THE BEST BITS FROM THE BRIAN ORGLES MEETING FROM AERNA ESSEX. THE WAR BETWEEN THE GLADIATORS (WHITE CARS) AND THE BAD COMPANY (BLACK AND BLUE CARS) STILL RAGES ON AND I THINK THE BAD COMPANY CAME OUT ON TOP THIS WEEK BUT THE GLADS DID HAVE THE BIGGER CARS EVEN THOUGH BAD CO. PUT THEM IN HARD IN THE LAST TWO RACES WITH SOME OF THE GLADS PICKING UP A FEW KNOCKS ALONG THE WAY WITH SMITHY SR WITH A BROKEN ARM AFTER THE BAD COMPANYS MONDEO CAME THROUGH THE DOORS OF HIS VOLVO AND ALSO ONE OF THE GLADS CUT HIS NOSE IN THE PITS NEEDING STICHES. SO A GOOD MEETING OVERALL FOR THE BAD COMPANY BUT I AM SURE THE GLADS WILL BE BACK. THEY HAVE ALOT OF CARS IN STOCK FOR THE UPCOMING MEETINGS 2L AND THE BIG CARS SO THERES STILL PLENTY OF WARRING STILL TO COME THIS YEAR.

okay, so this is the thing that all american car lovers hate to see. but as much as we hate seeing it, we have to accept the fact that its real. i don't know why so many classic cars are of the road and rotting away. this is by far the worst junkyard i have ever seen in my life. cars grown over by moss and hardly recognisable. if the moss keeps growing which it will, then no one will know that there are cars there,

Classic Game Room reviews TOKYO XTREME RACER 1 for the Sega Dreamcast video game console. This old school review from back in the year 2000 looks at an excellent driving/gang warfare game on the Sega Dreamcast video game system. This game is so addictive you can't put it down. Race on the highway in a variety of cars that aren't real cars but sure as hell look like real cars from Toyota, Subaru, Nissan, Honda and Mazda. Race all over Japan's freeway system and compete against rival gangs in this extremely fun and well made arcade racer. You can rice-boy your car out with wings, body work and mufflers and all kinds of crap to make it go faster. It's like gang warfare without machine guns, just fast cars. If you like race car games like Forza 2 and Gran Turismo 5 but also like arcade racers then this game is right up your alley. It's a lot of fun and addictive, gameplay is solid and the footage shows this. In a chance to redeem ourself from the ill-fated Perfect Dark review that nobody liked, here's the Classic Game Room review show review of TOKYO XTREME RACER 1! Not Tokyo Extreme Racer, that has an "e" in it! We also reviewed Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 in a separate review. Do you remember the rock band XTREME and "More Than Words?" Screw that! This is Tokyo XTREME Racer! XXXTREME!

This is the LAST original Classic Game Room review recorded from season 1 in 2000. This swan song from the original CGR team is a review of the tremendous TOKYO XTREME RACER 2 for the Sega Dreamcast, the sequel to Tokyo Extreme Racer 1. Modifiy your cars and race them on the highway against competing gangs! Excellent gameplay, addictive features and mesmerizing action made this game one of the more unique racers on the Dreamcast. It was an improvement from Tokyo Xtreme Racing 1 with more cars, a bigger highway system and more customizable options. The footage shows the amount of fun we had and mayhem that we caused while tearing around the freeways in Los Angeles in our Nissan Skyline and Acura NSX (even though the cars weren't really called that in the game)). Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 is a must have for fans of the Sega Dreamcast looking for a fun and exciting driving game that doesn't quite fit the mold of games like Ferrari F355 Challenge or Test Drive Le Mans. If you like import tuners and modifying your car with huge mufflers, wings and body moldings... and then going out on gang war crusades against lame ass games in Tokyo (or LA, whatever) then this game is for you! Classic Game Room brings you the best in video game reviews from all kings of game systems and arcade classics, past and present!

The Electric Starion is now at a drivable state and we take her for a spin at the annual electric car show in Sydney. Some say that by international standards, the AEVA show is probably not a huge event, but conversely, for a small population, there is a high proportion of interest in EVs in Australia plus R&D attracting international attention, despite little interest from the government to date (although the recent Climate Ready initiative may change this). Many types of makes and models of new and old cars converted to electric drive were on display; regular daily commute vehicles, sports cars, classic cars, electric bikes, roadsters, hotrods and even a Formula 'E' race car. The 'H' word was well and truly overshadowed by 'full EV' and many people were interested in how to get their own fully-electric cars. There was one vehicle, a Prius with a K2 battery pack for extended range; these are small lithium phosphate cells up to 3200 milliamp hour, banded together into modules to make up the required voltages and they have a high energy density and handle a high charging current, ideal for regen braking. There's a test review which explains this better, at http://zeva.com.au/tech/K2/ and from there a link to the K2 Energy site where you'll find a video comparison of the cobalt and phosphate impact penetration test. As for my Starion, with an adjustment on the Curtis trimpots, it drove well, gear changing was minimal (we tried 2nd and 3rd starts (and not game for a 1st start test yet) and essentially we're convinced that I'll only ever need to drive in second or third gear as there is so much torque in the Kostov. Reverse gear exhibits a typically higher torque (not as high as first), and as seen in many EVs reversing will have to be handled carefully but further refinement will be looked into, and all in all, the Starion drove like a regular car - a regular Starion in fact with all the handling (including drift test) expected in a sports car. There was no noticeable increase in weight and the batteries delivered the power quickly as expected. We're still a little ways off completing the project as there is calibration to do, incline tests, road compliance and a couple of areas that need respray, some minor body fixes and so on. Overall though, very exciting. Apologies again for the shaky camera, there were so many people bumping around (and a Nokia N93 is not that noticeable compared to the larger cameras the media had), and I really should write a new piece of music (hope this old one's okay). Keep watching http://electriccarsforeveryone.com for updates and Nathan's http://www.converturcar.com website for news and info on upcoming vehicles to convert.
