Is it a Triumph?

Quote from Martin.S :

Not really a test model, actually about 40000 examples were produced + about 8000 of the ES ("estate") version. At least according to Volvo themselves...
(BTW, My father is kind of an Volvo expert, and I have been to many Volvo meetings the past 17 years...)

But what is this (see attached)? Cars in background are Austin Healey 3000 and Lotus Elite, but I don't think that will help you much!

That was an easy one, its nearly the same model that I'm driving this year sometime (http://www.ginettacars.com/GT4.htm)

Erik's one looks like a Ford Anglia but I'm not sure

I give up. My router seems to be blocking more than 11 packets getting through in less than a second. The test is called off

Its all up and working now.

It seems the server isnt letting me in. I'll wait a few minutes then try again. The test will still go on tonight, it's just the app isnt running atm.

Anyone reading this is invited to come test an insim application being developed by me. It will be similar to both the STCC's license system and the CLC's Caribbean Cruise system of money and buying cars.

Taken from my feature list:

Please join [url="lfs://%7CIES+Racing%7C0%7CS2%7C/"]IES Racing[/url] to try it out. I am running the application now and it will be up until about 20:00 UTC

EDIT: The server is running all the cars at Aston Club. The combo will be changed, probably at about 19:00 UTC

I'm having a problem with the server, I'm talking to someone from support at the moment. It shouldn't interfere with the events.

Alright, new day, new thing.

A Big Mac from McDonalds. Here it's (IIRC) 4.90€

Quote from DrDNA :

CC can be a lot of fun, but being disconnected and losing your car is tremendously disappointing. The scenario I've run into each time so far is I'll save enough for an XRG, get to drive it for around for a few laps and then I'll be disconnected. Upon rejoining and having to buy a new UF1, I now have LESS money than when I first started and have to drive many more laps to even be able to afford the next best cars. Is it simply impossible to differentiate between random disconnects and choosing to leave the server when not in the pits? I don't have any disconnect issues with other servers, so I don't imagine my connection can be blamed .

Unfortunately it is impossible to detect a differentiate between the two with Insim. My only suggestion is to use the new server - Caribbean Cruise TEST. It's hosted with 500servers.com and its got a much better connection

The server is now running BF1@KY Oval with 35 laps.

Cars
The Italian Job (both of them)
Talladega Knights

I might be able to make it. It's going to be hosted on [url=lfs://|^4IES+^7Racing+^02|0|S2|/]IES Racing 2[/url]. I will setup the server to the first config soon.

I can lend a 23-slot server, PM me if you want it.

I have a Sony Ericsson v600i, it was pretty cheap and did what I wanted. Now I want the SE w810i.

Quote from Gentlefoot :

Why would they bump start Karts with centrifugal clutches though? Maybe it was some kinda special day or something but he was there and that is what he said.

Sure, maybe they were 100cc and not 200cc.

Ah, sorry, I think I misunderstood, I thought you meant that when you released the brakes the engine started up again because you were still moving.

Quote from Gentlefoot :

[...]
He also was sure that they were clutchless because he mentioned locking the back wheels braking which then caused the engine to stall. Obviously this would not happen with a centrifugal clutch. You could then release the brakes and bump start it, also difficult with a centrifugal clutch.
[...]

This can happen with centrifugal clutches if they springs are too soft. Also when you do this in a clutched 2-stroke kart it can sound like the engine stops since you've just had it blaring away at 12k+ RPM and it suddenly drops to around 2k with hardly any load.

He might be thinking about Club100 as Will said, that would explain what he's said.

EDIT: @Becky - then you get to the braking, then the corner. In the classes with grippy tyres thats pretty surprising when you first go out too. After a while you get used to it. Funny thing is my parents never get used to me karting, they still worry like hell (especially my Mum)

Quote from Jakg :

i didn't see him (thank god!)

I've got pretty scared by the environment tho, when the kart in front goes through a puddle you get a 5 ft vertical wall of water you CANNOT see through, and i hope that stuff like that (and dirt on your windscreen after a "shortcut") goes in LFS in S3

Try that at 60mph, then its scary

Yeah, it would be good to have that in S3 but think of the FPS hit you'd get

Quote from Gentlefoot :

Got the lowdown about Butmore Park (near Chatham Kent) from my next door neighbour who is a jap crap freak. He says the Karts at Butmore do 80mph and are 200cc, no clucthes. They will spin with power oversteer if you don't respect the throttle. Now that's my kind of Karting

Anyone brave enough?

Anyway - whatever is decided count me and at least one or two other mates in.

I doubt it. Maybe in the wet with slicks you'll get power oversteer. The karts are 200cc four-stroke AFAIK and they'll do nowhere near 80mph. They also have clutches.

Quote from Jakg :

i spun in the wet (tried to overtake, went off the dry bit and locked up) and was on the grass going backwards into a wall - suddenly the LFS'er inside took over and i jammed the throttle (rather than sitting there like a stuffed lemon!), the marshall was ready to give me a push back on the track, but my wheels started spinning, and i coated him in mud

I bet you avoided him after the race

You will be slowest Niko, don't kid yourself

Who said tyres can't come off the rim in LFS?

Quote from Davo :

OMG how could I forget bender hehe

My new one is Kim Possible, the sexiest cartoon spy. It's been censored.

You do realise its a cartoon and shes meant to be in high school (no older than 16)?

The nearest good outdoor track to me is 20 miles and they have crappy karts. I guess the one nearest to me with good kart is PFI in Lincolnshire. Its still a long way though

There's a few good indoor ones near me - one in Leeds, one in Bradford (I think, not sure if its still there) and one about 2 miles from my house. There's also a Daytona-owned place in Manchester that I've never been to.

In my area you get quite a few indoor placs but hardly any outdoor places, even ones which are only there for MSA races (there's one about 30ish miles away from me, the rest are 60+)

I don't think its that he doesn't want doors, he just doesn't want plastic doors. My guess is that he wants an all-metal case.

Hehe, Tristian. Senna's real name is Will

I would go but its all the way down south

Did you just insult yourself?

Anyway, welcome to the forum. There are plenty of Americans here, just look for the American flag by their name
