66' Mustang. £15-25k 2000+ Mercedes G-Wagen. £25k A single-seater of some sort for track days. £10-20k A Z4m Coupe as a daily. £15k And lastly i'd kit out my garage: £10k

So i went to this place last night: http://www.arcade-club.com/ £10 entry for 4 hours of freeplay on over 100 arcade machines from the 70's, 80's and 90's! Apart from the really bad smell of body odour from the super-geeky clientele, it was a brilliant way to spend a saturday night. In fact it's got me thinking that i want to open up my own arcade like this one day, to get me out of the rat race!

Is backward compatability working already? I thought it wasnt out until autumn time?

Shite. :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

Saw these vids on FB this morning. I think it's looking epic, and im really excited to see it. I think the racing looks a little too arcadey (too much drifting round corners), but hopefully this can be dialed down a bit.

F1 all day long.

Hands up whose jealous... Need for Speed Underground 2 on the PC, using my Thrustmaster TX

I assume you've had a look at Hartech's prices? http://www.hartech.org/porsche_996_997_Boxster_engine_failure_repair_rebuilds_prices.html Looking at £6k +VAT for 6x new cylinders. Generally it's poor or inefficient cooling. They say that the cyclinders heat and warp, assuming an oval shape. I've also read that Porsche used sub-standard materials for the liners in this first mass-produced engine which has an impact also.

I've been doing a bit on Project Cars still, and trying to get back into Fifa. I've literally lost about 18 of the last 20 games i've played though... it's really annoying me!! I'm waiting for F1 2015 to come out on XBONE. It was due out this week, but has been delayed until July now.

Sooo glad i sold my 911 before this happened to me. I could feel it in my waters that i'd bought a lemon, and that this happening was only a matter of time. Glad you've got a warranty Adrian... at least that takes some of the pain away. Oddly as much as i hated owning my 911, i really want another (or a Cayman). God knows why.

Brother from another mother.

LOMOTO... Thats Tim's old car! Nice!

I'm planning on getting some second hand kitchen units and worktop to kit out my garage... and use as a workbench etc.

Really like that.

Yeah a low battery can cause some odd electrical gremlins.

I went last year for the first time and it was spectacular. I'm waiting to find out if i can get hold of some complimentary tickets again this year before i know whether im going again.

They never managed to recapture the magic of the Underground games. They were epic.

Great idea for a thread. Im a couple of months away from moving house to a place with a double garage. I've got big plans for it. For now i've just got my single garage, which has never had a car in it but i spend a lot of time there...

Just buy a second hand set and then re-sell them. Shouldnt lose any value... except for postage maybe.

No not jealous at all. It just seems that all of your posts that I read are about how you have a little dilemma that's being caused by all the money you've got. Ok, I have never said this before because I don't think a public forum is the right place to discuss it but I have a lot of serious health issues - that is why I am not currently working - and I try to keep the forum discussions to nicer topics to be honest. If you don't like it I am sorry but I don't really owe you an explanation and am happy for you to continue with your life whilst I continue with mine. Take care and be happy

I'm married mate. She goes to bed at 9.30pm and after that i've got the TV to myself!

Okay, couldnt wait. Man this thing is cool.

My Thrustmaster TX has just arrived today. I've just had a quick 2 minute go to check that it works, and it feels brilliant already. Word of warning for anyone else who buys from the link i put up - it comes with a foreign plug only (i'm guessing european), but luckily i had a travel adapter and it worked fine. I'll mount it on my racing rig after work tonight and put some pics up!
