You know, I still hate the sound of the SLR. From the cabin, it's great, but from the exterior, it sounds like a wet fart going through aluminum tailpipes. I mean, for $300,000, I want a car that sounds like a Carrera GT, or a Ferarri 512TR, or an Aston Martin DB9. THOSE are awesome sounding cars, not the SLR.

dukenukem · May 20th, 2004, 04:43 AM

what are you talking about !!!!! SLR sounds awesome man....and if i were to pay $ 300000++ i would want my car to sound good to me when i m drivin it ..and not how it would sound to the poor lil fuckers standing on the road .. images/smilies/tongue.gif

That just not look very good....

Just means one of the 1000 or so parts of the file it downloaded downloaded wrong and so it's gonna redownload that part. Nothing to worry about. images/smilies/wink.gif

Zuhaib · May 20th, 2004, 06:10 AM

Thanks.. Yeah, this download i must say is the slowest to date for me..
I have been dowloading this file since last night so its almost been 24 hr and i am 83.3% done.. Ugg.. This one better be worth it!
Funny part my %U/D is around 70%

Zuhaib · May 20th, 2004, 07:47 AM

Wohoo! I just got done and this was a great... Did not watch the interview but the part where they messed with Richard just had me on the floor. And the black car also.
I cant wait to see the GT3 RS and i can die a happy man =D

GRIN · May 20th, 2004, 07:47 AM

Zuhaib,

where do you live?
Caus your speed problems must be something with the peering to your country (bad peering, data has to go through slow networks i.e. the speeds from Holland to (some parts of) Sweden are very low due too sucky peering.) Caus i got the file with 300k+ (and yes, i seeded it for 2 hours @ 400-500k).

My avatar scary? Wait till you see my face. images/smilies/tongue.gif

My offer to seed/ upload/ what-so-ever still stands.

Greetings,

GRIN

<edit> p.s.
i resized my avatar </edit>

Zuhaib · May 20th, 2004, 07:49 AM

Hey Grin, well thanks man but just few seconds after someone got on to re-seed and i was done. I will be re-seeding it tonight as i want to give my laptop a rest and my server is not setup with BT (it runs Linux). I hope to re-seed by 2m

I am in the US, San Francisco, CA. So i have no idea what went wrong. Ususally i also get dl's pretty quick.

SiR_dude · May 20th, 2004, 10:14 PM

Grin - I like the size of your avater better now. And that makes me curious, what does your face look like ? images/smilies/tongue.gif

Raider · May 21st, 2004, 12:30 AM

i liked the first episode better, the nun driving was funny, and the hypo richard part had me cracking up, and the SLR test...i love that sound...

i really wonder if they need to do that $100 quid thing and by the cars, that should be funny...

what's coming up for next week?

car_fan · May 21st, 2004, 01:12 AM

Seeding now. SLR sounds awesome, the hypnosis segment was silly, the nun on the monster truck rocked! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Hey Zuhaib, is that an Enfield Bullet in your avatar?

Outrager · May 21st, 2004, 07:42 AM

Do you guys think the hypnotism is real? I can't believe that you can really do that to someone. It was funny as hell, though

bahnstormer · May 21st, 2004, 08:03 AM

its hard to believe

zenon · May 21st, 2004, 08:13 AM

It is hard to believe, but it is very very real.

The brain is extremely complicated and extremely powerful while also being extremely easy to manipulate. It is fairly difficult to really hypnotize someone though and there are still quite a few inate safety checks in the brain to keep people from doing extremely dangerous or violent things.

justin syder · May 21st, 2004, 01:19 PM

he was either really hypnotized or a great actor cuz with everyone laughing he kept a straight face.

it would be cool to hypnotize ppl.... "gimme your SL65 AMG as a b-day present to me." images/smilies/twisted.gif

Outrager · May 21st, 2004, 05:41 PM

Imagine if they actually broadcast the hypnotism session over the television and everybody watching got hypnotised too. It's like... world domination ensues.

ESPNSTI · May 21st, 2004, 05:59 PM

As far as I can recall, you have to want to be hypnotized for it to work.

Renesis · May 21st, 2004, 08:04 PM

I don't believe that hypnotizing thing at all

GTV V6 · May 21st, 2004, 08:25 PM

I saw this guy live while I was a poor student at Uni.

He had 5 people from the audience eating lemons while thinking they were apples.

Have you ever tried that ?. It's impossible to take a bite from a lemon without some kind of invoulantery (sp?) action.

They were Biting and chewing, biting (juice spraying everywhere), chewing and not one of them made a peep...

I think it's real.

Renesis · May 21st, 2004, 08:45 PM

I guess I'd have to try being hypnotized to believe it

ESPNSTI · May 21st, 2004, 08:52 PM

I've seen it work at a college show too, these were sceptic friends that got hypnotized, so I'm a believer.
