ugh sucks i signed up to the beta with my old PC specs, i doubt i'll get into it on those.

An IBM XT in the early 90's that was donated to us by a family friend. MM monochrome.

Less than i've spent on real cars, tyres, engines, gearboxes, fuel/oil etc.

the Portishead Roseland NYC Album from 1998 is quite good too.

Unfortunately they don't have "all mine" on youtube from this album, personally i think it's one of the best tracks. beth's voice live is amazing.

Holy crap man that orchestral cover of PVD made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck! that sound is glorious

also i love my beyer headphones <3

And to seal the deal, even tho i've posted this video here before.

It was kinda funny till i saw that forklift sliding around....thats scary. I'm sure people would have been injured, but i hope none too seriously.

Time to upgrade to the later version 6 speed? ;D

or steam. It'd be cheaper than shipping stuff anyway.

i use a button on my G25 shifter. wayyyy easier if you ask me

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

I bet 2k will leave half of it out for DLC

DLC includes females, powerful weapons, ability to finish the game

just like mafia 2 then amirite?

Surely they can give you contact details for a UK supplier?
Maybe if you have friends/family in the US, they can get some and ship them to you.

TBH force feedback joystick is a better option than mouse. Not as good as wheel. It's what i used for years before i got my wheel

downloading now.

EDIT: UGH it only gives u $500 start in free ride?!?! wtf :P all i wanna do is max out the fast cars and driiiiiive

so in the freeroam mod, is there access to the hot rods? I want to get some and upgrade the tuning etc.

it can be done.

game seems ok, if a little samey. physics aren't terrible either. But you'd have to love truck racing to play it. No setup options, only 2 trucks. You can change the paint scheme tho, if thats your thing.

Thanks for sharing this. I don't know why but this kind of stuff always intrigues me

If you really want to shorten braking distances -

Get some grippier tyres
Weight reduce the car
Get lighter rims (expensive option)
Drive slower, everywhere
Replace any broken suspension or braking components (worn shock absorbers will increase your braking distance and ability to control a car in an emergency situation)

anything much less than this is a waste of time.

eh without the high revving engines it just seems.....wrong

I did enjoy the truck racing in DiRT1 tho

If anyone is feeling generous, XBL account name is senn82
I'm usually broke in forza3 because when i buy a car, i can't help modding it until i'm done racing it in it's series. Then i buy the next car for the next series and mod that...
And thus the cycle of poverty continues. What is this valhalla thing you guys speak of? give us a link or explain how it works maybe?

EDIT: googled it. Figures they don't take paypal anymore. boo.
