it was a bit hectic at the back end of the road america race, I did like that bit where we were virtually bumper to bumper. I just wish I knew what happened to my car I had that race sewn up for first 3-4 laps then the car just kept sliding off the track and became a real fight to get around on the track

I wondered where you went on Sebring, didn't realise you made that big a mess. Replays look good though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Done nothing, spent the whole day on London transport system, it sucks, I prefer a subaru any day. Got 2 more days on not driving. Epic misery

Thats not bad, when I get F5 I'll do some designs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still looks pretty good though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gambit, does the Xbone allow you to record in game footage, I heard somewhere that it did? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm going to get a dash cam for my forza race car

Wasn't suggesting you did, we'll maybe forza?

the police actually want these videos now and they're looking to use them to stop just this sort of driving, apparently you can call 101 and advise you have said footage, leave it on the memory card you took it on so its original untouched and it seems that can be used as evidence in some circumstances. on the flip side you'd better watch out as it you may be being watched when you're all playing out there

Hello it has come to my attention that unfortunately some Audi and BMW drivers (although not limited to these) seem to misunderstand the technical aspects of other cars and operators. I would like to use this post to inform such drivers so that they are better able to understand and hopefully make better decisions. when approaching a vehicle at high speed in lane 3 who is overtaking a lorry, it has become customary to flash ones lights at said car in order to achieve the goal of advising the car to move sideways or to speed up and get out of the way. Unfortunately this approach fails to allow for the technical aspects of the car being flashed at. In this explanation we will refer to the normal road user (the car overtaking the lorry in a sensible manner) as Car A and the prat in the fast approaching car as Car B. When Car B flashes its lights at Car A the rearward facing TS (Tw*t sensor or rear view mirror) detects the approach of a high speed vehicle, this vehicle will already have been identified by the operator, the flash of the lights however triggers the involvement of the Neuro-network device (NND or drivers brain). Upon seeing the flashing lights the TS system advises the NND of the fast approaching car, the NND then has several options at its disposal to respond to the flashing lights of CarB. 1 - The mandatory response by the NND is to lock the steering options open to the driver of CarA preventing it from changing lanes, this ensures that the fast approaching CarB is unable to proceed past CarA. 2 - The auto brake light system may deploy, this is a system that applies a minimal braking force which is usually just sufficient to ensure CarA takes much longer than usual to pass the lorry being overtaken. 3 - There is also a heavy braking force this is used when the CarB starts tailgating and may often follow the use of the light braking force applied. this heavy braking force is also known as the Brake Test. 4 - The NND may also detect excessive aggravation from the operator of CarB and increased light flashing will significantly increase the likely hood of an automated response from the NND, this response is likely to be twofold, often involving controlled and purposeful gesticulation from the operator of CarA and an applied braking force sufficient to match the speed of the lorry being passed, this ensures the maximum application of annoyance to the operator of CarB. The last option open to CarA often deployed by the NND is the automatic and rapid application of the throttle of CarA, thus opening up a large gap between CarA and CarB. this approach often results in the uncontrolled Red Face of the NND system within CarB. In simplified terms, if you're one of those clearly IQ deficient drivers of such aforementioned german cars who have those flashing head lights, there are two options open to you. allow me to continue on my merry way at usual road speeds and I will courteously move over once past and allow you to proceed on your way to your next 3 points. the other way is to shake your fists, gesticulate, flash your lights and try to hound me out of the way, I'll just see this as a bit of sport how much I can wind you up and you'll be one step closer to your stress induced heart attack. Thank you, rant over

Dash cam arrived today so off to install once I get a long enough USB cable. I'll pop done video up soon so you can see what this £24 dash cam puts out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We still talking about cars or has gambit influenced the thread without trying Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I showed a Kia sportage that just because you have the word sport in the cars name doesn't mean you can drive like an !Removed!.

Clean, hate dirty cars.

Anyone want to slap a passat driver while were at it

Really, I reckon even I could give an Audi A4 a run unless it was one of the sports ones or a turbo and I drive a diesel

I think the last car into that melee was me?

do you ever get the feeling that some people have way too much time on their hands?

That's something I'd be interested as my Diesel turbo chatters sometimes and mines all standard so I'm wondering if its something I should be calling dealer about? not up enough on turbos. I do know that the turbo is really loud (sounds like a truck turbo sometimes) and sounds like it has a dump valve or something when you change gear. . . but its a standard diesel. any thoughts from those in the know? I got 5 years warranty so not massively worried but if it needs looking at I'd rather do it now.

Ha Ha that's funny, I drove from Manchester to Stafford 60miles with the fuel light on and then didn't bother filling up until the next day, the joys of diesel and 60mpg

Gambit is currently hanging from the shoe laces of everyone else who's already hanging off the south pole Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That might be what he means bit at least you keep coming back which means he's got work do he's not going to moan too much Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used to have a LWB Landrover and I had z brake failure I rolled into the Audi in front and tapped it, I thought that was lucky. When he pulled forward the boot lid was half way up the rear windscreen and the boot looked like an exploded cartoon shotgun. Not good, not done what you did fortunately but sympathise.
