Car Spotting: What You Saw Recently!
calster17 replied to The Queen's topic in Automotive Discussion
Nothing special kicking about thanks to the snow and -10 temptures! So though i'd post my Car, not exactly a exotic but it still turns heads thanks to it's 80's styleings! http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z23/calster-17/The%20MR2/DSC01352.jpg May not look like much snow, but i cleared it the night before and there was no point really, and there was a 1Cm Lair of ice below the snow!! Also the Cooling systems are still frozen over(Lets say i forgot why the system was drained out and put water in with no anti-freeze) And the car still need a new thermostat! And We cant put it in the garage, as it fully of box's right now! But we'll get the car up and running again soon!:cool: -
gran turismo 5 Calsters GT5 Challenges!
calster17 replied to calster17's topic in Driving & Racing Games
Well as the Holidays near and If theres enough people, i we could do day time challenges! :cool: -
If I had Sevral Million, Simples! A Suzuki Cappuccino & Autozam AZ-, Tuned to give 911's & M3's a run for there money! Getting our MR2 Up to Showroom condition. 7 other cars, SLS AMG to Caterham...a car from each 'class'(Why have a SLS & a SLR for example, or a Caterham & an Atom!) A nice House in just outside the town where i live with room for the countless cars. Also make a copy of the Tsukuba Circuit not far from it! Give some of it to my family, and buy them a car they like! Get my mates a car worth up to 50K each! Thats for starters! If i wanted to go a bit nuts, i guess i'd get a bunch of top drivers & Millionairs and say "Right, Play NFS Hot Pursuit and you'll get my idea! But in the North East of Scotland", Then give the police money to buy cars to rival them! :cool: But as i said, a bit far un-real that would be...and not exactly safe really. There is! I'll have to see it as were going down there For a weekend soon! I Still dont understand why there's nothing like that up in Aberdeen...i mean our Merc Dealer doesn't even have an SLS! And considering Aberdeen is the 'oil Capital of Europe', Theres some real rich guys here!(including a Veyron owner)

calster17 replied to calster17's topic in Driving & Racing Games
Nice to see some people are up for this! There will also be a few people from my PSN list joining as well, and dont worry there not rammers(picked them because of that reason). Also for timings, It'll probs be between 7PM & 9PM, i cant say n exact time right now i'm afrade as i'm currently between houses as we get the cooker sorted out in the new place(yeh, i'm having my dinner at another house then head round to my new one!). But i'll keep you guys updated on that! Also reguarding tracks, I'll be a mix. I'm thinking of doing 3/5 depending on what cars are beeing used. So for this one comming up, i'll do 4!The tracks i'll pick at the time but i'll have a range! and even put it to vote once or twice! And I think i'll do what 'Ryzza', suggested! But we could do that for another Thread! The 'TDUC GT5 Time Attack Challenge'? Also a Reminder of the challenge this comming Friday the 10th!... ------- Info=- The Car: Nissan MM-R Cup Car 01 - To get this car, you you get it from compleating the A license! Tuned or not: No tuneing, not even tires!(Car comes with Race tires), but Feel fre to change the colour of the car ---------- P.s= I said originally Friday the 11th, i ment to put the 10th...as the 11th is saturday! Sorry for any inconvincense! -
This is an idea I've had for a while now, and i've mentioned it on a few other threads, so now its time to bring it to life! So What is the 'Challenges'? Well its Simple, For example the challenge may be a 'Kei Car Challenge' and the aim is to buy a kei car for under 20K and the remainder of the cash is for upgrad or whatever!(this is where we have to trust each other, as theres of easy way to find out what was spent and totoal cost). Once we meet on the date & time agreed(This will be by Uk times i'm afrade) then we will race them on diffrent tracks and conditions! And the winner is the person who wins! Simples! What i descrobed is't the challenge for this week, but will be a later one! So Heres the Challenge for Friday the 10th of December! ------- Info=- The Car: Nissan MM-R Cup Car 01 - To get this car, you you get it from compleating the A license! Tuned or not: No tuneing, not even tires!(Car comes with Race tires), but Feel fre to change the colour of the car!:cool: -------- I'll be hosting this on 'My Louge', so if you havent added me, my username is Calster17 Also there will be 5 races of diffrent lap's to suit the track, and we will do 'free run' before the race! At the Moment there will be no Prize, but future events MAY include them! So if your intrested Say! :cool:

Noting really kicking about up in Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire thanks to all the snow we got in the past few days....did managed to catch a glimps of a 911 GT3 RS parked in someones graged but thats about it! And Help push some guy in a C63 AMG out of snow! But We have a ford transit at the moment to move all our stuff to our new place. The roads are really bad in some places and it doesn't help its iced over under the snow! We were driving comming to a downhill corner and we started to Skid, so we managed to catch it and drift....Really epic as its not what you'd expect! Also what made it even better was seeing a BMW X5 at the bottom that had been left off the road! So much for beeing 'real off-roaders'! made me smile!:D We were planning on useing the MR2, but its still got some problems reguarding the cooling system(A Bust thermostat me thinks) and it diddent help that in the summer we bled out the system and re-filled it with only water and no anti-freeze....well to say the least we've had the MR out of the graage for the past week and all this snow and low freezing temptures hias kinda made sure we wont be useing it for a while... *Sorry for off-topicness...started wrighting and well, cant be bothered to delate it! -

