I'm glad to see the forums back up, now I'd like to see if all the TD crew is alive and kickin. Just post in here and say hey and if you have any projects in the works. :)
Obviously I'm still around. I really don't have any MCM 2 projects going on that I'm ready to show.
I have recently started racing 1/10 scale Nitro Trucks. This weekend I started making a replica of my local track (http://www.collectracing.com/racepark/racing/dirtoverhead.jpg) using RealRace G2 (http://www.realrace.com).

damn when i see that first pic i though you had made a real track lol then i realised you were making a rep of it hehehe.
looks damn fine to me, i want a nitro truck lol.
Ian.
I'm still around too, but I'll admit that I don't read every single post. I basically don't have much time anymore, not even at work. I keep wanting to start a new track but like I just said, I don't have much time. It seems like vacations and holidays are good times for me to make tracks (Remember Christmas '03 / New Years '04? That was the last set of tracks for me...). I will be taking a vacation in a couple weeks so hopefully I can really get going on one... :)
As far as gaming is concerned, I have been spending time playing games with my 7 year old son Matthew. We play IP races in MCM2 across the little network I have setup in the house. We also play ATVORF1/2 on the PS2. He tried playing my MXU but got pretty frustrated so we left that one until later.
Besides gaming, I still go riding every weekend. Matthew comes with me occasionally and rides a little quad I bought him. My other two kids like the quad but are not really into it like he is. Recently I bought this so that the whole family can come out:

It sure keeps you cool on these hot SoCal summer days! :)
So I guess that's it for me. I'm still alive and kicking, just spread a little thin on time these days.
Jeff
The nitro stuff is really fun. This is the one that I have:

Now I'm trying to decide on a 1/8 four-wheel drive buggy.
Bruce
that's a sweet hauler jeff. ;D i need to get me one of those.
That Looks Nice jeff, Last year I went big and got this (http://www.bluescreations.net/images/Blues_toy.jpg)
Bruce, I used to race Team Assiociated RC10T (electric) was a blast, back in 1992, and 93 I raced Ready race of champions in Nor calif. I miss those old days when my reflexes where better LOL
Wow Dave, now that's big! That's gotta be well over 30ft end to end. Nice. :) 5th wheel, huh? I didn't want to convert my truck over so I got the pull along. At 26ft end to end inside the box hopefully it will be big enough.
Jeff
Yea Jeff, 37 feet, 26 feet of living and 11 foot garage, how does that f-150 pull that? you have a 5.4 I hope, and what trans? 5r100 or 4r70w? oh, I would get another add-on trans cooler, thats the weak link on the 4r70w trans, you have to keep them cool.
You see this, Twist re skinned it for me .. :P

I guess this is one of the downfalls of not staying in touch (my fault, I'm sure). I traded in the F-150 and got an F-250 in January '03. It has the V-10 engine so pulling is not a problem. :) I drove it for about a year and then bought a cheap, used, Ford Focus with 30k miles on it for $7,400 out the door. The Focus is what I use to commute back and forth down the 91 to work.
Jeff

Ian.
lol true Ian.
Actually if you knew me (GHETTOxFABULOUS) you would have a good idea why i mentioned barbiie...
No wonder i hardly see any old mcm'rs anymore :(
well if my little comments ofended you in anyway i apolagise,
i dont come here to do that, (offend people that is)
im in my 6th year of MCM now and ive just taken 7 months outa the game cos i just got burnt out.
as for seeing the old of players from the past, theres alot of MIA/AWOL players from when i 1st started.
but its just one of them things that happens all over, new blood comes in as old blood dies, although less are coming in to replace the old.
Ian.
Well, I'm a total n00b still ;D I only got the game X-Mas 2002 so only been playing 20 months lol
hehe i can recall the barbie tag ppl like gxf twist oc and all played all in there lovely barbie skins lol.
very nice to see maui uploading some classic natties to his site.. the more the merrier on that kinda vain is a shame that some of the newer players have trouble finding what old mcmer call classics.. But of couse we all try to help the bst we can by using things like msn etc to send them files if they cannot locate..
Had a few races recently on zone with a couple of newer guys and explained about tracks like hooker hill ,conair,ou812 747 and many more,,, made me quite pleased that they asked if i could send them to them.
is also very ncie to see most of the TD members still kicking around
Westy

Can't forget Jack(scumbiker).He was a cool ass guy. Wasn't part of TD but had a kick ass beta site that helped alot of people and started alot of people like Whiteboy. I remember him posting his first track up there. R.I.P.
