if a bike has to have a booster to not crack, it should be sold with a booster as standard. thats like a car rusting becasue it wasn't sold with paint. Its not your fault.

lol i don't know what i'm trying to say anymore, I just get the feeling everyone is gonna have the same or very similar frame, silver, polished with a loads of andonised bits stuck on it just becasue they can. Not because they bought it all to suite them. newbies will jump into the sport on a full build control or team and not develope a style of their own. I started with a peice of shit t-pro 03 and gradually bought bits that broke. I bought parts for function over form and painted my frame and forks to my own taste. Every part i own is on my bike because it helps my riding, not becasue it looks good (except for the dustcaps :D ). I'd just hate trials to become a sport practised with mass produced generic bikes and riders to adapt to the setups, rather than adapt the setups to their riding. The colour's i guess are irrevilant, and i have no real reason to hate it, but i just see them as tacky and pointless.

kinda a randomish post but anyway, i like new trials specific parts, any parts designed to take the abuse of trials is good by me, especially for stock riders, cheaper trials specific rims and hubs rather than top of the range xc stuff has got to be a good thing. however, i don't like the way everything is all coloured and polished up. there's no variety and it's all to 'pretty' looking for me. I like to see a rider riding a bike thats clearly got their stamp on it, somthing that they have built up to suite their riding and taste, not some generic full build. Nearly all trials riders have unique techniques and styles, and i like that to be reflected in their bikes. Sure, trials bikes are nice looking things, but they are made to be riden, not looked at. Why have coloured cranks when they are just gonna get pummeled by the average rider? why have fully andonised rims when they are gonna get grinded? I think it looks tacky, and makes trials look like childish. no offence to people who ride those parts, thats your choice and possibly your taste and i respect that at the moment, but with a massive increase in parts that all look identicle, alot more people with have the same bikes just becasue they are easy to aquire. Part of the fun for me is seeing people bikes and various setups, if everyone rides the same bike, it's just gonna be really dull.

I obviously have, and i have also played forza, pgr1+2 plus all the other shitty games like need for speed, juiced, burnout (which is pretty good on multiplayer to be far)... project gotham and forza are both way better than gran turismo. I was a massive gran turismo 1 fan, and played it to death, but then i played project gotham and realised how good racing games could be. and nice of you to pick the only half good ps2 game that xbox doesn't have...yet, (muhahaha).

too much i'd think before xmas :D

its 4wd by the way.

that frame kicks ass in white. good deal too, either that or the seller was a mentalist.

overseer - velocity shift, might be good.

never found out to be honest, i certainly can't remember reading it. however i found the site again so have a read. http://reyland.co.uk/projects/ReylandEsCos/index.htm big stats on there, i ain't being cocky and all "i told you so" but there's no denying thats one f**king quick old escort, (or was) however i've seen pictures of an apparent 're-build' so looks like it lives on. :D Oh, and i read earlier about it reaching 197mph whislt racing and enzo on the 04 gumball, not even at full boost and with the huge whale wing on the back.

Well, the big PS2 WILL break, I know tons that have, and there are tons on ebay to prove it, mine broke which wasn't such a bad thing really becasue they are so utterly dire I can't even begin to explain. As for the small one. well, its a small verion of the old one. Same in everyway except it has an built in network adaptor. However i have read about the fans being noisy or something like that (don't quote me though). So from MY experiences, i'd say don't bother with either of them, Playstations are shite, they have riden the fanboy/marketing wave for too long, yet people still keep on buying. At the end of the day it's your cash, but you can pick up NEW Xboxes for £80, Gamecubes for peanuts, and even second hand dreamcast's that kick ps2 ass at around £25 on ebay. (all much better for both games, graphics and build quality). Your choice.

heh

Yeh it does, it's top speed was 194mph if i remember correctly and 0-100 time is about 6 seconds. The stats were on the site but i can't seem to find them now, probably becasue it was written off. (I nearly died when i saw it sliding across the road :D ) It also holds the record for fastest caravan tow which is something like 128mph. :lol:

can't see it but is this the one on a string that goes round and round?? if so, kinda boring, if you want real speed theres a video kicking about somewhere of a 100mph nitro car on an airstrip. it hits a stone at 90ish too and flips like a biatch, (Y) found a video of it, http://www.radiocontrolzone.com/cars/video.asp The red one at the bottom :D

your opinion mate, i ain't tellin you what to like, i said that I would rather have that over a poncy porsche. I'm more of a rally fan than a cruise around in my shiney supercar fan and would have any of the rally classics over a modern day supercar. (Quattro, CS celica, Delta Intergrale or the cossie), cars which have all achieved something in the hands of people i see as some of the best drivers in history. I don't like modern cars, i hate the new mustang, ferraris, mercs and 'supercars' like the zonda, saleen etc. Sure, they are almost motoring perfection, but to me they are bland. (with the exception of the F1 - beast) Oh and p.s Rayland Cossie 0-60 is (or was) 2.8s (i think from memory might be 2.6) if thats what makes a car cool to you. bubye porsche.

fair enough, bet you'd probably get a decent house as-well for the same money, whilst i'd have to sleep in my retro ferrari....Minamilistic is still fasionable though right? :D

so you'd have a GT over an F40?

clever journalism imo. that car is ace, but it's not worth that much brown nosing. gimmie an F40 or the Rayland Cossie anyday, and i'd kick its ass in both speed and style. However the start where mr.clarkson is counting the bags of sugar is so cool, the way he says them is just funny to me.

yeh and the game is

Had a leeds ride today and carl being injured (still!) meant some more nice piccies. Didn't get all the riders but here are the better shots from what he got, hope the peeps in them don't mind (Y) Deonne (sorry if i spelt it totally wrong mate) - this guy's impressive Nadine Me Nick FEW MORE TO COME.... (Y) Mr. Neil And last but not least.... This randomer asked someone to hop on him, so this guy willingly obliged (sorry didn't catch the riders name) Must of been a freshers week pisshead.

to blow the mushroom cloud away, duur (Y)

nothing can protect you from the good old 'poke in the eye' attack. BOOM!

bfg leaps mountains with one effortless stride. KAPOW!

yeh they can be shitty sometimes, but high value orders they normally do their best. i never really care cos they are so cheap to start with, but just give them a bell and they'll send you're stuff out easy. you could even blag it and lie and end up keeping everything you've got already plus what you ordered, simpley becasue city link is so uber shite, so ebuyer would just thing they lost the parcels.

does not sure about the slutty bird :S how did that tv presenter ever get titmus though? oh and ashton pics are good too. :)
