lol I was thinking more along the lines of a catfish--it's got them bottom-feeder lips. :icon23:
I've read that the spinning internals of a motorbike's engine will help keep it upright at low speeds, so keeping the revs up and slipping the clutch (with rear brake if needed) is how to go about creeping. 
As for bicycles, trackstanding is not difficult--especially with a fixie.

Well, here's my simple suggestion: they change it from "RA / RAC" to "RaceAbout 2002 / RAC". The BMW has a date; the MRT does too, in a way.
Hell, how about giving the made up cars made up (or not made up!) model years?

Mudflaps are just bad aero/hydro and extra weight and do nothing useful in an offroad rally setting. They may be able to keep the exterior "pretty" (sponsors happy?) and maybe save a spectator's eye under a few circumstances on pavement, but...
I'm against flaps in real life (especially flexible ones!) in a racing context, so I'm obviously going to be against them in LFS...

No harm intended but...:
You technichally channot sphell...
That's what I said; it's usually (there are of course exceptions) coated to match the rest of the car's gloss.
It's rare that you can actually feel the texture of the weave--and I imagine it's more vulnerable to sun damage that way.
Doesn't CF usually have a full-gloss finish, anyway? either way, the problem with CF is really the hologram effect... I digress, this feature would be impossible to implement as long as LFS uses jpegs for skins.
5 litres is small? 
edit: even weirder, I just noticed I'm an "American" saying that to someone with a mini cooper in his avatar...
Well, my sentiment remains, any new car will be great; new car threads are just public daydreaming... as for the option to switch engines around...

I think some brands look better on certain cars, but why not. Not really a big deal IMO...
I saw you write "effect" (as in gender) instead of "affect" a couple days ago--yet I held my peace.
Right, and until now, it was an explanation as to why a vote was cancelled (or why you couldn't exit the pits). Wait, can you now exit the pits while someone's connecting?
Either way, is too much information really a problem?
Oh, yeah. I can't believe I forgot about that. (It's been a while!)
Well now, cars are skinnable anyway, and you can still change their colors. I just happen to be anti-skin--for fidelity reasons (I can't abide anything lower than 2048²), and I don't like white! Actually, I usually use black in an effort to hide the crappy "plain" skins with their fake shadowry.
Helmet/roll cage color
The ability to adjust the color of helmets and roll cages (without using skins, of course) just as you can with car exteriors.
BTCC wings are useless "decoration," too. Foul looking, at that.
I agree with Tristan--eventually, naturally.
Nevertheless, not a bad suggestion.

Why ever not? 
Pit lane speed limit bug
Sorry if this has been found and mentioned before, but:
If you start a practice or qual (i.e. from pits) and get on the gas right away in a faster car, with the limiter off, you can break the speed limit with no penalty--even upon reentering the pit lane--the speed limit is effectively removed for the remainder of the session.
I've been able to reproduce this in the last few versions, on any track, but it only happens if you accelerate past the speed limit in the first couple seconds of play (most of the cars aren't even fast enough).
This only works in practice/qual.

Every kind of car. 
Where's that "in before the lock" .gif when you need it...

These replies should be insightful. I will add one more thing: watch some of the world's fastest hotlap replays (found on lfsworld.net -> S2 hotlaps -> hotlap charts) and tell me if those cars look like they are on ice. 
Won't make any difference. Waste of coding.
