Well if LFS was real life then I guess I'd Disconnect which kind of means I'd die??? because of crappy Nildram!

offtopic: Got a team mate "Horrgakx" also has Mildrid internet, has major trouble connecting too, maybe you should contact him?

Force POWAH India must be having cooling troubles if they need sidepods that big...

EDIT: Christ sake...... Oh no i've mentioned christ, someone ban me!

Remove if you wish, I didn't make it, blame sniff petrol.

You want, You like, You buy

The perfect business model, and i'm following it!

I want a kart sim,

I like the look of it,

If it's good to drive, I buy!

I KNEW IT! I saw this on the front page and thought it would be you Fobert.

+1 for Garph finding those links, I think any of my suggestions will be laughed at so i'll just keep an eye on this and see what you eventually get.

Psst, go intel :P

Encrypt it? And make it only an LFS.exe can read it? Or something along those lines?

Edit: Meant Encrypt, not encode

Oh noes! "Online at: Shikane Drift Server"

Hang on, this also depends on the location of the 5yr olds! Beating a bunch of little ones from a posh school in rural Buckinghamshire would be a doddle, but a bunch of 5yr olds from an estate in North London! :-\

C'mon we can do this! Would it be best to be in the middle of the swarm of kids? Or flank them and have them surrounded, then slowly make our way towards the center, taking them all down. Chokeslam the buggers!

25 for me,

Put us lot together and we could take on an entire school! GRRRRRR "I pity the...children"

Evening chaps, tonight I find myself stuck, swamped, literally drowning!

Motherboards have always been my weakspot, I get completely lost in the sea of difficult numbers and names they give them.
I then begin to weep and to stop the tears streaming down my face I click BUY on any old piece of ship.

Mass Fail...

One board I've been oggling is an Asus P5ND2-SLI motherboard, but hold on a second! Discontinued...

I then spend hours typing into google every kind of way to phrase "successor to the P5ND2-SLI" and get sod all.

So I find myself on here, on my knee's and begging for a saviour!

There are a few specifics I have and they are:

• 775 Socket
  
• Capable of holding 3200 RAM
  
• Must be able to overclock (unlike my monkey of a motherboard atm)
  
• Must be able to take a SATA drive, and 2 IDE's
  
• Must have a PCI-e slot, and/or AGP because my current "XFX6800 xtreme" isn't particularly fantastic (been castrated physically so no unlocking for me!) And i'm looking at purchasing the "X1950Pro" (512mb version).

Also i'm on XP my processor is a Pentium D 805 (it's feeling unloved and under utilized), and my current motherboard is an ABIT SG-80DC

I must admit when I saw the GF Teamless thread, I was very suprised to see we were so well known! Never really felt it, so i'm very grateful for all your wishes.
We look forward to battling with you guys on track in the very near future.

Feels good to freshen up doesn't it Dru?

More useful suggestions would be:

*To be able to see tyre wear and suspension damage on vehicles (like you can in game with F9, F10 etc)

*To be able to enter private servers if you know the server password. (Is that possible already? (I know about admins))

These would be two of the key things for me, especially when entering a long race like MoE or IGTC, to have a fellow driver being able to see the other cars tyre wear and suspension damage, relaying information to me via TeamSpeak would be most helpful.
(Yes i'm aware you can do it in server, but we're talking about LFS Remote here)

It's with great pride that I announce the launch of Peregrinus.
Below I have a few Q&A's to quench your curiosity...

Hang on, you guys look familiar!?

You're damn right we're familiar, that's because only a month ago we were Ready 4 Racing (R4R), the LFS team formed from CRC members Winter 2005.

So who are your members?

As of today there's only 5 of us, small but sweet.
In order of joining:
Kringle (MR_B)
Storm_Cloud
Mike20002
Horrgakx
Adam5k1

So why did you change?

Well, basically the R4R brand was dead in the water, with its name making it impossible to skin with and design logo's for.
Also it was a good time to shake things up a bit, with the closure of the old team we could get some skins together, redo the site,
say goodbye to some of our inactive members and shift our focus to a more driven mindset.

What's happening with the old R4R brand?

The r4r.org.uk domain will now point to Peregrinus.co.uk until i'm ready to use the Ready4Racing name for other projects, the name, its domain and all logo's will remain the property of its owner.

What does Peregrinus mean?

It's latin for crusader, but obviously that is tacky so the Latin word was chosen.

Ok great, so where can I find you online?

Loads of places as we currently are competing in the following:

OWRL (Open Wheel Racing League)
GFC (Gentlefoot Challenge)
IGTC (International Grand Touring Championship)
AR MRT Challenge

We're always on the look out for members, and as the team isn't very big yet, we unfortunately cannot afford to take on new sim drivers as we're usually short on time (so would you if you're running in as many leagues as us!).

So if you consider yourself to be a pretty competent and friendly chap then send your cursor over to www.peregrinus.co.uk and come say hello in the forum!
If not then come find us in a server, we'll be running through some team practice for the IGTC (these tests include running behind safety cars, and switching driver etc) @ 9:30pm GMT on the Peregrinus server.

But for now, that is all.

^P^ Kringle

Quote from rainspecialist :

Ok i have been gone for a while now but anyways i kinda injured myself so i cant race for a while but i now have $62.00 saved up so i will soon try to buy a dfp and then get s2 so im almosy there

How did you manage to injure yourself? Or is it one of those, better not ask, things?

Make sure you do get S2, I don't think anyone in their right mind regrets it.

Oh and remember to check the CRC rules of racing

Imho, it's a story that got very out of hand.... Like Pokemon...

@ British members: I thought the thread was about Pat Butcher

especially when the first line I read was "one handed helmet catch"

Maybe, but looking at the facts here, 5 people have died in the past decade, in Formula One no one has been killed.

Dale Earnhardt at Daytona, February 18, 2001 (Daytona 500)
Tony Roper at Texas Motor Speedway, October 13,2000
Kenny Irwin at Louden, New Hampshire, July 7, 2000
Adam Petty at Louden, New Hampshire May 12, 2000
John Nemechek at Homestead, Florida in 1997

If a formula one chassis was to have a crash on these American oval circuits, how would the vehicle fair? Is it fair to say they would have a higher survival rate than nascar?

I would have thought so, especially considering a NASCAR chassis is merely a tubular space frame :-\

Quote from kurent :

You'll be back...oh yes...they all come back.

enough said, might aswell close this thread now

Waaaooh! That's amazing! If you were to release this, and the entire community vow to buy it for a small amount, you could get yourself into the charts! How about that for publicity...

Realistic hey... I quite fancy crashing a car and injuring myself in the process... He never puts a seatbelt on, but is never injured...

Quote from Stang70Fastback :

That would be a great idea. If it actually hurt, maybe people wouldn't crash as much :P

^ this man's a genius! It would solve all our problems

Have yourself a cookie

Morning all,

Basically the title describes my question.

I'm wishing to extract a certain line from pubstats results, (the &racer=<NAME> extension) and place the specific piece of data into a table on a webpage. The page can either be in php or html format.

But I'm a complete noob as i've never had the chance/ needed to attempt something like this.

What would be my steps, and more importantly, is it possible?

Dazzle me with your wisdom

Kringle

I personally love the side pods of the old jordans yum yum.

Last time I installed the 169 drivers my computer decided it could only cope with 4 colours, and would refused to accept resolutions above 640X480...
