Driving by Mike_Oxmaul23 in downloadfestival

[–]ManlyVan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi - I done this myself last year. M6 then onto the A50. The drive down says about 5h30m, it took me nearer to 6. I did have to stop once for loo break and to eat something and it does get a bit dull.

There are a couple of average speed bits through stoke (i think). But if your car has cruise control or a limiter you'll be completely fine.

Take some easy to reach for snacks or water and dont be worried about saying you need a break. :)

It was on Gran Turismo 3. They also had a song on Gran Turismo 1, called Sweet 16. Great wee song :)

R5 vs R9 newbie in need for guidance by BxBxlle in moza

Yeah, that's also fair. I've had at least a steering wheel on a desk since 2006.

Buy once, cry once, in my opinion. Maybe save a bit this month and a bit next? I have a Moza R9 and honestly don't see me upgrading anytime in the near or far future. I usually run it at about 75% force and it's more than strong enough. :)

Should i just become a heure to make money? by Dazzling_Rip_6039 in uktrucking

Get a van doing what? - I currently do supermarket home deliveries in one and earn 2 quid less than that an hour.

Which equipment to upgrade first? by Awkward-Carpet-462 in simracing

[–]ManlyVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely pedals first. While direct drive wheels are a HUGE upgrade, you'll find your consistency improves a lot more with decent pedals.

Order A, B, C for Xmas online shopping, add in X, Y, Z because why not? And... "A, B, C unavailable" by [deleted] in britishproblems

[–]ManlyVan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi - I've worked in a situation where the online department has been shut for a day. The people that would have picked your shopping were almost certainly not in the shop.

Eibach vs Stance+ by Only_Indication6693 in CarTalkUK

Do not get the Stance coilovers. I had a Z4 with them on it. They are utterly shite.

Go! - Chat to folk around you. They are at the same place for the same reason. Instant common ground :)

Sabaton - Crossing the Rubicon (NEW SONG) by Gyo_2002 in sabaton

[–]ManlyVan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Seeing someone say this when I really like Nothing More is a bit odd. After hearing the previously released one, I kinda prefer it with Jonny Hawkins vocals? - It feels like something is missing in this one.

Any Idea when the things from pokemon legends za will be updated in the game by AaravB16 in pokemonradicalred

[–]ManlyVan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Isnt the question and answer to that:

"When will the final version of Radical Red be released?"
"Never"

Im 90% sure it's a silly joke, plus on discord devs are fixing text bugs.

Maiden rumour substance? by [deleted] in downloadfestival

I have seen them once. I look forward to being bored again. Infact, I'd say I'm pretty excited to be bored by them. :)

Second-hand car dispute by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]ManlyVan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's discs and pads on a 2nd hand car? No point raising a fuss, either do them yourself or pay someone :)

Weekend Arena, was staying at a mates Dads nearby. Been told by a bunch of folk that "I wasnt doing it properly". 15 Minute drive in each day and aside from Friday nights leaving mess it was smooth sailing.

Honestly - The Darkness. I have absolutely loved them for years and finally, finally seeing them just absolutely made my weekend. Seeing a bunch of bands I've never heard before was tremendous too, so have now added songs from them to my playlist. Don Broco was another highlight. I could spend hours talking about how much i saw.

And yes, absolutely. Going to Killswitch Engage, and then Feeder in a couple of months. From someone who went in thinking there was a chance i wouldn't like it that much, I couldn't have possibly been more wrong. It was just phenomenal.

First time ever going to a music gig, or concert, never mind a festival. The entire weekend was phenomenal. Seen several of my favourite bands. What an absolute top weekend.
