SL being restored, currently having the bodywork sorted out: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Cars2/Photo0628.jpg Mercedes 2.3 litre engine: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Cars2/Photo0630.jpg To-do list: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/Cars2/Photo0627.jpg There was also a pristine Citroen DS in another part of the workshop which I didn't get a picture of.

The CPU wont run GTA IV without seriously reducing the gameplay value. Simple as that. I know it says 1.8GHz is fine on the back of the box but that's absolute rubbish. If they'd ported the game properly in the first place, then maybe. But as said, get a quad core in one form or another and you should be fine. Although, saying that, GTA IV on PC is a difficult game to judge computer specifications for. I've seen people with Core i7s and GTX 295s having problems with the FPS in GTA IV, I get OK FPS on GTA IV on my E8400/8800GT, it's around the 25-45fps mark most of the time with most of the graphics options relatively high. I think it's just luck of the draw with that game whether a person's PC will run it correctly or not. You may be fine with Test Drive Unlimited 2, it's hard to tell. But, looking at Test Drive Unlimited 1s minimum requirements and then assuming the graphics have been improved a bit for TDU2 you might just be alright. Although I'd say a CPU and graphics card upgrade would future-proof your system and allow you to run games better instead of hoping every new game has low enough system requirements.

I completely forgot about this week's competition, I was going to enter it after all. But never mind.

I tried this a couple of months ago, also on stock cooling. The overclock didn't like Supreme Commander but was fine with every other game. I don't recall my temperatures being that high but they should be OK. For piece of mind you may want to get an aftermarket cooler though. The 3-3.6GHz overclock isn't anything to worry about with the E8400, or so I've heard, hence why I tried it. It's also a popular one. You've also got the E0 stepping version so you may be able to push it a bit further without a problem, but I wouldn't bother without a change to the cooling system. I'm back on 3GHz now because I want my processor to last, I know overclocking doesn't phase processors that much but I just felt it was an overall safer bet to return it to stock speeds. In all honestly I hardly noticed a difference in FPS on games so it wasn't really much of a loss for me.

Just shows a lack of imagination and willingness in my opinion if people can only be bothered to enter Forza entries when the theme allows. I still haven't got around to installing a game yet, besides GRID. I still have a few days yet.

A mundane Mondeo judging by his post. Rep-Mobile R Us.

Eh, I'm not too bothered. It's only a game, I'll probably end up giving most cars a bit of stick off-road even if they're super-cars. I did it in TDU1 and I'll do the same in TDU2. It doesn't matter if it has four wheel drive or rear wheel drive, it's going off road.

I'm a bit bored of seeing the Q7 in screenshots too, but it's still the car I can see myself driving the most when I'm not racing, for now. Until they finally show us some new automacars.

Joined the group, my name is GTAMADDOG. I haven't used FlickR in a while but when the blue-bell flowers finally decide to flower around here I'll get some snaps, although there are some on my FlickR already.

Here's a little WIP Project I'm doing on a free game called Minecraft. Seriously, don't go on it, it may look simple but it's stupidly addictive. I don't have Photoshop to crop images and resize any more so I used MS Paint and it seriously reduced some of the textures and colours in the images. Not that the game is exactly Crysis or anything. Yes I am aware that I'm a clot and I've mucked up the front of the house, but that's all part of a WIP project I guess. Front of the 'house': http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/mc1.jpg Car Park/Drive-Way: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/mc2.jpg First Floor: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/mc3.jpg Second Floor: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/mc4.jpg Third Floor/'Attic': http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/mc5.jpg Rear Garden: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/mc6.jpg Rear of 'house': http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/mc7.jpg Bridge infront of the 'house': http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/mc8.jpg Mini-Docks for a boat I haven't built yet: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/mc9.jpg Yeh, so the idea in the mode I was in, is to build things. I've done all of this since I got home. I have too much time on my hands.

Admittedly I don't have an iPod Touch but I have an 80GB iPod Classic and it's Hell trying to use all the space, even with over 10 movies and all of my music on it. Unless you're music fanatical go for the 32GB version at most.
