Thanks 96 GTS 
Nice and simple, I like the theme.

Obviously coupled with the fact that they are being taken over just now.
Otherwise I would assume that their normal customer service is really no worse than any other web based supplier.
I couldn't agree more about the feeling of the Viscous diff.
I usually get taunted by team mates or called a noob for using it(!), but it feels far better than any other differential IMO.
Yes it isn't as fast, but as was said above, I would rather enjoy and be consistent in my driving than be continually fighting an unpredictable or snappy setup.
What setting do you usually use for Viscous? In my experience I usually have it set to 17-20Nm (the maximum). Do these values stand up in reality? The reason I ask is because I use the viscous diff on many of the smaller & lighter cars, i.e. LX4, XRG and XRT. However, I often feel that the maximum stiffness offered by 20Nm is not enough for the larger cars, i.e. FZ5 and LX6. Would it be more realistic for the Viscous Diff to go all the way up to 30Nm or higher for instance?

You just picked a bad time to buy from Savastore im afraid.
I have used them numerous times in the past without ANY problems. They also consistantly had the best price I could find and had a good order tracking system.
I hope they get things sorted out, but it looks like you go the sticky end of the stick
I find Ebuyer as the next best alternative IMO. I usually pick between the two, but it looks as though Savastore are out of the question for now.

However, I have been getting my PC 'just as I want it' so that has cost some cash, but I would have spent that anyway. I save money on not buying many other games. I only buy the big titles like Doom3 & Half-Life 2...which shows how long it is since I bought a game. I got Prey...but that doesn't count
They are in bed. It is 3am in the UK. I think they have a life and need to sleep at this time of night.
I'm in the US at the moment, so I have an excuse for posting this late

I like the home made cute kitty cat avatar.....8/10.
My Avatar isn't that exciting and I'm pretty lazy about changing it, so I'm not expecting a too high score....unless a dSRC member comes next

I have noticed that alot when changing the number. It is a little annoying, but I always get it to work by adding the colour function.
e.g. I delete the #4 then hold Ctrl to re-enter the correct colour then just type in #3.
I guess you had figured that out, but it would be nice if the host name wasn't sensitive to colour.
edit: hmm, dSRC spam. I guess we all came across this problem
Snap! If i was to buy a classic car i would buy that.
And also a '73 Porsche 911 Carrera RS. Vroom.
One word of warning about Open Office.
I was all for using Open Office full time and ditching MS Word. However, I still needed the word format for compatibility reasons, i.e. to send it to others.
However, Open Office couldn't format .doc files correctly, either that or it plain old couldnt use them. I forget exactly, suffice to say that I had annoying compatibility and formatting problems when I either tried to send or recieve documents to other people.
Just a heads up. Otherwise it is a great package. Unfortunately I resorted to Word in the end to stop needless faffing about. Ive never had any bother with that bloody paperclip/dog anyway. Turned it all off ASAP.

Um, those pings are pretty good!
In LFS I get 50ms at best. Anything less has to be within 5miles of my house, or on my LAN.

I couldnt recommed Project Gotham 2 more thoroughly. I have had many a good hour spent playing the single player, but even more spent playing split screen and system linked with my brothers Xbox.
It is kind of semi-sim, but you won't find yourself spinning out or loosing control.
I played Forza on the Xbox too and found it to be pretty good. It was really as close as you can get to sim racing on a console IMO. However I did find it really tricky with the standard Xbox controllers as you have very little analogue travel on the triggers as your accellerator and brake. I'm sure more practice will make them better, but for the time I spend on the demo I had to resort to ABS as there was no feel etc etc. Still a very good and challenging racer (mostly because of controller in my case but it isn't a big turn off).

You should talk to [dSRC] Bladerunner, he has been running the [dSRC] Nursery server for some time now.
It is exactly the same idea, so maybe he might have some tips? I'm just thinking out loud. I'm sure he will post too at some point.

I'm just thinking out loud. I'm sure he will post too at some point. nice ome me neither! Its just nicer to have something other than the bog standard black/white. And I can see Black being the overwhelming colour of choice....this being a forum for black wearing Neo look-a-like geeks right?
What is the difference to a Baseball shirt as opposed to a T-Shirt?
They look the same to me and I like the coloured sleeves on the Baseball shirt.
Also, I hope the supplier is European based.....I got a polo-shirt from work which had been supplied from America, it was nearly as wide as it was tall

I never bought it, I got it from my bro when he got a new one on his contract

There aren't 18 posts yet...so spam until then
I voted that the sounds were an improvement. They still need alot of tweaking though.
I have to agree that the transmission noise is overwhelming. It now seems to be the predominant sound in almost all of the cars.
It is beggining to bug me
Has anyone found a way to remove it? It's not in the Sound folder anyway.
I would be quite happy to keep it, if only I could turn it down and make the engine the predominant sound again.
Effects volume sliders please Scawen
edit: That video of the old Skyline was excellent. To my ears there was nothing but a screaming 4cylinder and wind noise.
