I feel like im going to be well behind the curve in terms of skill by the time i start playing properly. I've taken the decision not to play anymore until my wheel arrives. I've not even started on the career yet, I only played the single race mode since i got it. Wheel should be here this week though - i had an email yesterday saying it's been exported from the depot in Dublin!

I'll ask and let you know.

Yes just EMS for now as far as i know. Free postage on everything - i know his initial strategy is to beat competitors on price so hopefully the combined effect is that he's cheaper overall!

I wouldn't consider myself a smoker, but i've always had the odd cigar when the mood takes me. I'm on a bit of a journey trying to try as many brands as possible. The best i've found to date (which was a gift from the USA) has been a Gurkha Beast! I recently got my own humidor and have got a few choice cigars in there at the moment. I've just had a Dunhill Aged this evening, with a glass of Port* (*several glasses) Whilst i'm very much an amateur on the scene, my brother is trying to make a career out of cigars! He's been a big fan for a long time, and he's in the process of opening up a website for cigar sales. I've helped him out a little with the site, but his long term goal is to be able to quit work and open up a cigar shop! If anybody is a fan, please take a look. It's still a work in progress, but he is open for business. http://www.mcdonaldcigars.co.uk/

Im getting an odd sound glitch quite often (every race). The engine sounds get quite badly distorted for about 15 seconds. Other than that i've not had too many other issues.

Well i lasted almost 14 hours but i have caved already and just ordered a Thrustmaster TX...! Best price i could find anywhere by a country mile - £225 delivered. The order has gone through but i wouldnt be surprised if it gets cancelled at their end. https://www.gamestop.co.uk/Xbox%20One/Games/46430/tx-racing-wheel-ferrari-458-italia-edition

Yup pro was a mistake, the game is rather harsh in its introduction, I was struggling with it too but a group of us have been playing with settings and it's now much much better. I tried to add you to come join Ekona, myself and some friends but I guess you didn't see the invite. Will be back on Sunday so can try then. Stick with it though, it's got lots of rough edges but given time and support this is going to be a gem, I'm loving it. No didnt see the invite sorry. I've put the racing line on and enabled TCS and ABS. What really seems to have done the trick though is i've increased the throttle and brake deadzone and reduced the throttle sensitivity. Much better now... just managed about 10 laps of Oulton in an RUF in light rain! ...feel like im cheating using the racing line though.

... probably shouldt say this, but our company manages the ticketing systems for Ipswich, Norwich and Brentford. I've been managing the Wembley preparations directly with Ipswich & Norwich all week! We also have Sheffield United, and have recently signed Southend Utd (although Southend arent on our platform yet), but both of those are in playoffs too. It's been a busy week at our offices!

Man im struggling a bit with Project Cars. I've done about 15 laps of Donnington so far, and only kept it on the track for 1 full lap! I'm driving the Ginetta Junior, and still struggling. I went for the Pro difficulty. Think i need to dial it down a bit.

Thats a lovely colour. Looks like it's got a hint of gold in it.

Awesome. Just watched the review on this. Looking at £250 for the basic unit, which is a bit rich for me at the mo (middle of moving house). Might pickup a cheap wheel for the time being, and upgrade in 12 months.

Man this is killing me. What wheel have you got Dan? I've got a driving rig but no wheel/pedals to go with it!!

Anyone know if Tesco will be selling it tonight after midnight...? I cant wait!

I'd been looking forward to it all week. Went up to my brothers house, started drinking at about 5pm. Went into town, and at about 2am i was puking up from drinking too much. Passed out on the sofa shortly after and missed the fight. Regretting it today.

Happy birthday Pete.

Sorry OP for off topic, but as I (and i suspect many others) am a nosey bugger, i'd like an explanation of why WW has been banned. Both threads (that i have seen) discussing this have been locked, without any explanation other than that he is banned.

Holy fook. That looks painful. How did you manage that?!

What happened there? Downshift at too high revs and the rear axle locked up, or just weight transfer from the gear change mid corner? Thought i would have been more well balanced than that.

Im in the middle of moving house so going through a similar process at the moment. I've always been on Virgin Media - top package, multiroom, Sky Sports... and it's £115 per month (and i dont have movies, although i dont need them. ) My new house is in a non-VM area so need to find an aternative. All i really care about is getting the sports channels and having the ability to record. I think im going to try out Freeview with my Smart TV which can also record to an external HDD apparently. Im then going to look out for one of these boxes which streams the sports channels from an online source.

Mate thats mint.

Many marques seem to have risen 10-20% in the last 18 months. Audi R8's and Ferarri 360's were starting at around £35k ish and have now crept up to £40k. Similar story right down the spectrum from what i've seen, e.g. Elise's etc. Now i wouldnt necessarily call these appreciating assets... there are only a few of the real 'money cars' out there, like the Sagaris and NSX, which have seemingly doubled in value in the last 5 years.

I thought it was a good race. Really enjoyed it.