Totally loving the game I am!:D Thing is, I'm spending my money alot on 'Rubbish' cars! I say Rubbish as most people say they are! But i think i've spent at least 100K on my Suzuki Cappuccino! No joke and i'm not quite finnished with it!(130Bhp and a top speed of 150Mhp...although not streached the gears to the max, doing so tonight and getting slipstream aid!). I also have a host of projects, Including an Autozam AZ1! :cheeky: Also Not all my cars Are JDM stuff...i have a Merc C63 AMG for starters, and the chromeline cars! If anyones wants to add me, The username is: Calster17 Also i'll post some pic's up soon, mostly of my 'projects' and stuff so epic! I have to say, the privat online is pritty epic! You can open up a 'lounge' and have a free run! me and mates have spent an hour and a half just change tracks and tinkering with stuff on that mode and not even racing! Also a reminder to everone who had GT PSP, you can transfer up to 50 cars from it to use on Arcade mode! :cheeky: Also keep look out, as i'll be doing Challenges and championships soon! Would do them now but i'm in the middle of moving houses right now! -
Caterham R500 = Epic! I just hope you'll be able to buy helmets for when driving a road car...I've stuck me head out a T-Bar roof at 60 and got hit by a fly or somthing and it reall hurt! So if your doing 200Mph in the SLR Moss edtion....same for the R500 as well!

*Heres about UK pre-order stuff* *Looks at the list* *Sees Caterham* *Wrights down to remind self to pre-order from Amazon once i've properly moved into new house* Well thats me sorted!:D

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit by Criterion
calster17 replied to Rai06's topic in Driving & Racing Games
Cheers! :thumbsup: I'll cheack on the Laptop later! Also thankfully someone else think the racer icon looks like a Countach! A 80's DLC pack? Need to get Ferrari on board so first so there can be a Countach, Tesstrossa & the 959 in one pack! -
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit by Criterion
calster17 replied to Rai06's topic in Driving & Racing Games
Been playing the Game Since i got it on Thursday...and i'm Loving it! The Level of Detile is epic! Even have the 'cats eyes' on the road and go off if theres no lights, even the reverse lights lit up a bit of what was behind me when it was pitch black and i had stopped! Can always count on Criterion to have detile in the game! Also anyone know how to get your ingme pic's off the consle? I'm guessing you have to sign in to the 'my NFS' account thing to view them like with past NFS games? Also, if anyone else on the PS3 want to add me, it's : Calster17 Also, People talking of DLC, i think i've found where they may add in the future! If anyone played Burnout PAradise, they'll know that there was a Bridge at the end of 4th Street....well on Hot Pursuit, Theres roadworks and a bridge beeing built when driving on 'East Gorge Freeway'......Can easly asd new roads....also theres plenty of space on the existing map! It depends on how long EA will let them work on it! MAy not want next years NFS by BlackBox to be overshowed by the last game if DLC is still comming out! Also for DLC cars...a 90's pack i think! Diablo, CLK-GTR, EB110, XJ220 and the 911 GT1? Just a though! -

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit by Criterion
calster17 replied to Rai06's topic in Driving & Racing Games
Hopefull the Dr.Pepper thing is a US only, and else where the cars are for everyone? Personally I would mind that, and it is possable!(Outrun Online arcade was't sold on PSn in the US because Xbox got the rights for there, yet everywhere else got it!) So fingers crossed on that one! I beleave that its a Pre-Order only...but dont quote me on it! But If you havent ordered it yet and thinking about it, I found most places had both edtions for the same price!(although keep in mind i'm in the UK) -
My day has overall been good, just for about 30 mins it was bad though! Was driving From Ballater, threw Bremar and to glenshee. Its a nice road and challenging at parts. My dad doesn't mind leting me drive on it as theres not too many cars. It was fine untill we got to the glenshee Ski center. Theres alot of snow up there(For this time of year in Scotland) and that was the reason we were there, for some winter walking to get us fit for Skiing! Anyways, I go to park in the carpark which had lots of snow and ice on it, along with the fact the carpark is in bad condition with holes and whatnot. I came in to park the car and turned a bit late and went into a big, car sized, hole and got the car stuck!:ill: not a good thing to do in a FWD! After about 30 mins of pushing, pulling and trying to dig up snow & ice, thankfuklly another walker who had pulled in to the carpark seen we were stuck and offered to toe use out! And i now like Ford Kugas more than i did! As i said nothing Hugely bad but at the time i was panicing! But my dad saw the funny side and now is just going to use that as a reminder when i'm older whenever i say i'm a good driver!

