Hello, I'm Patrick and I'm from The Netherlands.
I'm 18 years old and I like racing. It all started with Super Mario Kart for the SNES and I always tried to beat my older brother and when I did (quite often
) he was always nagging that he took corners too sharp. My passion grow and so I bought lots of Lego Technic cars to stay with the cars.
My brother bought a chipped PSX and we bought some games. I had to choose one and, ofcourse, I chose Gran Turismo. It was fantastic: me, the DS1, the tv and the PSX...noone could stop me from playing.
I did want more, so I lent someones GT2 and at the date I had to give it back to him, I 'forgot' to do that (I gave it to him the day after, but still, looks nice in this story
). I liked GT2 as well, especially the music in it. I never finished the game though.
My brother left the house and brought his PSX with him, so I was stuck with my N64 and F1 World Grand Prix, which was much less entertaining, because of the lack of any reality. I decided to buy a Playstation 2 in the end of 2003 and with Gran Turismo 3 attached to it. I also bought GT1 and 2, because that was normal in my eyes.
I was looking for information about Gran Turismo when I bumped to this site. I joined it on 16 July (in 2 weeks I'm already a member for a year!
) and well, it took me almost one year to find out that the Online Racing Forum was one of the best parts of this whole forum.
Anyway, bought GT4 a day before it was released in The Netherlands and I'm now part of the WRS. w00t!
