Pics of Stratos and WRC!

[axletramp]

Not that inviting? :shakehead

 

[axletramp]

Give it some!!!!!! 😈

 

[axletramp]

Of course if that isn't inviting enough how about an 037....

 

[axletramp]

And finally, the stunning 037 Road Car... very rare! :inlove:

 

[axletramp]

Mmmm... so rare I forgot to attach it....

There was an 037 road car for sale in evo a few months back, about £25,000.

You're ****ting me, right?! Wow. I've only ever seen one in r/l and that was at a car show. It was black, not quite right somehow...

/off topic/
Seen the latest Evo mag with the write-up on the likeliest Skyline replacement - R35 Infinity? Also see the pics of the last 1000 R34's that were sold, offered with the 'Nür' upgrade pack - 450bhp!!

Hmm, looks like I will have to get my hands on a copy. I am not joking about the Lancia, I was as gobsmacked as you were, it was red as well, looked so good! Did you get Evo a couple of months back with the ECOTY footage on a CD?

Nah, this month's was the first I'd see.

I've been gettig it on and off for a while now, best motoring magazine IMO. Copule of months ago they had the free CD that had footage from Evo Car of the year. The contenders included the Pagani Zonda C12S (which won), Lamborghini Murcielago, Ruf Rgt and Aston Martin Vanquish along with quite a few more. There was video of the cars getting spanked (the above 4 sound so good!) on roads and on a track in Italy. There was also a curious video of the Zonda being used to fire banana skins out of the exhaust, very strange.

 

[axletramp]

Sounds cool - apart from the banana thing. Although I have got an mpeg of a german girl ... 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 :tapedshut

hehehe.

My race against an Escort with the Stratos. The Stratos is like no other rally car, it just slides out instantly. You don't have to chuck it in the corners, you simply turn and it swings way out. It's fast if you catch it, but I've spun several times trying to get it to Gooooooooooooooo!

 

[frentzey]

After the start, the Escort pulls away with its 4wd.

 

[frentzey]

Not for long, however, as the Stratos reels in the Escort with its unwieldy, yet superior cornering.

 

[frentzey]

The Stratos slides in front, to my delight!

 

[frentzey]

Now, for some beauty shots as I constantly drift through the "blue sea, verdant greenery" of Tahiti.

 

[frentzey]

Don't stare too long, you'll damage your eyes by my reckonin'

 

[frentzey]

Moving right along...

 

[frentzey]

Sliding along - lovely

 

[frentzey]

And finally, I win by a furlong in the old skool Stratos. The Escort - pah! Detroit's got nothing on me! :bitten: :devil2:

Fantastic stuff! You point out how easy the Stratos is to spin - it's got the same wheelbase as a Fiat 126(!) making it almost 'square' - hugely sharp to turn, just don't over cook it!!! 😈

Detroit? They wish! The Escort Cosworth Rally Car was designed and built in Northampton, UK.

do you have the shark port codes for these cars? I want them.

[too cold]

The sharkport is just hardware to save games to your pc, it doesen't use codes. If you have the sharkport and MK's program then you just use the "change car" option and pick that car. NTSC/Japan only for the Stratos and Diablo.

 

[Bill-182]

Oops I mean game shark and not shark port. Is it possible to get these cars with shark codes? Or do you need a shark port and edit the save file?

Bill-182

 

[too cold]

Gameshark won't do it. You have to have SP and MK's program.
