My new festool toy

[woodguy7]

Well, i got it at last.  I bought the sanding discs in May & should have got the free car then, better late than never eh.

The boys seem to think they are getting it  [scared]  Its MINE  [smile]

 

[woodguy7]

They are determined !  Its mine i tell you, leave me alone.

Looks like i lost out.  Two against one aint very fair  [mad]

I gotta laugh. Funny though.

Is the car fast?  You can claim it as a tool you can use it for your tape measure when measuring a large room attach the tape and drive it to the end of the room haha

It's not terribly fast. I think the controls are weird, but maybe that's a common design in Europe. You have to push forward each time to speed up through several speeds and then pull back on the stick each time to slow to a stop.  I got my youngest a Traxxas Revo last year. It'll go upwards of 50 mph when you hook the two batteries in series.  I'd say this one goes more like 15 mph or so.

Still, it's a sweet toy and heck, it's an Audi R8.

Umm 15 bit slow but hey like you said it's r8 and has festool on it.

I own a nitro remote control car they are fast they proper scream on full throttle. Well mine you just push forward to goforward to go faster just push forward more and then let go for it to slow down and stop and pull back for the brake to kick in to stop quicker.

GT5 isn't available for PC --- BOO!  [mad]

iRacing.com is really cool if you want the most realistic racing sim. DiRT 2 is pretty cool if you just want to race and have fun.

Battlefield, CoD, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, etc. all fun games.

I prefer gaming on PC rather than consoles.

HAHA! I outed you all as fellow video game nerds! Ya I've only got a PS3 and love it. Really looking forward to GT5 got my wheel setup and working out plans to build a better stand than the one I'm using now. Love the Ps3 for blu-ray and free online play.

Yeah free online but you have to wait 3 hours before you can play online because of all these massive updates it has all the time.  The xbox updates are quick

I have no Idea what you're talking about and I've had my system since launch but to each their own as long as we're all havin fun right?

 

[woodguy7]

Updates !  I switched the xbox on to download the new dashboard & software for the new Kinnect. Half way through & the dreaded "red ring of death" for the second time.  Love the xbox & the online is really good (better than ps3 from what i hear) but this is its last chance.  I got a loan of my brothers xbox elite while he went off shore & it got the RROD as well  [crying]  I had to send 2 back to Germany.

Yes that is the problem with Xbox Ring of death.  You can just simply rap two towels around the xbox for 15 mins or so to over heat the xbox and the xbox will work fine again this is only temp props only last a month and you will get ring of death again.

I got ROD on my first 360 when it was launched had it replaced and has been fine since gave it to my brother because wen the elite came out i wanted that one my brother got the ROD year or so later. Crossed fingers! i have not had nay problems with the elite version from realise date. My brother bought the elite and has had no problems either.  i am thinking of buying the kinect xbox now any way with the solid state hard drive.

[woodguy7]
