Nicely made, and since from the sounds of it I am the only person on the planet who hasn't seen the BF2 film this parodies I actually thought it was quite fresh - Oh well must get out from under my rock more often, which means spending more time at home in front of the computer...no wait.... 
Yeah some really nice shots there.
Try this one for one my favourite photography sites and something slightly different.

You know you've been really bad when...
I don't have time to do more than one skin for you, but I haven't fired up photoshop for so long that it probably thinks i don't love it anyomore.
Requests such as your are usually sucessful if lots of skinners jump in and help you out.
Anyways... Have an RB4.
the 1024 file goes online, the 2048 is the high res version for offline play.

Yes I'd like to drive around some real tracks. Of the choices in your poll I'd choose The Nordschleife and Mt Panorama [Bathhurst].
I'd also add Spa to my wishlist though.

That's the link to the Master Skinnerz thead, just don't steal anything out of it without asking [not that I think you would

]Why not find a decent picture of the logo and the Penguins text, in whichever font they use. Perhaps from a match programme or something, scan it and have the text down the sides of the car for folks like me who wouldn't have a clue what it was without some help?
Meh...knew I'd heard that record before, there was I looking through my Gatecrasher cds for it when I should have been looking on the film soundtracks....
I think I would have lost the lens flare, other than that I've no suggested improvements, other than to say you seem to have caught the "rotate the camera" disease just like me

Thanks for the compliment Sam. I don't want to sound arrogant but since I have a degree in multimedia design you'd kinda hope I might know my way around a post processing suite
Rapidshare.de told me that all of its storage space is full atm. So I guess sorry but that's a no.
100Watt per channel Technics Stereo amp and a pair of Wharfedale Modus 8 floorstanding 8 ohm speakers. They're 3 feet tall and have 4 units one of which is a ported 6 inch subwoofer. I may only have stereo sound but I do have some serious boom power bassquake neighbour annoying potential 
In fact the bassline to "Breathe" by the Progidy makes the toaster in my kitchen vibrate quite nicely...and the windows and the living room door and anything else that's loose like the fillings in my teeth.

Thank you for expressing an opinion, all feedback is good feedback whether positve or negative.
Having said that I'm a little disappointed that you didn't mention the 10 hours work that went into masking off the background behind the Bridgestone FXR when it slides into the corner [the background blurs but the car doesn't] I suppose the effect is lost in the crappy wmv render.
Never mind, I'm glad your overall impression seems to have been positive.
I picked up a copy of Virtual Dub, but it appears unable to do more than interpolate the frame rate to something else [daft idea imho] and then export as an avi - forgive my stupidity but are there different versions?

Class 1 GTRS on Blackwood reverse. This isn't a particularly serious race, more a case of me practising playing with the camera angles. This clip features loads of magic floating cameras, sorry if that's not your thing, but hey it's not another drift movie [no offence to those who actually make good drift movies]
Running time 3:40. Compressed to 640x480 25fps WMV [which isn't great quality] I only wish I could post the high quality DV.avi but that's 778mb
If anyone knows of a freeware divx/xvid encoder that is not a time/feature limited demo I'd love you to post me a link.

Enjoy, comments/critique welcomed, [yes I do know there's a couple of tracking errors in the footage, but I'd have to start again to iron them out, so I just lived with it]

The render quality makes me jealous. No matter what I try I can't get near that quality for that compression.
Overall it's a nicely put together clip, although my personal opinion is that it could have used a little more variety in the camera angle and perhaps some tempo changes, although admittedly the chosen audio line would not really have supported the latter.
Nice one...next please.

You have to chuckle about this when you realise quite how much of F1's R&D work is U.K based......sure pull out of the one country which [arguably] contributes more to the engineering basis of your sport than any other.
Oh well, personally this year I've been to plenty of motorsport events, all of which were great fun, none of which involved Bernie Ecclestone and his flying circus.

Bad link mate [here at least]
Check it please

Defintely...this was originally going to be an internal release only 'cos I pinched some of Tristan's bandwidth to host it. [thanks Tristan]
Now that it's been mirrored [thaks fellas] it's in the wider world.
I almost didn't release it at all since the wmv quality and the skin quality is so low. I think there's an STCC skin pack up on the site for download, if the skins in it are not 1024 sq I shall ask people for them.

I'm on XP Home SP2, pretty un-modified install, just the critical/security updates.I also run Norton AV but and Black Ice Defender, but shut them down when installing new apps.
I already had a version of the Logitech profiler installed for my old USB gamepad. The new one installed straight over it, picked up the gamepad, added the G-25 to the list and it just worked,no calibration loss, or FFB problems. Although I can't remember whether or not it demanded a restart.
TBH I thought installing the software was easier than plugging in all of the bits and pieces. I'm wondering if people are describing a software conflict rather than a bug.

What goes around comes around. I don't do favours for people based on whether or not they'd do the same for me if the boot were on the other foot, but my own perception of people's respect for me is usually based on whether or not they try to treat me as a doormat.
I often do go out of my way to assist people without reward, and I don't have a problem with that, but I'm more likely to do that for people who I think or have proven that they would do the same for me.
In the workplace I try hard to maintain a balance between being seen as a decent hardworking bloke who'll do a bit extra and being the mug in the corner who can have anything dumped on him. There are no hard and fast rules to what I'd do/not do, so it's difficult to put anything concrete into writing, but Sam's lab rat analogy is sound, it's just up to you to decide when to say no.
Relationships are a very difficult matter to consider in this context. My girl is often the person who's doing the cooking, putting the washing machine on, or coming to find me to bring me something I've been too stupid to take with me, so I would have been quite happy to interrupt my evening to fetch her from somewhere and would have just accepted that circumstances had changed if she then didn't need me to. I guess that's because our relationship is give and take all the time. I don't know how your's works, and you're not me, so I guess again I'm left with saying "you should do what feels right to you" again, even though that does sound pants.
