[kennythebomb]

I'm not gay. Hence the wink smilie. Just clearing that up. And she doesn't lok like a man or you are retarded.

I know a retarded guy who is very proficient at differentiating between men and women - in fact - he likes best 1/2 asian 1/2 white women that are extremely hot.

Howzit people's

Been drifting around the forums for 2 years now, took part in a few GT3 races (with DS2 in those days), and got GT4 with DFP in a bundle when it came out in South Africa which was like friggin' 3 months probably after all you other people got it !

I'm 29, live with my girlfriend in our own townhouse (bought it 2 years ago), and my real car is a Audi A3 1.8T with chip software upgrade and cat back exhaust, becoming a ricer haha. But very proud of it in any case, costs me a arm and leg though.

Oh and I'm a male, doh ! 👍

[Speedy Samurai]

My name is Sydney and I am a Canadian living in Tokyo, Japan. Moved here to further my study of Japanese martial arts. I have been married for 1 month. And have a 4 week old kitten sleeping on me. I have been playing GT since the first inception and have just purchased myself a DFP (sorry to the missus, but I had to do it). Drove in the WRS sporadically starting with GT3 and seem to be middle of the Division 2 pack most weeks. I drink lots of water because I am always eating dust. Everyone drive safe and remember:

There is no replacement for displacement.

(sorry in advance for the lengthy intro...)

Hello hello, this is a good idea. I'm Kyle, still 20, looking forward to turning 21 in a few months... . Been playing the GT series ever since it came out. Didn't originally play GT1 much because I didn't have a PS1, but I loved it when I could play it, and I actually like a few of the features that it had better than any of the other GT series. Got into GT2 playing at friend's houses a bit, and then ended up getting my friend's old PS1 after it broke(and I fixed it). Then I got myself GT1, played it, then traded it in for GT2. Which I've played and beaten probably 4/5 times, but never could get it to 100%, I didn't know I was supposed to get all golds! Got a corrupt memory card on that pretty often if I wasn't careful, so much for having multi-millions and 100 cars. My favorite combo was the Subaru Legacy GTB wagon with racing modifications on Grand Valley, one of the Grand Touring races I think? Blue and yellow, awesome stuff!

Blah blah, played GT3 on my friend's PS2 over the years since it's been out, then finally got it earlier this year from my friend when he didn't want it anymore, got to somewhere around 68% and then GT4 came out. I've been borrowing it from a friend for the past month, and yesterday I had to return it to him, so no more WRS for me most likely for a while. And if I do submit something, it'll be only after a couple of laps, so nothing to write home about. :-\

And anywho, how I got here was by Pat, Tuff240, who will by my future roommate. I know him from the volvo forums that I frequent, and our Volvo 240GLT(in GT4) competitions on Turbobricks.com. One day he was without internet and asked me to log in here and see what the week's combo was... TT at the Ring. I was in.

So here I am. 20 yo male in Oregon. Not the latest picture, but close enough. I look the same:

My car is a 1968 Volvo 142

 

[yourlocalgod]

okay, so here goes...


hey guys whats up, im chris. im 24, and stuck in po-dunk arkansas. actually i live in a college town so it isnt that bad here, its not like deliverance or anything. currently i have 2 cars (an all time low for me lol) my daily beater is an 05 scion xB, and then i have my project car, which i will not post pics of or discuss until after this winter when it is done with all the paint and body work. i have been playing GT religiously since the release of the first one, and play that one until the new one comes out every time. i own a couple of other games, but just dont enjoy them nearly as much, and thus hardly ever play them. between my full time job, trying to start a business, my project car, and home life i dont have a WHOLE lot of time for this stuff, but i try my best, i am currently starting the SCCA World Touring Challenge series here on GTP, and cohosting it on gttimes, only 2 seats left to fill as of this writing, and am really looking forward to it. I am in Div. 2, and as soon as i can get some good solid seat time in (and a replay device) i will work my ass off to get into Div. 1. yeah so, i guess this has run on long enough. ill let it die now.

 

[fasj6418]

Hello everybody, i´m Francisco from Brazil, 22 years old, drive a toyota corolla in real life... my story with gt begins in 1998, when i saw on the cover of EGM... love at first sight

since then, i dedicated the majority of the time i played the game making time trials, testing and comparing cars... that made me a very good driver in gt and gt2... in fact, i was the top ranked driver for gt2 on racing-line by the time peaple were already playing gt3... they banned me from the site because i couldn´t send replays for them... can´t argue with them, just complain that i live here in south america...

you guys might think its improbable, but i didn´t have a PC until last year. I still don´t have internet at home, only at work... so, i´m still long ways to go before making replays... don´t even know how to do it... maybe in the future...

