Seen this guy wrecking yesterday, people told him to not wreck and he said sorry I wont crash anymore. Gave the guy the benefit of the doubt, told him, ctra is not exactly the best place for wrecking since they have such a good report system. Obviously ignored the warnings and decided to carry on. Not only that but now impersonating CTRA on the server. This guy really isnt sorry even if he says he is, please remember that. This guy will lie or tell you bullshit so he can wreck one more time.

... Bloody double entendres...

wii is number 1. hows that?

not even going to waste my time looking at their site let alone get the demo of "pro street" - street racing is illegal for a good reason. need for speed owe me money for insurance premiums.
edit: bit of a rant there, sorry, its the morning

my first motor a small 1.2 litre clio (called nicole!) didnt have power steering, it didnt need it, it had some alloys on there with a wide tyre and decent tyres on it, made steering heavy for parking but great at speeds. My cars since have had power steering and I certainly feel a bit more out of touch in cornering. i dont know much about motors but thats just how it feels. could be other reasons but i just prefered the non power steering driving.

Quote from Volvo240t :

... and i have closed, STEAM, BITCOMET, LIMEWIRE ...

These will most certainly affect your pings and LFS. Steam can max your internet connection out if its downloading a patch or something automatically, same goes for the others they all hog bandwidth. even something like anti virus can give you spikes if it gets new definitions automatically in the background while you play, although I wouldnt suggest turning this off. MSN Xfire AOL anything that uses the net. Web pages downloading adverts.... just try to keep the internet connection for LFS only.

indeed.

Nice poll.

I chose short track many laps, I just prefer sprint racing close tightly packed for longer less drawn out and the lead pack often has to overtake back markers making it even more exciting.

I love south city, I love bombing around and seeing cars flying everywhere and tricky gradients causing locks ups and mayhem. I could race south city all day long through the good and bad times i am always grinning a smile.

I voted for all of the above.

(yes I know I havent voted any)

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

Could of done what I used to do and pull off the keys on all the keyboards near you and replace them in a different order, usually spelling out swear words. I was so cool.

lol.

or a locked windows marquee screensaver of "This Teacher is a dickhead" on as many machines as you could in one room. Ah the old scrolly screensaver, good times.

Sorry to hear that, very harsh indeed to get injured like that. I wish him well for a full, quick recovery. Hospitals can be very boring and you have time to think about day to day things ticking by in the real world such as LFS and all sorts.

If any of you have old books you wont read or dont read then kindly donate them to your local hospital since they are like a paper medicine.

Take care all. Good health is a treasure bigger than any jewel.

Quote from -NightFly- :

well Celtic made me jelaous about his "team"render...so I kindly ask mr JakG if he has some spare time to make same magic to my skins (same as u did with celtic).

hehe

thanks for the render jakg its currently my desktop piccie till the baby r season is finished. I just hope my health holds up for all the races, its a bummer if I have surgery soon (not too sure if or when right now, waiting on a letter) which will mean a week or more in a hospital bed, so no LFS or anything, and after getting out will be hard because using the steering wheel will be painful with it. will have to see how it goes, if the pain is bad ill do loads of painkillers lol or if its too bad swap to joypad and lay out on the sofa. i refuse to let this get in the way of things i want to do.

This is what you need to do to go faster down the straight.

You need to try and push the car up the straight, from the drivers seat. Confused?

Grab the wheel, hop in your seat willing the car forward, try humping the steering column, the slight change in weight will get you vital milleseconds up the road.

Great video mate. I like the way you did the two wheels to two wheels in time with the beat. And the sliding on your side down the straight.

hehe i made 113th.

Quote from BenjiMC :

What kinda pressures were you running? That tyre looks punctured.

13.8 psi in the rears. just stretched a bit in that chicane.

Quote from Dragonmen :

I just came from hospital... he had some visibility problems after you landed on his head, that's way he retired. He's ok now

Are you ok?

He got away from that lightly I ended up on my roof and race over. Maybe not the best place to overtake in the lx6 eh. He scored his forced error on me, and im sorry i ended up bouncing off his roof. but he should have won from there on.

Slipstream.

Here is a few screenshots showing my race.



Seemed to be under control going into T1.


Building some lead.


Losing some lead.


Feeling the pressure.


Into the high speed chicane.


I miss my turn in and have too much speed. The tyres are pushed to the limit.


Not a pretty sight.


DNF.

well i was leading server 3 from pole until lap 20 where second place had caught me and i made a mistake in the chicane hitting the wall pretty hard. race over bit of a disaster. oh well. thanks for the race guys and sorry to the guy who I landed on top of in the crash.

take care all hope you had fun

i can chat to xfire from LFS no problems there. the problems i get is the screenshots are very buggy and it doesnt show what server im playing on by the server name (it shows IP). no server list from from xfire including favourites and last visited etc. other than that it does log how long i play and does the main things.

Render: Design Dudes

Very nice render.

hi the drivers for round 4 of HR are richy and teedot. if that helps some? team name on my LFSW is [HR] ...

eek sounds like it got a bit rough in there tonight.

Quote from StableX :

yeah, it really sucks as Niels is obviously the best driver but Celtic wont let him shine.... says he has to wait his turn and learn to be driver number 2 first. Celtic runs a tough group!
