Desrats Weekly :)

[desrat]

Friday night as usual, McLaren dealers at the top of the map, time 8 PM GMT (thats 9pm in the UK) this week will once again be a return to G Class vehicles.

[F_Slim]

So it's 10 pm CET. I'll try to be there.
H-Mode or Arcade?

[desrat]

I'll be running H-Mode but the choice is yours mate

[Devilbound]

I'll try n to be there, I'm not sure if I can make it thou.

EDIT: Just woke up and it hadn't come to my mind yet that I'll have to go help my buddy with his place/ his summer-vacation (I suppose he got lots of excess beer :)), so I fear I shall only be attending the forums for a few days :cry2:

Happy cruising all!!! :salut2:

[desrat]

Different groups have different wants and thoughts about crusing so does that mean we cant host ours on a friday because another group might be doing the exact same thing on the same day? I think not... :)

[lujjaTCM]

I think i'll drop by.. though tomorrow i have to wake up at 4.00 AM GMT.. man, im gonna be like a zombie.. :rolleyes:

[desrat]

[JamesRance]

Dam it! i read ur previous post at 21:50pm uk time. but i thought that i was to late so i didnt bother going on test drive.

[F_Slim]

Maybe we should start planning tomorows weekly cruise today?

The usual time, the usual place?
9 pm BST (that's 10 pm CET) at the McLaren-Dealer?

(Though I wouldn't mind to start an hour earlier)

What's this weeks theme?

[desrat]

well Im going to Donnington on Saturday so I'll only be around till 10 - 11 at latest (have to be up at 6am) but I will be around early too from about 8pm so maybe we should start early..

[F_Slim]

Are you going to the Racetrack? (What's driving?)
10-11 pm is always a good time to quit for me as well, so ... start at 8 pm BST?

Still have to pick cars. How about D-Class? Or "Indepents"? Or another legendary Firebird-Cruise? ;)

as I said before Im going Saturday, mainly cos the tickets were free :) but should be a good day out for me and my son...

[F_Slim]

Oh yes, I've heard about these Renault-events. They've also been on the Nürburgring, but I couldn't make it. The Megane-Trophy is known to be an exciting series! And exhibition of historical racecars is always great. I'm sure you and your son will have great time there! :)

[Kid_Wild]

Hey all friday cruisers...

What about a cruise tonight? Aren't you guys up for that? :bravo:

[desrat]

Ill probably be around at some point tonight, Ill post again later just before Im about to login and anyone is more than welcome to join me :)

[Jjustme]

Can I join? Kinda new to this. I got a G25 manual. If I'm allowed is it hardcore mode? And can you tell me the car criteria.

Is your TDU connecting to the tdu servers. Mine still isn't. I'm in the UK (Just incase :) )

[desrat]

Well I never actually made it, I decided to hit some Swat4 as there was an unusualy large number of my clan members around last night so apologies to anyone who was waiting. I will be heading online in 10 mins tho and Ill be around the race track..

[desrat]

well thats that idea screwed as i cant log on anyway..

[desrat]

This week will mark the return of our cruise. Friday the 9th of November at the McLaren dealer around 9pm (UK). We will be restricing to European cars please so Mercs, Astons, Audis etc. See you then...

[Devilbound]

Ahh, the return of Desrat's! Excellent! tup: I'll try to come, but not sure if I'm awake then anymore.. Been waking up early lately, and that is midnight here.. Or one hour after? I really ain't good with timezones... lightbulb :aie:

[randomus_r]

I think you're an hour ahead of us, Dev.
My post's around about 21.40 in the UK. The timestamp on my post will show in your timezone, so work it out from there :p

[Igla63]

I will come, and try to stay till the end (let's hope that tdu will love my momo :hin: )

[Devilbound]

Oh okay, it would be 2 hrs then... I'll propably botch it up nonetheless.. But 23:00... Then I might be able to make it :)

[desrat]

[Devilbound]

Oh, thanks mate! :respect: :bravo:

Now I just might get my times correct from here on now! :laugh: tup:

So it's at 23:00... I will try to make it, that's a promise. I think I might be able to stay up for some time after 23:00, but not many hours, I fear.. :salut2:

[desrat]

just a quick bump to remind people about tomorrows cruise..

