Oh, so we're allowed to have flying cars now?

Yeah baby, that's evo-fucking-lution! I think Patters has evidence of your foray into aerial automotive posted earlier...

It begs the question, why can we put decals on the underneath of the cars, that's another 25% more ad space.

Taking inspiration from the great British institution that is TopGear, how about running an Auction Challenge for next week?

We set a credit limit and then race what ever we can buy in the Forza Market Place Auctions for that price or under.

Waddaya think?

That would be pretty cool.

Some pics from last night, there is a bit of a theme appearing in my pics, shall we call it 'images of a robust racing style'?

Wrestlevania, mid shaft.

Detail - you can almost see him tense for the impact... :-P

Since our race last week was fantastic, I would like to put forward:

Rally Special, a single lap around Ralli, with B class cars. 4 wheel drive advised, Liveries required. Advised cars would be Imprezas, Evos, Focuses (4WD).

Would my reverse cow pattern constitute a livery?

I was more aiming for a race with actual rally liveries. There are a ton of free ones on the storefront.

Some example cars are:

1983 Audi sport Quattro

Renault 5 Turbo

BMW M3 E30 (there is a good free design for this one)

Any Lancia

Any Focus.

If you would like I could see if I could spec up a car for you? Send me a preferred base car and I'll see what I can do. You would have to buy the design yourself though. Aside: I really like building cars in this game.

I have no idea what you mean by this, but if you'll explain it I'll try...

In short I'd like a race with all rally cars. Who tend to be built for quick acceleration both off the line and out of corners and good handling. I put forward the livery idea as I love rally liveries, of all types of rally WRC

and Rally America alike.

Keep it in B class.

No, I mean I am the opposite of a car person. I have a general conception of rally racing in my mind, but the term "livery" is new to me...

Oh OK a livery is essentially the collection of vinyls and decals which are there for aesthetic and advertising reasons. So these are examples of them:

I'm not expecting this to start from tomorrow, in fact when Wrestle gets back would be an ideal time to start it. I have toyed with a Renault 5 and an Audi Quattro, both are good, though the Quattro has the edge for me.

Quattro's the daddy. :yep:

I'll be back in about 3 weeks. Flying out to SXSW tomorrow morning, back a week later, then off to Disneyland Paris on the train for a few days with Mrs V and the kids shortly after. :clap:

I will miss the racing with you all though. ;(

I'll be a little late entering today, but should be around by quarter after. Keep those engines turning over.

I think this is Borg technology, trying to assimilate my Yaris.

Oh, later? I thought you meant earlier. I'll probably make it then.

Wait a second. I really hate DST, and I'm now confused. I think it would be earlier. Yeah on futher inspection it would be earlier.

Miffy if you'd like I'm up for some gaming from 7GMT, either perfect dark, street fighter, dow, pretty much anything. If you're up for it gimme a shout.

I just got an email from my professor. She has a cold, and so the class that I was going to have to be in at game time today due to DST is canceled. Normal game time (ie: without having to worry about my stupid clocks being changed) is fine for me, no special accommodations required. I may jump on an extra half hour early or something though, for a quick spin of Perfect Dark. I hear that the controls have been kept N64-style by default, and I'm really curious to see if I remember what it was like to play an FPS when I was 13.

Monkey, 'blix, where were you today? Patters and I were killing time in Perfect Dark and were ready to leave the game as soon as you came online, but you never appeared. At least good times were had in PD...
