NeoGAF SEPTEMBER 2011 Pick-Up Post! Show Us Your Goods! (Real pics or BAN!)!

Gouken said:
my comments are very true, there are better plates that cost millions, but i did not say i can ram radars without fines, fewer digits = VIP (i got slammed with $1000 in fines yesterday dude, and sometimes up to $3000)

i'll have 802 plate on my Ferrari.

besides that, you're either an emarati, or just naturally bitter.

Dude im not an emirati and im definitely not bitter. Your car is very nice and the plates are nice too - and what i said about the economy is true as well. im just giving the real side of the story - im just saying 4 digit plates are not really VIP unless they are something like "1111" - even then - any sheikh or powerful local would have the equivalent 2 digit or 3 digit plate is all.

And boasting about fines? thats weird. Camera's in Abu Dhabi face the rear so you can easily slow down to not get done. And the dubai camera's are big and blue and every couple of KM's so you know where they are...if you just keep to 130-140kph on Sheikh Zayed Road towards abu dhabi and 120kph or so towards dubai you would be fine.

Kinda jelly of how easy it is to spot your speed cameras. Ours in KSA are disguised as Kia cars, no one suspects those =X.
 
Is anyone else mind blown by these UAE guys talking about lower plate digits and fines for speed cameras? while driving around in Ferrari's and BMW's to pick up Dark Souls.

its like the future went horribly wrong over there.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Lego Star Wars III ... hit $10 much sooner than I was expecting :)

19" LED Toshiba TV. A recent lighting storm blew all kinds of stuff in our house :-( I got this for my mom to replace the kitchen TV.

I hope you didn't pay for those. Ugh, I'm not mad at you, I'm just mad at people holding back content only to nickle and dime you for it.

Well Gouken is pretty well known for being rich as fuck in these threads :)

I think maybe their posts were meant to go into the GAF Gold Members only pickup thread, but somehow got posted in the normie thread.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

The best is the ones in Los Angeles that give a $500 ticket that they conveniently forget to tell you is unenforcable and you don;t have to pay it.

He wasn't alone.
Rokinon 85mm 1.4 next to nikon to m43 adapter

rokinon85primev.jpg


Edit: which btw I would not recommend the fotodiox manual nikon to m43 adapter, this lens is heavy and the adapter does not have the pressure springs to hold it tight when snapped in. So while secure it has the slightest bit of wiggle room in it. The canon fd adapter from same company does not suffer from these shortcomings.

nope! :)

i saw an Aventador at a gas station yesterday, and my Ferrari 458 Italia arrives in November, which you can bet i'll post it in the November pick-up thread :)

It's shit like this that makes me want to stop buying gas.

Nothing against you Gouken, but when I see people who make 30-50K a year per household paying 400-500 a month in gas bills, it makes me pray for the day electric solar powered cars come around.

We can finally/hopefully rid ourselves of this dependence on foreign oil.

Back on topic, picked up TM2:Canyon.. SO GOOD

My girlfiend gave me this today, she won it on eBay.

Needless to say I was blown away, a few months ago we were talking about old games and I mentioned I loved my NES but my parents split up and for some reason my Dad kept the nes and games. Until this day I've never played another NES.
