PROLOGUE  A few days passed since when i had this idea, driving on all the roads of the world during multiple rounds, to visit new places and just have fun, possibly taking some nice snapshot as well. That's why i imediately begun to work on a suitable car for this purpose, the Musashi Motorsports Supra GT.  Today round 1 will begin, time to get ready for what will be a man's task!    A race against the horrible lag and the terrible conditions of the roads in SL. The Musashi Motorsports Supra GT is rerady and waiting in my garage...   More to follow later today..... ^_^ PS: Island sim ownersç if you have a consistant leght of roads in your island sim, let me know and i will inlcude it in the trial's roadmap ^_^ |

Round 1
03-09-2005 15:07
ROUND 1 - PART 1 Race Queen of the Day 1 - Willow Zander  Isn't she a cutie? It is a little after dawn when i reach my test yard in Bruin, that will be both the start and the final goal of the Trial. My cute Race Queen of the say, Willow Zander is already waiting for me on site.  Today's course is fairly simple, Starting in Bruin i will head east until the road will split at Hartwick, there i will turn right and proceed until the crosroads in Frontenac, where i will turn left and face the last traid towards the goal just before the T crossroads in Honeoye.  Just after departure i meet some nice signs of patriotism from some of the new dwellers in Bruin, lag is very low here, and speeding on the brand new road is a pleasure.  Right after entering Cavanaugh i see some very creative people working hard on theiryard, with a sister red Supra parked nearby... I am quite proud of my cars   Leaving Cavanaugh i take a last sight of the Anti matter Air Heads HQ, that group seems full of creative and talented people, better keep an eye of them   The engine roars wildly in front of me as i jump after a steep slope in Hartwick!  |

ROUND 1 - PART 2 In Wakeley my Supra is dwarfed by the might of this biiig dam!  A few seconds later in Missauke i cross one of the new nice wooden bridges Ben Linden built.  In Frontenac i speed in front of a really beautiful build currently under construction...  Just after the crossoroads in Frontenac a cute purple haired girl looks at me from the wall of a club, while the lag becomes a lil heavier, forcing me to reduce speed...  ...But can't stop me as i speed near Deesse et Ange, with some great looking cars on display.  In Honeoye I meet a great sculpture by Lash Xevious, while someone seems to have forgotten one of the brautiful MR2 by Cereal milk on the edge of the road...  ...and after a few seconds i am in sight of the goal!  Round 1 is now ended, as i pose with Willow at the goal.  Today lag was kinda low, and the road was new and in great conditions. How will tomorrow be? Stay tuned! |

Round 2
03-10-2005 12:10
ROUND 2 - PART 1 Race Queen of the Day 2 - Palomma Casanova  Our great model agent decided to come and give me a good luck kiss for today's round.  The start location is in Lily, proceeding straight north-east beyond the crossroads in Honeoye (that was the goal of yesterday's round) to the T intersection in Ontario where i will turn right and will proceed to the goal point in Huron. According to the information i have about the course, the road is still new and in good conditions, but lag is expected to get worse towards the end of the round.  Immediately after the start i reach speed in front of one of the Beckett Motor Works shop in Lily, wit it's great looking cars, while i drive down the slope towards Sutherland....  ... where i drive over the big wood and stone bridge beyond wich i can see a lovely bay and the dam over wich i drove yesterday.  A few second laters i read Pimushe, a really nice sim that is a monument to forests and nature, wonderful!  In Alice i find myself speeding in front of a small little garden surrounded by waterfalls, cute, isn't it?  |

ROUND 2 - PART 2 The lag begins to slowly worsen but the road is still easily driveable as i begin to climb in front of Camelot Creations big castle in Manitoba ...  ... Immediately followed by a cute treehouse appearing on my side.  As soon as i enter Athabasca lags greets me, but i grit my theet and drive on, while i encounter a big futuristic build that contains DNA's DJ shop.  At last i reach the intersection in Ontario, where i turn right to face the last trait of today's route...  ... Speeding in front of some nice looking gardens in Superior...  ... I finally reach Huron, in sight of the goal, in front of an interesting gothic club.  And even today's route is done, the road was still in good conditions and the lag was more than acceptable. Palomma greets me as i turn the engine off. The Musashi Motorsports Supra GT can rest for the night. A long course awaits us tomorrow!  Stay tuned! |

Haha.. Well, this answers a few questions.. A day or two ago, I'd taken it upon myself to walk along some of the roads, just for something to do. Twice, I was buzzed or hit by the same person in a car--which I found surprising, not knowing many people to actually drive in SL. I'd wondered who it was, but discovered after the second time when your av ghosted after your car, and I got a good look at ya. ^.^ Looks like you had fun though, so no hard feelings at all! Good luck on any further legs of yer journey.

Lol, sorry caleb, you probably caught me when i was test driving the car, and looks like the brakes are not it's strongest point, expecially counting the lag ^_^;;;;;; Sometimes i bump into someone and don't even notice until i see the blood on the bonnet when i step out ^_^;;;;

Well this is a thinly-disguised infomercial not only for your car but for Willow LOL.
But since three of the parcels of land you pass are land I am renting out, I'm willing to forgive you : )

From: someone there are much easier and faster ways to advertise my cars Oh? I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this. I can't think of an easier and faster way to reach hundreds of people in the game at 9 p.m. EST, prime time on the East Coast anyway, than by posting in the forum with a scantily-clad girl and a hot motor vehicle LOL. I want one. I even flew out to Frontenac to gawk at that amazing build. Now I want the car LOL.

When this takes at least 2 hours every day between chosing the course, planning, contacting the model, actually driving, taking the pics and posting the, it becomes commercially disadvantageous, compared to other advertising methods such as metaadverse. If i wanted to advertise i would sure do something less time and energy consuming. Maybe you should try to rediscover the pleasure of doing things just for fun. |
