January Meeting...What a blast!

[Baha (Shawn)]

If you missed the meeting, you missed a great one!

Glenn "Evil Tunes" brought a PS3 (Play Station 3) with Grand Tourismo 5 all loaded up and hooked it up to Taylors big plasma screen TV. We were able to race vintage split window busses!

Glen also retrofitted a GENUINE VW Bus steering wheel to the game controller!

We all did 2 laps. It was great. Definately something we could do again...Thanks Glenn



Here's Yucellat the custom "Bus" controls




Check out the realistic SPLITTIE action!

To keep everything fair with the playing field there were no practice runs.

The Race was 2 laps in a '62 Volkswagen type 2(T1) 21 window SambaBus
w/rag top. In the Snow and a nasty hair pin turn.

The first lap was from a stand still to get used to driving the course. The second lap is the one that was counted and recorded. There was one Hiccup early on in which the brake was sticking and I had to keep my hand holding the brake up for the rest of the races.

Here are the Results

That was FUN!! It should definitely be on the menu again sometime. Thanks Glenn.

I knew Marc would set A Record, he drives like that all the time  (*speeder

If you have ever followed Celly or M you know they both have a lead foot. *snoopy)

I want a rematch
