Kyoto GP circuit - even doing slowish laps you could do an eight lap race in twenty minutes. It would be nice to settle into a longer rhythm and... well, LFS doesn't actually have any loooongggg tracks, does it? 
No question - Fern Bay Green reversed. Its always been immensely fun, especially the back section: uphill from the esses, a small kink, then grit-your-teeth for the left turn in - get it wrong and you scrape that huge wall... I could go on, but you know the course. Its way more fun reversed than in the other direction. I'm happy with Fern Bay Gold in either direction: well suited to the GTi.
I know its going to be against the grain, but Westhill reversed too has always provided really fast and close racing for the GTi.
Aston Cadet is a banger racing track - only fun if you want to do full contact racing. Aston Club I could live with though. But I'd prefer any of the longer Aston circuits....
(except Aston National...)
Kyoto National is really good too.

Fox hunting in the UK has never been about hunting, pest control, or any of those other excuses they use. Its a ritual reminder of who owns who. You should have driven right through the bunch of them, reminded them and their assembled collaborators that the majority of us see their moribund tradition for what it is.
Used to have one of those... Most fun car I've ever driven, probably because of its imperfections. The turbo was very laggy and if you misjudged a corner, you'd find yourself in a space devoid of acceleration at the apex. Then, all of a sudden, a rush of movement would attempt to twist the steering wheel out of your hands as the front wheels dragged you tighter into the direction you were pointing them.
But keep on top of that and it was a great little car.
Is sending everyone time, place, date, and the centre's contact number a bit optimistic?
Anyway, I have my car back [still looking at the bill with a sense of existential despair....], so it looks like I'll be driving from South London. If that works out and anyone wants to share in a tank of diesel, let me know nearer the time.
Yeah, me too... haven't read the entire thread yet, but notice that the car designer is posting, so just wanted to say: Hello! Been watching the build on your site for a while now and loved being able to follow it from initial thoughts, through the CAD stages, and on to the tribulations of making it real. Thanks for all of that. As entertaining as it is informative.
Guiness Foreign Extra Stout... Mmmmmm. Brewed in Nigeria and 8% alcohol by volume. Honestly, I can't drink in any great quantity these days, so I genuinely drink for the taste. This stuff really is better tasting than the bottled Guiness we usually get from the offy. Even when slightly warm...
Do you know what? I've seen a great deal of stuff in my time and have come to believe that I'm unshockable...
.....but my stomach just did a somersault.
I have to ask: is that story for real?!

Nicely detailed (with the hand print on the rear three-quarter). Made me laugh, so no, not offensive.
At which point someone posts to request that the developers provide server scripts to determine whether someone is sitting in a room lit by a fluorescent tube or a genuine, heated filament light bulb. The quality of light is warmer from a bulb, but the low wattage of a fluorescent tube gives a significant economic advantage, and the poster would like to race against people in similarly lit rooms.
LOL - a twelve year old to post about wanting a halogen bulb for S3 and a middle-aged man to state that 60W omni-directional bulbs are what LFS is mostly used for and anything else is subjective exhibitionism and not in any way a true lighting method.
Oh, and it also needs someone to post something long and startlingly illiterate in multicoloured fonts.
Seven to argue that the current standard of light bulbs are not bright enough, three to claim they have "Change the light bulb please" bound to F6, five more to retort that they hate seeing these binds online, and a further random smattering of comments about how this is "political correctness gone mad!" and if they see a dim light bulb they'll gladly smash it...
Maybe this has been posted before:

(...it's worth another post anyway), but watch the mini (no rollcage) get pulverised, followed by the commentators rather jaunty observations. They built 'em hard in those days! So I guess the cabriolet's passengers would have just dusted themselves down and thumbed a lift!

Great fun! Look especially for a Beetle that dumps its driver out of the door and into the gravel, and a cabriolet that tap dances through the gravel without dumping any of its full complement of passengers.

Ugly. Really, really ugly....
If they were going to spend 8 million dollars, you'd think they might spend a little of it on design, rather than fleecing a few hard-up design students of spare ideas.

Don't even add AS national to the poll... Please....
Forgot to vote for a road car, would prefer RWD...
Someone with more time on their hands than I have should do a multitracked version of all the Smoke on the Water covers on Youtube...

I'm presuming the smiley means thats a joke, otherwise I'd have to respond that the words "paperless office" are completely inaudible these days due to the amount of paper that acts as sound-proofing in every office I've seen.

2CD collection - the first cd I shall be using as a coaster from now on, but the second.... Note to my neighbours: I shalll be playing this all afternoon. Louder each time.

Cause I later edited my post to signal that I'd re-read your post and seen that you make a differentiation...
I can identify musicianship in songs that I despise, but it is meaningless to me. I have no reason to appreciate it - there are lots of hard working people in the world and just because someone works to integrate various musical constituents, it doesn't make their music necessarily worth anyone's time.
Of course popular doesn't mean good. I am a fan of some of the most unpopular music on the planet (I listen to Merzbow the way some people listen to Erik Satie... Mind you, I listen to Satie quite a bit too). But even bad dance music is preferable to virtuoso, but dull musicianship.
Haven't bothered reading the entire thread - the posts on this page give me a bit of the flavour....
I'll nail my colours to the mast here and say that I'm a vehement critic of US foreign policy and of the cavalier way the Bush administration approached this war. Its just a shocking example of ideology ruling, no... stamping all over rationality.
But all the same, I have to say that I feel for those pilots. I think they were let down in the field. From the video it was clear that they did everything possible to verify the target from their position. They clearly indicated that the target was a possible friendly, but were told that it wasn't possible.
Something broke between them and their ground support. That's where any investigation should be looking.
