just read this, if you go to the nurburgring, then visit the museum. they have set up a bmw z4, with a projection screen in front, and you use the pedals to work it, and steer it with the wheel. unfortunatly, its automatic transmission, but my god its comfy.
ill see if i can dig up a pic

i got far too drunk, slept for aabout 30 hours straight and woke up fine...but missing a full day.

hope its a good year to all, and hope its a good year for lfs.

screw car racing(j/k) get into a 15-20 lap race round cadwell here in england. now thats demanding, and there is a section, the mountain, when if you take it properly on a decently powered bike,race 600 or so, then you leave the floor completly. almost right after the crest is a right hander, that you have to start turning for before the top of the hill, so your in the air, at an angle, going fairly quick.

competative real life racers do have fear, they also have an understanding of the consiquences. they accept them, and know their own limits. extensive testing and practice, experiance and a trust in the mechanics that the meachine is in the best possible condition for the circumstances they are in.

thats what i think defines the 2 groups.

i left foot brake, cause its what im used to. i dont have a car lisence, only bike, and the only real driving ive done is karting, and lessons.

my brother has a car lisence, and his left foot does nothing on my pedels, he uses his right foot for everything. i think it looks funny

well, with my bike racing, i have actually thought about it, thanks to that top gear show, and i figured out that, at least part of it, is that i have total faith in my vehicle. the tyres will stick, i will get the lean angle, the brakes will work etc... im not thinking...what if the rear slides, what if the brakes lock, nothing like that

i think thats part of it, as well as pure confidence in your own ability.
alot of racers, car and bike, that ive met are confident in their own lifes, some to a cocky stage.

stereotypes are the greatest form of comedy in the world.

all englishmen have screwed teeth, drink tea and say 'cheerio'

all americans are fat

all italians are flamboyant fatties that are either pizzia chefs, or mobsters

all africans live in huts and own a golf club like assembly of spears

all jappanese people take pictures of everything and have every single technological advancment known to man....in their pocket in a easy to carry bundle.

see, stereotypes are just jokes in my opinion, lol

i could go on and on about these, blondes, gays, jewish, german, french etc.
i too hate net talk and text talk, all the l8r's and u r a tw@ and all that, very anoying

me...well im just a bad speller, but i do try

well... seeing as i wont be around tommorow, or for a few days after that...if things go well(lol) then im making this post, saying a slightly early, but still heart felt happy new year

hope everyone starts it off on the right(or left) foot and continues that way.

HAPPY NEW YEAR LFS!!!

ive had lfs since....well just about a year, give or take, and ive unlocked it once when i got s1, once when i moved up from the demo and once when i dl'd it on my mums pc.

to be fair, if you get caught out, its your fault.
like speed cameras.

anyway, im off to watch monty python

happy new year

foriegn beggars anyone??

i spread myself far to wide to list everything...led zeplin, common, arman van helden(sp?) nat king cole, franky blue eyes(sinatra) etc, i listen to what i like, and if i dont like it, i dont listen, but there is only a few types of music that i would say are crap. apart from those, i just let people get on with what they like, as chances are, they prob think some of my musical tastes are a bit dodgy.

vmax...meh, im not too keen on em, but i am a sports bike rider...to which i purchased a HCR big bore top radiator for my bike...yay, and im looking at a guy who is selling a set of forks, yolks, clipons and grips for 180 pounds. the forks have been re valved and sprung to suit a 12.5 stone person, and im 13 at the mo. all done by maxton too.
also got myself a performance bikes 2006 calender. apart fromt hat, nothing, im trying to save money for some custom fit leathers from crowtree, but ill need about 800 pound for those.

here is mine
vfr400 nc30, hrc tuned engine and flatside carbs. i got the bike with the engine in the state it in, so i was very lucky.
also got a maxton rear shock and rebuilt from forks, new internals etc.

on topic, this would be very cool, as it could be like the ring on weekdays and weekends. you get spawned in the car park, and leave from there.

off topic, if you get a chance to drive/ride the ring, then do it. it scares the shit out of you, because of its reputation, and a well deserved one at that. if you see a porsche, get out of the way, they usually know what they are doing. pass on the left, and let others pass on the left. and if anyone fancies doing it next year, im going, so pm me

not cars, but bikes. i did only a few rounds in the supersport BEMSEE thing last year, but money is a real problem. tyres, rebuilds, traveling etc.

do track days aswell, but anyone with leathers, a bike and a licence can do that.
all on one of 2 vfr400's

i finish work on the 23rd, so thats when christmas starts, so until then....bah-humbug

2 is silverstone, but i cant really make out the others, 8 i can see, but dont know it...well from that view, lol.

thats alright, i figured out that when im pushing it really hard on my bike or lfs, i stick my tounge slightly out the side of my mouth, dog with its head out the window style

indeed, and its about time i start getting some respect for it, lol.

i meant the ones who have lives and such, as opposed to us, who live eat and breath footba, i mean peps, i mean lfs, yea, lfs

sounded like a good time was had by all, and if i didnt blow all my money on my bike, i prob would have popped along. tis nice to see the 'ordinary' public getting into lfs, and hopefully we can get more competative racers, as we can never have enough.

also, if you wanna get to know more of the community, may i suggest checking out one of the 'groups' of the community, be it a team, GURU or CRC, and many leagues allow you to get to know racers better.
have fun all you noobs, lol.

v4

hmm, i like fox on westhill, and ive been really gettinto fox at bl1 lately. also i made a 'personal touch' race of champions autocross track, for 2 people only, and thats good fun in the fxo

but i hate most fe tracks, those curbs get me every time

you have no clue rob, ha ha ha. its a big surprise

ha ha ha, all i wanted was a quick hand, and i get a 20 post thread, lol

dammit, i wish i knew about that, oh well, tis done now

will, u got mail....well a pm

well, i need someone to pick, at random, number, which in turn represent people in this cup. so that its totally random, and not fixed

i would be careful if you get a camera on jezza, as on a site ive seen, they point a camera at him, and a convo goes like this
blokes=bl
jezza=jc

bl = go on, say turbo-nutters.co.uk kick ass
jc = ok, turbonutters, all the guys and girls at turbonutters.co.uk...your all gay, every last one of ya.
bl = cool

funny, cause there all ass', but its not a def that you like it or find it funny
