The One and Only TnT is ending his over 2 year TS driving 20 May with a Retirement Race. In these races we will drive 3 tracks made by me.
The race will begin 21 GMT (23 o´clock in Finland). I will write a memory-story about my times in TS and I hope it could be "published" on some page...
I thank u all guys already now for all the times we have had on the track and outside the track. I hope I have left something to all of u, not only bad memories... Very Happy

Btw, 21:00 GMT is 0:00 in Finland now due to the Daylight Savings Time.
And TURBOSPEEDER (very original name...), last year it was supposed for me to end my career, but we had a missunderstanding with waza about the SITs.
K.I.A. = Killer In Action
From Ãœbernoob to a Legend
First a little Introduction of myself. I´m Tommy, aka TnT or Die-Hard or Legend. Soon a 19-year old "student" from Finland, the home of TS!!!
Somewhere around April and May 2004, I saw a game on mbnet.fi as the Game of the Day. It was Turbo Sliders 0.86, a nice looking racing game that you could play online. It sounded good, and it was also a Finnish game, so I had to try. At the first seconds I was hooked. The game was everything I wanted in that time, a simple game that an idiot could play (don´t ask how I was able to play it...) and you didn´t have to play against stupid computerplayers... FINALY!!!
At first I was careful with my behaviour, but I found my place soon, as Die-Hard, the driver who couldn´t use the breakes in the turns. Despite of my methods of winning, I became a very good driver in 0.86 and most of the drivers knew who I was. I met some very good drivers in that version, just don´t remember who. On the summer -04 I played TS every day, and I realized I was addicted to the game, so I had a break from the game. As year 2004 was coming to the end I had changed my drivingskills, because I realized I had showed a veeeeery bad example to all the new drivers how to play the game, I was like the King of Noobs. Until winter -04 I hadn´t saw myself as a good driver, but then I got an e-mail from the creator of the game that I had been chosen to be a betatester for 0.98beta and later 1.00. At this point, I started to think I could become pretty good at this game. Didn´t happen...
As 1.00 came and I already got the full version of the game, I started to play TS again pretty much. As first I drove as Die-Hard again and with Antislider, but I saw there was a new car, Spinner, which was almost like Triangle in Generally. Triangle was my car in Generally at those times so I started to drive with Spinner. Everything seemed well at that time, but Die-Hard was a old thing already, I needed something new and more sexier, TnT. The history of the name TnT is stupid, so I just have to tell it.
Once we played Tekken 3 with my two best friends, and I was very good at the game. We had our own names for some moves, like kicks or different special hits. Yoshimitsu, which was my character, had a spinningkick we called Dynamitekick. I used it a lot because it was so goooood, and I won almost everytime I played with Yoshimitsu. One day my friends said that I was so Dynamite (because I used the Dynamitekick so much), so I started to think that could be a good name. After that, TnT has been at almost every place.
At the beginning of the new version, I met some good drivers and friends, like Palomies. I saw myself as the lonely wolf because I wanted to be TnT, not [KAOS] TnT or something other. I tried so hard to just be TnT, but nope, it didn´t go well. I met [WP] Pappa, who is the best friend to me in TS. He was a good driver like Daft who was also in WP, so I thought that this team is a team I can join. Ofcourse, Pappa, Daft and Palomies aren´t the only good friends I met. Punatiainen, Wazaari and many others became friends at the early year 2005. And riQ became my nr. 1 enemy, and I´m still the better rough driver of us two, BUHAHAHAHAAA!!!
At summer 2005 the game started to be a huge thing, when OOT and ippon-cups started to come. I didn´t do well at any of those, but I started to meet more drivers and I started to get a name to myself. And Jarno came and started to drive with Spinner also, but I still see me as the Spinner driver (SPINNER 4 EVER ON RANDOM AND FUN TRACKS SERVERS!!!). At the end of summer I had already became a friend with ippons, oranges and a whole other drivers, like Mike Nike, Tijny (the best driver in TS) and some other noobs. And then it happened, the big scandal in ippon-team, Devil and Palomies... Oh yeah, I remember how the friendship of me, Palomies and Devil was exploded to pieces in those times, Palomies I could still stand but Devil got a piece of my anger, after that he didn´t show his face to me anymore (guess what I did...).
At summer and spring -05 punaball started to be a hit again, so I started to play it pretty much. There I got to know better to Punatiainen, Tijny and Mike Nike (I have beaten them all, and lost). I also became a big hit in punaball, don´t know because I were good or just that I could open a server... At the same time Ippon started to be a big team in TS, and I helped Waza and Dede in different cups. And then the big hit came, SIT. SIT was a result of some discussion between Waza, Dede and me (don´t know had I anything to do with it but let´s say so), and in my original plans it was meant that I would have retired already in winter -05 after all SITs were driven. But we had a missunderstanding between Waza and me, so I stayed and made more drivers life a hell. I think the biggest highlight in SITs was in SIT 2 when I was 10th, after I played for my team and let Kyna go to the final instead of me (STUPID MEEE!!!). Well 10th is the best cup position I have had. And SIT 2 was a rough cup, and I have realized that I am at my best when we drive rough. In Wazaari Demo Knockout Team Cup (31/07/2005) WP was 3rd when Pappa, Kyna and me drove. But still, the biggest highlight and most memorable moment in TS and with ippon-team is IPPON vs WP friendly match!!! and the 3-0 win of Waza with Spinner. And WP won the whole thing with 8-7 points!!!
What comes to this year, it has been a glad to drive with everyone. Many cups, lot of punaball and X-bowl!!! X-bowl is maybe the gamemode I am best in, don´t remeber at what position I was in OOT-8, the X-Bowl OOT, but I guess pretty good. I haven´t been so inspired to drive normal races in TS this year, I think X-bowl, Disable and Punaball have been more fun. I wanked pretty hard in the beginning of -06 on the Original tracks to get a good overall time for Spinner, but I got bored to that. Ofcourse it has been a pleasure to drive with everyone, and the EA-F1 would have been better if there would have been a server that wouldn´t have lagged to much. And Punas Antislidercups has also been fun to drive because riQ is often there. All the cups, big and small, have been good this year, BUT leave the lapwankingcups, it´s not racing. I love this game because you can race, crash and burn with drivers all over the world. And now the game is almost as good as it can be, and I think I don´t have anything new to see anymore.
And to the end some personal thanks. To the creator of TS, a big thank you for giving me the license. Drivers in 0.86 (don´t know if anyone drives anymore), thanks for the good old times and that you could stand me, which you couldn´t. Palomies and Devil, for the friendship we once had. riQ, for just being himself and a good enemy. Jarno, Tijny, Mike Nike, for just being so good drivers, maybe you learned some of your skills from me (NOT). Punatiainen for being a good friend to me from the very beginning. Powerhead, Peto and other drivers from Finland for just driving. Pappa who took me to his team. The whole WP team who has fought in SITs and in rough cups with me. Wazaari who is my best outlandish friend in TS, thanks for listening to me and for loosing to me in the IPPON VS WP match 3-0, and also for all of our PB matches and Spinner drivings. Dede for all PB matches and races. And still a big THANK YOU to everyone for driving with me and having a fight with me, maybe I have given you some memories, if not good so at least something bad, that´s for sure. I will miss this game, but I have made the decision to leave it and let the youngsters take over now. I MIGHT come back and drive some rough cups now and then, but it´s not so likely. DAMN I have wroted much, maybe it´s time to end this and let the wire burn to the end at 20th May, when The One And Only TnT, Killer In Action, is in action for the last time!!!
