My real name is Sean.

Although you could probably find that out just as easilly by going to my profile...if I've filled everything in right.

Classic Mk II (?) GTi, is it yours or a mates or something? Nice car all the same.

Its my dads. He likes his Hot Hatches.

Wish it was mine and I had a driving license though :sulk:

You totally copied my pic!!!!

Lol?

I haven't even seen your picture until now.

Ahwell, the Golf isnt made by Ford. Neither does it look anything like your car.

Lol sports day was great for me.

I got entered for the long jump and 100 metre sprint race. I knew I was gonna fail so I didnt even bother trying in the long jump and I just didn't turn up for the 100 metre sprint. No-one seemed that bothered either. My tutor failed at everything so it was nothing new :D

Right, here is me at long last. The picture was taken yesterday just before we left the BugJam Festival.

Don't mock me, I was dropped on my head as a child :D

There have been sightings of the Google Earth car in Glasgow and Edinburgh so they should be doing the UK on maps soon ;)

Yeh I read in Auto Express that they were driving around Swansea. There was a picture next to the artical of a Opel Astra with shed loads of cameras stuck to its roof driving down a road.

I also read about it in the Web User magazine about people worrying about privacy. Google apparently said they'd go through photos making sure to blur out peoples faces when neccessary to keep within the privacy laws.

First time I've posted in this topic. Sure some of you will like these pictures - Atleast the cars in them, anyway. These are resized, the originals were too big for the forums. Admittedly it was a track day but I did see them :)

Midtown Madness <3

 

:D

That game was excellent in the days of Zone.com. I used to come home from school every day find a new mod to download and install then I'd spend all evening online. Shame I was on dialup internet in those days, I always had to disconnect and reconnect before I'd been on for a full hour to apparently keep down the cost of me being online all the time.

Midtown Madness 2 had some great downloads. Had to love the Mustang GT with NOS which was capable of an insane speed of something like 1300MPH. Before I had downloaded it all I saw were a load of red Mini's flying around at 1000MPH. It made me laugh every time.

Hey, man!

Welcome and thanks for adding me on Xfire.

I'll go for a cruise with you when I get all my games back on my PC. Just reformatted.

Hmmm,

I shall try getting a shotograph of me in the next day or two.

The last picture I remember being taken of me was well over a year ago.

Either that or I'm losing my memory.

I hope it doesnt take them long to do the UK.

I'd love to see what car is parked outside my house. On standard Google Maps my dads old banger is parked outside the house, that car was scrapped almost three years ago.

I'd also like to be around when the car drives past so I can make naughty hand gestures. Not like they'd stand out clearly judging from the quality I've seen in some places.

Please don't do this, lol.

I'm annoyed enough that I don't already have that game.

Love the first picture.

Hmmm, seriously considering buying this game. Especially once I find my ancient Microsoft Joystick which I don't think I've used since 2001.

The 15GB HDD useage will be a laugh. That will take me down to 50GB. I've always vowed that I'd keep 100GB spare to keep absolutely nothing in.

Hmmm, I only ever remember seeing the third and last cover when I was buying Test Drive Unlimited. I have the third one.

Can't say I'm that bothered. I'm more insterested in whats inside of the box, if I'm honest.

dude, thats like EXACTLY the same as the one i was going to use, but my Shelbs is red and its a different angle sorta, i took my pic before i saw yours btw ;)

 

Chillax.

It doesnt matter. I'm gonna change it sometime today if not tomorrow.

I'm not happy with the quality of my current entry. I'm struggling with this game at the moment, it refuses to run at a decent frame rate while at max settings, and at max settings it seems a bit rough around the edges. I've done a de-frag so I'll probably end up re-installing it.

First week I'm entering this.

I've also used the Ford garage but a different classic car.

I have three pictures so far but this is the one I like best so far. May change later.

EDIT:

Withdrawing from this weeks. Sorry.

I'm going a bit Punkey this week.

Sheer Terror - Just Can't Hate Enough.

Shut up PUNK!

Some of you may recognise it from GTA IV - L.C.H.C Forever.

Cannon Powershot A710IS.

Cheap(ish) and cheerful, I guess.

Hmmm. Heres my new one. Sorry, I'm a sucker for Golf GTI's.

Excellent pictures.

I love the angles you have used on some of the pictures.

Oh, and I especially like the first picture of the F430. Those water effects look great.

Good luck Mb. Should be fine aslong as you get some revision in. Being nervous about exams is what causes some people to bum out in the exams. Not sure if I should really say that in this situation, but its the truth, stay calm about it all, you don't want to be going into the exam worrying about it.

I've had exams the past six weeks, my GCSEs to be exact. Yet, despite their importance I've revised more than I normally would have done (obviously), then when it gets to the exam I walk in thinking "I know all of this, two hours and I can be back at home on GTA or CS" I might not know all of what is in the exam but it saves me from forgetting the rest of it when I need to answer it. Its a strange method, but it works, for me atleast.

I've got my last exam on Tuesday aswell and strangely enough, its Maths aswell. Its also a resit so I need to get this right otherwise I'm completely stuffed.

Can't stop listening to this, no video but you can listen to the song.

Not for people who don't like Metal, Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake:

Also, something different-ish, Metallica - Nothing Else Matters:

Is suicide an option?

Lol, I thought of something along the same lines when I saw the two pictures. But seeing as I have to choose, I'd say the Escort RS.

Any Ford that I've been in that was made before 1990 has always seemed to break down, and thats more than once.

Skoda. Underneath it's the same as the Golf GTI. But oh, whats this, it costs a few grand less.

Strange seeing as I love Golf's to hell and back that I'd choose another car over one.

I have alot of cars I'd love to own. Realisticly and unrealisticly.

For a first car I'd love to be able to own a Mini (old shape). And if need be, buy some official parts for it to make it look like a Cooper. Or, the same idea but with a VW Golf to make it look like a GTI. Because, realisticly do you expect me to be able to afford top spec cars at the age of 17 or 18, despite their size. I did an insurance quote on a VW Golf GTI 8v (MK2), it came back at £3850. So I think I can forget about that.

A little later on in the future, realisticly I know I'm not going to get anywhere near to a supercar so, mock me all you want, but I'd love a Fabia VRS or Octavia VRS, with a few mods here and there. I'd love to own a Fabia VRS with 250-300BHP, same for the Octavia (Easilly possible, no joke). No body mods, just so I can suprise the hell out of the next person who thinks badly of Skoda's.

If you don't believe me on those BHP figures, look at this video:

If I do better than that, then I may be after an Audi RS4 or something similar.
