Flipside :D

Tis fun, though...

She was the driver. She was a bit exhausted after 10 hours on the road... I guess I was just still wired from the win. :)

Post by: Nico on September 17, 2003, 06:31:25 am: ah, yeah, the Otakon... guess it's much bigger than anything we have here in france, maybe I'll get to go some day, when I'm older and rich :D

I'm gonna comment on the cosplay pics :D ( I like cosplay, I can't do it, but I like watching it :p ):
hargh, D is supposed to be handsome :D ( ok, that's often the pb anyway :p )
the guy under Fett is the dude from that game cube game, metroid prime, I believe.
Milly sure does seem too small :D
Lol, a female Vash :p

Post by: J3Vr6 on September 17, 2003, 02:00:41 pm: Max, you are my hero. Not for anything you do in FS or have done. But for this little bit of news... Rally is so grueling that it takes a certain character to do it. Congrats on your win!

Btw, where do you pee while you race? Just curious :D

Probably in a ditch or some convenient spot.

Post by: magatsu1 on September 17, 2003, 03:48:16 pm: I can't believe a Mustang's speedo only goes up to 120 !
my pesky little euro-box, shoppin' Trolly, Seat 1.6 (75bhp!) had the same "top speed" ! ( it was a little optomistic though)
Title: I won the R5 Road Rally
Post by: phreak on September 17, 2003, 05:41:07 pm: my escort's :nervous: speedometer (im not calling it a "speedo") goes to 120. i've had it to 105mph. the tires are rated for 110...

That also looks like a V6 'stang which may be understandable. My friend had his dad's '01 GT up to 140. it could have gone faster easily

Post by: Max Sterling on September 17, 2003, 07:36:45 pm: Yes, Otakon was fun...

where do I pee? Well near the end we were actually 20 mins AHEAD of schedule so we stopped at sheetz. :) We were shooting for an exact time (which we had to calculate as we drove from clues!)

And yes, its a V6 mustang. My stang goes up to 150 on the speedometer. I personally know it goes about 135 for sure ;)

"Euro-box"? Does that mean that it has a speedometer in KpH, whereas the Mustang pictured had it in MpH? ;)

Post by: magatsu1 on September 18, 2003, 04:15:39 pm: heh! 120 kph "top speed" ? that's, what, about 80 mph ?
got rid of that thing now, though
if you live in Blighty, PhReAk, you 'd probably be jailed for doin' that kinda speed. :nervous:
