As simple as the idea is, the arrow for exiting pits really is a great little feature. Even experienced LFSer's can join a server and suddenly question themselves over whether the track was standard or reveresed, only to then look like a fool and turn out of garage the wrong way (yes we have all done it at some point :P). So a welcome improvement indeed.

yh totally agree, im pretty good at doing that as the ufbr guys know lol.

ive had a little run of z13 and have found nothing wrong so far, will keep testing

well done scawen, no matter what people say about time since last update, youve had alot of things on your plate and youve done well

pots(potentiometer) are as you say a veriable resister na dim alot of aplications dont use the 3rd wire. as for volume controls, it depends, some use pots some rheostats, but to my knowledge its more likely a pot. i cant go any deeper than that, ill let sme a bit cleverer than me take it further lol

another one. did a bit of photoshop work, cropped the image and cloned out the rear of a kart from the bottom left corner

edit: i got some good ones but im a bit disapointed i didnt get the ones of em trying to turn each others engines off lol

not really a picture but 3 letter OGC

lol

rofl s14

lol yh the dash is very nice, and lfs is very acurate, thats what comes of eric + coperation(sp) from vw

nice little test drive review, looking at the pics im starting to like the scriocco as a car(regardless of lfs) even more

same fun in lfs is nothing about being quick and everything about good racing, to me anyway

damn you jack lol, am looking to get one of these

only one car is my dream car, a pontiac gto 1969 judge soft top, although a nice sting ray ram air is a very close second, failing that some sort of american muscle car( old one that is) especiially is its something like the barry white super muscle cars

lol

i have seen basicly everything on that list happen but tbh if you use your brain slightly it should always be cheaper and even easier to do it yourself. take our land rover discovery for example, you can buy a tray of 6 oil filters for something like £15 bearing in mond rover v8 oil filters are huge, you buy a 20-25 litre drum of oil (6.7litres of oil in a 3.9) and you dont even need to jack it up to drain the oil. i once raced a mate of my dads saying that i could do an oil change on the disco in less time than it too him to fignt through the trafic to get to the local ford dealer to have his feista serviced, i won

community work instead of equations= good community work + eqations(what seems like the most likly) = not so good

cant be asked to argue this anymore, am off to cyprus for a week to relax

Quote from gezmoor :

So.... you think it's a bad idea to teach our kids the concept of social responsibility and the consequences of potential bad behaviour?

Well, pretty much proves how much it's needed then doesn't it ??

If you don't agree with these types of schemes please pray tell what YOU would do to try and instill a sense of community good will in the kids of today, that is all to obviously missing from a very large proportion of them???

People are very quick to dismiss such things but then never put up any (let alone viable) alternatives in my experience.

the thing is what really is 50 hours gonna do to people. not much especcially the ones that need it, and its a typical goverment scheme. ok i was a bit quick of the mark with that comment, although i still feel that the level of true democracy is declining heavily in this country

well i use opera and dont know of a spell checking utility, but my argument was not about using spell checking it was about spelling itself and that combined with bad typing due to having a bad hand eye coirdination

Quote from Shotglass :

maybe if his idea of making kids stay in school had already been implemented your spelling would be good enough to not make a non native speaker feel like ripping your head off

my spelling has f**k all to do with schooling, and everything to do with being aspergic, i think someone should think before they act, YOU

i do not apreciate being called a school dropout or whatever, goign through what i have in order to stay in school i find your comments plainly offencive

well ok he isnt calling it volantary, you got me there, but as you say your self they are basicly handing out a punishment for not doing anything and thats how it would seem calling it compulsary comunity service, it would have been a much better idea to have called it something like compulsary work in the comunity or something like that. i wou;ld have thought that would have been obvious being a polotition, cos there used to dressing simething up under a differant name

edit: lol 5haz, he does seem to like doing that, but then again maybe hes looking for the fact that the people who do actually vote are going to think its a good idea

its not the hours or anything that is really being moaned anbout, yh its better than doing national service for sure, although in some ways its debatable, but its the dictator nature of calling 50 hours of mandatory work volentry, it shows just how stupid our pm is. also on the subject of national service, that would do more good for the country than 50 hours community service. and if its help with charities that is really needed why dont they consider being a bit more strict with community service orders and dish out a bit more of it than they do now

edit: at doughie yh ok its not huge spread like that but they will do one of 2 things either add that 1 hour a day for 10 weeks to the school day or will make you do it in one stint, 10 hours a day for a working week.

but i think the point here is not the time its more the principle of it

ive always said the uk government is slowing turing into a multi person dictatorship of sorts, and this proves it

i dont care, i would rather have a system that allows you to play online and has a few feature but is free than some fancy system that you have to bloody subscribe too

agree with magot, ps3 online doesnt suck on the pure basis you dont have to pay a stupid subscription to use it

what the **** that says it all really, it shouldnt matter which error or how many read lights, its gone wrong and its under warrenty, end of

with the warrenty it depends on the company, some do it from when you bought the original some from when you got the replacement but being microsoft i suspect it probably is from when you bought the first one.

all these probablem the xbox has is the reason i bought a ps3 lol

as for the xbox live, have a moan to microsoft especcially if it is still in warranty and you maybe be lucky and get a free subscription for a while

couldnt resist posting this one i just found

they are trying to use all these cameras and stuff to try and replace the traffic cop and it doesnt work, a traffic cop has descresion and has the ability to deal with a wide range of matters, but these camera do not, they are dumb devices recording things things that will be view by more dumb devices( the people sitting there looking at it all) with no knowledge of the context in which the event they are looking at happened
