    Hi OTHG'STERS,

    Well the crazy weather continues here........

    Mid 60's yesterday day and last night lows were in the 50's 🙃

    The 50's at night a week or so it was -10 !

    Now 60 - 70 degrees (F) when the normal high would be 20 - 30 blows

    me away ! ........& next week it will probably be 10 with 2 feet of snow 🤔


    The poor mountain needs cold & lots of snow for the skiing, snowboarding....

    all the winter sports ,will have miles of slush covered trails 😔


    WRECKFEST SATURDAY NIGHT:

    Was just me & Matt for 10 or so races but we did get the 20 win MP Achievo

    for Matt ! Now both of us have 1000/1000 on Wreckfest !


    Just resting today..... have some NFL FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS & or course......

    many hours of recorded MECUM CLASSIC CAR AUCTION ahead of me 😆


    It still blows me away the amount of sweet rare cars that show up at these

    Auctions ! They had a 82' VETTE ( Indy pace car ) with 8 miles ! " 8 " ! ! !

    It never had even dealers prep done to it ( that gets it ready for sale )

    That means the center chrome rim caps were still in a bag,no floor mats

    installed ( in the car but not installed ) So basically it's a mint condition 82'

    Vette that never made it onto the showroom floor !

    So many low mileage,mint,limited edition, concept cars/trucks & other rides

    that people are still finding & restoring it's cool 😎


    I will be around latter grinding Matt's HLC picks if anyone else is arounder

    please drop in for a chat..... thanx gang have a great week !



    Rude. & Gerbs ..... I will see you guys in a party for sure l! 😉😉

    Hi, all.

    Boss, I'm sure you will catch up with us soon enough.

    Only been nibbling at Trials lately, watching films still, and have even played a bit of COD MP. A nice change of scenery. Cancelled GP and Live for now as I'm not on XB much (apart from films) so didn't feel it was worth it. I can still share our lad's Gold account and can just renew mine when I'm back gaming full time.

    How long are we running Matt's tracks for? The whole month maybe, whilst we get our bearings. I, or Boss will catch up with Nath and D2, see if they'e still interested in picking the HLC's for a round.

    Next Pickers:

    Matt (Jan 2020?)
    Nath Date TBC
    D2 Date TBC
    Gerb/Mo TBC
    Rude Date TBC
    Cal TBC
    Roy TBC
    Pete TBC
    Boop?

    Boss, love the sound of those auctions. I bet there are are some dream classics amongst that lot.

    Don't forget the HLC Build Off....Although I haven't started yet lol.

    In a bit, all.

    KTF.

    Hi OTHG'STERS,


    Hope you all are well as we start 2020 & head towards year 8 of the OTHG 😉

    @Roy..... I guess we can use OTHG 2020 SBC ( Spring Building Challenge )

    for the pro builders & for us track building noobs.............


    OTHG 2020 SBC(R) ( Spring Build Challenge Rookies ) & we will shoot for the

    end of March as a deadline 😎 You can post the tracks anytime after

    March 1st.... that way they all kinda drop at the same time ! I hope we can get

    at least 5 for each group ( Pro's & Rookies ) Just have fun with it , no theme &

    try for a diamond run of 20 seconds minimum..... THANK-YOU !


    & Roy ..... sorry buddy it sounded like you wanted to drop the build soon well

    you can if you want & build another one for the challenge or if the build you

    have now is good for a 6 Bike / 1 Track Challenge that would be cool !


    @Rude..... There is another big auction the week The Barrett Jackson Auction !

    You guys should have coverage over there.... The Motor trend Channel......

    Well over 30 hours live ( started yesterday from Scottsdale Arizona )


    I haven't looked a the docket but I did see a few million + dollar Shelby Cobras

    in one of the showrooms ! They are also streaming it LIVE every day !

    The Barrett Jackson Auction ( Scottsdale Arizona ) Check it out, you won't

    belive the rides & super low mileage cars ! The first few days are beginner

    rides for new collectors or someone looking for that special car,truck...etc.


