Cheers for the heads up, but, i wouldn't have noticed anyway if you hadn't said anything...

Very nice work Adam, that's awesome!

Quote from Xaid0n :

Well I thought their plans were to make the 10mb line the standard line, guess I was wrong... and yes VM are shit, which is why my mum is going to Sky broadband, 10mb line and tv package, £16 iirc

I'm with Sky BB myself, and tbh, i can't wait to get back onto Virgin Media. I'm sure with the Sky service being ADSL, it isn't the same for everyone, but my connection just isn't all that great. I get random downtime's, very slow speeds, and it seems to hate LFS
When i was with VM, i had zero problems, The only reason i changed is because i was struggling with cash at the time and decided to take the £5 pm option with sky to save me a bit.
So anyway, to jump to VM's defence, they are very chuffing far from shit, they are perhaps the best we have in England, the only thing that lets them down is the customer support, but again, that's very rarely needed.

EDIT: SkyHD tv however, kicks ass!

Downloaded and played through the Demo last night, it's ok i guess, but there wasn't any new wow factor for me though. It just seems like any other shooter, but with different characters and story

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

I have a bit of a correction to make: I was playing LFS and my FPS dropped again... I just discovered a book covering up the heat sink of my laptop. The book is incredibly hot and my fan is going crazy. I think that is why my laptop started to break. So, sorry laptop; it was my own stupidity, not your crappiness.

Meh, don't worry about it too much, you will be mocked accordingly next time you're on vent

Well, i got a couple of PB's during qually that i was pleased about, i was the slowest of the guys in the 55's, resulting in a 10th place start for the sprint race.

The sprint race was over for me however at T1-T2 when afaik a lot of the field had a weird lag problem. This resulted in i think a 3id car spinning and i was the unfortunate soul that t-boned him, last place for me, but then managed claw a couple of places back. Me and Dan had a coming together during the race, we found ourselfs partaking in a little automobile ballet (sorry, tandem drifting ) coming out of the final turn back onto the oval section, and we touched and spun out.

The feature race was fairly uneventful for me, i was just hotlapping for the majority of the race, but keeping a careful eye on S.Custers, who was lap by lap, eating away at the lead i had over him. In the end though i finished 7th i think, with S.Custers less than a second behind me

Looking forward to the final round

There is a "Speaker Fill" option in my sound drivers, which takes the 2 channel audio from anything and outputs it through all of the speakers. Not exactly surround, but it's better than just the 2 speakers.
So have a look at your settings, you may too have this option.

Were you guys twins, separated at birth or something?

Gratz guys

Lol, just noticed the following quote, which i posted in this thread last year on the 18th July 2008.

Quote from GFresh :

Congrats fella , didn't think i'd see you in a team again just yet though.

I still need a bit more of a break tbh, but i hope i can drop into such a quality team myself when the time comes.

Well done CR!

So, my hopes came true eh?... hmmm...

I hope i can win the National Lottery sometime this year...

Fingers crossed

I've had this problem a couple of times, don't know how to solve it but it's very irritating. Once it was like that for 3 months!

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Grats on Baby. I plan to adopt at the age of 3 or 4 because being up at 3am to a baby screaming because it's crapped its pants isn't my idea of fun!

You'll do it for love when the time comes mate

Proud Dad - Check!

Awesome, Congrats

Yep, DeKo's quote is correct.

Dunno where you heard the 72hrs thing

I suppose he has limited usage, which gets reset after tonight, so why not get it used up tonight on large things he may not usually download, then have a full allocation tomorrow...

EDIT: Dang, beaten by the Bean...

It's not above the house, but is directly above my head

Lol. I thought about getting the 360 too, but the lady of the manor ruled against...

Hmm, it doesn't seem to be being released on the good console... :hidesbehi

Provocative post meant for Danny boy :P

They should try British racing green, with the Orange Gulf stripe, would be an interesting combo...

Quote from Latanturle :

Hello

I have made a GI rev Meter according to Nick's schematic, it works fine for all cars.
I have tested it on LFS patch Z (10), no problem : 4 leds for RPM and 1 led as shift - Light.

Two pictures front side and Back side.

I use an AC/DC 12 Volts Adaptor and 510 Ohms Resistors

Loving those epic solder traces

You can buy both AFAIK...

And the old Sidewinder FF wheel is awesome

So who took my place on the number 1 spot on the podium while i was away?

Quote from speedway :

AHA!!
so now that you have a fancy new team, you think you can just stab your old team mate in the back and run off?!

Lol

I'll be back, flying the legendary GFunke colours, in round 7

Unfortunately, i won't be able to make it tomorrow night
I was looking forward to winning both races too
