UKGTP8 - The Ocho

[Hugo Boss]

I have some german blood in me to throw in the mix



Look who's talking (sais someone who doesn't like beer ).
But it's a known fact that Belgian beer is better.

Yes, that's why I want you to bring some

On another note: I think Sjaak can bring his nurses uniform too 👍

 

[Mark T]

Jesus the attendees list has had a hefty increase since I last looked in here.

I will also be able to bring an additional copy of GT4 and a memory card for those that might need them. I'm also bringing my X-Port and laptop for some save game sharing.

Buying rounds at the pub should be interesting with the numbers we have.

Can anyone say "endurance national championship"?

Teams for the endurance to be made up of nationalities/regions, not the usual rankings based teams. Chris, Ron and myself for the Scots, etc.

 

[Sjaak]

I also note a shortage of memory cards. I'd presume that everyone who has a PS2 and a GT4 has at least A memory card. These things are vital - memory card = LAN. No memory card = NO LAN.

The intention of us is to bring a lan complete set,thus also with the 6 cards.

Powerboxes/cables to connect the lan is part of it.

And concerning the TV's,I'm sure you Brits can arrange that.
Ask family and friends to borrow a nice big telly.👍
Racing on a to small screen is no racing.

Hi Everyone im Mike and i live in Derby near Notts and i would love to have the chance to come down and attend if only to watch. I had the great honour of going to the Dutch lan this year at Jan's with Sjaak, Ruud and Hugo. Some of the best racing iv ever had even if i did get it handed to me lol. I don't want to miss opportunity to Greet my Dutch friends to our sores.

Things i have if you need them:
ps3 x1
ps2 x1 (slimline)
ds2 x1
gt x1
memory card x1 (now i killed one)
Tv dvd combo 14" x1
DFP x1

Im sorry but im not risking my New hd lcd 32" tv in my car lol plus it won't fit

Cheers Mike

 

[DustDriver]

If i can get a ride with our dutch friends i could bring a small 14'' tv (i think it is 14'')
It only has a cable and a strange video input (really old), and no headphone exit.
But it does his job good enough. I have it here in my room and the image is clear enough to play on.

That's a fine plan, until you put Hugo Boss, sjaak68 and AMG. in a car together (I've not seen Jan or Ruud driving, so can't comment on their abilities).

I'm really starting to panic. I haven't played GT in around 5-6 months. I really need to get some practice in if I'm going to compete with the rest of the GT folk.

I thought it was all about fun, Famine?? But it sure seems you want to win

Jan and Ruud have about the same speed as Sjaak. So I think the Dutch would make a very strong team indeed if we decide to go for an endurance national championship.

The endurance is held at the end, isn't it? We can always use the then current standings of the individual championship and use that ranking to create 'equal' teams. Things will be mixed up nationality wise, but will keep all teams closer together on track during the endurance race.

 

[DustDriver]

That's how we did it last time, but it also depends on the race itself how good the teams are
(except the team with Vexd in it, he is just to fast )

I will compete if there is room but if not then im good just to watch a say hi.

Go up against me, I've never even played it before! Heck, i've never seen the game before!

 

[Mark T]

That's a done deal. I tell you what, we'll make things a bit more interesting, say £50 per race goes to the winner.

 

[Venari]

We're still in need of TVs, so anyone who has a LCD TV they can drop into their rucksack, please do so. We're 5.5 TVs short right now (4.5 if the venue is dark enough to utilise Venari's projector)... So *begins Telly-thon* give as much as you can.

Hmm. I could try my hand at borrowing some?

I also note a shortage of memory cards. I'd presume that everyone who has a PS2 and a GT4 has at least A memory card. These things are vital - memory card = LAN. No memory card = NO LAN.

I have two for ritual sacrifice. Stick 'em on the list.

(except the team with Vexd in it, he is just to fast )

Speaking of VEXD... he posted today (nurse's uniform, hmmm) but he;s not on the list of attendees. Mister VEXD, sir, you are joining us, yes? Or did I miss a post where you said you could not attend?

 

[Queen Bee]

That's a done deal. I tell you what, we'll make things a bit more interesting, say £50 per race goes to the winner.

I'm up for that. But, where's this £50 coming from, your pocket i hope?

 

[Hugo Boss]

You call playing for money more interesting? You don't play for money against a girl, be a gentleman . I never poker for money either when girls take part...

 

[Mark T]

I'm being hustled. This ends here, I'll race you but not for money....

I am a gentleman, which is why I suggested only £50. I haven't played in such a long time I think Queen Bee might tear me apart.

 

[Mrs. Famine]

I have a luccudatuv I can bring with me or send with a participant if need be. I do have a CRT telly in the garage as well which died the other day but i'm sure it's only to do with the on/off bit of it.
If there are any TV repair men kicking about, then I can send that TV along as well.

 

[Queen Bee]

You'd probably be able to beat me with your eyes closed! I drive so slow, because i'm scared to crash! Seriously, Ask Bee how fast i drive when i play LFS. I usally keep the pit lane limiter on! But sometimes i'm daring on the pit straight and take it off! 👍

 

[Venari]

I never poker for money either when girls take part...

I better fix that... you never play poker for money...

 

[AMG.]

Equipment thus far
17x Memory cards (Bee, Bookerman, daan x2, dustdriver, EXelero, Famine x3, Mark_T, Milford Cubicle, nige x2, Roo, Specialized, Sureshot x2)

Equipment I will bring:.......2x Memcard........AMG.

 

[AMG.]

......Things will be mixed up nationality wise, but will keep all teams closer together on track during the endurance race........

No way, if the "Islanders" want a fight they can get it.

They started talking NATIONAL

endurance. I've never been nationalistic and definitely not for NL, which I don't regard as my home country anyway but in this case I'll make an exception.

AMG.

Edit: apologies for 2x post

 

[Hugo Boss]

Thanks! Being no native English speaker I learn a lot spending some time on the forum


@AMG: Let the Islanders decide Either is fine by me 👍

 

[Queen Bee]

But i'd let England down. I don't want that responsibility resting on my shoulders!

Yeh, we don't need that bit.

 

[EXelero]

I'm assuming that Queen Bee hasnt read the results threads from these things before, or she'd have no reason to doubt her own abilities over the other 3 ladies who attended the last lan!!!!
It tends to be the girls who come last!!! (apart from the queen of gtp herself Lotus!!) you'll fit right in!

 

[daan]

It tends to be the girls who come last!!!

Yep, that's life...

[EXelero]

You go away for the week hoping things will return to normality upon your return, but no such luck! Actually its refreshingly reassuring!!

Sets the scene for what looks to be the best lan yet!

I'm getting increasingly concerned along the accommadation situation, i hope theres enough beds cos i for one am not up for sharing!!!
