Gambit Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Forgot about British summer time myself. Might be a good thing though too wet to get done the job today but should only take a few hours now so all being well that will keep me busy for the morning then get to sit on my !Removed! and smash some forza in. Watched a bit of the YouTube video of the first two hours game play. Starts off just like the demo. Another reason I won't play it again lol. And looking good stants. Probably need a forklift to load it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Can't believe the game comes out while I'm at work ;) haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Yeah my van is at ford so hope it fits in the foz, however mk1.5 table is now on drawing board that mk1 sits a little to high so some plywood or mdf will go on bottom to rest pedals and some nice wood for top so I don't stab myself to death, Unfortunately http://www.gtomegaracing.com/gt-omega-steering-wheel-stand this is out of stock now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Stants, don't want to teach you to suck eggs, but don't forget that you can't build it wider than the doors in your house. My dad built a wooden rowing boat in the living room (a kit one) and and then realised after he'd built it that it wouldn't now fit through any of the doors, he had to take all the door frames out to get it out of the house [emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Good call ! Although I actually had the foresight to take some measurements last night ! it's going to be a 'z' shape (hopefully) when finished, I make no illusions that I will probably be rubbish but should do until a suitable stand arrives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogconker Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 You'll have to put the wheel on to show it in its full glory, and paint it black Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Haha I doubt it will be dry in time for tomorrow, Besides the misses has already gone mad at me asking where it's going & why is it so ugly. So I've sent her a load of links to stands asking which one she prefers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 It will be dry if you used blackboard paint? Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Well this hasn't taken 3 hours to do, I have been 'doing' proper work but not having my van back until tonight leaves me a bit stuck, I'll be running round like a mentalist tomorrow trying to catch up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogconker Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 That would like your intending to keep it, plus if it starts looking nice the missus might let you keep it, then you won't get a proper one.

stants Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Far from it she thinks it's hideous, (half the plan) so she takes pity on me and chooses one of the stands that I've sent her least that way we'll both be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I know that, but if it's nicely sanded and varnished she may decide it's not that bad afterall. Paint it black, make it look even more monstrous [emoji16] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Plan is to get it in the house before she returns from work, get up to my mates to help him with his van, it's so heavy she won't be able to move it anyway. By the time I'm home she'll be sick of looking at it and go why haven't you ordered the other one yet ! ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Either that or she'll dismantle it him a hammer and kill you with it when you get home. If you get home and there's a crucifix in the front garden made out of bits of 3x4, ID go back and stay at your mates Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Don't even have to take it home now, all my hard work as been shot down in flames, conversation went sort of like this, i'm sure you put some effort into it but it's not going in my !Removed! house, I've just ordered you one so don't even think of coming home with it [emoji41] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
