Quote from Dalek0220 :

Also, your mums a big fat dickhead

Wow. Do you usually type before you think?

Here is a way to justify it:

$48 USD for the game.
$94 USD for the Logitech FFB wheel

equals $142 total.

divided by the miles I have , which is 19,449.

equals $.007 cents per mile.

That is a pretty good bargain! Initially it can be expensive, but with all the support and the massive online experience, it pays for itself in a few months.

There has been a call among liberals in America that we need to focus our military resources away from the Middle East and into Africa; for example, the situation in Darfur and the Sudan.

Now keep in mind that our current president does alot of compromises with the democrats, and he not a true conservative, but a RINO (republican in name only). If anything, he is a centrist president, like what we here have had for many years. Oh, the politicians make it look like they are strongly liberal or conservative when campaigning....

I myself also dislike our 2 party system, being that I am neither liberal of conservative, but a libertarian.

And I would like to see someday, America run on more than 2 dominant parties. I like how Germany is set up, even though some of the political parties are just plain silly, it encourages debate and fairness of laws.

So we are now focusing our military in Africa, and the rest of the world gets bent out of shape for. Let me repeat again, the American LIBERALS want our military might focused in Africa. In my opinion, I see no need to be there yet, we need to first babysit the Middle East, make sure the floor is swept, chase out the rats and cockroaches, and then let them squabble with each other again, like they have for the past 5,000 years.

So why is Africa screwed up? Well, nationalism for one. Like the Middle East, there is hatred among countrys that have existed for a millenia. Then in the 1960's, silly socialist governments with equally silly, unrealistic ideas started popping up, drawing borders to force nomads to stay put. Instead of tribal warfare, whole countries gather up the warriors and face off with each other. Does that make the Africans uncivilized? Hardly. But like the Middle East, ignorance and hatred is easily passed on from one generation to another.

So, anyone who is from the UK, Germany France or the Netherlands can zip it, we are about to clean up a mess you all started!

I have you down.

Kevin - Thank you VERY much for the offer. In a sense, you have been my unofficial right hand man for the past few months, and my gratitude is unflinching and sadly at times, not voiced but never the less appreciated. But I will have to graciously pass on your generous offer.

I thank you. And I am making a mental note not post after drinking very strong wine, as the above paragraph is a bit flowery. Ah well.

Cawwa, if XFR would like to be and continue being the sanctioning body of The Live For Speed LeMans league, I will contact Victor and make the necessary arrangements. I have watched XFR race in the league and I am impressed with your team and its values.

Let me know!

Quote from [RCG]Boosted :

ok, how serious is that post?

Very serious! I really like quirky cars, hence the reason I own a 2007 WRX.

Quote from (SaM) :

In German and Dutch the plate says Haha, UF1!

That is some ugly Daihatsu.

Dai-haCHU!

Gesundheit.

Oh, come ON! Copens are awesome! Im straight as an arrow and would love to own one.

Quote from Hankstar :

It's as laughable as Hitler's "international Zionist conspiracy".

See post #53.

I am unable to continue to host this league. I have thought about this for some time, and I came to the conclusion that as of right now, I am unable to fund this series anymore, and the will to carry it through the months has left me.

I am sorry for the ones who devoutly participated for the past few months...and now this.

So, if anyone would like to take over this league, go for it. Or if not, I will have this section moved to inactive.

Thank you tremendously to everyone who participated; we took the spirit of LeMans to Live For Speed and proved it could work. I hope that in the short time it existed, it may have spawned ideas for the future of Live For Speed, and specifically, league racing.

There is no bitterness or hostility on my part, quite frankly, I simply lost the will to manage and fund.

Thank you for reading!

-Jay.

Wow. I post one conflicting idea, and it was as if I threw a rock at a hornets nest.

So much for trying to play devils advocate. I guess you either agree with the majority or be humiliated.

Ftw.

Channelling the spirit of AtomAnt?

Quote from mikey_G :

Right now Iran is seen as the number 1 islamic country throughout the islamic world, and they're loving it. Even the more moderate arab states want a piece of that, and are starting to act more hostile to america and israel.

I disagree, because Iran is a Persian country, not Arab, and secondly, are Shiite based Government, not Sunni. Correct me if I am wrong, but Arabs tend to look to Iranians with a bit distaste, and the Sunni governments like Saudi Arabia, are probably wishing for Iran to just be quiet...

Want to know how to bring Iran to its knees? Simple! Cut off their gasoline supply. The majority of the Iranian economy is petroleum based, alot of exporting of crude oil but a massive amount importation of gasoline because Iran has a total of one gasoline refinery.

THere will be another "revolution" in Iran, I am sure of it...but it wont be for Islamic ideals. No, it will probably mirror what happened in 1990 to Russia. Just because you see the Iranian president spout off rather idiotic statements, does not mean the majority agrees; remember, all forms of communication to the outside world is controlled and filtered, Much like the American media, which is so biased to the Democratic National Party and has a liberal agenda. I do hope my international LFS friends are aware of that.

Quote from dizzlez :

Hi the Patch is great but there is one thing i noticed when playing online when driving and in ym rear view mirir a car quite far back well not far viewable to see there driver, the cars bumper comes all solid with no gaps and so the whole body of the car becomes like an oval, is it just me?

I will try get a pic so you understand what i mean

Sometimes only the headlights disappear, other time the cars behind you look like a shoe, if they have no skin.

Well, I can tell you its from 1947-1949, and is a GM product. If anything, it is before 1952.

I think I have found a problem. I was on Fern Bay Gold in a UF1, race started, everything is fine, then I got the "Warning traffic approching" graphic...yet I was not a lap behind, and no one within 10 seconds was behind me. It lasted for about one lap, then left. During that time, I never crashed, spun or left the track; just a normal lap.

Quote from TiJay :

- Anything else I need to understand to watch NASCAR

Understand that before Fox bought the Speed channel, it was much like Motors TV. Now it is mainly NASCAR and stupid automotive reality shows. That really burns me, as I used to be able to watch worldwide auto racing, like BTCC, WTCC, WRC and V8 Supercars.

Understand that because the SCCA were full of rich, tight assed elitists in the 1950's, road racing is virtually non existent now, whereas NASCAR actually paid the drivers to race, like in Europe. Horror of horrors!

Understand that for most part, NASCAR does not have the...elan of other racing genres. I will let you make your own conclusion on that statement. Though it appeals now to a broader audience of various social and fiscal backgrounds, rather than Southern rednecks like it used to.

Understand that you must drink Miller Lite or Bud Lite. Lots of it. Throw out your Boddingtons, Harp and Newcastle. The upside of drinking all that pisswater beer is that next day you will have some truly magnificent farts.

Maybe the lawn just needs to mowed? Looks the Fern Bay maintainance crew are slacking off again...


I know, I contributed nothing.

On one hand, I can see that a purchase of Live For Speed is pretty harmless; it is a challenging game that is non violent and appropriate for all ages, it could possibly, in theroy make someone a better driver, and the people you find online in the non demo verison are for the most part mature, helpful and friendly. Oh, and it keeps you off the streets so you dont turn into some chav driving a silly pimped out Nova. Or spray painting rude gestures on brick walls. Or both!

...On the other hand though, you are 14, menaing that what mum says is law of the house. And I am sure she looking out for your best interests, because she is thinking of your future and the way you manage money.

Have her read this post, see what she thinks!

Why cant some just let this man and his legacy fade away...why dwell on the unchangeable?

Quote from glyphon :

yup. same grade of fuel. different rating number. its not like they are running racing gas over there

Well, that is just silly. I would have thought that the octane rating would be standardized across the world.

Of course, if I were to visit to Europe, I could fool my friends back here in telling them that I was running some crap car like a Vectra with super high test 98 octane! "Dem europeeeans have some mighty strong fuel, ya hey!"

I have always like Kumho's. Alot of performance for not much money.

Must be nice to have such high octane gas in the UK. I have use 93 octane, and the highest I have seen is 94 octane at Road Rangers and Sunoco's.

Love to see what 104 octane would do for my WRX.

Quote from CSU1 :

Dont expect your community to grow at all so! If you dealt with me like that being all unquestionable and all I WOULD just sod off, and wouldnt look back either, as I'd imagine countless have already done.

Oh, the problem makers are .0001% of the total board population.

Like you!

...just taking the piss out...
