# cool.
I'm all for old school and fondly remember such things as day of the tentacle, Darkseed 1 and 2 plus legend of kyrandia.

I've recently purchased this www.amigaforever.com/ ( again, I lost it a couple of years ago ) and may just play them all again.

# I've been playing Warcraft I again recently
and it's still superb. All this talk of GTAIV just makes me want to go back to GTAII, too.

# It did me too at first
but I ended up quite liking it, especially when you'd finished all the missions for one gang, earning the eternal hatred of another,a nd then went on a massive killing spree to balance it back up again. They don't even fight back much for a while because you're so much in their good books.

# I hate gta
with a vengeance. I'm just so poor at anything that involves driving that rather than fail I just don't attempt. I sold my PS2 because i failed at gran turismo even though I loved it. ( but then I have a real gran turismo car so i console myself with that)

# Pity
I've actually never even tried to play GTAIII or above but I and II are two of my favourite games. I suck at proper driving games, though. Years back I got a copy of Grand Prix Legends and tried to take one of the 1968 F1 cars around the Nurburgring.

Not successful.

# my car has been round the Nur in
just under 9 minutes for real with me driving and is a special nurburgring edition. Another car like it with a better driver holds the lap record ( or did, I don't keep up with these things now ).

Lucky bastard

# I shall let you know when i'm doing a track day at Silverstone this year.
GTR-34 M spec nur and a 2007 BMW M5. I just have to save up for tyres ;)
I don't mind a bit of company.

# I'd be more likely to come along
if you were at Hockenheim or the Nurburgring again. It's many a year since I lived in Northants.

# I'm not sure she will allow me
to go to the Nur again, but i have news for her. When my new nissan arrrives next March there will be no discussion, i'm off.
