Are you going to tell the queen no?

Also, I wonder if a president would still be allowed to do a track day or something. Ideally a road rally with a secret service agent acting as co-driver. And when they hit the horn while going over crests, the battle hymn of the republic plays!

On a closed course, sure, it's more about a professional driver protecting the president from attack. GWB is free to drive himself around his ranch in Texas. I think any current/former president could dismiss his secret service detail, but once they're gone you might not be entitled to their protection in the future.

Presidential motorcade road rally would be amazing, though. Three black Cadillac trucks numbered 000-00-0 blast down the road nose to tail, followed by two dozen troopers on motoGP bikes dragging knees around the corners, followed by two "beast" limos in a tandem drift. "Try and snipe me, just you loving try!"

Ferrari chassis are pretty funny. I remember seeing a wrecked 550 once - "so wait, this is basically a production kit car with a glorified ladder frame?"

My dad always called Ferraris "Overpriced kit cars"

There's much truth in that - staring at a F430 and seeing a bunch of Fiat and Lancia parts dated from the 70's is jarring.

I would watch the hell out of this. Or swap the MotoGP bikes for Dakar bikes and do it on a gravel rally stage :allears:

I saw a Lexus LFA on the freeway the other day, Riverside Ca, in traffic. No one I know gives a poo poo about such things but I had to share a Unicorn sighting. It bounced down the freeway like an accord lowered with a gas axe in mom's driveway. Beautiful car though.

Nurburgring tuned I'm sure. I can hear James May bitching in my head

Bear in mind, the driving she did in the war wasn't a car or a little half-ton or anything, it was a full-size Austin K2 ambulance, they're the equivalent of something like a Dodge WC54, but 10% larger in all dimensions and about a half-ton heavier:

Including the service/repair work all drivers had to do:

I assembled the entire front and rear suspension components, pushed my sweet rear end summer car into the garage ready to do the engine work, went to bed then tried to go into town for more sausages and crashed and died. 10/10 would go to pussy again.

I got like a quarter of the engine done then I realized I was running out of beer and sausages so I got in the van and started to drive to town, flipped into a ditch and couldn't open the door so had to punch out the windshield to get out, made it back to the road before I died of dehydration because I didn't take the remainder of the beer with me. 10/10 GOTY

Pfff. Get on my level

Of course the body is completely hosed from all the physics freaking out from putting it together. The engine is making a horrible screeching sound and won't stay running for more than a few seconds before backfiring so bad the muffler flies off. The brakes don't work at all, and it pops out of gear constantly. I love this drat game.

I completed the car! Sort of. Didn't move, couldn't find the problem so I just redlined it until the engine caught fire and hit it with the sledgehammer. It is a good game.

Seems like there is a lot of trial and error and error in making poo poo fit, figure out how poo poo works, and living with clipping issues. Very Finnish. I just don't have a PC capable of running this... :saddowns:

I didn't even manage to put the engine together. :shobon:

How do you actually turn the bolts?

Being able to give inanimate objects the finger when they don't go together is very realistic though.

Open the wrench case. Switch to tool mode ("2" by default). Grab a wrench.

Hold the cursor over the bolt such that it turns green if you have the correct size wrench, then turn the mouse wheel to tighten or loosen the bolt.

For starters, the main bearing bolts are a 9.

That's an Opel GT right? It looks awesome, but I was under the impression (based on a poster's comments a few years ago) that the engine bay was too small to fit most any performance engines inside it--- so is this just krauted out?
