View Full Version : Mingers Parade - Class C/D - Thursday 2nd April 19:30BST
DATE IS CHANGED TO: Wednesday 1st April 19:30BST
Ok so here's the deal, modify your character's appearance in the most outlandish way possible, not just clothes but hair and face too (anyone who remembers "Theme Hospital" think "BloatyHead Disease"), then bring your favourite open top Class D or C car to ride the wild hills of Oahu whilst looking like a complete muppet!
Meet up at the Northernmost Paint Shop then FTL from there.
CRUISE TYPE:Follow The Leader Style (whomever is in front at a junction chooses the direction) starting from the Paint Shop on the North East side of the Island.
LIGHT ROAD RULES: - which means staying in the right hand lane when not overtaking, no dangerous overtaking or forcing AI cars off the road, no intentional ramming or crashing (of either AI or other player's cars) but you don't have to stop at red lights.
SPEED LIMIT: No speed limit but try and keep all cruisers in your GPS, if you lose the back markers, slow down.
CAR RESTRICTION: Any open top Class C or D
Colster(C0L573R) - Porsche Boxster
duke227 - VW W12 Roadster

It's that worrying smile he has. The one that says (in the style of Joey from Friends)... "Hey.. how YOU doin'."
Is the Weissman a C or a D class? I'll check that out after some breakfast.
ooo torn between the RUF and Lambo
plus i don't like modifying my character but what the heck eh?!
Gallardo for meee
That's quite enough Lambos, you can also have a TVR Tuscan and iirc one of the Lotus' is open top (?Elise)
well my tuscan is a supra atm, and the elise wont keep up with the rest of the pack, if you want me to change il take my tuscan(supra) if you like

I like the Lotus Elise and I haven't driven one for a long time. I'll swap from the Weissman if no-one else wants the Elise. :respect:
And if you haven't tried the Weissman then I suggest you go give it an, erm... Test Drive! It'll surprise you. Not too shabby with a top speed of around 170mph, and the handling is excellent. Good for drifting too.

No I just meant no more Lambos please

April Fool! Colster's only kidding. Nah, seriously I've no problem with Wednesday. That's a fine by me. :)
ohhh i remembered that my weissman is a Z4 tonguegre
il be taking that then if pogo is changing
wed is good for me too!
Wednesday is OK for me. Can`t decide on car. Don`t like the TVR (poor handling) or Elise (too slow). Never tried a Weissman.

Hey, La Foxie (hi!) - you could *cough* mod it *cough* to a Honda S2000. I know you play the game as vanilla flavour unlike me, Dan, Ryzza, LF and so on but it looks schweet on the RUF Spyder and it might work for the Tuscan. :)
OK. It has to to be the DB9 Volante for me.

Tom already bagged that, how about a Maserati?
OK. W12 for the Duke :salut2:

Put me down as reserve, I'll try and arrive before 8ish, if there's a space. That's if the servers let me sync to people in my friends list, which they haven't for two weeks :cry:frownblue, otherwise I may have to turn up in an alternate profile with no friends list which is the only way I can drive with people now.
I'll be in a Tuscan. Which my boss reliably informs me is a terrible car with poor build quality eekblue:. He now drives a 911. :Bla: I know which one I would rather have.
Duke, nearly wet myself when I saw your pic :laugh:, I shall take inspiration.
Edit, just noticed Foxie above me in a Tuscan, if you want us in different cars, then, a Maserati, Tuscan if you don't mind duplicates.
pogostickio
01-04-2009, 13:48
there are two Maserati's so why doesn't someone pick the 90th Anniversary model and the other guy (Hi Doobrie!) pick the other one.
And yeah, Duke, it's a shame I'm sat at my office desk otherwise i'd still be laughing out loud at your guys huge chin and pinnochio nose. I wasn't speeding officer :), no i'm not lying! lolblue:
looking forward to this one. And Doobrie, I'll be on from 7pm till 7.30pm at Makapu point (SE lighthouse) so if you have to use your alternate profile (death baby.... at the wheel!) then come connect and I'll add you as a friend. I'll have X-Fire and MSN on too. Pogostickio be thy name. Schweeet! :respect:
and I'm surprised no-one's picked the Spyker. weirdblue
and I'm surprised no-one's picked the Spyker. weirdblue
..me too, as it's a minging car it would suit this cruise :wink2:
I'm confused as to where you mean! help!
Great cruise guys, will post up my pics tomorrow. Thx for coming

Out-fu..flipping-standing cruise. Three hours long. (Starting to get RSI in my accelerator and gear-up fingers though. It hurts.) Good fast driving. Great looking avatars as well. I only adjusted nose and ears, and bleached my hair. Wish I hadn't chosen the Spyker. Think it's the same one I drove for my first ever cruise, still painted red. (Colster endurance cruise, red or black cars) The Spyker understeers badly, but the back wheels bounce up and down all the time, so when accelerating you hear the revs shooting up and down, then it spins violently. Also had a noticeable lack of Pogo again, completely invisible to me, kept seeing gaps tho' and figured it was him. We're both thinking about doing bike cruises for Fri and Sun. Anyone interested?
Post piccies in a while, think I got everyones face. Nice outfit too Colster, got a glimpse of those stripy trousers when you paused next to me in a jump.

in total agreement, that was an excellent absofruitly brilliant cruise. then Mekanicaljesus pops up on msn (and then Ryzza @ work) and here I am at 1.10am. And I got work tomorrow, I mean today. sheesh! haha.
I'm right now uploading the big pics to photobucket so lets hope the auto resizing doesn't make them too blurry. will upload at lunch tomorrow.
thanks guys. lots of fun. yeah, doobrie, we rocked the roads for a little while after we finally sync'd. shame about the lack of a solid connection but you were there. I'm sure the pics will be my evidence. -//- was next to your name until I changed car near the end. we'll get it right. defo.

Nicely guessed Tom, who says educational standards are slipping?
Anyhoo, my pics.
Hey kids! Lets play spot the Pogo! He's definitely in here somewhere, but where. (Just like where's Wally)
I wondered why this car was up here, now I know why after seeing the other pics.

You got to admit though, after 10 pints of beer, you would, wouldn't you? No? Ah.

You'd be surprised by how much they are, Doob :)