I´ve only got my ps2 last year, so i almost didn´t play gt3... now i´ve come to realize that I´M NOT THAT FAST ANYMORE!!! and a still have o lot to practice before i can be classified as a top driver for gt4... maybe i just lost it, still don´t know, only time will tell...

that´s my first week in WRS and it will be a bad one, because its on rally... div 2 driver... for now... 👍

Ah, another Audi owner. I have the rare (on U.S. soil) Coupé quattro, which I'm in the process (just starting) of converting it to S2 spec. I'm actually excited that we finally get the A3. Wating for the S3 though.

Hi bluerabbit7, you lucky bas@#$% , you drive one of the very finest cars in my eyes ! I've always been an AUDI fan, and also looked at those, but scarce as hell in South Africa as well. You have the 20V one ? Pushing out 200hp standard ? Very nice, I admire you alot !

My A3 is the 2001 (face lift) model, not the new shape. But I've got software chip upgrade (thru diagnostic port) and 63mm exhaust. Pushes out 190hp at the moment. Just need to do the suspension some time, much too soft for my liking. Send us a pic of your car !

Well I know the USA always struggle getting S cars ... but here in S.A. we get all the latest and nicest models, strange ... rumour has it the new S3 will be a RS3 with the 3.2 V6 engine and twin turbo !!!

OK, I am 25 ( 26 in a month ) Work in industrial sales in SouthWestern Ontario ( Close to Niagara Falls ) Married for two years...my wife works full time like I do, but is also getting her proffesional designation in Accounting at night, so that leaves me with plenty of GT time. I got on the GT bandwagon after GT2 came out, and haven't looked back since. Not greatly skilled with my Driving Force wheel, but I loev to race nevertheless. no kids, but a 4 year old Female German Shepherd ( Sheba ) both of the women in my life hate it when I race with the volume too loud. Just joined the SCCA World Touring Challenge series here on GTP series and its my first time in a 'league' so I am pretty psyched about it....Current ride is a 1991 Mazda 626 LX 5 door( 310'000 kms ), wife drives a 96 olds acheiva, but in the market for a new ride ( finaly making enough money to get a car worth talking about !! )

well thats about it, see you on the track !

 

[ZeratulSG]

Hi guys, my name is Steve, I'm 28 and I live in Cape Town, South Africa where I work as a software engineer. I was born in the UK, grew up in Vancouver Canada, and now I'm here I started playing games when I was about 9 on an original NES (the original Mario Bros. anyone?). Got into racing games on the PC with Test Drive and Need For Speed, but when I saw GT1 I fell in love. Never played more than a few weeks of #1, borrowed a friend's PS1 and played about 60% of GT2, then bought my PS2 specifically for GT3 and completed that one (in over a year ).

My RL car is a silver Mazda RX-8. I used to have a BMW 325i but decided against replacing it with the new shape...that new BMW designer should be shot (ducks flames). Besides, versus the 8 there's no contest Anyway, I'm a Formula 1 nut (and a Ferrari fan...not a great year so far ) and a general motorsport fan. I try to watch anything that comes my way, though we miss a lot of the bigger overseas events on TV here, as far as I can tell.

Okay I can't think of anything else, so that's it Oh yeah, forgive the WRS stats in my sig, no intended bragging, I'm still deciding if folks think I should remove it 💡

 

[ZeratulSG]

Hey kragbees, I test drove the new A3 3.2 Quattro, very nice car. Don't know about the new S3, according to Audi the 3.2 replaces the S3 marque this time around. An RS3 with the 3.2 engine and a twin turbo? Damn that'll be a beast Do you have a link to some info on it?

Hey! I had a German Shepherd named Sheba as well!
Actually, I've encounterd quite a few different types of dogs named Sheba...
and here I thought it was a pretty unique name!

 

[TwinTurboJay]

Yeah, so did I until I took her to the off leash dogm park and called when I went to leave..6 dogs came running towards me, 3 of them german shepherds too !

 

[Kolyana]

I'm not in the mood to type an intro ... those that care already know me.

Despised by many, ridiculed by others, loathed by the old and the wise.



EDIT: For those who don't know me.

My name is Natalya Faden, across between Russian and Anglo-Saxon; even though I haven’t got a Russian gene in my body.

