[OT] Forza Motorsport 2

Is there a Passat B6? Steve could base all his car reviews on the game, driving them back to backwith the passat. He could then voice his opinions, but they might be a bit muffled as he could do it all sitting down.

No, it's a racing game.

Wash your mouth out with soap. Don't you know that the reason why VW don't use the Passat in motorsport is because it's too quick for it. Just think: Alfa Romeo 75 and navigation rallies.

OoooOOOooooOOOOooOOooooo get her ! Someone's in need of a cup of coffee :)

The only cooling problems recently have been with your Alfa. The rangie did display lower than it should, but did work. The dashboards can fail, but there are DIY fixes. The aircon works but=20 not as cold as I would like. A proper service will sort that.

It might need a shim setting on 5 or 7 cylinder, but apparrently normal,=20 and not a worry. It is a normal service item, and Lexus advise if it=20 happens between services it doesn't need attention until the next=20 service. I'll get that done when I decide to do the cambelt.

It's a cheap car. If it fails the remains as a parts donor will sell for=20 most of what I paid for it in one job lot. I like it. Unless petrol goes=20 stupid, like =A31.20 a litre I can fuel it. I might not like paying out so= =20 much, but I can afford to.

TBH, I couldn't have bought anything german as smooth or in as good nick=20 or a reliable for the same money.=20

It's a lot more comfortable and interesting a place to be than the=20 Octavia, but not as chuckable as the Saab. Hangs on nicely though for a=20 barge.

Yes it arrived on Thursday morning (I didn't get back till 9pm though). Not exactly a sim racer but I'm enjoying it. My R32 Corrado is quit nice but nothing compared to my U class Mk4 golf with a 3.6 V6 delivering 701bhp to the rear wheels.

That said it's the classics I'm using to win races mainly the 914/6 and Dino so far.

I haven't spent long in the livelry editior yet:

That's the 0-300 Top Secret Supra :-p

Overpressurised header tank or broken radiator?

Is there a dashboard interface?

Wasn't it the coolant gauge that was dodgy on your Toymota? - one of the hugely complex and expensive to repair or replace dials was playing up.....

wow the graphics look real on that last one! :)

I used to do Nav runs in a 3.0 75.. and we used an insane Giulietta as a rally support vehicle. Both were regularly broken but the rally car used a

Bollocks, looks like an Atari ST running 16 colour mode in 320x200 :)

Amiga was better.

My bad, the 0-300 Supra is also there tho :-)

Far from it. Popped down to the Classic Ford show at Santa Pod with the Capper. Parked it on the club stand and spent a very nice day looking at machinery you'll never afford and watching the drag racing. Perfect weather. Even the food stalls weren't trying to screw everyone this year and they've proper toilets. Perfect day.