    They start in the 5K - 50K range the first couple of days with a few heavy

    hitters mixed in ( 100K + ) & the prices go up as the week moves on......

    So by Saturday most of the cars are 100,000 plus and then the stars of the

    auction show up & could sell for as much as a1,000,000 million dollars + ✌😎

    (Update)

    Well looks like there is some good stuff .......

    1.) The 1st 2020 mid-engine Vette Ser.# 001 😲 1 million easy !

    2.) The late Paul Walker ( R.I.P ) Collection 14 of his personal rides ❤

    3.) 12 - 2005-06 Ford GT's ( No Reserve ) 250K - 500K each depending on miles !

    4.) Also most of the rides are going up with ( No Reserve ) that take guts or

    you know that it's worth good money and more 😉

    5.) All kinds of classic muscle,drag & sports cars,some of the best in the world !

    Should be one heck of a sweet auction ✌😎




    Gaming with The Boss.....

    I know you all are waiting with excitement to hear what I'm playing now so I

    won't let you down ...... ( Run I feel a Fallout 76 rave coming 😲 )

    Well yes I'm still playing FO76 & I'm @ level 81 & hope to hit 100 by the update !


    Speaking of the Wastelanders update.... A testing sever opens next week 😆

    I tried but it's PC only.... so if that goes ok we are looking a late Feb. early

    March for the Big Mega Huge Free Wastelanders update ✌😎 Yes I'm Hyped !


    Now other than FO76, I am loving Forza Horizon 4 but the only problem is that

    I spend as much time in the paint shop as I do roaming the roads and racing

    but that's ok I'm trying the Shakey method..... just a little at a time and make it

    last & enjoy the racing,roaming & paint design work! The game offers so much.


    & I will leave the best for last ..... NASCAR HEAT 4


    Wow that game is a full blown sim.... you can own teams and multiple cars,

    trucks and dirt track rides and manage the whole works or just join a team

    & drive 🤔 I'm gonna try alot of both.... like for the main Nascar division you

    Can own short track,big oval,super speedway & road course cars all with

    different setups for each type of track ! Very cool 😉


    The Dirt series has been a real joy, sliding those cars around the track @ 150+

    So that leaves me plenty to keep me busy plus getting my ...........

    OTHG " OverTheHills & through the woods track built by Spring !



    So we still have Matt's HLC's to run.... the club house will be open today

    please stop by for a visit.... especially Rude & Gerbs , I miss my buddies ✌🙄


    Yes.... my 1st Mega post of 2020 ( Don't think we need the meter for this one ! )



    See you in the club house..... Let's party up & have some fun 2020 style !

    Howdy All. Apologies for not dropping in for a few weeks, Been busy with real-life stuff and also been taking a much-needed break away from trials and the editor (well, not completely as I have been playing trials frontier on my phone )

    Never really got into frontier as my old phones were pretty cheap and basic. It performs much better on my new phone so have been enjoying it (apart from the constant ads).

    I will be back on Rising soon as I am already starting to miss it and will go through my favourites to find some tracks for HLC picks, Will post on Feb 1st if that's OK for everyone! and it will give those of us who haven't been on lately a chance to run Matts picks.

    Looking forward to the OTHG build-off comps, and will begin building a track soon.

    Take care gang

    The Othg has always been a good place for me sorry I haven’t been good for it

    @boss sorry I haven’t joined parties but I just haven’t felt up to it and the longer it’s left the harder it is to join

    I keep meaning to getting back to streaming but find myself doing nothing but vegetate

    Maybe one day

    Hope your all well guys

    Hope it picks up for you soon Gerbs! I know all about depression as it is something I have battled with all my adult life. I used to have it really bad and was on all kinds of meds to help manage it but nowadays I'm off all the meds and a lot more in control of it all.

    Still have my ups and downs but now I try to get out for walks/exercise as much as I can when I can feel it coming. Helps me loads... But I know sometimes it's all too easy to vegetate and try to ride it out.

    Take care pal and hope to see u back soon
