I'll get 'round to a MRT and a helmet over the weekend and then that will have to be all from me since I have the uPGaming team breathing down my neck for the 3/4 of the cars that I haven't skinned for them yet, as well as everything else I have to do in that intrusion called "real life"

Technically speaking England, Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland are the seperate countries which form the U.K....sure they're governed from Westminster but in many different sports they compete seperately since we're not allowed to fight with each other anymore.
World Cup? Brazil to win... boring I know but they're just too good.
We'll all sing the 3 lions, drink our Carlsberg and wave our little St George's crosses [without being called racist for a change]. Sadly it will make no difference and one of our defenders will still miss a penalty somewhere down the line. The papers will be full of glorious England and how next time might, just might be our time. Gazza will cry, Wrighty will leap about all excited and Hansen will say something disparaging, whilst Lineker looks on bemused as usual.
Then we will all return to normal until the next time we end up in a penalty shoot out.
I'm 35 but since I stand 6 feet 7 and weigh 17 1/2 stone me and these little toy kart things don't mix so I'm gonna hold a camera for the day.....however I can handle my beer
Turn up...the more of us "old farts" there are around to show the kids the way the better

Is the best searchable source for high quality decals
BUT the files are in a format called .eps which means you will need either photshop the gimp or paintshop pro to read them.

Premiere edits After Effects does not.
After Effects is effectively photoshop for motion graphics. It allows you to stack up layers like you would with a .psd file and apply affects to them and turn them on and off. Premiere can acheive this to a certain extent, but After Effects is capable of using the photshop blend modes [colour dodge etc etc] and applying animated effects to layers, and many other things which Premiere cannot do.
Essentially the two are designed to work together, Premiere first to do the editing then After Effects [hence the word "after"] to do the clever stuff.
Premiere renders at a higher quality than After Effects and After Effects is not designed to deal with hours of footage, it wants you to give it small segments to play with... it will deal with however much footage you throw at it, but you'd better have a fast machine if you import 30 mins into it.
It's not commonly used professionally for films,because truth be told it's a bit clunky, however it is more widely used in making commercials. The only film I know of which was post processed by After Effects is "Sky Captain and the World of Tommorrow" starring Jude Law, Gwynet Paltrow and Angelina Jolie.

I own a 350D and three of the lads on my degree course own 300D's. The 350D shoots more shots per second in sports mode, can write to the card faster, boots up eleventy million times quicker and has several custom features like 2nd curtain flash sync that the 300D does not. The 300D is far from a bad camera but the 350D is a million times better, and having used the two side by side I'm glad I bought mine new and paid the extra.
From my point of view the trouble with F1 these days is that it appears to be somewhat sanitised, a pale imitation of its former self if you like. Yes it's still the pinnacle of modern motorsports but if you sit and watch the footage of Gilles Villneuve in the turbo Renault and I forget who in the Ferrari going around Dijon Prenois in about 1980, it's much more exciting. They swap places about 4 times in one lap, lock the wheels going into corners and atually touch tyres going down the straight at god knows what miles an hour. Add to that the fact that Dijon Prenois is a fantastic swoopy circuit in the same vein as Brands Hatch or a shorter Spa and you get the picture.
To be quite honest these days I find Formula 1 with its computer assisted cars and flat tracks rather boring. Yes you still need to be a God amongst men to drive one quickly but the days of proper big balls racing are gone.[With the exception of Monaco where you need to have a lobotomy before stepping into the car]
I find myself happier in front of the WRC [even that's taken a serious dive] or the Aussie V8s especially the Bathurst , cos certainly in the case of the Aussie stuff it's much more exciting. 500+bhp and rubbing doors in a car about the size of a Vauxhall Carlton, now that's what I call racing...

That's really what Adobe After Effects is for.
you could try the link below, I'll confess I use After Effects, and my Premiere installation is as standard, so I couldn't tell you if any of these are any good.

In that case I apologise for seeming to get hot under the collar
I thought that the design concept suited the product range, or at least my preconceptions of it :P.
I think you should establish one visual convention for links and stick to it. The text in the topbar navigation goes white on mouseover and I expected everything else to do the same but it doesn't. Personally I find that a little confusing, I like sites with established design conventions 'cos it makes it easier for me to guess what something does.
As Kev said Alt tagging your imagery and using .jpgs not .gifs would definitely be and improvement.
The shop page has one line of text in times new roman [I suspect there's a default font tag in there that you've missed]
Arial/Verdana/Helvetica may well be the world's most boring fonts but they are the web standard. I don't like Comic Sans either but then that is a matter of taste as much as anything else.
Having the heading "giftware categories page" instead of "giftware contents page" would stop it looking like there are only 4 items in the shop.
Oh yeah and on the new additions page the "bathtime" heart graphic isn't aligned with the rest.
Errr that's about all I can think of mate, hope it helps.