I’m 37, but I act like I’m 27 … I don’t have children, I’m not married, and I swear that somewhere along the line I retarded 10 years mentally. I just can’t seem to grow up and settle down.

I’ve been playing computer games ever since a cousin introduced me to his ZX-81 (there you go, that’s dating me). I graduated from there to a Commodore 64, Commodore 128 and then the Amiga 500 range.

Throughout all of these I was heavily into ‘making them do things’, so I got into computer programming as well as gaming, combine this with the first releases of D&D and my descent into geekdom was complete. At school this made me somewhat the lank haired, Carrie-like individual everyone avoided, but nowadays it makes me popular with the boys

I have always been into ‘driving games’ for some bizarre reason I cannot fathom, starting out initially with a F1 game on the C64, but drifting away until a few years ago when I started buying every driving title available on the Xbox … seriously, I believed at one stage I owned them all, including Nascar and Indy titles. The reason for this was simple … I was chasing the perfect driving game and title by title, they were all falling short.

It was only when GT4 was released that I ever considered buying a PS2 and eventually it was two friends who talked me into it: PS2, GT4 and a DFP later and I have a very expensive game, but since joining the WRS I drive almost daily. I feel that my skills have improved dramatically (except in rallying ), and up until recently the social aspect of the WRS made the entire experience a daily joy.

I'm originally English - born and raised in the Roman town of Chester, England - then moved to the USA in 1998, because I've always fancied it. Stayed in Louisiana for six years, because I wanted to culture shock, had a WAIL of a time in Mardi Gras events (I have some incredible pictures of me in full Mardi Gras attire), and then eventually decided that the heat and humidity for no longer for me and it was time to move on.

Moved to Portland, Oregon only 6 months ago, driving all the way across country in my Mustang GT in just 3 days ... and let me tell you, EVERYONE needs to drive across country on their own at least once in their lives ... it's an enriching experience.

I love Portland, and it seems like there are a lot of guys from GTPlanet who live nearby, so we're talking about hooking up and hanging out, which will be fun.

And apparently my DFP in a rally combo annoys the heck out of my neighbor below me to such an extent that they continually knock on the walls for me to shut the hell up. It’s a distraction, but I’m working on pretending that it’s a mechanical problem under the hood.

i doubt anyone still holds grudges.

 

[standard235]

I also have a female german shepherd named Gracie. She is a New Year's Eve baby. She is almost 1.5years old. She is going to be bred and I get to keep a puppy.

Anyways, good to see everyone. good luck!

[LoveMyMiata]

Hmm, an intro. Ok, here goes.

Hi, my name is Mark and I stink at racing. Ok, maybe that gets me off on the wrong foot. I thought I was good, then I joined WRS! I've enjoyed auto racing for years and years, got a PS2 about 3 years ago or so purely because I saw GT3 in the store and had to have it. I stumbled across gtplanet.net a couple of weeks before GT4 WRS started and that's my first foray into this level of competitive racing (GT3 and GT4 AI opponents aren't real competition as we all know).

I'm married, have 4 kids, one of which is also a WRS racer (I Don't Know is my 14 year old son). I live to the west of Portland, Oregon, one of about half a dozen or so Oregon racers that I've counted so far. My biggest struggle with WRS is the time to be competitive. I simply don't have it, so I languish mid pack of division 3. But I'm still having fun, and that's the main thing for me.

My screen name is derived from what I drive, a '97 triple black Miata. It's a kick and every opportunity I have to drive the twisties, I take. One of my struggles in video game racing is not being able to translate to a video game wheel and TV screen what my butt, feet, and hands are feeling while I'm doing real driving.

I missed all the froo-froo that apparently happened here over the last several days since I've been swamped at work, but I've been around on the internet before even Al Gore knew about it (reading Usenet news since '84) and I'm well familiar with online flame fests. Glad I missed it. It's always important to remember there's a real person on the other side of your monitor.

It's a 20V but only 164HP. U.S. upgrade. LOL. I'll post a pic once I learn how to do it and remember. That RS3 will most definitely be badass. But 120% U.S. will be robbed from it.


NATALYA!!!!!!!!!!! *runs up and gives her a hug*

 

[McLaren]

Alot of you know me, and unfornately, I haven't had time to race in the WRS. Hopefully, I can still participate in it with the time I sent in to Kent.

Exams have kept me busy from the WRS, but now that summer has arrived, I hope to participate in many races.

This is why I brought my PS2 and GT4 with me to Vegas.
