Right when can people participate in this?
I'm available most evenings apart from Tuesday and would like to organise 4-8 of us for some regular races for a few weeks, if people know what time maybe we can get a decent number.
So when is best for you?
I'm up for some action tonight probably between 6 and 8 :D
MB
I shall also be available tonight from 6.30 till 8'ish when I get fed :D

Seems a good time to me. Desmo said around 6.30 - 8.00 last night & it seemed a few others made it on around then as well.
I've sorted my Live out (I think) so I'll be on later. Be superb to have some regular fun & it's just what i need to get me into my sexbox properly. Was great to chat to Desmodude last night.
Cya later Race Fans ;D
Kin ell, There's me head down typing & he is here spamming already :p
Looking at my sig I think I'm all Golded up :party2:

Thursdays are out as it's out COD4 night, but more other nights assuming there isn't footy on either Tuesday/Wednesday I should be about for a couple of hours.

Just checked your profile on xbox.com and it's showing as gold on there :D
I'm available pretty much any evening as I can just rearrange when I go to the gym etc. Would be great to get 8 of us in two teams of 4. The race last night was just one big destruction derby! Can you do 4 teams of 2? That'd be cool as well.

Coolio.
Not only do i have Gold but i also know what error code 8016aba5 means & how to sort it. It actually comes back as Not having certain personal details but you don't get to access those boxes via the sexbox only when you redeem via .com
Pass it on Dudes & Cheers again Daz. I was just going down town to get my 40 quid out & I could really do without spending 40 quid on a Wednesday.

One gametype that goes down well on PGR3 was Cat & Mouse, I hope 4 has it.
1 in the Mouse car a slower car & 3 in fast cars on each team. The cats ram the mouse on the opposing teams & the Mouse have to try to win the race. Awesome fun & a chance for the slower guys to get fully involved in the race as nobody gets left way at the back on there own.
Am well looking forward to racing no matter what the type though, I'll be ****e just bouncing of the walls & that, My Thumb hasn't quite got used to going around bends at over a ton yet :D
This is definitely in PGR4. Saw it last night but we didn't play it. :)

Cool.
A few rules for everyone to remember then.
Cats Cannot cross the finish line Before there own mouse.
The Object of the game for cats is to Ram & Block the Opponents Mouse, Teams are Coloured Red & Blue so naturally Red cats steam the blue Mouse & the Blue Cats steam the Red mouse.
Both Mouses just have to race as fast as they can & try to beat each other across the Finish line.
Mouses are Usually Group C cars & Cats are Group A.
The Heavier the Mouse car the better rather than fast & nimble as you won't get away from the cats often so you need something that can take a spanking.
It is obviously best if the fastest guys take the Mouse cars & the not so fast guys take a Cat car.
I've had great fun online with just randoms with this so us lot should have a Blast.
We can just play it by ear though obviously & do whatever anyone else wants to do but C & M is definately worth a try.

No point Matt.
It said to me Hinckley didn't have it but Nuneaton did so i reserved it. I didn't get to go over to pick it up so next day whilst walking past Hinckley branch i chanced it, Guess what they had it, **** would have had me driving all the way over to Nuneaton for nowt. I got another copy from the same shop the next day an all, That system is Bogus.
It's no prob anyway is it Dave as Argos is in the Arcade which is linked to the multi story car park. Parking up, one flight of stairs pay & go, JD.
Hope you get it, The more the merrier :cool:

I was quite impressed when I used the system because I just typed in my reserve code paid on my card and it was at the desk straight away, I think they move the reserve stuff straight down to the desk so its ready for collection but if your that close then its not an issue :)

I could conceivably go to the Nuneaton branch since I work near there, but that would mean actually going into Nuneaton which I try and avoid like a crazy stalker ex girlfriend (yes, I've had one of those).

If you go to Nuneaton don't forget to buy some fairy Liquid, pull the top off & sling it in the fountain as you go past, Winner every time & stops traffic for around 2 hours ;D
Cost them 280k or summit that fountain but add a quids worth of Fairy Liquid & it's worth every penny :evil:
In our store Matt the games are kept in a cupboard right behind the counter (have scoped it out can't help myself Sorry :o) So there is no waiting. You get your number which is about 6th then get shouted around 2nd so no real waiting.
If i was you mate I'd go to the Nuneaton one first as you are passing there, Get a copy, Tamper with the Fountain, Take pics for thread on return.
You''ll get a copy then as if they are out you can fly into Hinckley for a quick Park, Buy & Go Deal.

SLINKY MATE WHERE ARE YOU !!!
Will have to get me old original COD clan member on PGR4, He's around here somewhere, SLINNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!

I've a spot of Business to attend to tonight but I will be on, I'll just have to pop off & back when i need to. Shouldn't be to much bother.
Personally i am going to settle in to it tonight & have no other plans after my spot of Business, it's just typical that i have one or two people passing by around 7ish. I plan on taking Full advantage of Live though now i have it i will be on it daily at some time or another :cool:

Right that's me I'm off on my sexbox, I'll hang about & chill on there & don't forget I am a Pauper so if on my sexbox my system is off as i swap the lead. Also don't expect long typed chats as i use headset & have no chat thingy for my box.
Woooohoooooo in a bit chicken **** ;D
Belmit you helmit......in out in out shake it all about. You coming and staying or what? ;D
Me neither. Keeps saying 'Unable to communicate with all players'. Tried about 20 times now. :(
Argos in town didn't have any :( that means popping into Nuneaton tomorrow morning.
Had to reset my hub to factory settings, but NAT now appears as Open instead of Strict. Hopefully it should work now! Apparently the BT homehub downloads its own firmware updates and sometimes just sets it to Strict. Pain in the arse.

Excellent, The more the Merrier :cool:
I need to get some serious practice in before racing anyone on live, or I can just do a couple of races and take my chances :D
do a couple of races and take my chances :D
This. :D
Don't worry about being fast, just make sure you have a laugh. I'm not that great at this but we had a blast last night :D
Cool, if anyone is around I should be online from about 7-7.30 ish, depending on what time I eat and take the dogs out.
I couldn't prize the kids off the telly last night but will try again tonight if it happens again..

;D You are Kidding right !!!
I am Nub, Old & Messed up most of the time, The only practise you will need is with the menu ;D
We played some races last night & some cat & mouse, We can alter car groups & handicap the fast boys & it don't matter how fast/slow you are in cat & Mouse.
It's all about Fun & I had Serious amounts of fun last night.
Not normal amounts of fun by the way Serious Amounts ;D;D

21-02-2008, 17:04
Just thinking about the racing.
When we get on if we can Handicap race then us slow boys (me) could enjoy the racing as much as the C & D.
All we have to do is all start in Cat C & then the two slowest go Cat B. Or whatever way it goes to mix it up a bit :cool:
Shouldn't take us Nubs long to get up to speed once we are racing regularly :)
I shouldn't have any interruptions tonight either, last night was an unusually busy night for me but a One off.
