Quote from webdigga :

You sure you're poor? It is annoying listening to people bragging about how much money they have got but it's also annoying listening to people go on about how poor they are.

You have a computer right? an internet connection? a food supply that provides you with the energy to keep posting on this forum at the rate that you do?
Just because you don't have enough money to buy all the things you want does not make you poor.

I'm sure there are plenty of other people financially worse off

Being rich or poor is a relative term and only opinion. To turn around what you said I'm sure there are plenty of people financially better off. It just depends where you look. Neither you or S14 is wrong.

Just found out I can't make this date

I've messaged JO53PHS to remove me from the list

Team Name: Janner Racing
LFS Username[s]: menantoll

I'll be happy to share a spot with another driver when if fills up.

Edit: Just found out I can't make that date.

Yes you get knocked about a bit, sometimes off, but I just take that as a challenge to get back up to a similar position before the end of the race.

Maybe once or twice, yes, but in 5 consecutive races? You can't tell me that that's fun.

No I'd say that's unlucky. I don't think I've ever had that much bad luck at the back. Maybe it's you

Hi Jatko
I was on the NDR server tonight and yes it was pretty crazy - at least at the back, where I usually am.

The following is for everyone that complains about "noobs" at the back and not just the poster I have quoted.

Personally I have had the most fun on this server starting from the back. If I move my way up the grid to what seems to be my average placing (around 10th) I find I'm racing on my own most of the time trying to catch up the next guy. If I start from the back (or drive slowly to one side at the start as I haven't sussed how to start at the back yet) I have a much more fun race.

Yes you get knocked about a bit, sometimes off, but I just take that as a challenge to get back up to a similar position before the end of the race.

In my opinion, most of the drivers at the back are just as good sportsman (trying to stay clean) as the guys at the front, they are just not as good and consistant so more mistakes are made.

Personally I don't understand the blue flag messages. Why is someone who is ignoring a massive "Blue Flag" message, which is displayed just above your line of sight for the track, going to pay attention to someones small blue flag text in the top right of the screen?

And the name of that friend would be..?

What's it to you anyway? Or did I miss the announcement where you were put in charge of demo racers using cracked accounts?

Quote from Woz :

BTW: In some cars you CAN feel the bite point through the pedal. Depends on the car.

In the world of modern over damped and power assist everything cars all you feel through most of the controls is mush. You have to use G feel to tell you want is going on. Drive an old car like an Mini where you are directly connected to what you control and you will understand

Being nearly 40 I have driven a fair few old cars with both cable and hydraulic clutch mechanisms, including many minis, and I don't remember feeling the clutch bite in the pedal but maybe my feet arn't as sensitive as yours. What exactly does it feel like?

All manual cars have a "bite point". How else are you going to do a hill start for example? Do you not hold the hand brake up, increase revs slightly, slowly lift your foot off the clutch untill you feel the car trying to pull forward (bite point) then in one combined motion, increase revs, let clutch pedal out fully and release the handbrake?


I agree you don't feel this in your pedals when driving a real car, you feel it in your ass but then he'd have to wish for a force feedback seat!

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Oh terrible sorry chap. Didn't mean to offend you.

Not offended in the slightest. I just thought it was amusing that you claimed it was you alone that got Sam to agree to make this change and decided to comment on it.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

All I did was a make a thread (didn't see any others) about it,

No you didn't. You made a thread about opening race 1 to S2 tracks. It was others that mentioned maybe adding STD cars to race 2. It also had been discussed in this thread.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

I merely explained what happened...

No you didn't. You explained it as your ego saw it but like I said earlier, lets not let facts get in the way of your ego.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

I got Bob to open Race 2 to the XFG/XRG as a sub-class, so we get all the S2 tracks. Just waiting for him to actually do it.

There were a number of us asking for this to happen but don't let the facts get in the way of your ego.