So with that in mind, I'll be hoping to make some Nice Touge tracks!:cool: -

LOL, I love useing that pic ever since i made that picture!:D Although I should see if the Quote function on this fourm works when useing my PS3! =- Though i'd point out, that The Dr Pepper cars Can still be gotten on the PS3! A quick serch on the net showed this link(i found it on a random Fourm) and that pre-ordering the game from some places you can get them! For example this place gives you the Dodge Viper & Porsche Cayman for the PS3! Also theres a chance that the PS3 & PC may also get some 'Racer Exclusive' cars, as on another fourm someone pointed out that some cars on the official list were showen to be Cop & Racer cars, but then changed to Cop only!(I seen that myself a few times, the Reveonton beeing one), also some cars that are 'cop' only haven been showen in pics in just plane colours! And looking at the Jag XKR, it says that... *USeing a Laptop for this so i can quote! Yet the pic it shows on the official site for the Racer edtion of the XKR is a hardtop!:confused: So By the looks of things the Dr.Pepper cars will be on the Disk for all systems! But Maybe unlocked in diffrent ways? Or the Xbox/Dr Pepper deal is just an exclusive for so long deal? Answers on a post car please!:eek: -
I'm not saying the fact the Porsches are based on Beetls should change your opinion...though i'd just bring it up! Personally I 'd like SOME old and rubbish cars...but 2 maybe 3 are enough! Or even as DLC! But i have Gran Turismo pratting about in old rubbish cars!:D Do keep in mind that i find the Suzuki Cappuccino Very nice car!:cheeky: lol

Quit Slagging off the original Beetle! As heres a litt fact: To everyone moneing about no Porsche on the game, The Original Beetle was Designed by Ferdinand Porsche, The founder of the Porsche that we all love(or love to hate depending on your view). The Original Porsches, the 356 being the First Porsche, which was used the beetle as a starting point! It only really had more power and a slightly diffrent body!(rear engined, Rear-wheel drive thay both are!) Though i'd mention that! Also the Original Beetle would be nice for me, we just need to get the Original Mini & Fiat 500 and we have the Iconic cars for France, Germany, UK and Italy!:D Slow they maybe, but it'll be somthing fuynny in the game! Or they will be 'Sleeper' cars, They look like the originals but Atari have given them Some stupid stats....like 170Mph Top speed and 0-60 in 4 seconds? But i'll admit, for a car for finding the wreaks, Somthing along the lines of a Caterham would have worked? Take parts from the diffrent cars to make a kit-car?

Though i'd say this as i only just descovered it, but Us PS3 & PC users are missing out on the Racer Edtions of 4 cars "The Racer versionof the Dodge Viper SRT-10, Nissan 370Z Coupe, Porsche Cayman S and Porsche Panamera Turbo are available through a promotion with Dr. Pepper and are Xbox 360 only" -=Would use the quote but useing PS3 Hopefully we'll get them later on, but its annoying to know that were not getting them(as a racer). Still the only one of them cars i would of maybe used was the Panamara, but i'll still get it in police trim! -

I do wish everyone would stop complaining about the List(I'm just meaning overall on the Web). I'v always liked the GT games because they had all the cars that we actually have a chance of owning!(alot of the cars On the list i know people who own, or owned one). Any game these days can get an all star line up of cars in there game, and Personally i'm a fan of cheap 'everyday' cars(i say 'everyday', as theres more chance of seeing a Skyline R34 than a Murci SV). And the fact you could tune the cars up...and the Tuneing was good compaired to other games as it actually told you what the part was, what it did and all that to the point where it's actually helped me at collage! Ok, theres no Koenisegg and the Veyron is't a Preamuim car. How do you think i Feel that the Daihatsu Cuore TR-XX Avanzato is a standered car? Or the Nissan Staga is as well or the fact that I can't get a cockpit view of the AW11 MR2(I could't care if it was, as i have the real thing though). Although i'll admit That They always do go a bit overboard with the Skylines, Evo's, Impreza's and all the other Japanese Sports cars! Anways, I'll see yous on the track in my Capuccino!:cool: -
Seing the car list on the German website, seems like its just a case of "Ok, Cars that have been confermed, and some random ones and some from TDU2"...as the VW Beetle, 2CV.....The current beetle is a Mk4 Golf under the body and the 2CV? I was in the files for TDU if i rember but thats about it! On the other hand, it does have the Sagaris but no Tuscan...and the Evoras missing along with a few others from screenshots!

Just though i'd say, but Kazunori Yamauchi confirms that GT5’s release date is “about to be announced”. I'm guessing Last week of November/1st Week of December(Monday the 29th Nov to Friday the 3rd of December) Heres hoping!:rolleyes: -
Ways to get Calster Happy: 1) Mention Caterham beeing in TDU2 2) On the same website include a pic of the SLR Moss edtion Yep, i'm that easy to impress at times!:bgroove: I loved useing the Caterham in the first game, so its time to fire it up again in the second one! Also seeing Citroen, Heres hoping that the DS3 will be in! As it's aimed at the MiTo! unless it was the GT by Citroen...but considering that Gran Turismo helped making the car, thats highly unlikly! But we need a few hot hatches in the game, as Thats whats diffrent about Europe than the US!
