I've played guitar for 35+ years. Along the way, picked up bass, banjo, mandolin, and I annoy my dogs with the fiddle from time to time.

I've done solo gigs, acoustic duets and trios, all the way up to hard/progressive rock original-only bands...had a great time mostly, but never got that "break" that one needs to soar. A lot of bands ended up busting up because of ego issues, or substance abuse (which I don't tolerate)


Met some cool peeps in all those years, including Pat Travers (he had a small studio next to a place I worked at a few years ago; used to hang out back with him and smoke cigarettes and bs about music, girls, cars, etc.), Steve Miller (worked with his cousin in Dallas), as well as some folks who are still trying to break in to the main stream, but were amazing musicians.

I still have it in the back of my mind that I'll get another shot one day. I still write music, and play every day. I don't play covers too much anymore, other than learning the odd eclectic piece here and there.

George's thread title is certainly more descriptive...

If he had searched thread titles for something related, why would he think that "Aye up" would be about the same story?

What a sad day. Brad's voice was as integral a part of Boston's sound as Scholz's and Goudreau's guitar work.

Rest in Peace, Brad

Yeah, Bob, there is, for both LOTF and [gtx]. Marsh is aware of the problem, but can only enter me on LOTF, which he already has. As I wrote earlier, I do show up on the Team listing for LOTF and [gtx]. The problem is, my personal profile only shows me as being on [gtx]. I'd go ahead and request a drop from [gtx], as they don't really race in any leagues as a team, just Sunday get togethers on a private server. The Team Admin is ca6, who is from Sweden, and it's hit or miss to when he is online to check PMs or emails.

I guess I mistitled the thread...should have been "LFSW Profile Team Listing issue"

'Tis not that big a deal. I can wait until ca6 shows up and request he remove me from [gtx]. Wont effect my ability to race with my old mates...

Thanks

Not sure where to put this, so if it's in the wrong forum, please move to correct location.

I'm a member of two teams, LOTF and [gtx]. I do all my public racing as a LOTF driver, but I get together fro some private hosted races with my mates at Team [gtx]...

In the Team Listings, I'm shown on both teams, but in my personal Driver's Profile, it only shows [gtx] as my team.

Is there a workaround for this, other than to be dropped by [gtx]? I want my Driver's Profile to indicate that I am primarily a driver for LOTF.

TIA

The hottest, the baddest ever and ever to be...

Hehe, haven't seen that in a while

I suppose this pic belongs in here as well ...

Oh jeeze...Thanks Bean0. I now have coffee all over my keyboard :uglyhamme

Hehe...looking for a way to avoid the carnage form this last weekend, eh Breizh? :icon23:

Land of the Free is a racing team, and part of the League of the Americas, along with CHOPS Racing Canada and CoRe Racing. There are a couple of other affiliate teams, but they seem to be inactive.

The BF1 is not for everyone, just as Formula 1 is not for every driver. As the supposed pinnacle of motorsports technology, F1 cars are tricky to drive. I am of the opinion that most of the F1 drivers today (please note I did say most) are among some of the finest drivers in the world, and for good reason.

I tried earlier today to look for a quote I heard a while back...I think it was Jeff Gordan's crew chief to Jeff Gordan when he had a test drive in an F1 car some time ago. I have to paraphrase (if you know who did say this, and the exact quote, please let us know):

A drive in the worst Formula 1 car is better than a drive in any other race car.

Quote from MAGGOT :

As an Industrial Designer in training; I deal with form and function on a constant basis. Personally, I like it when the function is so exact that it determines much of the form. It makes designing the form to be aesthetically pleasing a much more difficult conquest; often with much more interesting results that something done the other way around. I think that is the major problem in the auto industry these days; everyone seems to design the bodywork and then try to fit everything inside it. Engineering should be done at the same time as the design work; it should all work together, not appose one another.

As a technician who has been involved in prototype engineering over many years (albeit, not in the auto industry) I personally find function determining form to be aesthetically pleasing. This is just my taste though, and I have no consideration for marketing appeal or the taste of those outside of engineering or industrial design.

This being said, I personally find the DP1 to be a beautiful car.




OT Sidenote: MAGGOT, what specific field of ID are you in?

Glad the driver is ok...scary looking.


On a lighter note: That'll buff right out.

It gets tiresome to read all the acrimony between drifters, racers, tuners, Licenced, Demos, et al.

This sub-forum is a Suggestion forum, where ideas/requests can be presented by the members, discussed, and considered by the Devs (or not). Why some of these threads turn into panty twist, sandy kitty flame-wars says a lot about some people...
