Haha, what the hell is that ... thing ...

I dunno to be honest. Just found it on Flickr one day.

It's a seriously cool thing though isn't it. Like a 1930'3 biplane with the wings cut off. I'd love to have a fly...err drive in it

How about a windmill car ?

^^ Ermmm, should you really be saying stuff like that, with that Avatar

(Bollocks, that didn't quite work as well as intended....)

Yeah, Trist "The Drift" Cliffe-t.

Guess you forgot No matter..

And yes, thats the list i got from Wiki too. I'm fairly sure the guys who set the questions use Wiki for their info, so it's a fair bet that's the answer they're looking for. Lets just hope their grasp of the English language hasn't confused them, or us..

The first wave was mainly the people the beta testers invited. The second (coming within days) will be a more general list and will include people from the mailing list. The invitations come from iRacing.

Hmmm, that was posted this morning. So hopefully by this weekend us unpleasant sorts who have no friends and therefore had no invite will be finding out what all you lot have been raving about these last few weeks.

And after reading all these quasi reviews I just hope it can live up to all the hype.

Still not convinced about teh Oi-vals though, just think you guys havn't been getting enough sleep recently.

Quote from HVS5b :

Hmmmm, 1957........

Burger it, I've got an answer already..........

Errrr... you do know Burger is Austrian, right

FTR i get the same answer as "Tha Drift". Think the other guy's just trying to chuck a stinky old fish into the ring. Or he's just being a nob for the sake of it

Heads up lads, the bonus question and the bets have been posted.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

In my opinion...

Cold dark night in hell when I come back to LFS.

except for prior engagements.

Do you really mean that, or are you just being vaguely obtusely witty ?

Do you really think it's good enough to justify the (rental) pricing structure ? Or do you reckon it's just coz it's all new and shiny it may have stolen a few hearts ?

I'm genuinely interested to know if this thing has the potential to last for years to come. And it's a bit difficult to gauge when i've never played the thing, and all i'm going on is the comments in the various forums.

I guess i was hoping the majority would say "it's good, but not worth the expense" then hopefully that would lead them to change the pricing structure.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I'm actually getting slower each time I start this stupid game.

Lol, just blame it on your age, late nights and too many drugs in times past, that's my excuse anyway, and no one seems to mind. Either that or no one gives a stuff Oh, and the fact that i'm generally crap at everything i do...

Quote from ajp71 :

This thing is seriously evil, having decided I wasn't going to stay up for the midnight Solstice race I'm now considering respraying my Legends car pink and going oval racing in it

He's gone for sure....it's a sad sad day in LFS world.

To the rest of you, nothing good will come of this yunno, get out now and save yourselves while there's still time. Then please email your activation code to me.

First they steal your money, then they steal your soul Not that i care, my soul's worthless anyway. Just hearing you chaps having so much fun with this is starting to piss me off is all.

Quite frankly i'm starting to worry...

First we've got DW'yah being seduced by a load of trees. The Fins revealing they're all a bit partial to the colour pink. Tristan NOT hating it. Kev having a moment of honesty and revealing he actually sucks at all sims (except LFS). Mackie publically admitting he "likes it bumpy" . And perhaps the most distressing of all, young AJP admitting he's actually enjoying teh Oi-vals...

Sheesh guys what is this thing doing to you all Are we gonna have to put out a call for a priest and do a bit of exorcism or what ??

Jealous i can't join in, me ?, never. Just sucks knowing i ain't got no friends and therefore had no invite....

[Edit] Dustin doesn't count coz he was too weird for words to start with

Hmm, i didn't think it was such a great game tbh, but Spain did deserve to win.
But why oh why in the name of all things holy does the manager never put Fabregas in the starting lineup ? He's definitely one of your best players, and Spain always player better as a team when he's on the pitch..

Anyway, it should be a great final, and one too close to call. As Z'd said, Germany tend to raise their game against (perceived) better opponents. And Spain have probably been the best team in the tournament so far. So, i'm looking forward to it, and i for once don't really care who wins, as long as it's a good fair game i'm happy.

Quote from Hyperactive :

Hmm, there is a race in 15 minutes. If I spent an hour making long posts I'd cut down the waiting time a lot between the races

:banana::static::elefant: Yippee...

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

OK 2 things.

1) my pc, at 4/5 years old, and was mid/low at purchase is not going to cut it..getting about 12/15 fps. However during a race I had no drop and only occasional slow down.

Define your 4/5 year old pc.

I've been worried that my e6300, 2gb DDR400, 6800GS would be out of it's depth. And i'm not keen on paying 20 bucks a month for the privilege of seeing if i'm left with the choice of a pretty slideshow or graphics that resemble Test Drive 2

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

2) I'm really slow.......Nuts

You ain't seen nothing yet bud !

------

I'm still not convinced this game is for me tbh. At best i'm nothing more than a casual gamer, so leagues and ratings and stuff don't interest me in the slightest. And if someone like our Kev is way off the pace, then i doubt there's any hope for me at all. So if extra content can be partly bought with good results on track, then i'd have no other option than to pay for any extra content with real propah monies ! yeh !

I think i probably will put my name down on the list and have a go at it on the next release wave, but it's purely out of curiosity.

I do wonder how many people in this first wave will be renewing their contract after the first month though ? Do you guys reckon this thing has legs ? will it last, or by this time next year will the only available racing be on de Ovalz

Damn bloody chuffin Germans ! Grrrrr...

I'm not too bothered they won, in fact i'm quite pleased that my favourite German player scored the winning goal. But it was such a fantastic game i didn't want it to end. If there was ever a game that deserved to go to extra time it was that one. Bloody Germans spoiled my fun

What a game !

Bollocks gone again....

Is this just the Beeb or is it the world feed thats gone down ?

Slightly off topic, but talk about people having no decency http://blog.cardomain.com/blog ... hater-fodder-ev.html#more i feel slighty nauseous now..

Quote from Bean0 :

I think I've found one on eBay...

Click

You traitor ! Call yourself a Geordie ? Why arn't you preaching....The Word, get him to buy this instead

Anyhoo, I've had a good look on eBay and it's pretty thin on the ground for this sort of thing, however, i did find this

But to be serious for a moment, i found these elsewhere. The one at the bottom of the page looks like the one you're after. Not sure if they'll deliver to Argentina though ? But it would be worth sending them an email and ask if they would, although i'd expect delivery cost to be pretty high...

Congrats to Turbo Dad for getting the highest points total not just in our sub-league, but the highest out of everyone in the whole game. A whopping 717 pts

Well deserved win. Holland we're awful tbh, but that may be down to the managers tactics.

Lets give Fabio the boot and pinch Gus from the Ruskys i say !

Quote from alland44 :

We have a danish saying :

"football/soccer/fussball is 22 men chasing a ball for 90 minutes, and the Germans wins at the end"

Danes are clever people

Yes, here in the UK we have quite a few sayings regarding the Germans too. Unfortunately i'll probably be banned from the forum for life if i post any of them

God awful game for 118 minutes, but utterly fantastic thereafter, pure drama.

Well done to the Turks, you were damn damn lucky. It's the Germans next, so lets hope the luck lasts

Great game, and a close finish, but on the whole i think Germany deserved it....bastards !

Ohhh, Just got interesting...3:2
