Anyone been back in the Solstice since the update? It seems to be running about 2-3 seconds quicker than previously.

Maybe it can compete with the Mazda's in the shorter tracks.

Had a race last night in the Mx5....

....so much fun it should be illegal. Close racing, different strengths and weakness to the 2 cars makes it interesting.

Quote from DaveWS :

Well it's pretty much as awesome as I was hoping. Driving it around Silverstone gives a weird sense of deja vu, after watching so much onboard F1 footage over the years.

It's fairly easy to drive under the limit, but once you start to push things it really gets interesting. Needs very good throttle control at low speed which is great, and there's so many setup options which might cause my brain to explode. My only gripe is that the tyres feel very under damped, which leads to a bit of a "pogo" effect after some bumps / curbs, but hopefully we can tune that out with the setup options. Best sim experience yet though easily.

Ok, this has more or less meant I will now decide to forget about going out for a weekend, and instead buy the F1 car and a couple of tracks and have some fun this weekend. Bye bye social life.

Quote from Joris :

Has anyone tried to crash the cup MX5? I seem to be unable to cause any visible damage.

Not that this is my usual goal

Hang on, I'm downloading now....give a few moments and I'm sure I'll get something.


BTW - I'm hoping that the 2 Mazda's and the Solstice are close to each other. Would fancy getting a LFS meet with those 3 sometime soon

Quote from speed1230 :

Have you read the film title and the circled writing carefully?

Still not seeing it.

The spelling is correct, 'Fantastic Mr Fox' is a book written by Roald Dahl just like 'Charlie and The Chocolate Factory' is, and apart from the 'coming soon' bit (schoolboy laughs :really there is absolutely nothing remotely funny that I can see.

Maybe I'm not just on my funny mind-wave form just now.

Love :lovies3d:

Overrated and leads to issues latter on, always seems faulty.


Personally,I would be happy with a box set of The Wire, failling that 3 points for County every Sat......

Ah-Aarrrr me mateys, not even Jack Sparrow can spray the brew better than I....now walk thy plank Lugi. The Captins log is still floating.

They had a great chance for a prank here....


...everyone above should have put on Planet of The Ape suits for when the first miner came up.

Quote from DevilDare :

Lithuania gave Spain a run for their money as well. Certainly wasnt a walk over... Considering Lithuania are only just getting into Football.

3-1 wasn't it, with Spain taking the lead first of all and then regaining the advantage 2 minutes after it going 1-1.

I'm not saying that Spain didn't have it tough that night, but Scotland did run them closer than Lithuania did and I think Spain should easily get full points from the Czech games.

See, last nights performance makes Friday nights performance even worse.

Did not see the whole game (I decided to punish myself by going to Footy training for the first time in 5+ years) but came back just after we scored our first. This time we had the right tactics playing a 4-5-1 and getting support up front. We could have got a draw but credit to Spain, they moved up a gear to get the winner.

I doubt that Spain will have a tougher game in the qualifiers than last nights game.

@DeadWolfBones - Loving the photo's bud, the DoF you get is superb.

Czech 1 - 0 Scotland (aka Football 1 - 0 Anti-football)

Thats it. International football is now dead to me. Don't get me wrong, I love my country and want them to do well all the time, but I can no longer follow this team anymore.

It's not like I'm a glory hunter chasing the teams who win, I've always backed the crap teams. From Newcastle United throwing the premiership away in the 1995/1996 season to the relegation season off 2008. I've followed County across the country travelling on average a 8 hour round trip to watch them play in freezing conditions and losing..I was there when Gretna won the league at the same time we got relegated to the 2nd division and stayed to applaud Gretna getting the trophey, and I was there the next season, pre-season and all. One thing that is constant is that I follow teams who play football.

But I can not, and will not watch a team who start a game without a sodding striker. I know Scotland aint got players who can set the world on fire...heck we strugle to do the simple stuff, but I still expect us to attempt something other than sitting deep and punting the ball to no-one up front. Spain on Tuesday and can only expect a 6-4-0 formation with 2 players on the post all the time.

Quote from zeugnimod :

Seriously?

That's innovative.

Only in the wrong direction.

I shit you not.

It's brutal and horrible viewing....

BUMP

Scotland start with a 4-6-0 formation tonight versus the Czechs. Anti football at the best/worst.


Disgusting.

Quote from adamlfs :

Yeah I know Lotus isn't the best for straight line speed, but getting random punctures when you can't see whats causing them is annoying. Plus the AI don't seem to have them.

How about puncture on the first corner of Monaco...would not have believed it was possible if I didn't witness it myself when the little bro was have a go.

Think i'll watch this one latter on this month

Jackboots On Whitehall (Think a British version of Team America set in the 1940's)

Been mainly listening too this..



Some crackers on there....another cracker from the Welsh Wizzards.

Not all movies should be about fast cars, big bangs and an actress who was willing to suck on the producers lollipop to get the part. I personally can't wait to see this film, considering the writer I'm expecting some great dialogue and if the West Wing was anything to go by then I'm not going to be disappointed.



And so what if the plot is about a guy who invented a social networking site....I have sat through and seen much more flimsy plots than that....most of them coming from a Michael Bay flick.

Last weekends football action, finally got to see the local footy team win a game...about time too
