All this talk about the price of petrol is depressing, besides I'm one of the two percent of Americans who drive a diesel

Ughh, I remember being in Sweden on business (beautiful country and people BTW) and I drove a Ford Fiesta and paid somewhere around $7/gallon equivalent at the time. Thank goodness I could charge the company. Also thank goodness I knew how to drive a manual.

BTW we should be comparing notes on the price of a lap dances around the world

I take a different philosophical approach to the price of software and in these terms LFS is a complete bargain.

Consider... one S2 license =

- one tank of regular gasoline (in the US, worse in ROW)
- one night at the movies for the family
- five days of fast food lunches
- a shirt or two (depending on how fancy...)
- a couple decent haircuts
- two lap dances...

You get the idea

Quote from Bob Smith :I will continue this project on my own if the joint venture with myself and Colcob does not begin again in a few months.

This is great to hear, the setup analyzer really helped with my MRT setups. Outstanding setup guide on your website BTW

Perhaps old news, but the http://www.optimumg.com/news_archives.htm website has great tech tip articles on springs and dampers. Some clear explanations and straightforward math.

I hated the MRT pre U patch. It felt like the rear end was always going to break loose no matter what - at least to my coarse hands.

Post U patch and ironically the MRT is my favorite. I love the immediacy of response that the MRT gives. Economy of line and motion makes the MRT most effective. IMO, after a session driving the MRT, the other cars feel "dull" in comparison (FO8 and BF1 withstanding).

I am having trouble getting my head wrapped around the setup of the MRT though. One would think it was rather straightforward, but I can't find that sweet spot of balance, and then if I do the car feels underdamped, i.e. it wallows/porpoises over bumps. I tried following the advice in the unofficial manual, but I find that stiffer springs and bars work better for me.

I wish more servers would be running the MRT...
