Filled up my car's tank today for the first time in a very long while. I've been biking just about everywhere, but it's finally snowed enough that I'll need a car. And it was oh so warm last week, too 
. $22 to fill the entire tank isn't too bad, though, especially considering how little I need to do it.

Something I've been waiting over 10 years to own 
... and finally I've bought one. It's a CRG Kalifornia kart, with a 125cc Leopard engine. Got it 2nd hand, at only 3 months old. I'm now about to join a karting club in WA (Clubman class), so I can finally make my start in motorsport. 👍👍 Can't wait for it to arrive!

Nice. Pity you've left it so late to make your mark. Like me, we've certainly got a lot of ground to cover when you consider Hamilton and fellow F1 drivers started karting at 3.

Where the hell are you getting all this money to buy this stuff? Loans? Parents? Some other unknown source of income I'm not aware of?

Are you sure?
Wait, I stand to be corrected. I swear someone once said it was three, but now Wikipedia is telling me eight years is the age he began karting. Atleast that means there is five years less to catch up with.

Is that online compatible? I think I might get that regardless. I liked the demo of Hot Shots Golf 3. It's so addicting.
It is and plays like a dream.
The lobby system (which is an actual club house with different floors and rooms - a kind of Hot Shots Home) and tournament set-up work very well and setting up quick matches with friends and others is quick and easy.
Here's what the lobby looks like...
...get a USB keyboard for chat - its much easier.
The only grumble I had was that I had to run two updates before it would go on-line (which you are prompted to do when you try and go on-line for the first time) and they rivalled MGO and GT5
for slowness. Took about an hour each, but once done its great.Strongly recommend

I have a job.
. The overall package is a bit over $8000, but I payed $4,500... which really isn't that much for a 3 month old italian-built kart.And yeah, shame I missed that 10 year gap. I've been playing Gran Turismo for a bit over 10 years though... so maybe that will have to make-do.

No body is ever to old to do anything, well in sports racing i have to agree, that experience is everything.

The last big thing I did was the trip to the U.S... and before that, nothing. Now I'm completely broke again
.True. Even though Formula one is way out of question, I'd still love to advance into bigger forms of motorsport, such as Formula Ford. The guy at work started when he was about my age also, and he currently races Historic Formula 2 cars. Even though it's not actually a motorsport career.

Even without the online modes and tournaments, the offline modes are fantastic as well, in fact I have not even got into online play yet, and I've had the game for many months.
BTW: Sprite is our resident Everbody's Golf 5 (Hot Shots Golf 5) expert, and started a dedicated thread in case you might be interested.

I guess it's a done deal. I'm going to get it the next time I stop at Game Stop. Yeah, I had Playstation Underground's Demo sent to me back in 2002 and I always played Hot Shots Golf 3. Just watching trailers of it, I'm already hooked.
Also bought this.

It's been going pretty well so far, I'm still getting used to have 180hp rather than 80, though 180hp still isn't much to some of you guys, compared to what I'm used to it's a Jet. I can actually overtake people now! I'm going to write up a thread once I get it all cleaned in and out and can take some decent pictures!
Though I had one problem yesterday, while I was sitting in the 48C-49C (120F) weather in peak hour traffic, the "Check Engine" light came on, I think it just had a fit in the heat, it's off today, but I'm still going to get it checked out, it's under warranty so it's not going to be an issue even if it is something wrong. The temperature gauge wasn't reading high though.
The manual is great though, reading what the "Check Engine" light means "The Check Engine Light indicates a malfunction may exist in the engine"...thanks.

As for my latest purchase, bought this book;
It's brilliant if you're a fan of the show, the emails 'sent' between Gavin & Stacey before they even met are a nice touch and the entire book fleshes out the characters even more than the show does.
