What a great weekend.On saturday we went for a bimble round Stony Stratford, for no particular reason, other than it's a nice place to go, and stopped into The Vaults Bar for a drink.
Andrea's not at all familiar with the finer points of Milton keynes, so what better place to start?
Next we ambled on over to Willen Lake, and stopped for munchies in the resteraunt by the lake. Not the cheapest place on earth, but otherwise unpretentious, and a very easy place to just drop into when you don't feel like cooking.
Sunday... more Gran Turismo sillyness. We nipped into town and I picked up a Speedster force feedback wheel.
I dunno. I'm not sure if I should've got the Logitch wheel or if I just suck with wheels, period. Either way... I find the game almost unplayable using the thing... and after losing around a minute and a half on my laptime at the Nurburgring, even after lots of practice and optimising the wheel settings, I've gone back to using the pad.
Playing this morning, I've gone back to complete some of the slower, less exciting races, and in doing so, won a 1964 Ginetta G4. This is a tiny little British sports car that initially only has around 90bhp, but weighs in at around 400kg, so it's very nippy. Just for fun though, I stuck a stage two turbo in the thing.
Hahahaha.
Absolutely mental. I highly recommend it, just for laughs.
