Quote from EeekiE :

It's as if the engine is very very light or has no flywheel. It's feels to me like some paperclip crankshafted engine which has no inertia or inner friction to deal with lol.

Yup

First thing i tried with the new patch was "Shift-Lock" with the XRG.

3rd gear 6000 RPM press the clutch shift to 2nd and then just kick the clutch without to heel and toe at all.

Nada Zippo niente. The rear wheels didnt lock up at all.

Try this in real life or better not. On trackday I locked up my wheels once when i didnt get heel and toe 100% right and that was far from being as brutal as my try in LFS.

Quote from Crashgate3 :

The source engine is pretty scalable, so I think you'll be ok with that (Ti4200 is DX7 is it not? Maybe DX8), but you'll have to have the detail down a fair bit.

Thank you!

Yesss it works and its a great game

Cabergs have the coolest look yeah.

Me also wanted one but then i went to the shop and bought a black HJC CL-14. Was on 50% sale because the new model came out and its a good helmet doesnt look bad either. I would look out for this kind of deals. Might be cheaper as 100 pound. I paid 70 Euro.

Oh and i use it for auto slalom not bike...

Wouldn't it be safer to keep it in a bank ?

I dont trust banks and nobody would break in my car as it hasnt got a stereo.

Is Portal enjoyable playable with a XP2400+ / GF4ti4200 / 768 MB SDRAM kind of system ?

I really liked the flashgame but all my money is in my car ...

heck the flashgame caused 100% CPU usage at the last levels

i tried a short german rhyme

Aktiengesellschaftshauptversammlungskontingent erschien diesem Programm fremd



after loking up all my system ressources it eventually was willing to play and it was quite funny

Oh shut up!

sorry

Quote from hrtburnout :

I'm surprised by the amount of people that are able speaking Dutch on this forum!

Well, except for the Dutch people ofcourse

After we learned there are many so many english and german speaking members here who probably like to get drunk sometimes the amount theoretically must be even higher

I would move to a country where :

1. It doesnt rain like 300 days a year like here

2. My lottery win is worth at least 4 times more

Buy a castle/villa for 50 k some horses and a Jeep. Build a landing strip for my new small but fine plane.

Buy another castle and run it as a hotel so i have something to work if i feel like it.

Invest the rest.

oh the irony ...

my lovely hometown was where some of the terrorist planned 9/11

well according to the media

maybe next time just drink beer guys and skip the running game part

I would aim for something not as old and exotic as some cars you have on your list because you can be 99% sure these cars ARE $$$ black holes. I speak out of experience ... I mean you get what you pay for. Surely you need to invest a lot of money in those cars if you want to keep them in good condition

If you are not a good mechanic i would stay away from them.

You can check some things with a test drive and listening to the engine (drive chain ... hydros etc) and look for oil in the cooling water and the other way round. You still wont find small cracks in the cylinder head or see how much oil and water it might eat with this if they just did a cooling flush and did wash the engine. How the engine looks inside and how long it will last ... You can do compression test if the owner is okay with it that will tell some things but still to be really sure you would have to take the whole engine apart.

To make a long story short ... old expensive car and engine goes bang or needs maintainance ... not good

For that kind of money you could get a nice Nissan 200SX (S14) from lets say 1997-1999 with just 70.000 km on the clock !!!

Well i would have bought one myself but the downside was here in germany the insurance for this car is insanely high and parts are also not cheap because its jap.

Again thats my view because i had some bad experiences you could of course be more lucky then me ...

Quote from BlueFlame :

But AJS, your making the Danes hate Germans!, because :P i don't think you speak much Danish to you?

the danes all speak german so wheres the problem ? if not there is still english i guess

i also know some words in danish. Piskefloede being my favourite one.

I also went to one race of the Danish Touring Car Championship because Padborg Park circuit is just about 150 km from where i live and the supporting events are really good action as well. You can watch a whole day long races from all sorts of classes enter the paddock talk with the drivers and so on . and lets not forget about the Poelser

Quote from three_jump :

I couldn't care less about DTM... gets worse with every race.

