NZ is a nice place and a lot of Brits want to move there!

But yeah, I'll offer something on top of what the others said: Do something unique.

Something that sets you apart from the average Joe. Whether that's racing karts, having a unique car, or skydiving, just do something most people will never do.

I try to do that and it's a good feeling not following the pack...

Apprenticeship all the way. A friend of mine did the BMW scheme after his A levels and is now a qualified tech with a permanent job at a BMW dealer, whereas a friend-of-a-friend did a college course and will probably start at a backstreet garage/less prestigious brand if he gets into a dealership.

Thanks, I'll try that Think the last time I played LFS with a wheel was so long ago it didn't have that option!

EDIT: Fixed! Cheers matey, I can now feed my sideways addiction and do unnatural things to a FWD saloon!

Hi guys,

I've recently hooked up my DFP to my Windows 7 laptop but am suffering from noticeable input lag, which makes winding lock off after catching a slide almost impossible. My Wingman settings are set to the recommendations in the LFS Wiki, can anyone offer help?

Video of the problem HERE

Zeug: I'm not saying he should be killed, I'm just saying I wouldn't stop him killing himself - from a rational viewpoint having weighed up the pros and cons.

DejaVu: If quick edit had a "lol" smiley, I'd click it!

Zeug: It's not so much being an "internet tough guy", if you can name me one good thing that will come from him being alive then I'll consider changing my opinion. I can think of lots of bad points...

DarkTimes:

Different perspectives. My view is fairly simple - one less murderous **** in the world is a good thing. I could rant about why should normal, decent people pay to support this danger to society in prison but I won't...

who are trying to talk him out of shooting himself

Why? Let him, problem solved. Would save everyone a lot of time, money and hassle.

That looks bloody ace! The sense of humor is spot on: "I've been dead for a while, after you MURDERED ME! We both said a lot of things you'll regret... but we can put our differences behind us for science - you monster!"

The "it burns!" of the toasted gun turrents crack me up and I quite like that new sphere guy.

And the new gameplay mechanics? Spectacular!

That road in the gameplay video looks worryingly straight. Where's the twists and turns of Rocky Pass from HP2 (my favourite NFS)?

Ignoring the V8 thing, Lexus IS200? RWD, 0-60 in a respectable 9.5secs, leather/half leather, cruise control, all that...

The 7 series looks tasty though, not sure its the most reliable thing ever!

I thought Nokia were abandoning Symbian after the N97 and sticking with Maemo from now on?

What happened with your previous view on this

Completely different points. I'd rather have the cars because moar is always better, and it's quite fun sitting on the handbrake and pretending a CVT'd Honda Jazz is a drift car. Saying that and saying the terms "Premium" and "Standard" are misleading aren't mutually exclusive... I think!

I still think the terms Premium and Standard are a pisstake though. How about Standard/New for Premium, and "Old Shite We Stuck In That Took Five Minutes Cos We Spent So Long Building BBQs For The Dynamic Crowd We Forgot To Make Any F*cking Cars" for the GT4 cars?

My view on it is that I'm happy to have GT5 with 200 new awesome cars and the new features, and I'd rather have the GT4 cars than not have them really. If you don't like 'em, don't drive 'em.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I thought a US contractor was responsible for the leak, not BP itself?

Don't call their helpdesk ever, I've been round in circles for hours with the stupid thing in the past. After 2 weeks of constant outage from Tiscali and ****-all support from CS ("Yes, my router is on and pingable, you twunt"), I switched to BT and never looked back.

To be quite honest, I'll be surprised if yours ever starts working again mate.

I realise there's the speed thing, but seriously, drop them. BT's customer service is so much better.

Quite old pics from what I remember, always fascinating to see though.

I think they've finished that pyramid hotel now... at last.

I want one!

Would still like to see a small electric/nitro motor from an RC car driving it though...

You can watch the live stream of the oil leak? Now that's reality TV

Is RSRBR actually easy to install this time? As last time it was a bitch and there were no instructions...

Do you mean expensive in terms of tuition fees? Don't worry about them, they're largely insignificant as you won't pay them up front and when you pay them back you won't notice.

Very sad news indeed. As a mate of mine posted on his FB page, "When you raise the horns, remember who its for." :headbang:

Essentially what you're asking how to do is destroy the handling on one of the best handling cars in existence because you can't be arsed to save up?

I traded this in ages ago and now I want it back... Were the police chases any good, I can't remember?
