Looks like and interesting and promising idea. If anyone has a spare invite I would also like to try this out.

But for the people who have already tried it, what is it like?

RUF is a company which takes the chasis of a Porsche but then builds the rest from scratch, well mostly I think.

I must say it far better looking then any standard Porsche.

I'm not that keen on any Porsche really because they just don't have anything that makes you go WOW. They don't sound impressive when going around town (unlike a Ferrari for example) and they don't look like anything differnt/special (like a lambo) and if I was going to be spending that much on a car I would want people to notice.

However that RUF is really nice. The back-end is really nice much more suitable to that type of car.

BTW I saw a Ariel Atom on the road yesterday, it's really suited to the track. It just looks so out of place on the road, especially when the guy is going down a cobbled road and his head is bouncing like a nodding dog!

Quote from Dajmin :
Oh yes, and it looks like the devs might be in a bit of trouble in the near future...

Is that with the possible texture 'stealing' from Valve and Quake?

It does seem like a very interesting game, it will certainly be a future purchase.

How does the spooky/scary feel to Doom 3? Because at some points that game was rather jumpy for me (yes I am a big girl!)

Just a small update.

I wonder how long this idea will last?

The Virgin in my town centre had 100 PS3 for first come first served customers. They opened at midnight for the rush, now they only have 95 left.....

There are 3 levels of damage simulation, maybe on the video it was only a middle setting? (i haven't watched it) But its going to be a purchase for me.

No cockpit views due to 300 cars (plus you are able to do weight reduction so you would need around 600 interiors) but with the damage staying on the track it could make racing quite interesting!

how do you actually launch this game?

Apparently the petition has gone from 250,000 signatures to over 800,000 since I first posted this.

Proposed Driving Tax

I have just recieved this, I didn't have a clue aobut this petition. Sneaky goverment!


If you drive a car, please read -



Sarah Kennedy was talking about this proposed car tax scheme on Radio 2.

Apparently there is only one month left to register your objection to

the 'Pay As You Go' road tax.



The petition is on the 10 Downing St website but they didn't tell

anybody about it. Therefore at the time of Sarah's comments only 250,000

people had signed it and 750,000 signatures are required for the

goverment to at least take any notice.



Once you've given your details (you don't have to give your full

address, just house number and postcode will do), they will send you an

email with a link in it. Once you click on that link, you'll have signed

the petition.



The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having

to purchase a tracking device for your car and paying a monthly bill to

use it. The tracking device will cost about £200 and in a recent study

by the BBC, the lowest monthly bill was £28 for a rural florist and £194

for a delivery driver. A non working mother who used the car to take the

kids to school paid £86 in one month.



On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody

will know where you are at all times. They will also know how fast you

have been going, so even if you accidentally creep over a speed limit in

time you can probably expect a Notice of Intended Prosecution with your

monthly bill.



If you are concerned about this Orwellian plan and want to stop the

constant bashing of the car driver, please sign the petition on No 10's

new website (link below) and pass this on to as many people as possible.

Sign up if you value your freedom and democratic rights -

So to conclude, who would be best to 'swap' over too?

I've been looking at Pipex and Eclipse as they have been mentioned on here, but are there any others?

I download big files so a decent usuage allowance is needed and I enjoy playing games online so a high speed is needed. I don't mind paying around the £20 - 25 mark.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanxs
Andy.

Now I wish I had started learning web-design earlier.

I've recently been looking at Dreamweaver but there are so many ways of creating a website I'm trying to find the best solution for my ideas.

I've tried using CSS in Dreamweaver and using the coding side of websites but I've also tried designing pages in Photoshop and then using Dreamweaver to alter things, which has worked quite well. My most recent effort is at www.bilielan.plus.com It's only a homepage because i'm trying different stlyes out.

Hope you find your man/woman soon!

haha, some strange ideas there!

Love the Huricane House and the Travel Relief is a rather strange idea. Finally an explanation to why people are making strange faces when I pull up next to them in the car.....

An easy but lovely option is to buy a fajita set. Slice the chicken into strips > fry it > add the mix (in the pack) add some peppers. Grate some cheese and get some cucumber and there you have chicken faitas!

Really simple to do but taste delicious!

The LFS tracks are fantastic, but I would certainly pay a small fortune for a real track like Donnington or any other for that matter!

I'm with PlusNet and are having the problems you described above hence I haven't played LFS for a while now. The problem is though i've only been with them for around 5 or 6 months and isn't it a 12 month contract? Or have they got a clause in there which means I can get out?!

Thanxs

Nicely said Biggie although I would have to disagree with the less war, crime etc. comment.

It's amazing what such a little gesture can do. A small hug takes very little time, very little effort and very little thought but for the recieving person (and for yourself) it will most probably be the most happy memory of the day and make you smile when you think about it.

A hug is such a nice thing, it's personal but you don't need to know someone to hug them. It can make you feel some much more better and leave you with a smile for the rest of the day.

If only everybody could think like this, everyone likes a hug even the most horrible people like to be hugged, i know it!

No more to add to Biggies comment! Great post!

Great Post, thanxs for the update!

Great news about Eric's house! Glad it's all starting to come together for you.

I look forward to the future updates! No rush though. Not that it would make any difference if I said hurry up!


Keep up the good work
Andy.