+1

I just watch WTCC. its excellent

I hope i can get my BMW E30 318is ready for one of the last track days this year and then compare ... There are a few things left i have to install/fix.

My car matches the XRG. Exactly the same engine specs and weight !!

Well i removed the rear seats to make room for a bucket seat and 3 point harness plus removed the glovebox and radio and so on. It also got front and rear strutbar, msmotorsport flywheel and racing ECU.

lets say its a bit lighter and faster.

Walter Roehrl - Porsche GT3 - Nurburgring Nordschleife in Wet Conditions

On a wet track Walter Roehrl drives some lucky winners around the Nordschleife during the Bilstein Performance Days on Juli 30th, 2007. Tricky conditions demand everything from the Rallye World Champion and worn tires are not of much help.

Auf nasser Strecke chauffiert Walter Röhrl im Rahmen der Bilstein Performance Days am 30.Juli 2007 einige glückliche Mitfahrer über die Nordschleife. Die Bedingungen sind schwierig und fordern dem Rallye-Weltmeister alles ab, die abgefahrenen Reifen machen die Sache nicht leichter.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Damn, it's beautifull! The interior.. damn, i could stay there all day..

Its still the old design they are upgrading to some new designs and plattform sharing which is introduced in the new A5. Actually the current A5 already got it.

http://cars.about.com/od/audi/ ... 2008-Audi-A5-interior.htm

This is much nicer imo.

I did drive for Audi for one year and can say pretty boring cars to drive compared to BMW. Yeah and i also drove the RS4 RS6 etc well anything except R8 and on the BMW side M6 etc...

I wont drive the new RS6 so i cant comment on that one.

Maybe it will be a bit more fun to drive.

I stick with "Sheer driving pleasure"

Im still a "bit" drunk coz i was at a concert tonight but this is some weird video ... im a bit worried actually .... i mean this is krank

maybe ask me tomorrow but i doubt i will watch this again

Quote from danowat :

Think it was the first round for the Seat Leon TDI, but judging by it's performance, I would doubt it's it's last.
I think the WTCC site has some coverage, or I am sure you can get the whole races on torrent sites (racing underground I believe).
SEAT today said that the petrol engine is at the end of it's development and the diesel will take over, they also said the diesel engine has even more to come, so it's looking good for diesel's in touring car racing.

Second Round... First one was in Anderstorp.

On the WTCC site you can watch the race live but the quality isnt that good. Still i watch race 1 there because its broadcasted by this paytv eurosport channel or its just that i cant receive it where i live ...

All i can say is when you will face such a situation you will not think about theory you will just do what your guts tell you

Not so long ago i experienced some sudden unexpected oversteer with my BMW 318is.

I drove onto the Autobahn and it just started to rain. The tarmac was very slippery and different layers which had been repaired ... so old and new tarmac there. A bit downhill as well.

I was driving through the turn and suddenly lost the rear ... i was doing 80 kmh already.

I think i had almost a nice 45 degree slip angle and a vision of my car kissing the armco. Then my arms magically did rotate by themselves and i modulated the throttle a bit (i think first a bit off the gas then stepped on it just a tad).

End of story : car straight and safe ... nothing happend

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

I actively avoid buses, they are never on time, often smell of piss, I am too tall to fit on them, theres no leg room, bus drivers are arseholes, they cost too much, and walking is just better for you.

i agree plus : drug dealers and other shady people you need to take care of

i would ride my bike if it wasnt broken ...

Walking time to next bus station : 10 minutes

ride to station in the center of my district : 5 minutes

Waiting for the next bus because i need to change : 10 minutes
(because the next bus never matches for whatever reason)

ok so 25 minutes so far and i traveled maybe 3 km and not any closer to my destination

in this time i would have been at work already with my bike (8km)

now i get on the bus which takes me to my work and well there is always traffic jam so add another 20 minutes...

45 minutes bus vs 20-25 with bike and it costs me 6 euro for a day ticket or twice 2.60 euro for a one way ticket...

the underground system on the other hand is excellent and very fast !!! just it doesnt cover some areas where you have to take the busses
