A.R.C#2 (Round 6 - Tahiti Maze)

Old Geezer · Apr 8, 2004

Me thinks me has this figured out:

"Blethering" = "International Scheming" 👍
So while we've all heard of "Blithering Idiots", what we have here at A.R.C. II is "Blethering Lunatics"...NO??? ...UB57

Oh yeh, just to keep somewhat on topic, best T-3s:

1st Lap 1'07.9xx / 2nd Lap 1'03.9xx :banghead:

Thanx GT3mich! 👍

Don't I WISH!!! :banghead:

I have faster race saves with Neither of these Laps included & like everyone else I'm sure, it would be great to put "Two Good Ones" together! :irked:

Thanx Again! ...UB57

BTW: BOTH those Laps were done while trying to "Avoid" my Partner who was "hovering" around the finish line in that "Cheer Leader's Outfit" again!!! :eek:

But NO you gotta go and get one that just keeps me "OCCUPIED" Sheesh!!! I mean... that's what it says on the bathroom stall whenever I really gotta go or something. "ENTERTAINED" or "INTERESTED", at the very least, would have been better than "OCCUPIED".

No I believe her orders were to keep you occupied, kind of like my kid does whenever I want to do anything else. If it was any more than that you might become suspicious, wouldn't want it to be any better than your average date.

LDM in his Pug 206 and GT3Mich in his focus will be quite formidable here no doubt. but Ron has a secret weapon of his own coming tonight and me, well, i'll just try my best to keep up with the fast rally guys.

Nice car picks Max. Like Mr P needs a secret weapon. If he is running anything other than the Focus then he is just giving everyone else false hope.

Dang it UB slow down, looks like I am already in third. I better quit blathering and get back out on the track.

Please educate me! :confused:

Am I correct in thinking from other posts here that it's actually possible to run this Race quicker with the "NTSC Version" than the "PAL Version"? :confused:

For some strange reason, yes it is possible to run this race quicker with the NTSC version. Only with arcade rally though it seems :odd:

I could never had gotten my 1'19.8 TT8 on the PAL version but after only a few laps with NTSC I was in the 1'19's

Been out of town, so a little late:

Happy birthday, phattboy. :cheers:

No better sectors for me, but at last I got a functioning dualshock and with a long cord.

Guess that internet shop is getting fed up with me. :lol:

Now I only need to get the last one replaced.

phattboy · Apr 9, 2004

Thanks Niels!

Longer cords are handy! Make you faster too!!!

Hi Guys & Gal!!! 👍

Just gotta share this w/all of you. Spotted a thread that told of the new Logitech Wheel being offerd at a SUBSTANTIAL Discount & FREE Shipping. Figured I was gonna need it sooner or later & my MOMO "Glitched" on me TWICE yesterday at VERY In-Opportune Moments. Ordered it two days ago & opted for the Free 9-10 day shipping since I wasn't in a hurry. It just arrived :eek:

& you know I couldn't wait to try it.

REPORT: It felt just a little "Strange" at first but by the FOURTH LAP at the Maze I'm within 0.200 of my personal best Hot Lap!!! Haven't tried it on the Tarmac yet & was prepaired to re-install the MOMO if necessary. Don't think I will.

Just had to share this with you...UB57

2nd Report: Found the .200 I was lacking and another .100 to Boot!

Have run 3 / 2-Lappers quicker than my best w/MOMO already. Switching to 100% Feedback is absolutely phantastic!!! You can feel every grain of sand & crushed puka shell at the "Maze"!!! :lol:
