Hiding the fact you just want to be out on the tractor than playing GTA :rolleyes::pac:

I just want to drive as many vehicles as possible before I die haha. I do like my cars and machinery and even take a bit of notice of the odd few trucks. I'd love to drive a bus at some stage haha

Mk2 escort rally car is probably the highest on the list though.

Ooh I forgot to add bus to that list..hmm

I was always an Audi Quattro man :pac: Then I saw Paul Walkers Mk1 Escort in Fast 6

Top of my list always has been and will be a plane haha

Corvo Attano

Feck off I called dibs on first proposal. Date and all planned.

Get a fancy GPS yoke with auto steer for the tractor and install a monitor and playstation in the can and have the best of both worlds! :pac:

Vice City was amazing :eek: but Bully was something else. You haven't played it if you did the lawnmower task perfectly as if you were doing it in your garden :P

Corvo Attano

Hay COD WaW was class. Come to think of it its just infinity ward that are shít. The trearch ones are far cooler and crazier but are marred by the Modern Warfare crowd.

And Bully. What a game.

Daniel7740

Is it possible to beat San Andreas though?

And slingshotting the principal and making your getaway on the lawnmower :cool: I had a serious obsession with the lawnmower haha

Daniel7740

Only got to play that game for less than an hour

Can you buy it online on playstation store by any chance?

Corvo Attano

Getting the bike and just going into town when school began.

They are more fun, harder to master too. You're constantly changing the throttle and collective pitch with your left hand, pedals with both your feet and the cyclic with your right hand.

If I ever find that I have a surplus of cash..I'd definitely give that a go too

No SA was the best of them and LC Stories was the worst..still great

jamo2oo9

Was told that the former Chief of Staff of the IRA died in an accident a few days ago had built our house two years. He was a sound chap, always dead on and I didn't even know he was in the IRA until now.

Just realised I'd say by the age of 14 I had driven; a car, jeep, tractor, quad and motorbike at some stage.

Wouldn't mind a go of a combine either, the uncle/cousin has one so I might be lucky some day :pac:

Corvo Attano

Quads are great fun though

Combine is difficult alright. You have to keep an eye on the height of the blades so it doesn't hit the ground, changing the height of it as you go along and take in all of the yield. No field is ever flat, ever. They are incredibly slow too on the roads. 35kph is the fastest I've managed so far.

Dangerous yokes to, safe enough in the snow and the craic in the snow is on-rail on them! Still though I've never flipped ours, even though if come close to it a good few times.

A group of us farmers and "real culchies" went quad attack there a year or 2 ago, and I'd say they were glad to see the back of us! We were doin some messing on them. Flat out sideways every where and just acting the bollocks on them haha

I got all four wheels about 6foot of the ground up there on a Yamaha wolverine. Was told it was fairly spectacular, and when I landed I thought I had broke both me wrists :pac:

Corvo Attano

Apart from the behemoth I seen at the ploughing i wouldnt drive a combine. Too much hastle.

My cousin has a Banshee. Fúck me even in first gear its some speed.

You farmers and all your farm vehicles I drove cars when I was 15 and clocked up around 100km (Not in Ireland..or nowhere near anyone for that matter) and had a go at motorbikes a couple of times too.

My uncle has this Jeep..it's donkey's years old. It's basically a civilian version of the WW2 Willys Jeep. Looking forward to trying that next July Apparently the steering won't turn if you have the clutch in or something..

Another fellow farmer on here?? :O

Oh I know they'd be tricky alright. Finger bar mowers years ago were ment to be alot worse. Father said when he was 13 he was sent off for his first time ever using the mower (was being mowed for hay), and he was sent to the stoniest hilliest field and half the grass was lodged, fairly regularly had to to get down and replace/ fix sections, 'twas a huge field aswell and he only mowing 5ft at a time and well away from the farm so there was no one there to help him, had to learn the hard way. Said he could now anything after goin through all of that

Corvo Attano

No internet cafes. But that was my main source of income in the early game of IV

I havnt a clue how many hours/miles I've clocked up driving things

My driving test is next Monday, i thought I'd never get me full liscence !

Not being able to turn when the clutch is pushed in would help with tyre wear as the tyres don't wear as much if your moving and turning the wheel :pac:

Yeah. In the blood as my grandad owns a small farm for barley and previously livestock. Sold them all as it was too much effort compared to crops and fodder. I only help around during harvest season. I'm always living for the tea and sandwiches at lunch and hot dinners out of the jeep in the field on hot days :cool:
