Your XBox doesn't let you add custom car models, apache helicopters, whole new islands, improve the graphics with entirely new textures, or transform the game completely :P

No... but it works

It works same way for pc as a standard game, but it will be 100 times superior to Xbox version. On pc you can do so much with gta 4. Check some YouTube videos.
Changing car models is only 1% of mad stuff you can do with gta4. Just with few mods you can completely refresh dated graphics of gta 4 to look like game fr the future. ( just have enough horse power in pc )

I really hope this time rock star won't use games for windows crap and make it mode mod friendly. Because ATM you almost have to pirate your legitimate copy to be able to mod it.

Damn m8, I am sorry to say this, but you have way too much free time. You need that thing.... What you call it... Feck... I just had ..... Aaaaaa yes! You need a WOMAN! So you would not be able to have fun anymore!!!!

I haven't played gta games in ages. It's a shame gta4 has to be so Anal for modding. Some of the car models are just unreal. I finally got a pc that can handle gta 4 and all the eye candy mods, but I just could not be fecked to redownload gta 4 and play with those mods.

Waaaaaaay ahead of you.... My ladyfriend sometimes plays san andreas on my pc

Ironically, that's the first time since december I actually played it! I prefer the real thing though such as the cars, the food and the hot coffee mod :pac::pac::pac:

Thats actually wrong because that defaults to US gallons. The real answer is 25.4 mpg.

Got an exam for a Public Service job in an hour, or at least reg' is in an hour.
It's mostly on Irish political history... Not a chance in hell but sure, here's to doing my best!

This being a motoring forum, if I get this job I can finally get my car on the road!

Can anyone explain what "Gas" is for a car. Like you see on tv."I gotta stop for gas..." Is it another name for petrol? Im guessing its a liquid and not a fuel in gas form?

Its short for Gasoline and it's what Americans call petrol.

No, I'm not, I was thinking that. You see I seen this.

But why convert a petrol car to a car that takes petrol and gas, if gas is petrol?

Here that would be LPG
Pressurised gas in liquid form.

I'd imagine a 1.6 leon converted to gas wouldn't pull a slippery stick out of a dogs hole!

Drove the Corolla home from Bandon on Sunday, was well impressed with the petrol :eek:

.facebook_364642360.jpg

The needle was every so slightly above the full marker, she was fairly empty when I filled her up did approx 35km on the yellow light, she took approx 42 litres and it cost me €70.

So from looking at that I will defo get a return journey to Cork and maybe even 1 / 2 trips out Bray midweek as well so it's a big difference.

Car is nice enough to drive, I am liking being able to go over ramps and up on paths

Next Tuesday she will be getting some tlc gonna valet the whole inside of it, shampoo the seats, change the plates and spray the wheel trims silver again make her look a little bit presentable!

Meant to post these up for ages now, thanks to Jimbob for showing me how to!

This was at the mini-motors meet in August, with the 159, Gollywog's pink GTI and Andy's Rice Rocket. They look well IMO!


This was a photo from the summer, look beyond the hideous parking and it's not too bad...:D


Up in Killiney hill yesterday. Ended up seeing a double of mine. Exactly the same except his was absolutely filthy. I thought it was a good photo oppurtunity..:pac:



And from the behind


Enjoy

dgt

That ain't filthy.... :pac: is your car lowered a teeny bit?

I can rest assured there will never ever be a carbon copy of any of the long timers, especially the blue van

Many a 406 in silver about though :pac:

The one beside it was fairly wrecked alright... MM would have cried the amount of swirling on it..

That your asking has my car been lowered must show how farked the suspension is... It's never been lowered!

You'll never get another van like yours though...:cool:

Just remember that Petrol needles don't fall in a linear way. It wont move much for the first while and then it will drop quickly. See below for more info if your interested

Yeah she stayed at full for ages then started dropping, she was pretty much the same position when I used her again last night. Be interesting to see how many miles I manage to get from the full tank.

The 156 and 159 estates are utterly gorgeous. We had a 156 face lift estate in the family for a couple of years. One of the most comfortable cars we had and stunning in black.

That alfa is such a sexy car alright,
Gorgeous front end and the interior is great aswell

For 166man and dgt! :P

Bandon would be 180 mile trip for you? Probably do 420 miles to a tank including a bandon return trip if not straying above the limit.

188 to be precise. Yup didn't once go over the limit on the way home. No point there is no thrill out of it!
