Does this happen then?, I can't think of any occurance of something like this, at least completely un-provoked, happening in my lifetime, and especially not physical, and I've lived in a some pretty dodgy areas when I was younger.

I've given up on 2010, untill such time as they release a patch.

Its fun and all, just not much fun as the AI is really crappy when it comes to pitstops, they might as well have removed pitstops completely, because there is no strategy as you either get stuck in the pits as a string of AI drivers leave the pitlane, or backmarkers win as they don't even bother to pit.

You must be able to pick up a secondhand "phat" pretty cheaply now?

That roll-over video again highlights an apparent "gravity" issue, as the karting video did.

All seems well untill the car leaves the ground, then it all seems to enter a "floaty floaty, low gravity" mode.

I am hoping its pure car porn, with at least some semi-realistic physics.

Just hope its better the GT5 and the time trial demo......

A month to go!!, I seriously hope it lives up to the hype!!!!

Quote from Mustafur :

The only thing that sets this game apart is the Racing line grip compared to the dirty parts of the track, no game i have ever played has even tried to acknowledge it exists.

Both SBK:X and V8 Supercars : Next challenge have this, I think the "drying line" on SBK:X is at least as good as F1.

Quote from Dajmin :

I'd also like to hop across for a weekend in France. No reason not to since it's actually closer than half the gigs I play

I am amazed the amount of people who don't do it more, we get crossings when they are doing a deal, recent one we had was £20 for a car with up to 6 people and 8 free bottles of wine, I mean, its almost like they are paying you to go!!!.

Personally, I think France, and to a greater extent, Belgium are really, really under rated, I've offen been critical of Belgium, but in recent years we've visited Gent, Brussels, Bruges and various other small towns (Verne, Damme), and its actually a really nice country, with lots of interesting things to see, and some of the best architecture in Europe IMO.

I am planning to go back again next year and visit the "Atlantic wall" museum at Ostende.

My return ticket to Aus was about $1000

It wouldn't be the first time someone has turned up a Nuremburg trying to find the Nurburgring!!!

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

straight to the town of Nuremberg to the green hell and went over it in a Suzuki swift.

Has the Nurburgring moved then?

Xenophobia FTW!!!!

Quote from The Moose :

Nice to see the Americans in this thread living up to their reputation.
I would like to make you guys aware of a document called a passport.. it enables you to leave your country and see other places in the world!!!

Aren't they one of the least travelled people in the developed world?, according to the stats,isn't its something scary like 80% of people in the US don't have a passport?

Does depend alot on the engine TBH, my 307 used to run out of puff very quickly, I also found the MG ZT I test drove suffered the same problem, a very narrow (even for a diesel) torque band.

Quote from Jakg :

Because diesel is very very boring - it sounds rubbish, and the torque curve is annoying if you want to "make progress".

A diesel is something you buy with your head not your heart.

I dunno, my 150bhp Mazda 6 weasel is pretty decent at "making progress".

Torque curve isn't too bad, globs of it from under 2000rpm all the way up to the heady heights 5000rpm , not overly exciting, as the torque curve is fairly linear, but it goes very, very well, well enough to go up against the majority of traffic on the road today, and with a 6sp box, I am getting about 2300rpm at 80mph, very nice cruising car.

A weasel pretty much handles just as well as its petrol brother, so any smiles coming from handling are there regardless of fuel type.

I get around 51mpg avg out of mine, compared with the (reported of other forums) 35mpg of the 2lt petrol, and even worse, about 25mpg of the 2.3 sports!!!.

Bit of a no brainer unless you are flush with money I guess, but i do agree its a "head rules over heart" issue, obviously a diesel car is never going to "stir the blood" like a revvy petrol engine.

Would like to travel ALOT more, as I think travel broadens the mind, maybe when I retire I'll travel the whole world over.

Or not. Buying an SSD for a PS3 is the BIGGEST waste of money you can think of.

I could write a book, and it would be a big ass depressing book, even worse than the bible I reckon.

Cheers

Going back to the hard drive question again......

Will THIS drive be suitable?

Yes, patches are in the pipeline

They've just altered their article!!!!!, it said "Top Gear track coming to Forza"

http://n4g.com/news/616072/top ... track-headed-to-forza/com

So few days ago i was chillin out, relaxin.........all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin makin trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one lil fight and my mom got scared
She said your movin with your auntie and uncle in bel Air

To be fair, the sport its attempting to simulate can be a bit sterile and devoid of fun at times, so I guess it goes with the territory.
