Talking ***Wolvers' Dirt2 Competition***

Dirt2 will be released on PC soon (4th December) and I for one am looking forward to some sideways action with lovely new DX11 effects.



I have one spare download voucher for Dirt2 so, rather than just give it to the first to reply, lets have a competition!

All you have to do is guess my weight in kg (including jeans, trainers and a t-shirt) to the nearest kg. In the event of two guesses being the same amount either side of the actual weight, then it will go to the lowest guess as I'm easily flattered! Also, you can't make the same guess that has already taken so don't hesitate with your choices.

The competition will end at midnight of Thursday 19th November and I will be weighed at midday on Friday 20th November........before having lunch! It will be rounded up to the nearest whole kg.

I'll try to keep post #2 updated with a list of guesses but make sure you check the thread before making your guess to prevent being disappointed.

Good luck!

Edit; I think we'll have a 25 post minimum for entry into the comp so that only genuine forum members get a chance.

Re: ***Wolvers' Dirt2 Competition***

I would say your 43 stone which is 273Kg. This is after a cadburys flake, a pop tart and some gel in your hair.

Was I close?

(BTW I am not a racing fan so I hope someone else comes closer to your weight than me, I just didn't want to be left out of the fun)

Re: ***Wolvers' Dirt2 Competition***

A pic would make it far too easy and less like guesswork!

I'm going to have a guess at 92kg

Re: ***Wolvers' Dirt2 Competition***

30 odd views and only 3 guesses . Well genuine ones anyway, Razor you're banned for suggesting that I put gel in my hair!!

Mark is right, a photo would make it far too easy. Come on, lets have some more guesses.

Re: ***Wolvers' Dirt2 Competition***

5850 kg.


p.s. does anyone else think calling it "Colin McRae's Dirt 2" is a bit tasteless now? It's too much like "Colin McRae Is Dirt Too"

Re: ***Wolvers' Dirt2 Competition***

wolvers, tell me to mind my own business but I think members who still have the new member status shouldn't be allowed to enter the competiton.

I'd hate for Bob down the road to sign up just to enter this and win it.

Oh and nice gesture giving the game away.

I'm hoping it goes to someone deserving

I've set it to 25 post minimum for that exact reason. Should I set it higher?

How many does someone have to have to not have new member status anymore?

Re: ***Wolvers' Dirt2 Competition***

Mmmmm wolvers.

i reckon skin and bone at around 25kg, I'd predict your a man with plenty of heart so I'll take a punt at that weighing around 25kg and finally I'd say a decent amount of intelligence so I'll weigh your cerebal cortex at around 22kg, therefore a healthy.........

72kg

(I already have a download code that came with my HD5850 but just wanted to join in the fun so obviously don't include me as part of the comp

great idea by the way matey

Re: ***Wolvers' Dirt2 Competition***

Might be a little easier to keep them sorted by guessed weight wolvers, so it's a little easier to see what's not yet taken.

Hawklord - 68kg
Gordon B - 70kg
NiggyG - 72kg
Tejstar - 75kg
Sheepish - 76kg
nero0410 - 77kg
insomniak123 - 79kg
Sniper Ash6 - 82kg
CraigofScotland - 83kg
Sunshinewelly - 84kg
Clunk - 89kg
lever.mark - 92kg
mrbobc - 96kg


That's only 13 people though (14 if Agus finally manages to pick his own ).

Come on folks - surely there are more of you out there who want a free game/fancy calling an AVF regular an overweight keyboard jockey?
