  1. hi mate. i havnt raced online for a while but i have vista and this is what i always use. just copy/paste youre tga file 24 bit uncompressed into the folder. (make sure its simply called 'car'. then double click the 'tex' file. theres an mktex file in there as well i didnt delete it in case it needs both to work. cheers, damo. tga_to_tex.zip
  2. my condolences to you also alex. hope to see you on an infield soon as apparently thats where i always end up.
  3. thats a top effort for a beginner. i cant even render all i get is chocolate wheels and a skinless car lmao but keep going im sure it will look tiptop when finished.
  4. it hasnt happened to mine yet - touch wood but i think they are referring to when the lights on the front ( the ones that go green to show which pads are connected near the power button) turn red indicating the machine has a major fault.
  5. ive pre-ordered gta4 for my 360 already. ive always had playstations. ive had a ps1 and ps2 but the price of the ps3 at the time put me off so i got a 360 to give it a go. i must admit im fairly impressed so far. ive got moto gp 2007, call of duty 4, fifa 2008 and need for speed pro street. the thing that is annoying is gran turismo isnt going to be on the 360 and its one of my favourite all time games. bearing this in mind i mind sell my 360 , buy a ps3 and then i can buy all the above games and get gran turismo 5 aswell.
  6. ill have a word with shinny and mark nottingham when i see him next. it wasnt ap videos by any chance was it.
  7. ive been having problems with windows vista signing in to msn with the following intermittent error. 81000306 so after trying all the trobleshooting tips without any luck i emailed microsoft support who emailed me back and what i did seems to have cured it. im posting so it may help others with similar problems in the future. heres what you need to do (taken from microsofts email): If you are using Windows Vista, disable the Auto Tuning Networking feature: a. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, and then right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator. b. Click Continue when Windows requests permission to continue. c. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER: netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled Note This command disables the Window Auto Tuning feature. After you disable the Auto Tuning Networking feature, verify if you are able to sign into Messenger. cheers, damo.
  8. knobby tbh its that rotten u could put it on the cage if u jacked it with a push bike lol.
  9. ok as promised some pics of slicks mk1 tina for gd friday teams at mildo so someone can model it. i took them after he primered it but its been sprayed bad news colours now. if you want them in a zip file add me on msn its damo667@hotmail.com. cheers. [attachmentid=23647] [attachmentid=23648] [attachmentid=23649] [attachmentid=23650] [attachmentid=23651] the bonnet was off when i took the pics but it shouldnt be hard to get pics of a mk1 tina bonnet off the net i wouldnt of thought.
  10. im not an expert but i think you need to save them as a tga file if you are using them for renders.
  11. as title says autograss racer and signwriter carl secker is interested in starting a new club for r/c bangers at holbeach, lincs. we would like to get some preliminary ideas and see how much interest there would be for one. we are just interested at the moment in whether you are interested then we will setup a website and forum etc to discuss possible rules and nights to hold it on etc.
  12. i heard rodders caravan got knocked off its supports.
  13. same mine is damo667. you are gettin up the ranks quite well danny. im up to level 25 now.
  14. i live in bourne and was watching shaun of the dead on itv2 when the lounge walls started moving. the rumbling went on for bout 4 seconds then it died down but could still feel a faint vibration for bout 30 seconds after. was wierd cos we have all our trophies on shelves and they all started dancing. its a good job i wasnt watching most haunted cos i think i wouldve ran like forest gump if i had been lol.
  15. ive got three 1600's. they might not be any good for you but if i get the third one running i will sell one of them. cheers, damo.
  16. ah i see now. it has now vinyl roof and the back end has more of a rounded feel to it like a mk1 capri and theres no air vent in the rear quarter behind the window
  17. excellent car rodder. ive painted one to test it out. hope i done your model justice with my paintjob lol. oh a quick question to save me posting 2 posts, whats the difference between a normal mk1 coupe and a coke-bottle as i cant see one lol. cheers, damo. [attachmentid=23170] [attachmentid=23171]
  18. it was up 4 sale for that but he swapped the guy a fiesta with a few months mot and tax for it. it had mot on it when he got it. calum the 4 litre r he raced at icebreaker had no engine/box, no inner or outer sills, hardly any good floor and he put a cortina steering rack and column on it instead of the 4litre r steering. he spent 3 weeks building it and it was already stripped when he got it. some of the classics he has are worthy of mot'ing. in fact an a60 he has was mot ' d and tax'd and he hiab'd it lol the p2 is only being used for the panels to put on the one he raced last year so lynn can use it as a show car again this year.
  19. oh goody does that mean i can have the mk1 coupe limo now. lol
