Quote from JamesF1 :Don't bet on it, the price of crude oil went up significantly about 2 days ago... just wait until those price rises hit the world market.

Well, I meant "fixed" to more expensive. You know, we are rather used to paying the most about anything, alcohol, cars etc. so it felt weird to hear someone was paying more for petrol!

Quote from mr_x :

Rip-off Britain alert!! We have easily the most expensive petrol in the world, mainly because of the stupid amount of tax we have to pay on it.

Seems to be rather correct. Your petrol is around 7.80-8.10 US$/gallon (US gallon is 3,785 liters).

Warms my heart finding a country where they pay more. But I guess that is going to get fixed soon.

Quote from The General Lee :I think he is doing it by the Gallon while you are doing it by Litres.

Well WHAT do you think I converted the gallons to????

Did some new maths, and we pay 7.40 US dollars per gallon for fuel. About 5,9 for diesel.
Of course, we should remember that the fuel in Europe should be better, but still, it's ridiculously expensive compared to what the whining Americans pay.


We should spread our democracy on some oil fields too I say.


Quote from danowat :Diesel is currently £1.03 a litre, $2.16 a litre or $9.80 a gallon, and it's rising, god knows how much it will be in 6 months time.

You must have used imperial gallon? Which is silly when you are trying to compare prices.

Quote from scoobyrbac :

Diesel
Lowest
$3.39
Highest
$3.59

If I did the math right, that would mean about 1.03 US dollars per litre, which is about 0,71€.

That would be ridiculously low over here. Enjoy your almost free gas when you can, would be about time you started to pay for it. Driving all those big fuel hungry hippos too.

By the way, have you already noticed you can now see the split times of you PB? Sorry if it's old, but I just had to get it out my chest because it's so cool! And is against the nothing in a while thingy. =P

Quote from JTbo :
I'm sure there will be more to come in future, there has been so many things that has started to go wrong here that I'm sure there is lot more of those kids left alone that will be ticking time bomb.

Yes, this is unfortunate and has more than some truth in it. I mean, many young people in this country are feeling very ill inside. You can see that just looking the suicide numbers, they are above European average with all ages over here, but I think the number of young people killing themself has gone up lately. But why? Hard to know really. Maybe the society is more competitive and people get more stressed when they are forced to grow up more and more earlier. There is a time bomb ticking away here, I hope we don't have to see more and this was it.

Makes me sad, condolences to the families, and strength for everyone involved.

Quote from daKasi :Last week I was in a Osuuspankki's presentation for students because of my financial studies and they said that you should always be aware when using OP Visa Electron on a site not Verified by Visa. So if I got it correct you should be able to use OP Visa Electron like any other Visa-card. It could be I'm still wrong, I was mostly concentrating on delicious pie we had during the presentation.

Ermh yeah. Well, as I said, they have now changed their policy and now the card works as it should.

I do not know if it works on places not verified with Visa, but it doesn't need the Verified by Visa electron tag anymore. Which is good because if you were going to buy anything outside Europe, you can as the Electron is Europe only. But no idea with Nordea.

And what kind of pie was it!?

But does Nordea allow using their Electron cards in "verified by Visa" not "verified by Visa Electron" service only? OP used to have this problem, they only allowed Visa Electron verified pages, now they have changed their policy and it's possible to use the card as normal Visa....and they changed it because Sampo was taking all their young customers who couldn't have proper Visa yet.

Quote from Dajmin :I enjoy both equally, although my Sonic the Hedgehog skin is currently sitting around 1100 layers and counting. I had started it as a competition entry but it wasn't finished in time

My favourite shots are my custom Castrol Skyline (on Maple Valley).
Front | Rear
That's one of my favourite game cars

This is my silly Subaru. Haven't done many skins, and this was the second one I guess.

Quote from tristancliffe :It's not THE LX8, but an unofficial LX8 created using a sort of LFSTweak (which won't be released). Because it's Bob's release, it's safe to assume the devs have okayed it, but it's not an official/supported car.

Have you looked Bob's profile lately?
"Biography: LFSTweak was NOTHING. Just you wait."

If you tease, you got to deliver.

And he has been teasing a lot lately.

Quote from danowat : how do you get pics from the 360 to your PC?

Sending them to http://forzamotorsport.net/ trough your Xbox.

But that service might not be available because you don't have hard disk.

Yes, it's very good for a game you play with game pad. Don't really mind about the cockpits myself because you can see how jerky the camera movement is even if you play with the bonnet cam.

Quote from xaotik :
Yeah, can be a bitch if you have to go uphill though.

Not really, you just need to keep on the limit of traction and not to spin the wheel. And if the temperature is nicely below zero, snow has quite a lot of grip. Lowering tire pressure helps too. Ice under your front wheel is what you need to worry about. Still, I love cycling trough winter.

Quote from z3r0c00l :We are getting the lx8 though...? Bob teased out some pics etc to shut up some progress requests... so we'll have our light RWD nutbar car....

Well, it was actually a XFG with LX6 body. But I hope he will release the program he made all the editing. That is, if he has made a program. You can already move around car bodies I think.

Quote :There's no reason to drive the lx4 or lx6 once we have the lx8 if there's no need for "toned down nanny cars". By logical extension, anything but the BF1 with the traction control is a nanny car too.

No, you didn't really understand what I meant with nanny cars. They are cars where computer corrects your silly human errors. BF1 with FZ5 are actually the opposite what you said, they both have TC. None of the cars in LFS has any of the driving aids modern hyper and super performance cars have, and I'm pretty sure they never will have, because in LFS, "you have to do the driving!"

Quote :But I also watch top gear. One of the most popular shows around, and they say driving one of those things is brilliant. While I know they're not the most technical minded of people, I'm inclined to listen to someone suggesting "this is great fun".

Yes, my favorite porn show too. I'm not saying the cars in real life are not fun. Trashing any car around in real life has to be the most fun. But driving aids actually serve a purpose and cheat death in real life, but as said, have no purpose in LFS.

Anyway, I'm sure there will be some sort of super car in the future. With racing version of course.

Quote from z3r0c00l :
Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT, FXX, Veyron and Reventon were what I was thinking about while writing this thread. It just seems like every other game has some sort of nut-bar engined monster with air conditioning kicking about, and these are things I would love to own in real life, so naturally I want them in lfs.

But there is no reason having some toned down nanny car because you can't get killed in LFS. Sure it would probably turn on kids on cruise servers, but why have something lardy ass, heavy, 4WD sledge when you could have much more fun, lighter, and nimbler RWD bastard!?

There is no reason to over engineer cars in LFS because you don't have to worry about safety or drive comfort. If some sort of supercar is some day made, I reckon F40 like Hyper mentioned, would be spot on. Keep it simple.

Wouldn't mind having the LX8 either.
