Blimey

I hadn't seen or spoken to Shaun for many years, but it's still very sad to read.

RIP Fordie.

Dano! Great seeing you around! Adaptive Racing ftw Oh the good old days...

Great days indeed my friend, I will get behind the wheel at somepoint soon

No one I know uses helium!, there are some strange additives in cycle racing, helium isn't one of them!

As for training, yes, I do ride training wheels, but only because I don't want to ruin my expensive racing tubs, but I do about 95% of my training on my race bike, because specificity and adaption in position is much more important than having more resitance, if I want more resistance I just go faster

Quote from Vain :

How about a Road Sport Nostalgia Cup?

Nice to see you around still.

Vain

You too mate

Think I need to drag that FZ5 out of retirement, lots of cobwebs on it!!!!

Think I've still got a G27 somewhere in the loft..............

Hmmmm..........haven't played LFS in what?.....5 years?, I don't have a gaming PC anymore, I wonder if my desktop at home can run it.........

I see some of the "big names" are still around

Quote from Bean0 :

It is pretty unoptimised at the moment, or was when I last tried.
I got pretty bad fps on Q6600 + 5770, but was playable with eye candy turned down.

Cheers mate, probably struggle on my system, might have to wait for a demo before I plonk any money down on it

Can anyone point me in the direct of some recommended PC specs for this?, their site is a nightmare to navigate......

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

I offically love Rivals mode, doing the Laguna Seca one in the Mustang Boss and I've made over 500,000 credits in just a half dozen laps. All the target times I'm getting now are 1:50's with 150,000 bounty, I can do a 1:49 on a good lap.

My gamertag is Mess is Law, just incase someone beats my time and wants to rub it in.

+1

Muscle cars are top class entertainment in FM4

Quote from R34GTR :

I would add you, but your list is full!

I've just culled a load

Quote from R34GTR :

Just did a lap in the Mustang at Laguna Rival event, the person who is now my rival (but not on my friends list)...

danowat32 what are the chances!

What are the chances indeed

Rivals mode is SERIOUSLY addictive, have been having some epic back and forth battles with many people

Quote from FPVaaron :

Any human being with any grasp on the size of the universe would be very simple minded to believe there is no life outside of earth.

Or religous.....

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

It's pretty good, though it has some rough edges.

(****ing boss fights in a stealth FPS in 2011???)

I'm about halfway through Hong Kong right now and loving it in general, though I did almost quit after Barrett killed me for the 80th time in a row.

It's certain a game that gives you a "blast from the past" feeling, although, like you I felt the inclusion of "bosses" was very, very strange, Barrett wasn't too difficult to beat, but it was a very odd change of pace for the game.

I've put quite a few hours in so far, and I don't reckon I am even half way through, but enjoying it alot so far.

Good news this, could even be tempted to rig my G25 up again, although I wonder how my poor old PC is going to cope.........

There are region free copies (xbox360) on ebay, if you don't mind paying £45+..........

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

I read a study about bikes not too long ago, the upshot was unless you enter high ranks of cycling (Olympic hopeful), expensive bikes are a waste as you'll never get anywhere faster or gain any benefits health wise. The study actually had a slower average time for the expensive bike but it was only a few seconds attributed to one journey on the cheap bike being much faster than normal due to light traffic and without that trip they would have been a few thousands of a second in it.

You just look like a cock in Lycra with too much disposable income. And if you don't have insurance on it (which few do for road use, only when it is stored at home), if you get taken out by an even bigger cock in a white van you end up with nothing but a handful of carbon fibre confetti.

Yup, the law of diminishing returns, everyone who cycles knows that bike A isn't going to turn you into Bradley Wiggins, but bike A sure looks nice, and makes you feel good riding it, so thats all that matters

As for looking like a cock in lycra, meh, who cares, I certainly don't!!!, hopefully fuel prices will continue to rise, and said white van will no longer be a viable form of transport and the roads (and world) will be a much nicer place

As for disposable income, hell yeah, I am saving between £150-£200 a month on fuel, and that saving is only ever going to increase as fuel continues to rise.

Ordered my new summer toy today, made all the more affordable (justifable!) by the ever increasing rise in fuel costs

I cycle 90% of the time now, what on earth does that make the size of my penis

"nuff props" for the "sick ride" comment

Daylight MOT?

Trouble is, these are the sort of MOT stations that put dangerous and un-roadworthy cars on the road, but hey, who gives a **** about other road users hey?

Unstoppable was ok, but I just got a little sneaky feeling it was a litte but "trainspotter" geeky.

Watched Let Me In, and for a hollywood remake (read ripofff ), it was actually a very worthy remake that remained fairly true to the original, and hopefully opened the story up to a whole new audience.

I assume there is a cockpit view?

Quote from EmilO :

If you re-run a championship will you get another price car?

No

Hmmm...are you 100% sure on this?, I was certain you couldn't play NTSC games on a PAL 360 console.......
