X-Roads aka crossroads.
It's fantastic with a tail-happy car like the LX4. Can result in close races and a lot of fun.
This is my personal favorite because I still keep on racing in there once in a while.

Hey, I saw the title and I expected to see a lolcat in here.
Where's my lolcat, damn it?

Oh sorry, there was more text in the original post?
Indeed, this is true for at least Intel graphics and MGA graphics.
Dunno about ATI.
Isn't that what they tried to do around late 90's by themselves? But it didn't come off well: the design process kept getting stuck, and they claimed they wouldn't be able to pull through with the competition (lotus elise). So they stick to the original super-seven body.
There is a BBC documentary about it, which had the whole inside story about that. I can't remember what it was called, but I remember it was narrated by John Peel.

That would be a good stunt for Top Gear to perform.
I'm sure Richard Hammond will volunteer to do it; he has driven an F1 car before (at least, for low values of "driven"), and he has had a major crash already.

Around 1995, I enjoyed very much "A-Train" on the Amiga. It was something along the lines of Simcity, with a focus on train stuff. It had me addicted for quite some time.
Do any of the aforementioned train thingies seem close to it?
Yes, I admit it. I'd like a Sim City with trains game nowadays. Just before my 30th birthday.

Among others, I have/use pidgin, emesene, Skype, gizmo, AOL IM, ICQ, six Jabber/XMPP accounts including Google Talk and meebo, MSN, ICQ, Yahoo! IM, IRC, Bonjour for LAN purposes, SIP with four different SIP servers for calling to landlines etc, Skype on Mobile, Skype on Nokia N800, SMS (two mobiles here), LFS for chatting in LFS servers, and last but not least, Nokia's oscomm for maemo that supports many IM protocols.
There. I made a pointless contribution too, for once.

Damn, you north europeans have very high insurance rates.
Here (Greece) I currently pay:
- Around 250 euros every 6 months => 500 euros / year for car insurance (a humble Ford Focus I 1.4 / 2000).
- 180 per year for (small) motorbike insurance, and that even includes road assistance for mechanical failures.

9. Unless the person is not racing, do not not avoid asking him for the set.
That's pretty innacurate.
Xbox can indeed use a component cable setup and upscale to 720p or 1080i, when in NTSC mode. BUT, its CPU is pretty low and in fact it cannot even cope with 720p content. 1080p is, of course, out of the question.
Some crazy people, I've read, have modified the xbox's cpu so that it can do HighDef.
Don't get me wrong, Xbox is an excellent media centre. Just not for HighDef.
Interesting... I was only aware of another one called Bus Driver, which is .... not bad!!! It was also featured on an "autosimsport" issue.
Personal Favorites:
- Fat Butt and Pancake Head", the one with Jennifer Lopez. Just hilarious. Dance to this song!
- 501 - "Scott Tenorman Must Die". Classic. Radiohead guest appearance.
- 711 - "Casa Bonita". Classic Cartman.
- 908 - Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow. Global warming fun :P
That said, I feel that since season 9 SP has been going a bit downhill. Not too much, but still...

Hmm.
The LFS licensed system, luckily, has one account for me, for all sites (lfswiki, lfsworld, lfsforum).
In CTRA, however, I have a different password.
In [noobs] forum, I'm avel, not avellis, and I have a different password there, and have entered my profile thingies that I want to share, again.
Then, when I went to the sccc and dark side racing forums to spam them, again, I registered with some other password, got another confirmation email, and didn't even bother to fill in any stuff about me.
If I want to make a website to provide a service to licensed lfs users, I can't, unless I hook it up in a way with an insim app inside LFS which can vouch that the user is authenticated. Much like CTRA does now.
If I want to share some stuff from my lfsworld data, it's either to everyone or to noone. I don't have the choice to say "provide this data to that site".
Are these big problems? Perhaps not. Perhaps, all data in lfsworld, the data already in there and the data that might be in there in the future, is really meant to be showed to anybody, at any time.
Are there security issues that someone needs to think about? Definitely yes, but IMHO they are not show-stoppers. Some of the aforementioned comments are valid, and security needs to be central to the implementation of this. With some design and within the boundaries of a "federation", (LFS official + Team Sites + Application Sites + Blogs + Sites with Stats), I believe that some possibilities open for new stuff to be thought of and get built by the community.
Dajmin - people are supposed to have multiple "identities". The LFS identity, most probably, wouldn't [allowed to] be used by irrelevant sites. Of course, within the "federation", yes, it would act much like a single-sign-on system.
Again, I empasize on the fact that I personally haven't thought this through. But I stand by my opinion that this is a good idea.
LFS as an OpenID provider, for third-party web sites
For those unfamiliar with OpenID, first take a quick glance at this:
http://openid.net/
It just occured to me that LFS could host an OpenID service and be an Identity Provider. Then, third party web sites can act as OpenID consumers and provide certain features to licensed LFS racers.
The goal is for these third party web sites to authenticate LFS users, in a secure way and without users exposing LFS passwords to anyone but LFS itself.
Example scenario: CTRA has its own password database, for its website features, but underneath it just uses LFS accounts. Instead, it could use OpenID to authenticate users to its website.
Example scenario #2: A team's forum can use OpenID login and allow LFS racers to post there under their LFS usernames, instead of each racer going through the trouble of registering an account from scratch.
I just came up with this and I admit I haven't thought it through, but it seems like an interesting idea.

+1. They would be totally, utterly, completely useless in it. Thus, hilarious.
Just remember how they ruined that radio show they "hijacked".
Oh, that's what the guys meant, when they said that even though you are not in our team, you are a [noob] at heart. :lovies3d:
