I would love to join you guys racing but it's been a sad tale so far. I found LFS about two weeks ago. Downloaded it and ran it. Looked great. I went to the storage cupboard in my office and found my old Guillemot Ferrari wheel and pedals. Bear in mind that my cat likes to sleep in there.
I hooked up the wheel and pedals. Hit the power switch to be rewarded with a blue flash, a puff of whites moke and the unmistakable smell of hot kitty pee.
After cursing the cat for half an hour I went off to do some research. Decided to order myself a nice G25 wheel/pedal set from Amazon as the nearest store with any was over 160 miles away. They were due today so I was looking forward to a fun weekend of learning tracks and cars. No sign of it by 4:00pm so I logged into UPS to see where it was. This is what greeted me;


04/17/2009 1:00 A.M. LATE TRAIN
04/17/2009 1:00 A.M. LATE TRAIN
04/17/2009 1:00 A.M. ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS
04/17/2009 1:00 A.M. NATURAL DISASTER
04/17/2009 1:00 A.M. NATURAL DISASTER

So it looks like my wheel has been held up by 2 late trains, 2 natural disasters and some nasty weather. All between Chicago and Portland. I must have missed it on the news somewhere.

Anyway, despite the forces of darkness, AKA cats, Amazon and UPS, hopefully I'll be out there racing soon. Have a good weekend everyone.
