Last year I found the thread in RSC that first pointed to a demo of LFS in August 2002, but I've not managed to find it since.

General consensus on this idea last time it was brought up was that it would be best to wait until LFS is in more of a complete state to avoid the possibility of a negative review by people who might not care too much about the impact they could have on the game by such a review.... Good idea, but I think more appropriate further down the line. We know it's already a great sim now, but we also know some reviewers can focus on the negative or incomplete parts of a sim.

I'm not in Alberta but I've been there if that counts :P

I'm in Maple Ridge, in Greater Vancouver.

Yeah, he's certainly inducing oversteer with some of his quick turn in moves. Balls of steel, balls of steel. And the driving skills to back up the balls....

For my road driving, I heel-and-toe when I'm driving enthusiastically, not for engine braking but because it means I'm in the right gear when I get off the brakes and get ready to accelerate out of a corner.

Heel-and-toeing (or shifting down a gear without braking, either way) will not wear out your clutch if you do it properly. If you have the revs matched correctly, you will not be slipping the clutch at all when you release it! There is no reason at all why this would wear out the clutch one bit, as you're connecting it back up when it's spinning at the correct speed. The time you can wear out the clutch more quickly is if you shift down a gear and let the clutch out without blipping the throttle, as the clutch slips until the engine revs come up to the right speed.

Great, saw this once, then it was bumped and it got me a second time, haha.

I haven't been to the cinema recently, but right now I would really like to see Stranger Than Fiction, I've seen it in previews on TV and it looks quite good.

It was alright. Not Will Ferrell at his best (like, say, Elf), but had some laughs in it. Not much of a plot (it's Will Ferrell...), would wait to see it on DVD. Will Ferrells love interest is pretty cute though.

I don't remember which particular meet this autocross layout was from, but sometime this summer (hence the name!).

You'll need to look at the replay to see how the course goes as I don't have a map for this one. Basically it crosses over in the middle, loops back around and crosses over again on the way back.

Have fun and let me know your times!

Thief!

Haha. I haven't checked the December Avatars thread yet, didn't realise I was ripping someone off Great minds think alike, eh?

So Hakkinen did 79 laps and ended up 2 seconds behind Hamilton.
