Sponge

Hey fellas. Went to the Hoylake lifeboat open day today with my mum. Grabbed a lot of pics as you may well see. Unfortunately, though, the weather went British on us and the Red Arrows (RAF equivalent to the Blue Angels) had to be called off half way though. I had a couple more spaces on the card for some pics, so I resorted to car snaps :D Anyways, here goes! Train there: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/GEDC0041.jpg Hovercraft coming to see us (The very same hovercraft that ran me over on it's first outing) http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/GEDC0046.jpg Audi RS4 Avant :D http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/GEDC0047.jpg Closeups of the Hovercraft: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/GEDC0048.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/GEDC0049.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/GEDC0050.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/GEDC0051.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/GEDC0052.jpg And one when the Hovercraft took off (literally!) Threw me off my balance! http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/GEDC0053.jpg Red 10 (Safety marshall of the Red Arrows) http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/GEDC0054.jpg Two pics of the Red Arrows (Before it went uh... head over heels) http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/GEDC0064.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/GEDC0066.jpg BMW 528i Sport: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/GEDC0071.jpg Jaguar XKR: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/GEDC0074.jpg Same car after I realised I left sport mode on... http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/GEDC0075.jpg And finally, a BMW 320D SE! (In the road I live on!) http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/GEDC0081.jpg Hope you enjoyed them :)

I don't use a different IK. I made the stick shift myself :)

With a LOT of swearing! Which reminds me, I need to continue working on that...

I have honestly forgotten where it is!! Somewhere near the TVR dealership, just off one of the coastal roads.

On my ride out today, I caught a Alfa Brera and a 350z :D A Continental GT went past my house before, too.

Love the shots! Great work!

Nice pics ;)

Check the first post, Imad. There's links to both the roadster and the coupe with both vents up and down ;)

Few more for you people! With TDU66 (me in the Green LP640 Roadster) http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/20090830171625.jpg Drifting the S5 http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/20090830185231.jpg Shiny RX7! http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/20090830190922.jpg Another Shot of the RX7 http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/metal_man_409e/20090830191151.jpg enjoy :)

eech. If I weren't saving money, I'd most probably pre-order it. The trailer looks as though it's a well thought out game with a story behind it. Although, it may get a little repetitive at times (Brief on mission - Get in craft - bail out of craft at mach 3 - land on the ground without a parachute - kill hostiles - mission accomplished) :p Unless the trailer is just a CGI render (not meant in a punny way - seeing as it's a video game lol...) I'm not sure the graphics will be THAT good.

At the end of the day, making a thread arguing about an opinion is worthless. You use normal mode because you feel it's better, we use HC mode as WE feel it's better. Points have been given from both sides and IMO, I think RX-37 is adamant that normal mode is pure win. He may be right from the advantageous side, but from the realism aspect of the game (Which is what Atari attempted to achieve with HC mode) I do think that HC mode is far superior when cruising.

Spare tyres generally have a 50kmh (or is it mph?) speed limit on them, just to see you home. I would strongly advise you take it to kwik fit/similar. Depending on the car/tyre, you'll look to pay around £40? Perhaps a little more or less. If you have a Jaguar X-type though, it's £50 per tyre and then labour on top :eek: (I was with my Grandad when he had all four tyres changed)

Whoa. That CCGT looks almost real :eek:

Yeah, tis only on Vista. It's called SpeedTest.

Shame to hear this. Oasis could possibly have been the best band to emerge from the UK, with a close rival to Queen.

Good luck with the shadow, guys. I've done a little mod for myself, using the ZX-12R's shadow. The only shadow there is the wheel bug, and of course the rider. Even though the D_Shadow is still in the file, it doesn't show up in game :)

Well done for stating the obvious about someone else stating the obvious about someone else stating the obvious. :rolleyes: ;)

I would VERY much prefer to understeer into a tree rather than pathetically turn at 150mph round a 90 degree corner with very little oversteer. I would prefer to let the tail hang out rather than having it stick to the road like a magnet. As Mellors said, it's your opinion and you're entitled to it, but "one man's rubbish is another man's treasure" comes to mind. I, personally, HATE normal mode with a fiery passion.

TSS was being sarcastic is all.

Tried hitting F5 on the desktop?

Saw a nice blue Audi RS4 peg it from the lights next to me. Sat on my future bike and the Hayabusa again :p (My future/dream bike is the Suzuki GSX650F) Saw an Aston DB9 parked at the restaurant again. and a pink Rolls Royce Phantom

Can't be done, Nele :( It's hardcoded into the game somewhere unfortuntately. Unlesssss... *Idea pops into mind* *Waits for Tool to come online*

Agreed. CLOSING DATE: 23rd August. All entries after that date will be deleted. :locked:

Then don't! Nobody is forcing you.
