I have all of those - been collecting them since the late 90's.

 

I do have a spare 3DO console to hand if you are interested...possibly a 5600 too but i'm not sure where that is since we moved. I probably have duplicates of the mega cd and the jaguar too but nearly all my stuff is at my mums in the south.

 

Oh, and don't forget the CD add on for the Jaguar console!

 

Haha when I moved out of my parents I left the place littered with obsolete games consoles, too.

One of the ebay sellers has been on there since July 99 - I wasn't even sure if ebay had been going that long.

[Volksy]

ooh a 3DO!

 

I remember being addicted to the first 'Need for Speed' game which was released on those.

 

Loads of old supercar shite on there, 512TR, 911, NSX etc...

Unless your copy of The Need for Speed doesn't feature exotics, but Nissans:

Shenmue is great for featuring the most accurate virtual "lousy" arcade I've ever seen - from the ambient sound, the out-of-order machines and curt man behind the counter, it is nice to know that the rubbish arcade experience is preserved in digital history.

 

 

Good shout - Space Harrier, Hang-On.....was that all of them in there?

 

Also, big up to the forklift driving job you get down the docks

Ahhh, Shenmue... Perhaps they're out?

 

FACT: Any random piece of incidental music from Shenmue will reduce me to a dribbling, snivelling wreck in 3 seconds. God, I loved that game far more than was healthy, or indeed normal. For the record, I still don't reckon he was gay.

 

Also:

 

In that case DO NOT click this link containing loads of audio downloads from the game: http://www.shenmue-uk.com/shenmue_uk_media

Whilst passing by a Motor Auctions today, I happend to see a pile of car floor mats outside. A bloke who was working at the yard told me they were being thrown out, he told me I could help myself to some if I wanted to, I came away with a few sets of OE floor mats, for free!

 

Came across a Micra that had exactly the same plate as my Micra bar one digit.

That Liz bird off 'The Apprentice'. I'll give her a trial alright, quite possibly on the back seat of my Merc. If she's not GR8 4 SHAGIN I'll fire her.

I did something both evil and slightly naughty this afternoon..

 

It was cold, so I was wearing my hi-viz at work (It is blue, with silver and safety yellow stripes - looks very smart and official). A transit pulled onto the forecourt (red, 56 plate "signwritten" with a mobile number and no address, you know the sort), Driver got out and went into the workshop so I grabbed a white hardhat from the test bay to cover my hair and followed him in. He was in the middle of trying to sell foam matresses/blag batteries and catylists when I cut in (in my best Official voice) with "excuse me sir, is that your van outside?" and flashed my MoT smart-card at him (it has a photo of me and says VOSA in big blue letters, lol) he was off like we set the dags on him!

I googled the phrase 'That Liz bird off 'The Apprentice', one of the results gives up this:

Fucking scene tax on T Shirts. Tina one is an fiver, VW Camper one is £15 bills. What's making me laugh is that only a 'Shiter would notice this!

So here I am, chatting to friends on facebook when I get an add, okay lets see who it is. Someone I dont know, with no mutual friends. Riiiiight. Okay lets accept just to see them anyway.

Here is a status of theirs.

Oh and their default picture is the top of their head recieving some brown sauce. Hmmm, just when you think you know people.

Similar happened to me once Brammy. Probably looking for someone with the same name as yours. My surname is in the top ten most common in the UK, and my first is Andrew. Due to the commonness of my surname, I used to get loads of stick off my mates for "dating my sister" as my girlfriend had the same surname as me.

 

 

Baaa! Mooo! Six fingers on each hand FTW!

Just saw an eletric pink new shape Micra CC thingy drive past. I'm grinning because I'm not driving it, and despite meeting a large number of dickheads through the years I doubt anyone I know would ever consider drving something so utterly stupid.

[Louise2cv]

I parked next to a Fiat Multipla. For once I didn't have the ugliest car in the carpark!

I quite like the music off that too....

Whats making me grin is this spectacular pop video, its keeping me awake at night!!!! The tune is solid KWAZL as well.

Veg Oil. Bunged a load in the Xantia and it runs fine. @85p a litre it is a proper bargain! Missus is happy about cars for once.

Weird, I was listening to that about a month ago - for a week or so.

Blimey, thats well old. Didn't really like it when it come out....them was the days when you'd listen to the Top Twenty on Radio 1 on a Sunday night poised with your cassette player to tape your favourites..... It was only kept off the Number One spot by Elvis 'Way Down' and that was only cos he'd snuffed it.

 

Anyway, the real reason I wanted to post on here was to say I saw a silver Lancia Trevi broken down on the M25 today. Unfortunately, it was on the opposite carriageway so couldn't stop to offer help and have a close-up butchers.

Today I fixed the shed door to a standard actually higher than the manufacturers. I feel I'm now.. a MAN.

[MrDuke]

Today I discovered that my car visibly rocks from side to side when I blip the throttle.

 

Words cannot describe how happy this makes me. I HAZ MUSSCLE YO. I can't wait to try it at some traffic lights tomorrow and leave the passing honies awestruck at my automotive potency.
