L4D2?
EDIT: So is anyone actually playing L4D2? Its only £5.10 on steam :D

I have the game (paid full price for it when it came out)

I was asking if MightyMission was asking about L4D2 when posting "good game?" i know im ultra hard to comprehend.
Yeah L4D still has its fans, i know erocker and co like to rotate playing the different versions. I have the first on xbox 360 and the second i got on steam sale a while back.

I thought people where trying to get a game going in another thread but people are busy and in different time zones.

Ive heard of the term "ricer" but over here its like morons who just think having amazing rims on their beamer gets them credit or like what we term in Scotland as "boy racers" who think they can drive at 100mph in their Vauxhall Corsa from 2002 or Peugeot or something like that.

When i think of "ricer" i tend to think of japanese cars modified/jap import pre-modified to the max such as engine mod,body kit,lowered etc etc.
And as for other manufactures being modified to extent they haven't done any engine modifications and just body kit,ugly alloys/rims and overly large exhaust that it smash onto the floor or speed bump i just call them chav mobiles.

Chav-mobiles it is, i'm sure a lot of people just see them as crap cars though (giving them a name would mean giving them a limited amount of respect)

TBH skyline R32,R33,R34 GTR as much as their old they are still a very nice car to drive,i would love to try one but i wouldn't want to own one as i'm not a big fan of them.
Still would love a Supra or a MR2 or a RX-7 and those are ricer cars too.

i cant beleive they stopped working on the wankel rotary engine(unfortunate name but still).
2 or 3 x 650 cc=capable of 1000bhp + !
shame about the oil leaks though...
didnt the skyline have a massive block to begin with? 2.6 straight 6 w/1 or 2 turbo's IIRC
a guy i worked with had a beastly old mistsubishi gt(o?) 3000 twin turbo thingy until the snow we had last year...
chav mobiles:
blue LED's that serve no purpose anywhere on the car
body kits making the car heavier yet no corresponding engine tuning
badly fitted bonnets that allow more air to cool the standard engine
anything from halfrauds fitted that is visible
turbo sound kit on naturally aspirated engines
sponsor stickers...as if alpine/jbl etc is going to sponsor the chav to show off in his c20let corsa round the local meet point...

That was a crappy example but im guessing you all get the idea.

My favourite cars are like the Supra and MX-5 which isnt exactly a really fast car but makes up for it in handling and weight. The Supra engine was almost as if they intended for it to be modified, it can take so much power. One of my mates is into cars but he mainly drives bikes.

There is that anime Initial D about cars and the main guy drives a Toyota Corolla in it. The main character Takumi Fujiwara was supposed to be based on Keiichi Tsuchiya the "drift king". I had to like google the names there as i forgot them but i knew he was based on the drift king i just couldn't remember his name.

The Audi R8 and Bugatti are nice looking cars but i dont think they are my favourites or anything.

Ive been in the steam groups for years but i never use them.
My game just went to desktop randomly during that game of L4D2 no idea why but BC2 seemed to just say it was loading then never, sometimes logging out of steam and going back in fixes all my steam problems not that i have many problems.
