Hi slowth. Don't worry about having the free version - it's a full game, not a demo, and I'd say about 60% of the TM community plays it exclusively (that figure has no scientific basis; it's a guess).
Looking forward to racing you! |

Yeah nations has better stadium racing than United does imho.
Is your 60% based on the same formula as the guy rating tracks who gave it 63% out of 100. Couldn't he just say 6/10  _________________

Cheers everyone. *chinks drinking glass a bit too hard with everyone*
A few words about myself?
Just turned 40,not working hence my afternoon/early morning sessions on madlaps.Tommy Saxondale could be my twin brother.Live in Northants,a cab ride away from SantaPod drag circuit.Originally from Coventry,so a long suffering sky blues fan.Married (in Vegas) to my childhood sweetheart.(been together 20 years,married for 6 of them).No kids,1 cat.
A pothead,(go to Amsterdam once or twice a year for a big blowout),love my music (a bit of everything but my faves include Nick Cave,Spiritualized,the Flaming Lips and The Fall).Fave tv includes Peep Show,Spaced,Sopranos & Deadwood.
Im saying more than i need to here,aren't i?
Finally then,a special big up To BunsenJetson who,imo,makes the most aesthetically pleasing maps (trojanhorse is a work of art worthy of awards and my personal favourite). |

Thanks mate! Actually, you sound like an older version of me ... only 2 years actually ... but your music and TV tastes are basically me. And your taste in tracks is clearly exquisite. |

Unlucky Dodgy
You might be a bit young maybe? but..
do you ever visit the Roadmender? Its a gig venue in Northampton.I went to see Alabama 3 there the other week.Top night out although i have to leave before the end to get the last bus home which is annoying and not too impressive for a racers cv .Also go to the Soundhaus although not for a while.Last gig there was I Am Kloot a couple of years ago.
Hey bunsen.,it's cool that we have this unspoken understanding between us re:tastes. |

well im 37.. so not too young to remember many a happy night down the roadmender. I thought they'd closed it down. im next door to the rugby ground so luckily its only a little walk home for me.
pop will eat itself where the best i ever saw down there.
happy mondays and stone roses for me all the way... _________________ Alloy Wheels are us at POTN.COM |
