Can I make another sarcastic comment about rim width (i.e. point out that you meant WHEEL width )

Typical Tristan talk!!

And, it says im still online at FM but i haven't even got LFS running

Me too, suddenly just got disconnected from Oval (FM) after pressing shift and F6 to see what it does... lol

Quote from Rtsbasic :

Bleh..my old Micra had a rubbish radio/tape and well erm that was it. Good for listening to sport results on, and sod all else. I helped a friend install a new sound system into his Audi Quattro, and to be honest I wasn't impressed. It came out sounding all distorted (to me), but he seems chuffed with it, I suspect maybe because it was very base heavy.

My home stereo I like a lot..Panasonic SA-AK520 unit with matching speakers and seperate sub. For under £200 it sounds very nice and clear.

What wattage is it??

Your home one, i mean!!

Quote from neRu :

In my saab i've given sound quality a go. I've fitted some Pioneer 4inch frontspeakers with tweeters to give the sound a good detail, some blaupunkt 6 by 9inch in the rear to give it depth, and a 10inch amped magnat supreme 2500 to give it feel. At this time i am rebuilding it, and i'm going for 2 8inch subs in closed 6-10 liter cabinets instead, to give the feel a more precice tone and feel and not just the feel.

Hehe... Sounds like you've got a big job on your hands, good luck with it!!

Dan,

Nice bike, wish you health 2 use it!!

Looks good, well done!! I like the bit at the start with the slow wheelspin!!

Quote from Ryanry64 :

Looks like it could have been avoided, but if anyone else did this no one would care.

All I know is as an F1 fan I'd much rather see him up there battling with Alonso than being docked 10 places and seeing Alonso run away with it

Maybe, but he was not a fair sport so he has to be "punished"!! It's not what's more entertaining, it's what's right!!

Quote from axus :

Too fast for the XF GTR and UF GTR and there's no excuse to make it even more powerful seing as making a race version should add power. On the contrary if you take an LX4 and turn in into an LXR, you have and excuse to give it a bit of extra grunt and let it keep up with the XF GTR and UF GTR.

But isn't the LX4 faster than the UF1 and the XFG?? So that means that the difference of the standard cars would be the same when the LX4 turns LXR so wouldn't it be much faster than the other 2 R's??

Quote from Aahz :

Hmm, I don't own a car, but my parents have three, although they are in two different countries, so they don't get used much all the time. All three cars are rather old, so nothing that exciting. Anyhow here's the rundown:
1) The old, old old volvo 850 we have uses a standart casette radio system. It's actually quite good, as the six speakers are mounted perfectly, and the car seems to have nice insulation
2) the skoda fabia also has a casette player and four speakers. It's so so, nothing to be excited about.
3)The skoda octavia has a nifty pioneer cd player and the standart speakers. The quality is pretty nice, considering the setup costed us almost nothing.

Personally, however, I have to say that I love, love, love good car sound systems. On the seldom occasions in my life I got to ride in sweet cars with high-end speakers, I was left stunned by the quality of the sound. It's certainly a very expensive and mostly unneeded pleasure, but I would fall for it, for sure.

Yes, it is very memorable... My dad once had a Bose system in his Audi A4... It was around just over 100 Watts but the bass was great!! The best must be a Fiesta i went in with 2x400 Watt Subs and i believe it had some sick head unit and tweeters with sum mids too... butthe sickening bass must be the most memorable!!

Quote from dUmAsS :

whats With All The Big Writing???

Like i said, that is how i received the email!!

Quote from Becky Rose :

So you get an email telling you not to open an email with an attachment, and you wonder wherther you should heed the advise?

No, i haven't received the e-mail and probably never will but i was just asking if this is a hoax or not...

These type of threads are soooooo annoying!! Why do you want to know?????

Quote from richy :

i hope he doesnt leave and gives LFS a bit more time yet, there is more to come in the game, sometimes forums can cause someone to say stuff they shouldnt, or it can scare people away from really getting used to the game for what it should be. i know this, ive had my clashes with people but i still love this game with all my heart and im so glad i never left it when i said i would!!!

just give it time mate. Maybe you need to try a different car, here ill give you a suggestion of a car to try for a bit on some public servers. Take out the XFR and find a reasonably busy server, and i promise you will see why some people love LFS. the close pack and awesome tracks make for some really enjoyable racing.

just dont give up so soon!!!

So true!!!

Alright... Can a mod close this thread please... There's nothing more to discuss!!

Thanks.

Quote from danowat :

Maybe you could make the text larger...............

Dan,

I don't know how to react to your message lol... I don't mean to be rude if your not, but are you being sarcastic?? Or are you serious... and what text should i make larger if you're not being sarcastic??

Quote from Becky Rose :

Blast, this isn't the kind of latex I was hoping to find.

Is this, in any way, linked to the post in another thread, saying that you are a condom??

Quote from Vendetta :

lol whoever sent that email makes it sound like were going into a war

Lol... Each to their own... But, wouldn't you feel like going into war if you found out that all your LFS files including skins, setups and layouts disappeared??

Quote from Vain :

No. Hoax.

Vain

Well, then maybe make this a sticky to let everybody know (if they don't already know from another thread)!!

This thread really is boring...

I received this message from one of my nice friends, informing me of this "Invitation" virus... Do you believe this is true??

This is the email i received (in the font and size it was in etc...):

PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS:
You should be alert during the next days:
Do not open any message with an attached filed called
"Invitation"
regardless of who sent it
It is a virus that opens an Olympic Torch which "burns" the whole hard disc C of your computer. This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address in his/her contact! list, that is why you should send this e-mail to all your contacts. It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus and open it. !
If you receive a mail called "invitation," though sent by a friend, do not open it and shut down your computer immediately.
This is the worst virus announced by CNN, it has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever.
This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus.
This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept.
SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW, COPY THIS E-MAIL AND SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS AND REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND IT TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US

Did you see one of the trainings where the "OK" driver overtook the "Quick" driver?? lol. It just completely rendered the test void lol
