That is actually a quality tune, the Sierra Leone one. And I don't even know what Dubstep is.

I have the HPI Micro RS4 Drift and it's really good fun, think it's the only 1:18 RC drift car? It comes with the D-Box assist thing too which countersteers for you. Haven't got round to turning it off yet...

I must disagree sir Just been to see it, it's OTT but bloody epic and entertaining!

Love the big-arse Arsenal Gear style Ark things at the end.

Sounds good to me. How do you install the hires stuff by the way? I just put it in the Targa folder with the other stuff?

Looking good, nVidia is associated with speed and power as well as style so a supercar fits. How about taking design cues from the shape of components on the graphics card, as well as their logo obviously? Maybe the interior can resemble the nVidia control panel...

Just make sure they don't ship out the manufacturing to some random company, because then the car will overheat too easily and shut down *is still sore about the 8600GT problem*

Is that a bit of TVR at the back and Koenigseggggg in the middle? With a touch of iRobot on the wheels... (EDIT: Damn you beating me to the iRobot comment, ACCAkut!)

Think I fixed that by using OpenGL mode then switching back to DX...

Does anyone know if that Dino actually behaves like a Dino btw? In terms of power and grip, or is it just an F1 car that looks different?

Just did the track in 45mins. Average speed of 58mph

14 collisions with the wall
8 cars (resets)
6 spins
1 roll
1 wheel falling off

Not a bad lap!

Wow, just installed the GPL 04 thing again and Targa Florio (why is everything GPL based so damn fiddly?) and what a road! Got half hour in and still hadnt finished... and the practice timer ran out cos I should have been in Training mode

44 miles? That's freakin' epic. Is there a new Isle of Man track yet btw?

Use it to hide the porn - no fear of someone accidentally stumbling on your browsing history if you do it all on the VM

That's what Firefox's "Delete everything on close" is for

Slightly tempted to try that virus aquarium thing now

Or I might just sell the machine like wild suggested...

Quote :

From what I've read there a few way's for it to cross the virtual to physical boundary, ram and network topology being two

That's an interesting point. I thought because a certain portion of my RAM was dedicated to the VM, the real system couldn't access it and that portion was cleared before being returned to the physical machine at the end of the VM session? Depends who you ask I guess.

That actually happens... sort of. Got my PC back from a tech place a few years ago, fresh install of XP... Typed something into Google and the history thing that popped up suggested "escort services in the local area" and various other things

So, I've recently installed XP in a VM on my laptop. Which is great in a geeky way, but... What do I actually do with the XP install? The way I see it, I have a "free" extra computer which I have no use for except to:

- Run old games on
- Let it get infected with every virus evar and see what happens just for giggles

Can anyone suggest random things to do with/ways to abuse a VM?

Just completed the PS3 version is 5 hours, short campaign but epic

Did anyone else get their preorder early from GAME?

TT Superbikes (PS2, Isle of Man game)

I bought TT Superbikes: RRR Championship after I went to Oliver's Mount to watch the racing. Awesome game, weaving inbetween traffic or just attempting the IOM course is epic fun. Copies of the game are rare though.

On the subject of natural selection, seen today on a firework safety leaflet:

"Do not put sparklers in pockets."
"Never throw fireworks."

Do people really have to be told this? If they're stupid enough to do these things, you could probably take these warnings off and let the problem solve itself And the world would be safer as these people wouldn't rear-end you on the freeway/accidentally burn your apartment building down in the future...

i HATE farcry and all them FPS games where u get it 5 times and still move around like u didnt get hit.

Did you ever play Far Cry 2? I made the FC comparison due to the open world and the fact you can approach a mission any way you want.

It's a genuinely good game except for your slightly useless AI mates, haven't tried co-op yet though...

Picked this up today, what a brilliant game! Plays like the first OFP mixed with Far Cry 2, Ghost Recon and the old Delta Force games. Fantastic fun

Has anyone else got this, and have you got past the ****ing "defend beachead" mission yet?

Love the Motorsport Hero cam stuck on your helmet!

Over here the cheapest karting is the Club 100 (http://www.club100.co.uk/) championship, which looks quite good if anyone's interested in racing competitively.

No tyre deformation

Knew I couldn't be far from a fellow LFS'er

That wasn't close to the action though! Go to the Oliver's Mount motorbike races, there's a small wood fence, 3ft of grass, then superbikes doing 150mph!

The lowest mileage used car I've seen is a C1 at 100 miles, they couldn't sell it as new because it was used as a demonstrator.

Whether they could sell it with this mileage as new if it wasn't used as a demo I don't know. There must be a cutoff point though. 20 miles?

If it's anything like ETS, I'm there!

Thought I'd stick some cool shots from today up for anyone whos interested Didn't stay for Race 3, wanted to beat the inevitable traffic!

1: Plato passes Chilton in race #2... finally!
2: Random Formula Renault, nice panning shot. Framing could do better, but it's hard when they're that fast!
3: Ginetta gets nudged coming out of Druids(?)
4: Broken Clio Cup car

That pack needs Zwiviec!

Polish beer with a taste. Beats Carling/Carlsberg/Fosters any day. Shame the only bar you can get it in over here is Wetherspoons...
