  1. We have something special from where I am from.  A local restaurant, that is now growing to a chain, unfortunately makes these wonderful abominations:







    That meat is called steak on the menu... but I think it comes from the same kebab animal... Plus fries/coleslaw/tomato and other undisclosed ingredients.  Much like the pizzas described here, you eat one and your pretty much awaiting the 'return investment', like eating a transient or a drifter.. its only passing thru  

    But completely worth it... and will be todays lunch/dinner after looking for the pictures I WANT ONE

  2. Ok, chaps, going completely off topic here.. Sorry, never happen again..

    Just watched the new Top Gear Grand Tour and I have to say, being a huge fan of the TG, GT was like being with old friends.  They know they are not TG but they elude to it so often in GT that its like watching the old TG..

    Anyhow, watch it (if you can).

    Ah thank god we've turned the page on the bikinis...
    I'm not so sure. Derailments tend to escalate, so I shudder to think what the next one will be.
    We're on a new page now. Lets just forget about page 634 and never speak of it, nor visit it, ever again. 

    The ultimate troll would have dropped some pretty noteworthy and cryptic gossip there, you missed your opportunity there, guys.  But then again, Im glad you didnt :smiley:

    Hmmm... Road Book released on the same day as the Independence Day in Poland. Rally Poland confirmed for next game or polish cuisine in the playtest facility? xD
    It's also Veterans day in America, so I guess there could be a bunch of old dudes around. Personally wouldn't mind.
    I could mention something about the rally legend from the US that drove for Audi in the 80s.  Could be called a veteran.  Rally = <3

  5. Just to put some of the DiRT 4 focused stuff to rest.  Frankly we don't really know quite yet, here is why:

    This is from Eurogamer back in February 

    "And that, quite possibly, will be what's ultimately known as Dirt 4 - a game that's been teased while Codemasters experimented with the series, first with 2012's Dirt Showdown and then with Dirt Rally. Perhaps Codemasters is now ready to move on to the next big thing. 

    "For me, this is the fourth Dirt," Coleman originally said of Dirt Rally back when the project was first formally announced. "Naming aside, there are conversations going on at an executive level, and there's a sense that if we call it Dirt 4 are people expecting all the bells and whistles of a console product with all the production values associated with it. They want to save that name for that product."

    Codemasters aren't talking about Dirt 4 just yet, understandably, though they've clearly already got ideas for what it could be."


    Things change over months, especially names.  So it could very well be known as DR2 or if they add other disciplines to the mix (baja, dakar, or whatever) it will probably be DiRT4.


    PERSONALLY, I would like to see a split in the titles.  Keep both serious no BroMance to D2, but have DR2 as a pure stage rally title with special stages and hillclimb since its virtually the same racing only without co-driver.  Second would be D4 w/WRX, Baja/Dakar/Rally Raid racing, maybe some sort of stadium/trophy truck racing, also whatever you UK guys do with those big 'lory' trucks.


    I would only hope they could make them in parallel, but I don't want to speculate if thats possible.  However Grid and DirtX have been developed at the same time/same studio.

    Assuming fuel injection; on over run it executes fuel cut off (essentially) in neutral it obviously supplying idle amounts if fuel.
    How does engine braking kill your car?

    Never ride brakes, esp downhill, should be used after, or in conjunction with engine braking if possible, and  braking should  be intentional applications, not a constant use.
    I couldn't really tell you honestly. I've got something wrong with (Pretty sure) the exhaust, so engine braking and driving at low revs (under 2k) cause it to act up and bog down.
    And I don't want to ride my brakes, but other people force me to. The last 5 or so miles down the mountain didn't have any parking pulloffs, so unless I just wanted to stop in the middle of the road...
    Though some people are good about seeing someone come up behind them and pull off to let them pass.
    I drove up here once.

  7. Because I got bored of DiRT Rally, I am installing Colin McRae: DiRT, to practice for Australian Stages  :D , and to tackle some "new"(Forgotten) Stages with the S2000 Cars, also the EVO IX.
    A YouTube video with a physics mod tempted me LOL
    Hey man, this is the Pizza meat thread... go get your own if you want to talk about DiRT ;)

    Ok finally looked up this Kebab pizza, i dont lnow if this is an American Greek thing, but is this the same shaved meat that is on a gyro? 
    "Kebab" is actually a broad term for a number of meat dishes, though it is most typically associated with doner meat: donor is the big elephant leg of meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie. 

    Kebab pizza is a regular pizza with donor meat on top! 

    Ok thats what they use on the Greek sandwiches here.  Not sure what exactly the meat is on there, its just good.  Gyro probably means its spins.   it  I think they have a Gyro pizza here, maybe ask them to add pizza sauce on it and see what happens.

    To be honest, Ogier was the guy that won because Loeb left in the beginning.
    Seeing a lot of RX fans discuss a move to WRX from Ogier. It's where the big-name competititors are at the moment! Would love to see that happen. World Champions everywhere, especially if JB decides he fancies a pop at RX too.
    WRX: where retired WRC champions go... old folks home for WRC :wink:

    I wish I could be more of a fan .. my heart is in stage rally "its not the destination, its the road getting there"




    WRC: I hope everyone doesn't jump to MSport or DMack I really don't want to see more Fords out there.  Not hating on Ford, but they are over saturating the market.  Could we have Audi back or Nissan?  

    I would cry with Joy if Subaru could come back, too bad the rules keep the door shut on them.  Variety is nice, but its very expensive to manufactures and Subaru is doing very well without WRC.  


    Oh yeah, VW, I wonder if dropping out has anything to do with dieselgate?  There will be a huge chunk of change that will be paid out for that, and usuallys factory motorsports suffer first.
