Anything under 20fps is not playable IMO. At 35+ is fine. Around 55-60 is the sweet mark. Of course anything over that doesn't really make any difference.

Oh also the amount of epenis in this thread is hilarious. Even that cute asian chick above is thinking "oh yes"

You play with the poo sticks. But then you stopped when you thought they were crop dusting chemicals in your water supply.

Well the original news story which was in my local paper said up north. Either way they were foreigners :O

Quote from Greboth :
Back to the original story though, without knowing why the driver tried to drive though it is hard to say for definate whether it was idiotic or not. Maybe they knew the road and have been through it a million times before without incident and thought it would be ok this time too even with the water deeper than normal. While even that would have an element of stupidity it would be less in my mind than if they, for example, just blindly followed the sat nav.

There were from like Blackburn or Middlesborough or something, the area in question is 15 miles West of Reading so a good old distance. The newspaper stated they weren't locals.. That's why I presume sat-nav

But even without a sat-nav I still think it's pretty silly. Then again I am intollerant of idiots. Which is hypocritical when I make some pretty obvious cock-ups. But never such as driving into a lake.

Quote from Psysim :Oh my god, a demo user posted something on the forums, first lets pick every inch of it to bits, then lets be real prick and get the flame throwers out....

really, if it does not intrest you, why all the negativity? If its not your cup of tea, dont be a tosser about it, move on to the next thread.

Many months late but I agree.
Unfortunately this is typical of the LFS userbase.
Yet I get banned for a funny picture. This sort of behaviour is gotten away with.
True story.

Well cancel it before it's too late and buy a German vehicle. Not built by people with Moustaches.

Of course nathan I set trends baby.

They used to be like £17.50, even when Ebay had them for £40. People assuming Ebay would be cheaper. Shame. I paid £11 for mine, from some Black kid in London. A good fellow to be honest. He too had moved from a class vehicle (Mk5) to a ricer-rep (Civic). :sadbanana.
But my gain.

now my buddy works in Seat main dealer - Even he has to pay £40 for trade price.
I was thinking of ditching mine because too many ricers have them. No class. I may sand it down, and paint it blue to match the wheel nut covers and other parts. Photoshop.

Quote from Crashgate3 :It's a bit like claiming you're preventing people coming over the Mexican border by randomly strip-searching people in New York 'to check they're not Mexican'.

Well those Mexicans can get everywhere.
Like British Underground Stations.
In America they shoot Mexicans.
In Britain they just shoot innocent people.

Quote from Jakg :Quick example of a UK (flooded) ford...



Would you attempt to drive through that?

I'll try to get the "normal" picture in a sec...

That's the thing. Personally I have no time for people who come up with excuses. In Bournemouth last year, the floods you may recall.
Well I was there. For the airshow that got cancelled, I think the Red Arrow's pilot died as well. But hey, probably wasn't from driving into a puddle. That was an unfortunate death of a skilled pilot, didn't deserve it.
Where as the old people died because they weren't skilled pilots, they didn't deserve it but the drive was an idiot and I think denying that would be silly.

Anyway I got caught in the thick of the floods in Bournemouth. I managed to drive through, by being careful. Cars got stuck because they drove straight through the middle. But I was slower, gauging it on other cars, I drove 2 wheels on the path, maximising air. No problems. Was a good laugh.

Still nice countryside in your neck of the woods. I may need to drive there on a summers day.

That isn't what I said now, was it?
I dislike being British. Naturally a bunch of ponces.

Quote from englishlord :Yeah, why let someone back who is just going to come straight back in and start behaving in exactly the same manner that got them banned.

If the behavior they got banned for was deserving of a ban then I would agree with you.

SamH. Tor me old chestnut.
Moderating is done on a "how much the mod likes you" level rather than what you actually said. I got a 6 month ban for baiting some guy who sent me spam emails.
Yet my homie doing the same got an infraction for 2 points.

Talk about injustice. *stands proud*.

haha theirishnoob

The type of car was a Toyota Yaris!

Here's the ford in question.



A day later after it had not rained for about 24 hrs and it was sunny, the height markers were about 4.2ft so it's believed at the time of the incident the water was 5ft deep.
It's a shame the person died and no-one deserved to, but ultimately whoever was driving was an idiot and caused the guys death.

Quote from Becky Rose :Am I to understand that for some reason or other you were banned with a period of penance for you to reflect on your ban and now that penance is over but after which you have not accepted or learned from your judicial punishment and therefor still believe you have been right all along to have done whatever it is that you did which, if my estimation is correct, was mostly likely an act of terrorist extremism such as posting on an internet forum in a manner that disagreed with another, most probably involving sarcasm and a badly photoshopping meme photograph ?

Fair play.

Yes exactly. Glad to see you're still around.

Old couple + water = death

Just wondering what folk think of this.

Old couple and their dog from up norfff come to the town I live in.
There's a ford (basically a large body of water, let's call it a lake to simplify) which isn't really crossable even in the peak of summer. We have had almost constant and heavy rain for nearly 3 weeks now. It's not hidden, it's at the bottom of a hill and you can see the Ford from the main road easily. There are big warning signs saying about a deep body of water, hazard warning posts in the body of water itself and also height markers which were showing around 5ft at the time.

(Presumably their sat-nav? Doesn't say in the news report) guides them down the road towards the lake and tells them to "continue straight".

Old couple enter and their car is washed away. One drowns (and the dog too) and the other survives.

Not sure who was driving but one of them was, the male died from drowing and the lady was taken to hospital and will live

Are these people just victims of a flood or were they colossal idiots? Because I went with the idiot vote and that was seemingly shunned for being cruel.
I don't care what other people think of my opinion, but I was interested in what people's views on here would be about the issue in general.
Please vote, you will save a kitten.
