GT4 has become less of a game for me, more a relentless wallpapering machine. My ancient pirate copy of Microsoft Scenes will soon find itself bedecked with a new, enormous picture set.....Oh yeah, and I got the Carlton by the skin of my teeth, spotted it... did two races to raise the cash... thank christ it was still there - had enough left for an oil change and a photo drive. Rock and roll...!
It's a beast..... a big, non-cornering, tyre eating, beautiful beast. (Is that about accurate?)
(of course I turned the ASM and Trac off, what kind of numpty do you take me for?
)Top tip - if you put the photo drive replay into Fast Forward before hitting Select, when doing burnouts, the trails become about 3x longer, because the smoke graphic doesn't fade away any faster than in normal replay mode
A bit of ill-advised messing with the laws of physics there, and the obligatory Top Gear shot.
I propose a GT4 Photo thread for the Members Rides section, able to be added to by anyone (or a sticky for here). Though perhaps it should be limited to one pic / a certain total kilobytes per person-per post-per day to avoid the unbridled carnage the old Mk3 Pic Post was.
Compo it up to find who can get the best pic. (I haven't even got close to putting up some of the sepiatone / blueprint ones i made, yet
)Oh, and how pimp is this?!
For some reason.... the japanese version of Starskey and Hutch wasn't ever anywhere near as popular as the american original. Probably due to a chronic cardboard box shortage. It just didn't take off. Never had a chance of getting off the ground without them, so to speak.
And just in case you were suspecting, I only got round to copying all these over because I managed to fill an entire, virgin 8mb PS2 memory card already (with game, photos, and replays). Had to transfer and delete about 50 shots. Feel lucky I haven't put the whole deal up - I've got some nice ones of the Volvo Estate in Brooklyn, and the Ginetta in Vegas
and plenty more LC / Skyline to add to the above.And it all started properly in earnest, when the Autobianchi got it's new pimptastic chrome wheels, stolen off a hotwheels version of a Plymouth Superbird or something.....
F***ing gorge, that game.
Night!
funny, one of the best looking women at my place of work is called Elsie... mere coincidence?
