You will be a praised man if you do.

If anyone is familiar with the PC version of GTA3, I swapped the audio file for the Chatterbox talk radio station with a .wav of Top Gear's drive-time show, so now I can listen to it while driving any vehicle in the game. images/smilies/smile.gif

Danny Tran · June 17th, 2006, 6:20 AM

nkj · June 19th, 2006, 8:34 AM

could anyone upload it to the filefactory or something or http cause the megaupload keeps saying download slots full . please. I can't seem to connect to the ftp too

Lecco · October 31st, 2006, 4:11 PM

Hello people, I downloaded the show and think it was absolutely brilliant. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

The thing I want to ask you...do you know the titles of the songs there? I managed to note down some of them... Its because I want to reedit the stream and fit the songs in it... images/smilies/wink.gif

And secondly...does somebody have the original *.ram stream of the show? In the MP3 file, there are some blips throughout the show and the sounds gets messed up for a sec or so... images/smilies/sad.gif

I will add more info when I get back from work... images/smilies/wave.gif
