    Impulse got a reaction from Diddums in Fresh start: WoW Classic 2.0

    Bet you're kicking yourself for selling that E46!
     
    Honestly your posts are basically me in another life. If I didn't life in London where stuff like that is either stolen / vandalized/ battered by bingo bints in car parks, or require £lol to either insure it for on-street parking or pay £lol for off street parking, I'd be all over that.
     
    Anyway. Cooper S, R53? R56? F56? We drive a Mini, an old one, bought it for my wife a few years ago and she loves it, probably gonna upgrade it next year, seriously considering a Countryman Cooper S having driven one, we want the extra space and it's the only SUV-ish car that still has that Mini funkiness to it. A contender was the 500x but it feels bargain bin compared to the Mini. 

    Also I hope god has forgiven you for putting those blue wheels on that 987 or you're gonna have a bad time in hell.
     
    As for class, I'm a priest, @J&B is a warrior, @Middle Class Caveman is a rogue, @Misneach_ is a pally, and @GazzaGarratt is probably gonna be a mage, so prolly huntard or lock? Up to you.

    I did join the WoW server although choosing a class is a pain. I’m thinking Mage (I read there are way too many mages) because of the AoE and I like to grind and farm, or a Huntard, any advice is welcome! 
     
    I can talk cars and motors all day haha, at the moment I’m just driving a Mini Cooper S and I have an SV650 project bike. I’m saving up for a classic Subaru RB5 or RA at the moment as it’s been my dream car since I first heard the boxer rumble! I change cars and bikes like I change my pants tho! (Every 6 months! Haha) 
     
    here’s a few of my past toys. 
     
    p.s the video from that last picture is very much gone haha. I remember thinking... can’t be that deep! Little did I know it was an obstacle for tanks lol

    Not tried AC:C yet but I've read that it beats PC2 in the way the cars handle and feel. I like the graphics from PC2, the force feedback from rFactor and the handling from Assetto lol. 
     
    Most of my work is purely aluminium bodies for 1930's race cars usually MG's, comes in a bare chassis and goes away an un-painted car, ready for the customer to paint and trim etc. Every now and then we'll take on or do our own full build. The Maserati is a 300s actually built on a Maserati chassis, this was my boss's personal car and also my favorite lol, the polished Jaguar D type was a fun little car, although between that and the polished hot-rod I decided i'm never going to polish another car again. I spent 6 months polishing that hot-rod! Going from an 80 grit sand paper all the way to 1200 and then 3 different pastes haha. The dark grey car was a Jaguar XK150 which was built into a made up special, this was our most recent full build. The last picture is my workshop at the moment, Got a 1930's MG Q Type (full build, painted, ready to drive away) an MGA Special in the background and another 1930's MG Special to the right 🙂 All them nice cars and i'm working on a pair of rusty 1950's Alfa Zegato seats haha. 
     
    There's some more pictures of the Jaguar and more of a detailed look from the dealer that bought it from us Here
    and a better write up and detailed shots of the Maserati (same dealer) Here  
    This is an AC Cobra with a bespoke gulwing roof, I was just starting out when my uncle/boss was starting this one (same dealer) lol Here
     
    These 3 and the unfinished MGA Special were my uncles personal cars purely made to sell, the dealer has seen the MGA so maybe he'll have that as well haha

    Hey everyone, 
     
    So, introduce myself....
     
    Well my name is Tom, I've been gaming since dial-up (that makes me feel old! i'm talking 28.8k and when someone phoned the house the internet turned off!) Started by playing mmorpg's like Legends of Mir, Myth of Soma, Darkeden (2d games haha) and that's when I found my first ever forums, called Leetnetwork. The best bunch of assholes I've ever met lol and coming back to PC gaming I found there's not many community forums out there. "Back in my day" lol forums were the main way of meeting other gamers then adding them on msn messenger :P as a community we helped each other, I learnt Photoshop through them, owned and hosted servers etc. I found that's what I missed the most, I'll be honest I missed out on Twitch, Discord, Mixer and all that stuff so I'm a tiny bit lost!
     
    I've been playing on xbox one for a while now and haven't had a gaming PC for over 10 years, so decided to treat myself in the black Friday sales! Built my new PC last night :D Sadly I only have 1 other "PC Friend" lol so i'm hoping to meet some new ones here! 
     
    Games i'm hoping to play are, Modern Warfare, WoW Classic, Battlefield series, Arma, Escape Takerov maybe a bit of minecraft :P Also love a bit of VR sim racing, iRacing, Assetto Corsa, Project Cars etc. 
     
    I've been doing some research into streaming, dunno if anyone on here does it? I enjoy watching it and playing in a group looks so much more fun! I've been doing some signing up on various platforms (someone told me I could play my Xbox digital games on PC) was very annoyed when I found out I couldn't! So here are some of my ID's

    Nice 🙂 Yeah the VR is amazing.  After trying Crispy's PSVR, I picked up one cheap and can use it on PC too.  It isn't the best but then my PC wouldn't run the high end headsets anyway.  GT3's you say, you'll fit it nicely 🙂 certainly my favourite class and Phil likes it too.  Have you tried AC:C? I'm tempted to buy it but hoping it goes on sale at some point.
     
    What cars do you build? restorations? restomods? etc.  I'd be interested to read more, see pictures of the cars you've built.

    So far I've downloaded Modern Warfare and WoW Classic, going back to a keyboard and mouse feels so strange! I feel like my KDR is gunna take a massive hit haha. Man I used to love Delta Force, was my first introduction to playing against hackers lol, they could lay down on the map but aim from the sky lol. I'm pretty sure i'm gunna download Dark Eden just for old times sake, I think I was the first level 100 on Dark Eden (official one, cant remember the name). I'm pretty sure I was playing Legend of Mir when 512k internet came out lol. 
     
    The VR rig I go on is my boss's, it's in my workshop. Oculus CV1 with a G27 wheel and pedals. We knocked up an aluminium racing seat setup, I really can't get over how good the immersion is with the headset! I mainly race GT3 but I love all the historic racing classes, I build vintage and classic cars as a job so getting to race classics and actually be in the car is pretty neat. 
     
    I'll check out the guys playing WoW and find out how I can get my activision ID for CoD. Need to get myself a headset as well.

    Welcome aboard Impulse! (Or Tom if you prefer that) Sounds like you'll fit in well here. Not a PC gamer myself, at least not since the days of Counter Strike Source 😄 but there's a couple others on here who play some of the games you've mentioned. I know there's at least 5 people curretly geeking out about WoW Classic, I also think there's some people on Minecraft.
     
    Anyways, I hope you enjoy your stay and find some people to play with, we're a bit odd, but hopefully that wont bother you too much 😄

    Welcome to the forum, there’s not enough racers on this forum so nice to gain another one.  What set up do you have for your sim racing? Any particular class you like racing?
     
    We have a GT Sport time trial generally ticking over for a bit of fun.  Though PC wise I know Phil and I have Project Cars 2 so maybe we get some racing done.  I don’t know if Phil has any other pc sims though I’ve also got AC, LFS and R3.  I’ve got an iRacing account too but no active subscription at the moment.
     
    We also do have a Minecraft server running.  Currently we have it running the Sky Factory 3 mod pack.  We have a section on it further down though know I’m remembering that our server IP address changed and I don’t think I’ve ever updated the thread - oops.  If you want to join though, drop me your name and I can whitelist you.

    You'll be in good company on WoW Classic for sure, casual as you like and all for fun. You should also have some on MW aswell. Alot of us on PS4 but there is crossplay so let's send some Activision ID invites out there.
