Ladies and Gentlemen.... Welcome to the MPH Show 2004

Greetings all, in my latest blog entry, you're in for a treat, because i'm going to tell you all about the superb MPH'04 event that I went to last Saturday.



it begins with a fit babe with a top hat walking on stage



then a pair of TVR's fly in and do some donuts on stage



then 3 presenters drive in





Hammond Stares at my camera.... scary



Jeremy Clarkson with his Spyker



Richard Hammond with his lime green dodge charger



and Tiff Needell with his Ariel Atom



some random guy does some spinning of sorts





after that, hammond calls on for some spinning, MPH stylée...

then some dude drives in with some bike engine powered hot rod and starts doing donuts



and jumps out of and off the car while the car still does donuts without a driver, runs back behind stage, and comes back out with a red TVR and does the same



then finally comes out with a Saab convertible. and does reverse donuts with it



so.... 3 cars. doing donuts without driver



random guy still doing his plate spinning thing...



next. Heath and Safety man comes out from his caravan at the side of the stage, and stops all the action.



the 3 presenters hate the health and safety mans guts

suddenly a single man hovercraft comes out on stage and does a few spins



and the car show resumes

out comes a Noble M400 GTO



then a Farboud GT



then a Lotus Exige



then a Vauxhall Monaro



clarkson challenges needell to a race around a figure of 8 circuit around the stage...



Vauxhall Monaro vs. Lotus Exige




The Monaro wins.

"Ladies and gents, i present to you the worlds fastest blue wale!" says Clarkson

next, Tiff gets pushed on stage whilst sitting in a Lotus F1 car.

unfortunately, not allowed to start the engine of the F1 car because of the health and safety man....

Richard Hammond loses his cool, and runs towards the H&S mans caravan and kills him



Not finished....
To be continued.....

Edit...... sorry. i can't be arsed to finish this off..... its gonna take forever to finish off the blog.

Meanwhile, Go here MPH '04 Highlights

Need For Speed Underground 2 Rocks, Period.

Since i got the game on Friday, i reckon a good guestimation of how many hours i've spent on this fine game is in the region of 30 hours plus......

30+ hours of twidling the joy pad controling my mad vehicle....

I'll stress this.... IT'S A BLOODY GOOD/GREAT/SUPERB GAME!!!!

Anyway, I feel like showing off my current car....

BLAH

This is now the 3rd time i'm typing this god damn blog entry...

First time, I accidently closed the window,
Second time, my computer gave me a BSOD (blue screen of death, for those of you that don't know)
Now, attempt numero trois. (backed up on notepad, just in case).

First off, appologies for the earlier blog entries with broken pictures.... you know why? Virgin NET terminated my account due to arrears. bugger. Sorry.

Today is Geeta's 23rd birthday. Had lunch with her and 4 of her mates at pub in the pond. lovely stuff, but expensive :S

Oh my f*cking god, I just saw on Top Gear, Jimmy Carr beat the lap record in the reasonably priced car.... by 0.2 seconds off Simon Colwell.... mad.

Anyway, hows work @ the Institute? Quite good. Work is plentiful, but there have been a few hiccups. One task we were set, we had to do stuff with 2 types of lighting to show 'normalness' and agressiveness.... fine, I did that, edited it, and presented it....
Dave Morgan had a go at us, why? because he was dense and didn't spot that we filmed 2 types of lighting shots. some people.... ffs.

Any other hiccups? well, we were supposed to do a radio play with Dave as well, in the end, nobody did it, even they had a month to do it.... ah well.... i'm thinking that this says something about Dave... never mind.

Oh my god, I just saw the coolest footage of a car show ever! Clarkson in Aston Martin DB9 S, Steve Coogan in Ferrari 565. loads of high-speed-camera footage, super cars flying past a camera car. just awesome!

I've currently got my parents in my bad books, why? because they prefer me to work in a local egg packing factory, than to go work in Disney Florida over the summer.
I had the opportunity presented to me on a plate, Disney were ready to take me in their open arms, all they needed was a passport and birth certificate (they were both at home in the family safe).
Did parents approve? NO!!! they simply refused, because they didn't want the trouble of getting worried because I was in the USA.
I'm 21, and have had 3 years of living away from home, and i'm not allowed to do what I want, don't you think thats f*cked up?
One quote from mum was, "If you go, I won't be your mum no more", basically, they will dis-own me if i went.
I just stayed quiet and thought, 'whatever'. nevermind then...

On a different subject. I've aquired a awesome game! Need For Speed - Underground 2.
I'm sure that this game is going to be a great hit. I spent hours playing on it, yesterday, i woke up, played on it, had a shower in the afternoon, played on it, had lunch (because i was so hungry), played on it. Went to bed. So addictive, I don't think its possible for me to be bored of the game!
So, whats new in this installment compared to Underground 1? well, there are so many new options for you to tinker, you have body kits that actually affect handling, you can tweak the components of your car like the ECU and Turbo for each type of race.
One major thing about the new game is that you have the access to the entire Bayview city. just like in the GTA games, but a lot more prettier. :) Buy the game!!! Buy it! Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!

I'll leave it at that, I'll just play some more on Underground 2. Currently no sign of finishing the game after many 10's of hours of playing. Superb.

Yes, i know, i suck...

Don't worry, i promise to put up a new blog entry really soon....

everything in life is going a bit manic at the mo, so please bear with me, k?
