So, what did he do with his Mustang, then?

He meant the Mustang that he stolen in the first game.

To a degree, yes. Ever since I first saw that intro movie, I always imagined that Tanner's standard car was a gray first-gen Mustang (albeit a fastback). Granted, I know that it's not always the case within the actual gameplay, but still, I always associate Tanner with the Mustang.

Looks like Tanner is still a dirty cop...LOL
Btw, instead of resizing it, use the thumb bb code. It resizes images 25% and makes them clickable for full size.

I never liked this function because it resizes the file but stays just as large, so you could have a 150 x 150 image load as long as a 2000 x 1000 one because they would both be around 4 MB for example. I see some people on the internet who have absolutely no idea of web design, who use this function on their site and then you come to a page where you've got dozens of little images to click on, and it takes ages to load because they're nothing more than huge "resized" images. There's a PHP function which recreates the images in a very light format, so they're not just small but also quick to load (important if you have a page (or thread) with lots of images). Most of the time that's the reason why I quickly resize them myself

For a forum it's alright I guess, especially if you don't resize them by so much.

It's a simple workaround so it doesn't stretch the forum or get cut off. That was all it was meant for, and all I used was "width=25%" instead of writing some seriously complex PHP code just to display thumbnails.
Here's a 3752 X 4500 image scaled down 25%:
That's not bad at all for being a
huge image.

No it looks good in fact, but it stays a 9.2 MB file

So imagine you're doing this in a picture thread! But for once it's no problem, that's true.

Oh I remember that, Tanner choosing a car hehe

It was posted on Driver-Dimension a few years before the game came out I think. Had totally forgotten!

This was posted on Facebook after many months without news regarding DSF. I guess many people had thought at the time that it was canceled because of the initial reception of Shift.

Cool! Yeah I remember Shift first had a not-so-good reception, but it's crazy how now everyone loves it

I myself was a bit skeptic about it. But now I can't stop playing it

Since a year, every day…

When I first saw it, I had a sort of weird feeling. Personally, I was wondering if this was supposed to be a Driver game or an episode of The Twilight Zone gone wrong. Nevertheless, I figured if it had a '74 Monaco & a DeLorean, it had to be good. I was right, this game is dy-no-mite! It ain't perfect, but it's Driver, and Driver is always good!
