I'd rather be worried being kidnapped by some thugs than being killed by terrorists while traveling abroad.

Don't travel thought, but that's mainly because lack of funds than being afraid.

wth, I got paris hilton? I thought more of Britney spears.. Paris hilton is not even a singer!

She is, or at least tried to be.

Isn't there some nasty car limit on that track?

It's a great combo, but was just wondering if everyone can race as we were almost full last time.

I have the Syncmaster 2493 HM (different shade of black, I don't know?), which is similar to the one on the first post I think. I've been happy with it. The only thing I don't like are the touch buttons which are not illuminated and you can't really see nor feel them.

An ambulance with no hazards on overtook me in blind bend on a double yellow.

Your mum must be living in a parallel universe. Because if it had been on this weekend, every single news bit over here had been full of how Finland is going to win this year and how they didn't.

Or, I've successfully lived a weekend in a total isolation on the internet.

Loving it

I can see why.


:yummy:

My connection just died before the feature race. Didn't have internet before morning.

Yes.

Nice.

The first time on that jump on RBR was awesome. "Caution jump, yeah yeah - oh cock..." Landing on the corner.

*gough* Scawen is a BMW driver.


Or at least used to be.

Actually that is just a cunning way to park so that nobody can hit your car and scratch the paint with their door!

Work of a true genious.

Nice concept to lure in lots of engine manufacturers but let me guess, it can't be seen on TV anywhere but Japan.

Quote from Jakg :

On the way to work I can fill up at any of the petrol stations I mentioned - If "performance" petrol gives me the same or better MPG than i'm getting now - why not use it? Even if it's got no benefit for performance or the car, saving maybe 1p per mile all adds up - plus the expensive stuff usually gives better rewards (i.e. Shell give me double the points which all adds up).

What I said can also be turned upside down, it's no use finding out if the cheaper petrol gives you poorer performance and just stick with the more performancely you like.

Quote from Jakg :

The whole point is that expensive petrol MAY cost less in the long run - that's what i'm finding out.

The difference and possible advantage is probably so tiny it's not even worth finding out.

Personally I think 36,1 MPG (7,8 liter/100km) isn't that bad for an old engine from 1992.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Honestly, if you're whinging about the fuel costs, how it's hard to afford etc, just stick with the cheap and cheerful fuel.. :doh:

Naah, Jack is obsessed with his mileage like a geek is on maximizing performance on his computer. It will get too complicated quickly.

Just concentrate on your driving, leave out the "the occasional crazy bits" you mentioned, unnecessary overtaking, stopping for lights and slow granny accelerations from stand still.

Wii, especially with Wii Fit, is worth a lot more than PSP. I'd go with the Wii just because it's more expensive.

I think the main problem is still that HD is just starting up in European countries. In US HD has gone a long way already, they make most of their content in HD from news to TV series so they have something to broadcast.

But, not really a good businessman this Bernie. I'm sure he could make a sponsor deal with some home electronics manufacturer and a TV network to promote HD. Most people have TVs ready for it, and if you have cable you probably can already receive HD with an external receiver. What a better way to promote HD than F1 in Europe. I'd sure pay for it, well, if I had access to cable TV.

Does Eurosport have a HD channel?

If we closed our schools and didn't go to work every time there was snow we'd still be in the 18 hundreds.

Get some proper tires you excuse searching lazy bastards.

Ah, well, my mistake relying on wiki over some vague memory I had...again.

Well, might be a death strike for IRC if they start running WRC with S2000 cars, which I hope they don't. IRC is rather fun to watch. They even have (or should have) Safari on the calendar, don't know what kind of sandy adventure version they do, but it's still Safari!! Mosley said drivers and the conditions make the excitement, well, IRC at least has some of the condition bits right at the moment. It just seems he would like to run series with minimal expenses and best profits, which I don't blame him for, but standard S2000 cars, come on. Kitted S2000 is still quite a lot less than the current WRC cars at the moment.

edit. ^ Ah, have they brought night stages back for this season? Missed 2008 quite well.

I think IQ and believing in something doesn't really correlate in being stupid.

To not question what you believe and not being a bit skeptical every now and then is stupidity in my books. Relaying solely on Santa, Eastern Bunny and Gods to provide the ultimate and the only truth while denying anything else is just childish.

Can't really see the point of FIA running two S2000 rally series, WRC and IRC. Doesn't make sense to me if they wan't to make a large International series with plenty of cars and then run two smaller ones. If they deside to run S2000 in WRC I hope they bring back night stages like they do in IRC, or just merge them.

Well, I hope you got a house with proper pluming this time.

A duck's quack has no echo, and no-body really knows why.

You actually believe stuff like that?

All cows go Moo. That's a known fact.

No, cows say MUU and sheeps go PÄÄ you imbecile.
