Yup, I bought Crashday - as was said above, it was fun for about 5 minutes, then I just found it boring.

Haven't played it since I got Carbon and TDU - and probably won't play it again.

Was the Eureka the car they used in the film, "A Clockwork Orange"? Looks pretty similar...

EDIT: Sorry, it appears the car in the film was the "Durango 95"

Must admit I've recently been running the workhorse on BP Ultimate Diesel - mainly because the smell of soot on start up was getting pretty bad. Made a hell of a difference - car's smoother, cleaner, quicker and quieter, although it's only doing about 3mpg more than it was on standard. The extra cos...

My major passtime is watching motorsport, particularly F1 - go Hamilton, Davidson, Button and Coultard.

I also enjoy computing - programming, playing games and surfing the internet.

My sport is playing golf (badly); and I enjoy visitng places of architectural and historical interest.

According to the modern obsession with CO2 emissions, a Diesel car is much cleaner than the equivalent petrol (ignoring particulates). As an example, I'll compare the last 2 cars I've owned: 2003 1.6l 16v Vauxhall Astra Petrol compared to 2004 1.9l TDi 110 Seat Leon (similar model ages and horse pow...

Stability results were very high which suggests you are extremely relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic. Orderliness results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly organized, reliable, neat, and hard working at the expense of flexibility, efficiency, spontaneity, and fun. Extr...

I'd say go for a 7600GT - if you've got PCIe slots they're pretty cheap now (about £70), AGP run about £100 and require less power than my old 9800 PRO. Best £100 I spent on my PC (P4 3.2 1GB RAM) - put off its replacement for the foreseeable future!

Have to agree with Steelsnake...

There is definitely a funny smell in this forum at the moment - it smells like bulls***

However, the smell could disappear rapidly with the production of the evidence (but we won't hold our breath).

My most amusing bug to date was when my profile corrupted (luckily, I'd backed it up a few days before, so didn't lose too much progress!).

Must admit I mostly play Most Wanted as well.

The only NFS I play before UG is Porsche 2000. Just gotta love the way you can choose if you have the roof up or down on a convertible and the tuning options.

Guess it depends on your driving preferences. Personally I hate the handling of the S7; much prefer the CC8S. And CC8S level 3 tuned will do approx 260MPH - suppose there isn't that much in it...
