Balance other hobbies?

Pah, still got my Game Cube. None of this fancy schmantzy waving at the telly bollocks for me

Mario Kart Double Dash is my all time favourite!

You know how many fights broke out in my house with Mario Kart? lol it just brings the worst out of people. And I love it for that reason.

It does indeed! Great game!

Holy crap... Errrmmm, I might have to get one of those...

[hammerheadmusicman]

that is almost word for word what i said when i saw it!

[juansolo]

  You might want to look how much the carts are these days!

I pretty much gave all mine away 

Don't get me wrong I have most of them on an emulator on the GameCube, but it's not the same... I don't know why, but it just isn't...

I think, if i got one, i'd have a scout at car boot sales and charity shops.. find some bargains at those places!

Last weekend... Not much balancing going on, pedal building is on hold. Nurburgring on Thurs...

that picture hurts my eyes it's so awesome.

Hey! This is one time that you're actually playing with the pedals.

Actually I'm in the other seat, the only control I have is the horn and a fancy stopwatch   Make of that what you will

Wow. You're a navigator?

[juansolo]

Well I wasn't until last weekend Colin's navigator dropped out, I (foolishly?) suggested that if he couldn't find anyone else I'd fill the seat so he could at least go rallying... Got a license and a helmet in the week (already had the overalls for the other car [a page back]) and had an hour overview of reading pace notes. It went well considering

I really enjoyed it. It's all a lot more extreme than it seems in the footage.

[haveyouseenhim]

You sir, are a badass. I got in a rally car once, and I guarantee it will never happen again.

And faster than any of us! Very cool Juan!

I just noticed the goat that ran across the road at 1:23.
