I would say that you need more then 40 hp to complete such a trick. It's true that you may get your wheels to slip with 40 hp but this is also a matter of traction. I mean the faster the wheels spin the lesser the traction is so at 40 hp your wheels will spin but you might still have enough traction to propel your car forward enough to hit someones rear bumper .
So I would suggest you try this in an empty area before showing off in front of your mates.

But check that you have enough power to do it and/or that you don't have traction control because you might smell the clutch burning

Mate, that car is not ugly, it's chav-tacular and that's like a whole 'nother level! I'm super serial!

It was SWEET! It has that nice, epic feeling about it, the timing was great and I loved the camera angles, all I can say is good job!

Here's some things I noticed:

-Your choice of music was bad.
-You edited only the beginning of the video
-You used uninspired and unrealistic camera positions.
-The movie was too long

If it was only to show your driving abilities :

-The car used was too slow and too easy to handle: I suggest one of the LXs if you want to showcase raw talent
-You should use a smaller autocross track instead of your long layout that is pretty similar to the ones you find on cruise servers.


Keep practicing and you will only get better! (Referring to your driving and movie making)

Quote from asbjoern :

first time i agree with Bambo...

Well that means that I'm on the right path or that you are loosing it

Anyway it was a nice idea for a first video, keep practicing and you will only get better with time.

Now why did you have to scare him? I didn't even got a chance to see it!

Thread Starter: The fact that you removed the video tells a lot. I mean if you didn't even had the courage to accept some bad criticism then how do you expect to get to the point of making epic videos?

Just the ordinary stuff like discussing the theory of relativity with a Man Bear Pig, I'm super sereal.

Well it keeps me motivated to not smoke or drink alcohol because I think that will help me to live longer. If you are referring to the fact of how is it helping me to live life to the maximum, well I guess it doesn't but it makes me feel more at peace with myself it that counts.

I can't fully agree with you Gunn on that, I think goals in life keepd you motivated. For an example one of my goals is to live 140 years! I know that's impossible but their is nothing stopping me from trying. Why would I set myself such a goal? Well I don't drink alcohol,I don't smoke, I work out daily....... for Pete's sake I don't even consume Coca-cola, Pepsi or any beverage like that nor am I planning to start doing those things. So, as stupid as that goal may seem to you, I for one think that it makes me live a better life.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

No, everywhere. What is the point or purpose of life? Give me that info and I'll eat my hat.

Well as emo as this may sound, their is no logical explication to your question. Religiously speaking, God doesn't have a good reason why he made us and scientifically speaking, we are just one big and lucky mistake.
To be honest wheel4hummer, I once was like you, thinking that life has no purpose. What I did about it? Nothing....I just accepted the fact and moved on. I basically ignored it and set some goals in my life which I would like to accomplish thus giving my short existence some kind of a purpose.
Life is a long road! Sometimes we forget our goal and neither can we see it to make us remember it but we just keep on moving until we reach it.....or die trying.
That's the beauty of life! No one actually has a purpose but we do it just for the fun of it!

Don't worry about the things to come as that is as helpful as solving a mathematical problem by chewing bubblegum. Remember! Where there's a will, there's a way so if you try hard maybe you can change!

I presume you need a small program called LFS Player Hacker.

Well that means that you will have to wait a few more hours until you get home to try it or you can check Youtube to find some videos about it.

I know that game, I used to play it but I got bored. If you want a cross between that and LFS then I suggest you try Nitto 1320 Legends(http://www.nittolegends.com/download_sites.aspx).

The LFS part being only that you can play it online against others

So I guess their are no things to visit in Geneva. I think I will have a go at finding the real Gordon Freeman. I must say that they have very strict rules such as:

-You must stop your engine at a red light

and

-You can't was your car in the weekends


By the way: what can I do in Milano then?

Well as the tittle says, I will be visiting Geneva in a week or two because I want to continue my studies at one of their high schools. I'm here because I would like to kindly ask you guys what I can visit in Geneva and if their are any LFSers there? And if you are not to bothered then can you also tell me what I can do in Milano? Because that's the route I will be taking. So could you please help me?

PS: Some of you will find this as a good opportunity to punch the guy with the worst threads on the LFS forum

I just simply knew he was going to fail since I heard the diesel engine. This shows that you shouldn't show off if :

a) You have no experience in motors sport

b) You are doing it in a public area full of dangerous things

c) Inadequate equipment

Well I advanced three positions in the last race (54th now) and from what I can see, I will probably advance another 4 positions in the next race.

Well I can do the live commentary if you want to.

PS: I also know a guy that can do a great commentary with/instead of me.

There's no problem in that Fischfix. We are still looking forward to help you take LFSCAR for another season.
If you are too busy to make this happen then feel free to let us do all the work. We are not looking to change the name and claim it as our own, we just want to host it, you will remain the founder of it but if you can participate then it's even better.
I sent you further information in a PM.

We here at Storm Cup decided that we should bring back LFSCAR because it was a great league that everyone enjoyed due to the intense and close racing. I mean you almost never knew who would win a round because of the frenetic passes.

Well we miss those moments and since LFSCAR's main thread hasn't been active for quite some time now, we decided that we should offer our support to it because we really want it to continue and I , for one, am pretty sure that some of you share the same feelings as I do.

I sent Fischfix a pm a few weeks back but he never answered. From what I have seen on his profile he hasn't been very active lately. To be more precise the last date he visited the forum was on the 1st of October so I guess he didn't even read it.

Well if he's too busy then I really hope that he would allow us to run LFSCAR but for that we need to see how many of you are interested to see this league back.

So who wants LFSCAR back for the sake of having some good ol' oval fun?


PS: If their is anything you would like to know then please feel free to ask!

No, but from what I know you can get into those kind of chases at the cruise servers.

Ok, here's the mother of them all:

-A chicken once lived two years without it's head. It would have lived even more if the owners didn't forgot something one night.

-He's name was Mike
