This is sooo unfair. I haven't received an e-mail from Jen yet. You guys in the US have all the luck. We (foreigners) have to wait for a few more days yet before our copy arrives.

Hehe just joking Charles. Anyway I don't really cane my cars on the road as I've lost some friends through road accidents. However I DO cane my car during track days. Imagine speeding on an empty airfield. Now that is fun and it's quite safe as you won't have to worry about other drivers or the cops.

Most of us don't have the game yet and you're already asking for multiplayer. Relax and wait for Fendi to get a copy.

Charles another thread on "How my kids are conceived" is probably in order soon. Anyway on topic. Of all the cars I had the one that gave me the least amount of problem is my Proton Persona (based on the Mitsubishi Lancer). She may not go fast but compared to my 200SX or my Porsche, she's a gem that would get you where you want to go without fail. I still have it but it's in Malaysia. I will be driving it in December after Christmas for 2 weeks. Ahhh nice warm weather....

That is my main fear when driving a car on the motorway. I mean how many of us ever look under the bonnet? Well me but thats because I'm constantly working on my POS "mid life crisis" 200 SX that keeps breaking down. How I managed to p/ex it for my present car is unknown to me and is best left to the God(/s). quote: Luckily I managed to get back inside of it, push aside my school books and insurance papers and retrieve my dinner from the inferno... the Pizza tasted like smoke though... Now it takes a brave man to rescue his pizza. $ilk I solute you.

How the hell did you manage to blow the engine up? Were you ragging it and forgotton to switch the gear up? At least it's not as bad as when I ruined my Porsce 924 gearbox a few years back. Now THAT was embarressing because it was stupid the way it happened.

Well it's probably due to the fact that we assassins are 1337. I'll ask the director to change his mind or something. Why are you interested in joining?

Last night I had a good dream too. I was a rally driver driving for Subaru. The dream ended violently when my car went into a ditch thanks to the brilliant navigating of my wife. I woke up in a cold sweat, ran to my garage and checked my car. Thank god my Impreza is still intact. p.s. SC I got rid of my Nissan 200SX [ 11-20-2001: Message edited by: Fendi ]

Oops my mistake. They haven't debited my account yet so for the rest of you on BMT Micro don't panic. The reason US $50 dissapeared from my account was because my wife used the wrong card to pay my cable modem bill (yes I know it's quite expensive). I've since contacted BMT micro (e-mail) and told them about it. I doubt they attempted to take the money yet as my bank does not show it on record. Whoops... If worst comes to the worst I'd have to use my Mastercard which I want to avoid. That card costs an arm and a leg for my APR. God I hate being a student. [ 11-18-2001: Message edited by: Fendi ]

I think Civ III is the game for me. While waiting for this game (BCM) to arrive here, I realized that it could take quite a while (1 week) as it's quite close to christmas. So I just spent 34.99 pounds on CIV III. One thing I can say about the game is that it's much more difficult than its predesessors but all and all its quite fun. Try it while waiting for BCM to arrive. You should be able to complete it in a few days .I certainly recommend it.

Besides I there aren't any other outgoings for that account. So no crap thieves here. [ 11-17-2001: Message edited by: Fendi ]

It seems that my bank is missing around US $50. That could only mean one thing......BMT Micro rules!!!!

Cheers Tyrn. I've been trying to figure that out for a long time now. I saw it somewhere during my old counterstrike days (yes sad but true). Well TTFN.

Er and ROOFLES? I've been trying to figure that out for a long time. [ 11-16-2001: Message edited by: Fendi ]

Hmm this is strange? Where's Cmdr Nova? I would rather have music from the Vietnam War (like Paint it black from Rolling Stone) and other war music from that era. Why you may ask? I don't know but probably because I grew up watching NAM Tour of Duties, Hamburger Hill etc. *Edit because Fendi was an idiot who did not comprehended the post [ 11-15-2001: Message edited by: Fendi ]

Baloogan your sig is playing havock on my browser. I am unable to load it (on 512kb/sec). Or it could be NTL fooling about with their cable connection again. Either way this feels slower than a 56k.. [ 11-15-2001: Message edited by: Fendi ]

quote: BMT Micro will start shipping units by 11/16 or 11/19 Woah that means we (international orders) might get it sooner than the North American orders? Cool. I know that there are quite a few faults with the UK (petrol 70p/litre) but one thing for sure, I have yet to be dissapointed by Royal Mail. The minute the shipments arrive in the UK, I'll be sure to get it in a couple of days. Hehe. I'm so happy....

By the way good luck on your venture, you're going to need it. I'm still trying to iron out the bugs from my last upgrade (a few weeks back?). For some reason my computer still feels way too slow for a 1.4gig athlon. Hell it even feels slower than my old pIII 800.

Point taken. But I guess I really can't comment whether a lap top can play games or not as I've never owned or wanted one. Heh you'd be surprised of how many laptops that never ever leave the same spot in the house (my dad's for example). I keep telling him that he might as well buy himself a desk top but what would I know, he has 2 masters and I'm just an undergrad.

Wait a second, you don't happen to know a guy named Trekkie that keeps asking for the Akira card or something do you?

I recognise that quote from someone's sig on another forum. I just can't remember which forum though. [ 11-12-2001: Message edited by: Fendi ]

Check out Dabs.com (where I normally buy parts) guys. Anyone else find it weird that a GF3Ti500 can cost less than a normal GF3. I know what I want to get soon.
