I was having a chat the other day with a friend about fantasy car sets
and what would be great to have in them. We ended up with the idea for a
Star Wars set.
Darth Vader's car is all black and has a rather asthmatic engine noise.
Yoda's is small and green. When you crash he says 'Ah. Learn the tracks
you must'
Obi Wan's has no steering wheel as you must drive it using 'the force' (feedback)
Chewbacca's is brown with *** seats and sounds well rough.
Princess Leia's is white with two strange round lumps on the side.
Luke Skywalker's is a bit noncy but sounds like a light sabre when it
goes past.
Han Solo's is an old piece of junk but gets round the track ok.
Can you tell I'm bored? :)
So, any other car sets that spring to mind?
I dare say Mr Swindells will come up with a Fast Show set, eh Rob? Suit you!

Well the tie fighter and xwing for NFS3 have brought up some memorable
quotes on some lans ive been to :)
Tailing a xwing in a tie you cant help it... "the force is strong with this
one"
ilmore
Two words : "TIE Advanced" ;-) "I have you know!"
For the people on the NROS.... they all know that Yoda says :
"Try not... do, or do not. There is no try.."
(feedback)
And you have his famous catchphrase... "May the Downforce be with you". I
want a Jar-Jar car.. or a Darth Maul car... or a Sebulba car ! (all names
will soon be natural for you people.. just wait 48more days).
I want a special whine mode when he loose.. "But I was going to the Toshi
station to pick some power converters ! whaaaa". :)
No... not at all ;) Btw, for those who aren't really in the knowledge about
the upcoming prequel (the most anticipated movie in history), there is
sequence in the middle of the movie, who is about 15-20minutes long, and
that is actually a race. Yepo a pod race (similar to Ben-Hur, but instead
of horses it's two big reactors). Finally we will have a race in the movie !
Complete with pitstops, drafting, passing, wrecking, cheaters, a climax end,
etc.. !
LucasArts will create a game for this who is going out in stores on May
20th. It's called Star Wars : Episode 1 Racer. You can find more info at
http://www.lucasarts.com/products/starwarsracer/default.htm It has a sense
of speed faster than Wipeout, but has some incredible depth "realism" that
will make this an unique mix between arcade and simulation.

"People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise
how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."

That's where Jeff Gordon got that from(the whine)!!
How about a Lando Calrissian(sp?) car that can slip out of any hairy
situation without so much as a scratch on the paint.
Or a C3PO car as a dummy drone that everyone can slam into the wall every
time they pass it without causing a caution period.
Or an Ewok car that gets more aggressive every time it is rubbed by another
car. The more banged up it gets, the harder it is to get around it.
Or an Emperor Palpatine car that looks all shriveled and useless, but has
loads of misdirected power.
Oh yeah, and the Darth Vader car seems to force his teammates into the wall
if they make even the smallest mistake.
And the Obi-Wan car reappears from time to time - even if destroyed in a
massive crash - to gently nudge other cars out of the way for you.
I could go on. I won't.

Yeah, but did they model the physics of driving through a flaming
methane lake correctly ;-).
