Sat in France....

[pits]

So here I am sat in France, in a pub got a pint and a ciggie on the go, have free interbutts.
So make use of the time, download a game to play later in the night, so load up Steam (yes I know its awfull) got Half life, I want Blue Shift to go with it, and there fking firewall has blocked Steam getting through, or Steam is just being the usual st it is, I mean I have used Steam since it came out and after about 8 years maybe more, its still fking ste

Oh well, will drown my sorrows with some more beer and ciggies whilst sat in the lovely 28 degrees weather, not bad for 6 o clock


However I really do need a boat now I am thinking of you all whilst I sweat my tits off, doing fk all here not in work.

Some cracking roads here, but the bloody Gendarmarie are everywhere, its criminal, windows down, good driving music, really hot weather, and I am stuck at about 50mph

Gotta go and get more pictures aswell, mostly of the car

[Merlot]

Make sure you set your camera to auto focus when you get more shots of the car.

[Steameh]

I'm in the US at the moment and somehow managed to forget my camera when i went to the Sedwick County Zoo muscle car show. Some absolutely stunning corvettes, camaros, hot rods pretty much everything there.

Too hot here though, 102 at the moment.

[Dogwatch]

Only 23c here in Sussex and all (well some of) the natives speak English!

Think I'll hang on for Winky's re-election

[pits]

That was on the phone, I have no clue how to set it up, I changed something on it and it now goes like that, really good at close up photos though, supposed to be 8 megapixel aswell, so pretty poor....Scrub that, found out what it was, had it on macro or something instead of autofocus


Few places I want to go, just for pictures, as there is loads of little spots close to the sea, one down the road I want which will be a nice picture



ETA: got up to 94 degrees here for those working on farenheit,

Pits, where in France are you? I'm coming over in about 20 minutes

[elster]

Yeah where are you?

I'm down in the SW. Glorious sunshine here for me too.

Just going to be sparking up the BBQ shortly followed by a game of pool.

[pits]

I am in south bretagne, in a little town called Benodet




And this wonderfull place is just down the road, there is a whole village/town inside this castle

[Eddh]

I've been there its lovely you .

I'm going to be in Normandy.

[pits]

Yeah it is lovely, beats being sat in the UK, I could live here happily.

However I did not enjoy the drive down, we took the long route as my Grandad was coming originally, but as he died we forgot to change the bookings so we did
Newport>Poole>Vomet comet>Cherbourg>Rennes>Quimper>Benodet

Left UK at 4 am arrived in France at 4pm UK time, changed the way back now, going back to Roscoff, 6 hours on the ferry I can deal with, I can sleep there, I cant really sleep whilst driving

So why is Steam rubbish, it's hardly their fault the hotel blocked the connection is it?

Would love to hear some reasons as to why you don't like it...

[NDA]

It's lovely here in the UK - so not too jealous.... I took the GT out for a blat this afternoon and when it's weather like this I'd rather be here than there...

Hey! I used to live there, at Point St Giles just along the coast to the east of the town, near the big camp site.

Why is Steam rubbish
You buy a game, Steam recognises you have that game, you then redownload that game, so you dont have to use the disc, uninstall steam and it takes the game with it
Or how about when you used to have to be connected to the internet, to actually play the game
How about the Playstation live servers running off it so they are dog slow and can never play a game live without it cutting out
Maybe its the fact you try to download a game and it keeps telling you the servers are to busy, or it wont update because its to busy, so you cant get onto steam to down load new games

And you left why? I wouldnt of left, I would stay here all year

Uploading a st load of car photos now

[triggersbroom]

Can I ask why did you tint your lights yellow?

Are they deflective covers specifically for the Gallant?


Just curious... and envious of where you are

ETA - Ok, the Legnum - now I have looked at your profile.

Going for a more JDM look as it is an JDM import, its just some sticker stuff I found, also protects the headlights from damage, as they are not cheap to replace

[pits]

Best move this to another forum I am changing to car content now
This is 5 minutes down the road







This is 5 minutes down the road in the other direction









This is what I have to deal with all week


Look at this water, its filthy




And for the observant among you, I know it will get mentioned, the GB plate is missing of my car, its magnetic I took it off for the pics as it looked st back on there now
