VWS is a car which is Volkswagen Scirocco. Developers announced this car for to LFS, and will be coming sometimes, maybe soon. Why this car, they liked to choose this car and it's a good choice in their opinion. Of Course, not all people likes Volkswagen Scirocco, but sure thing is that LFS will be more popular than now after releasing new patch. Any Questions?

Yeah. Who are you talking to?

Any ice hockey fans here? Now that the qualifing rounds are over the really good games begin. I have to say that usually the big teams take wins over smaller teams quite easily but there have been quite a lot of surprises this year: Latvia beating Sweden, Belarus beating Finland and most recently the Swiss beating USA, also Slovakia missing out of quarterfinals. I guess the surprises have a lot to do with the fact that many players are still stuck in NHL.

Anyway quarterfinal pairs:
Russia vs Belarus
Finland vs USA
Canada vs Latvia
Sweden vs Czech Republic

I think Russia, Finland and Canada will advance quite easily and Sweden vs Czech rep. will be a close game.

Quote from amp88 :

If 1% of the fans are racist and you ban all of them there will be no racism. It's logical.

What's even more logical is to ban only that 1%.

That video is a bit...

I've lived for long enough to see and hear about terrible things that happen in this world. Maybe I'm a cold bastard but seeing a puppy sitting in the rain doesn't make me curl up in a corner to sob.

Quote from brt900 :

you could get a caterham or westfield something along them lines

Caterham or Westfield as a daily driver?!

EDIT: Yeah, yeah, too slow... move along.

I seriously doubt Spaniards hate him because his black. They hate him for the stuff that happened while Alonso and Hamilton were together in Mclaren. And when someone really wants to insult someone, they use words that really get to that someone.

Location: away from Denver.

Skipping town will only make things worse. You wouldn't want some hairy men asking you to pick up the soap in the shower, now would you?

Stronger? Then it's still footballers. F1 racers are short and skinny. They're 165-175 cm tall and are on a heavy diet to keep their weight down. The only part physically stronger on a racer is their neck muscles.

Fitter? They both have to fit. But since a football match and a GP take roughly the same time and a footbaler uses twice as much energy during that time, then saying racers have to be more fit is kind of far fetched.

Tbh, it seems you're just changing the question so that you'd be right and you're still not. Next time say "oh yeah, I meant mental strength, damn my English". Then I could agree that it's the racer.

Quote from GrIp DrIvEr :

No I didn't. I need to have legal rights to actually carry out the bet, it is illegal in some cases to even bet on the internet like this, I am not over 18, and it needs to be somehow approved, in my case, the US government. Also, you have no right whatsoever to take money from me, and I also have no idea where you even live.

So you did something you didn't have the legal right to do? I would pay mrodgers to shut him up, otherwise there might be cops knocking on your door soon.

Wait, what? Pink isn't cool?!?!

A skin pack? Sounds good, I'm in. I'll give it a shot. How do you feel about carbon fiber? Also, I can only do skinning in paint, so I think I could do a few skin copies from other skins if that's okay.

He loves carbon fiber. Go for it. I would also recommend making drift skins. That might increase the chances of you winning. Good luck.

Quote from hazaky :

Wich radio is that? o,O

I assume that its Raadio2?

Well, ofcourse. Juur ja Kivirähk. "Rahva oma kaitse". I wouldn't have expected that I have to explain it to another Estonian.

I usually mute the sound on the TV and listen to the radio commentary. We have two really funny guys who commentate it and they get progressively more drunk as the show goes on. In the end they compare which perfomer has the biggest boobs, etc.

Eurovision is so popular because it is such a freak show. It's just so ridiculous that it becomes entertaining, especially the more drunk you get.

Quote from samjh :

In terms of energy per unit time...

I suspect that might be 100 meter dash. It only takes around 10 seconds but the runners are really spent after it.

But the question was "racer or footballer". And since even the most grueling type of racing (F1) takes less energy than football, I would say Chano hypothesis is utterly and completely busted. [/mythbusters]

A little googling would say... A footballer.

"Players can expend 1500 ... p to 5kg in weight."

"2 kilograms is the avera ... t 600 kilocalories."

If Hamilton is "average" then who out of the current drivers are "good"?

Yeah, I meant to do that.

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

double post I know....sorry


But thats a Red card son

A better video of the incident...

Apparently Pepe kicks the Getafe player twice, then showes his face to the dirt and steps on him, after that punches another player, mocks the linesman and 4th referee and has to be forcibly removed by his teammates. Nice. Afaik he got a 10 game ban.

Quote from gezmoor :

Points are all well and good, but they don't tell the whole story and if you are going to use them, then at least make it a meaningful comparison and work out the points per race entered. Then you can actually compare the drivers on a like for like basis.

Points per race is almost as useless because that depends heavily on the teams the driver has been in. For example Hamilton got a competitive car right away, where as Alonso started in Minardi.

Around here there's a saying that "luck favours the stronger"...

I actually agree. Maybe mods should nominate someone sensible (and is up to it) to make the threads and delete anyone else's "attempt". This would stop this stupid competition and discussion about who gets to make the F1 threads and stop the first post being "f1... spa... discuss...".