Sweet....I've never played any of the wipeout games, tbh I don't even think the shape of the wipeout cars and their paint jobs translates to the Fox very well BUT I do like those simple classy skins, nice one!
We've been over all of this before... essentially it's impossible to prevent people from having/using a low quality version of it, since it's gonna end up in the skins X folder... So I write "not for public use" on it as a "pointer" and leave the rest to the good manners and respect of this community.
As for the 2048, well hey you can only use that offline, i.e in a place where nobody else knows you have it....and what I don't know about I'm not going to waste time worrying about.
Logitech FZR NOT FOR PUBLIC USE
Same deal as before, the 2048 is for screenshots and the 1024 is for you to upload to play with online.
Could I prompt you to send that e-mail I mentioned on Tuesday please? Any later will be too late

Please check your private message panel E.C
Here's your Logitech F08. the FZR is going to have to wait until later in the week...Thursday maybe. Wednesday is both my birthday and the day I finish university for good, so I may be slightly the worse for wear come Thursday we'll see...
Anyways hope this'll do ya, if you want to screenshot it then use the 2048 version and turn off the skin compression feature in the game options panel & upload the 1024 to LFS world for online use.

That's much better, thank you.
I'll start by giving you an F08 and if I have time possibly and FZR too.

Do you have a much bigger example of the 3d logo? the jpg in the corner of the pages is far too small to become a major feature of a skin, end the .eps files available through the brands of the world site don't have the 3d bevelled appearance of the logo on the logitech site?
As for master skinnerz, well it's emphasis is on providing the support, resources and encouragement necessary to help people make their own skins. A full set of skins is a huge job given that there are so many different car shapes that any design needs to be adapted to. Some of the MSz members take commissions but very few if any will do a whole set because of the amount of work involved. That and the fact that so many requests are made for full skin sets are probably the reasons your thread on that board got ignored.

Maybe and then again maybe not... I haven't asked
Don't wanna put you off but my "entry level" SLR the Canon 350D cost me £800 with body 18-58mm Canon kit lens and 1gb CF card. [10 months ago]
Realistically I'd say save your £130 and keep saving until you can add a minimum of another £120 to it, particuarly if you want something with a reasonably quick lens.
Before you buy go to a camera shop and get a demo, play with a few different models, then go home find them on the web and go back to the shop and ask for a price match, buying retail means you've got a real person to take it back to if it should screw up...
Don't focus on the pixel output...a 20mp camera with a cheap lens and a crappy colour sensor is still going to take a crappy picture... that's why you try before you buy and ask if you can see the photos on a monitor or paper and not just on the screen on the back of the camera.
I'd only buy something like a camera online if it was considerably cheaper and I couldn't find a retailer prepared to price match it.

Driving offline is only ever gonna teach you where the quickest lines and the braking points are, even slow racers like me can beat the AI frieght train.
I'd say you need to get online where you've got to be taking account and sometimes advantage of other people's mistakes. As often as not your perfect lap goes out of the window because you can't drive through somebody else.
I've no doubt you'll cause a few accidents however much you practice before you play online, and I've no doubt you'll continue to do so from time to time for as long as you play the game. So does everyone else, so don't worry about it, get out there and meet some people and make some friends, I suspect you'll have a whole lot more fun that way

Think I bumped into you last night... to be fair the server we were on did have a real mixture of abilities... if you were to try one of the restricted combo ukct.net servers such as FE Gold fox I think you'd have more fun than last night when you did seem to be getting a bit of a rough ride.
Alternatively you could scout around....there's plenty of teams about, not all of em are aliens and not all of em have uber skins either.
Race on the pubics, bump into people and take it from there mate.. seems to me that's about the size of it.
Chris Kerry... I'm travelling from Derby and MAY be able to organise a lift for you since it looks likely that one my mates is coming to help me with the filming... it just depends whether or not he gets his suspension rebuilt in time.....if not we're all on the train....
I needed a break from starting at After Effects and Premeire all day so I made you a quick XFR skin, I'm only a very average skinner and it's only a very simple skin, still I hope it does the job....
2048_2048 version for screenshots
1024x1024 version to upload for online
Just one more thing, please no more .gifs...
