Anyone up for this? If so i'll see how exactly we'd work it and minimum system "specs"
Think the sport could take off? lol

Sounds like a laugh to me. Could also be useful for that Channel 5 thing you were on about.

There needs to be something to make it Car PC specific - else anyone with sat nav in their '3-series' would be just as good, lol

And I thought you were planning a multiplayer car PC fragfest at one of the meets.

Everyone load Half-life on their Car PC, I've got a 16 port Hub in the boot at the moment, and an inverter to run it.

lol what about multiplayer racing games - virtual street racing meets real street racing everyone racing at a track from their drivers seat with cat5 connecting em together

haha

rofl - now your thinking - an outdoor frag fest, GPS games, and a meet

what about wlan down round the M25 with the passengers having a fragfest? Commuting meets pro-gaming - Could catch on!

How about this, a game that times your transit between various points on the freeway and periodically uploads it to a server that has a scoreboard. A bunch of y'all in england might use the M23 (or whatever you call it) to take the same stretch of road between South Gloucestire and the Bogtoggles burrough of London, and whoever has the fastest transit through there (as measured by GPS) wins. We could do the same in LA with certain stretches of the 405 or 10, for example.

Hmmmm a fleet of transits with carputers interesting




or

It's worth buying a transit just to house your carputer, you could run a mobile data centre service or (as I would prolly wanna do) have a load of PCs in the back just like the spy vans in the movies with a rotating satellite on the back lol

LMAO...

well sheeeeet, now ya'll are makin me wish i lived in the UK, sounds fun =)