[ozzmcom]

[Devilbound]

[F_Slim]

I'm confused: when is the start-time?
Desrat said 21:00 UK, that's 22:00 CET!

[Devilbound]

[F_Slim]

[randomus_r]

Alcoholics :p

[kalniel]

If my hand's recovered I'll try and make it :)

[randomus_r]

What happened to your hand?

[kalniel]

It stopped a door that had just been blown through its frame by 70mph winds from smashing into my head :p

[Andreaz1]

*Blows on kalniels hand :p*

[randomus_r]

It stopped a door that had just been blown through its frame by 70mph winds from smashing into my head :p

Should've left it to hit your head :p ;)

[kalniel]

Should've left it to hit your head :p ;)
:( That wasn't very nice. I hope your profile corrupts :p

[randomus_r]

It already has :cry: I love you really, kal :p

[Andreaz1]

You just want the mods to hate you, dont you Randy? :p

[randomus_r]

Me? I'd never do such a thing :angelnot:

[desrat]

well we had a good session and the theme seemed to be spectacular crashes :) unfortunately I didnt get any pics for y'all but Im sure that Valor did maybe he'll post somthing up soon..

[Night_Fusion17]

It was good fun for the 30 minutes I was there. Then I got the dreaded "Network Connection Lost" and then couldn't re-sync with anyone.

So then I casually drove around some areas unlocking some more roads (currently at 88% found) until my clutch pedal decided it no longer wanted to work right.

I've only got one screenshot, and that was during the mayhem at the lighthouse. I'll upload it tomorrow, as imageshack hasn't sent me the registration email yet.

www.photobucket.com is a better image host (imo)

[Devilbound]

I'm sorry I couldn't participate..:(.. I was just way too drunk... :noooo: :o

[Devilbound]

When's the next one? :hin: I'd like to bring one of my Enzo's again, and this time, drive it too! lolblue:

[F_Slim]

well we had a good session and the theme seemed to be spectacular crashes :)
Yeah, sorry rolleyesa
I was driving in GT-Legends a lot lately, and you have to drive completely different in TDU (specially H-mode). Also I've been driving a G-class for 2 hours before and then switched to the TVR for the cruise, but still drove like I'm in the Camaro ... or in GT-Legends, and both didn't work too well :nuts:

It's hard to catch up by the way, as long as you are in the group everything is more or less ok, but once you get hit by one of the traffic-cars and fall behind, there's traffic all over the place, making it real hard to follow up again ... guess next time I'll switch to n00b-mode for the cruise, my driving really sucks when I'm tired.

[Night_Fusion17]

Turns out that it wasn't your cruise :nuts: . It was at the club nearby, and it was at 8PM (GMT). randomus_r, Destroyer-GT and Devilbound (who was slightly drunk then) to name a few were there.

Anyways, I signed up to photobucket, as imageshack still havent sent the email.
So here's the only pic I took of the wrong cruise.

[Devilbound]

Yea, we had that soutch-coast chapters opening just prior to Desrats cruise :). Wow, we look really organized in that piccy... lolblue: :laugh: :salut2:

[Night_Fusion17]

The first few minutes of everyone arriving there were worse than that, then when everyone started to calm down, randomus started climbing rocks...

[F_Slim]

hmm ... I was at the opening too, then we went to the northern clubhouse, and then everybody disapeared :noooo:

[Destroyer-GT]

lol me in that pic. typical me :)

[Devilbound]

Yea, fun piccy!:)

I know where I disappeared at the northern chapter: I accidentally entered the club... :o

Actually surprising it didn't happen even earlier, considering the condition I was in... lolblue: tonguegre

[randomus_r]

The first few minutes of everyone arriving there were worse than that, then when everyone started to calm down, randomus started climing rocks...
That's my special rock I get on when I'm bored, and watch the n00bs in saleens fail miserably in their attempts to push me off :nuts: :p

[Hassoun_mk]

Speaking about Rock climbing ... I AM the best ... the proof ...
