A few "funny" pics...pretty colour bruises on my wifeys foot!
(Would be funnier if I didn't have to play at slaves for a month! :really

Does anybody else get that horrible feeling that after the relative success of Beijing, London 2012 is going to go down in history as:

Quote from deggis :

It's not fuking youtube that removes the videos. Everytime some copyright holder makes DMCA notification they have to remove the video. If they wouldn't do that, youtube would have been shut down long time ago. With F1 vids it's for example FOM that says remove them, I dunno if it's the tv channels or Olympic Committee or something with these olympic vids.

I must say the removing is pretty quick, I just 2 mins ago saw a vid that worked, and actually posted the link here just to notice it was already gone

You beat me..I was going to quote "Heres one that works" and write.."No it doesnt"!

Quote from Stefani24 :

Why do fuking youtube always remove videos related to olympia?

Cos NBC paid megabucks for teh rights, and they dont want anybody to have clips for free....

Quote from Shotglass :

other than that the rules say clearly that you have to turn 16 during the year of the olympics to be able to compete in gymnastics?

I know the rules say that, but honestly, whats the difference?
Or maybe falling of a beam 1 metre off the floor is more dangerous than falling off a 10 metre diving platform? (not that I feel like trying either!)

Quote from Nobo :

Today is kindergarten time

What gets me is teh Americans COMPLAINING that the Chinese had an under-age kid (14 yr old??) in the gymnastics, yet 14 yr old Tom Daley isn't too young??
If a 14 yr old is allowed to compete in diving, why not a 14 yr old in gymnastics...could somebody please tell me the difference, cos I'll be damned if I can see it! (Apart from the obvious..one lands in wet stuff and the other lands on spongy stuff!)

LOL that is so OLD!!!! Been around for ages..I think there was already a post on this years ago

Quote from BAMBO :

Damn it, I need another 1000 dollars, could the company borrow me some cash trough a wage? (I already borrowed money from the bank)

Borrow more through the bank! You can take out a maximum $1000 loan EVERY DAY..(but you have to pay it back! )

Quote from robt :

stop taking the easy route and work for your money you lazy trucker!
BTW: big tip, buy new tyres!!! improves your truck condition 15% gives you about 10mph and 0.5-1.5mpg straight out the box for $3000

Bobt100 178 tonnes - $555 - 6,118 miles - 1.02(rating)
Bladerunner 806 tonnes - $5,988 - 22,860miles - 5.59(rating)

Cheeky git!

One thing is certain...2 minutes after release there will be a plethora of demo-users whining that THEY cant access it and that it isnt fair that all the licensed users can have it and they cant..
Imagine it:

"First they tooked teh XRT now they wont let us has teh Scirocco; Whinge Whinge"

In any case, my vote is "When it's ready"

Well...give me enuff pennies to buy a decent truck then!
Got to wait until TOMORROW before I can take out ANOTHER loan to let me get a Volvo
Flogged my old Ken, took out a loan, and thought I had enough for the Volvo..but there was no company discount, so I got to pay full price
Back on the road tomorrow morning I hope...after 6.00 a.m. our time when I can get more pennies

Yep, definitely "ROFL-Worthy"

10 right and 4 wrong of the ones I "Thought" I knew, but I wish to dispute the trick question at #28.. I put "101 Dalmatians"...not bloody "101"!!!!!

Was there EVER any doubt that I wouldn't get #43 right??

Sitting through Deathproof (Which, btw, I did enjoy!) is worth it to watch teh epic "BAD movie that is so bad it's f***ing brilliant!" which is Planet Terror!

Bolt using something???
Judging by the way hae accelerated away from the rest, I reckon he must have Type R shorts, Neonz on his trainers, and Nawzzz in his vest!

(Either that or he trained by running away from the Brixton Constabulary with a TV set under his arm )
Bring on the Manc Olympics! (Hurdling over garden fences - TWOCCING - etc etc)

Quote from mrodgers :

May I ask how you guys are getting such high rates per mile over in Europe? Is it based on your driver's rating? Or is Europe the place to be for the rates?

The best I can do is about $0.71 per mile.

After going back and forth between the 89 Volvo and waiting for the 93 W900 Kenworth, I went and got the Volvo. I didn't think it would be worth it, even though everyone has been recommending it. I thought the specs were just so little more over what I had that it was worth waiting. But after "random failure" just about every trip knocking off at least $100 from every payout, I went for the Volvo.

I now have $11 to my name and $3000 in loans, LOL.

I'd join ya in the company, but you are in Europe and I figure I'll probably forget about the site by next week anyways (to answer your PM, Bladey)

Search around Mike, there are some high paying jobs in the US, but not as many as Europe...you got much LONGER trips than we have

If you are short of cash you can always join us... and get even shorter!!
I sold up and took out a $4000 loan to fly over and buy a new truck in Europe..now only got about $300 left to pay back...in under 4 days!!
another few days will see me being able to invest in better gear which will mean I'll make more profit....(soon have a new magnum )
Dont forget, you can be a company member even if you are in the states, just wont be able to take advantage of the contracts (when we get them!) AFAIK you still get the 'preferred cargo' bonuses though, as well as discount on fuel and repairs!

Quote from J@tko :

Wheels? I think :S

What's funny about wire wheels on an MG?? Never seen an MGBGT?
(OK, I _KNOW_ the ZR isn't anything like an MGBGT, but it still carries the MG badge!)

Dont get it...

Quote from JJ72 :

the official TDU websites has not been updated for years, the last update was a small icon for the megapack. if you want to access the TDU forum, search for atari europe.

Remember all the goodies and stuff they promised us on the website? Never happened!
But DON'T go and mention that on the Atari Europe website, or Big "K" will ban you!

Quote from mrodgers :

With experience, you do not need to see where exactly that corner is or where the apex is, that's the point. You should know where it is and you should know exactly where your car is in relation without needing to see. In my real car, I can not see either front or rear bumper. But when my wife pulls behind and parks in the driveway (what do you guys call that?) and I have to wiggle my car out from between the garage door and her car, I back up within half an inch of her car and pull up within half an inch of the garage door to wiggle it out. I don't need to see exactly where my bumper is, because I know exactly where it is from the relationship of my view sitting in the driver's seat.

Drive your real vehicle over towards the side of the road and put your tires directly on the edge. You should be able to easily do that without needing someone hanging out the window directing you or moving your side mirror down to see the tires of your car. You can do this because you know the car and have the dimensional relationship of the car within your mind with experience of driving said car. Same with sim racing and cornering the apex. There's no need to be looking at the apex and your wheel's positioning on it.

There is one VERY IMPORTANT thing you have forgotten there Mike...although I agree 100% with you about the ability to know where you are and the distance to your bumpers etc in your drive....LFS is represented in 2D on a screen, not in real 3D with full depth perception (No matter HOW good your GFX card is ) that happens in real life.
Try a little experiment (but dont blame me when your wife smashes a pan over your head for denting her car or the garage )
Try manoevering your car from the same situation WEARING AN EYEPATCH..so that you can only see out of one eye..

"See" what I mean?

PS, For the record...I use a slightly modified cockpit view..a bit closer to the windscreen and a bit more central so that I have a clearer view past the dorpost.

Quote from Stefani24 :

I think it isnt legal to send it to you if I'd have it.

It is if he BUYS it from iTunes or something - then they can send it to him legally.
After all, he wouldn't be asking for any 'naughty' stuff on the forum, would he?
