Well, I can tell you its from 1947-1949, and is a GM product. If anything, it is before 1952.

I think I have found a problem. I was on Fern Bay Gold in a UF1, race started, everything is fine, then I got the "Warning traffic approching" graphic...yet I was not a lap behind, and no one within 10 seconds was behind me. It lasted for about one lap, then left. During that time, I never crashed, spun or left the track; just a normal lap.

Quote from TiJay :

- Anything else I need to understand to watch NASCAR

Understand that before Fox bought the Speed channel, it was much like Motors TV. Now it is mainly NASCAR and stupid automotive reality shows. That really burns me, as I used to be able to watch worldwide auto racing, like BTCC, WTCC, WRC and V8 Supercars.

Understand that because the SCCA were full of rich, tight assed elitists in the 1950's, road racing is virtually non existent now, whereas NASCAR actually paid the drivers to race, like in Europe. Horror of horrors!

Understand that for most part, NASCAR does not have the...elan of other racing genres. I will let you make your own conclusion on that statement. Though it appeals now to a broader audience of various social and fiscal backgrounds, rather than Southern rednecks like it used to.

Understand that you must drink Miller Lite or Bud Lite. Lots of it. Throw out your Boddingtons, Harp and Newcastle. The upside of drinking all that pisswater beer is that next day you will have some truly magnificent farts.

Maybe the lawn just needs to mowed? Looks the Fern Bay maintainance crew are slacking off again...


I know, I contributed nothing.

On one hand, I can see that a purchase of Live For Speed is pretty harmless; it is a challenging game that is non violent and appropriate for all ages, it could possibly, in theroy make someone a better driver, and the people you find online in the non demo verison are for the most part mature, helpful and friendly. Oh, and it keeps you off the streets so you dont turn into some chav driving a silly pimped out Nova. Or spray painting rude gestures on brick walls. Or both!

...On the other hand though, you are 14, menaing that what mum says is law of the house. And I am sure she looking out for your best interests, because she is thinking of your future and the way you manage money.

Have her read this post, see what she thinks!

Why cant some just let this man and his legacy fade away...why dwell on the unchangeable?

Quote from glyphon :

yup. same grade of fuel. different rating number. its not like they are running racing gas over there

Well, that is just silly. I would have thought that the octane rating would be standardized across the world.

Of course, if I were to visit to Europe, I could fool my friends back here in telling them that I was running some crap car like a Vectra with super high test 98 octane! "Dem europeeeans have some mighty strong fuel, ya hey!"

I have always like Kumho's. Alot of performance for not much money.

Must be nice to have such high octane gas in the UK. I have use 93 octane, and the highest I have seen is 94 octane at Road Rangers and Sunoco's.

Love to see what 104 octane would do for my WRX.

Quote from CSU1 :

Dont expect your community to grow at all so! If you dealt with me like that being all unquestionable and all I WOULD just sod off, and wouldnt look back either, as I'd imagine countless have already done.

Oh, the problem makers are .0001% of the total board population.

Like you!

...just taking the piss out...

Looks like a normal stock :bananadea car with a wing on it. A aluminum wing you find at Pep Boys or Halfords, maybe. :riceboy:

Quote from XCNuse :

in the midst of multiple projects.. uh.. maybe i wont get .. as .. bored

i'm also making my first car without real blueprints!
(and yes, i have done a car without any blueprints before.. but that was a concept car )

making a Sky, a subaru, the corvette and .. well.. this (another subaru):


dont mind the time and all.. i need to fix the settings for that scene, they got really messed up and now it takes forever to render and i get weird .. well you can see them

Say! That looks just like my WRX!

The moderators here are too nice! At another board I moderate, if someone questions me, I lock the thread and send them a PM telling them to sod off. Only not in such polite terms.

But seriously all of you, the moderators, do an exceptional job.

Quote from TypeRCivic :

WTF are you talking about.......Take your DUMB shit else where! Dont reply reply with some gay shit like that, dont say anything, just move on with your shit.......... ****ing Gay People.......:mad:

Yeesh...such a temper. If I was were you, I would have just typed a reply along the lines of "Yeah, yeah, yeah...get over it. Can anyone help me out? I think...NO! I KNOW I am going to make such a kick ass skin, and someone here probably has an answer. Prepare to be shocked...and awed!" A little humor goes a long way, right?

So you want to skin a car that looks like that Eclipse. Well, go for it! If you have to spend 20 hours refining, tweaking, aligning, well then whatever it takes for the naysayers to eat crow. Right? Right.

Riiiiight....

Quote from Davo :

Jak you have big lips and are very pale. You should get out more :P

HAAAHAHAHA! Got straight to the point!

As some of you know, this league was based on three car classes:

GT3 - LRF's
GT2 - UFR & XFR
GT1 - GTR's

But sadly, due to the unpopularity of the GT3 LRF class, I have changed the classes to make it more popular, with closer racing!

So, from now on, this is how the classes will be:

GT3 - UFR & XFR
GT2 - FOX
GT1 - GTR's

Yes, the FOX! Imagine this: all classes have slick tires, and the FOX is faster in a corner than a GTR, but about equal on a straightaway with the front wheel drive GTR's! It is a win win situation!

The introduction of the FOX will be in this race.

Yes. But better! And I bet anyone 10 quid if you can find the word Vauxhall anywhere on the exterior of the vehicle.

Whoops. Um, I think I was thinking of the VX220 Turbo. Yeah....

Excellent link. Thanks for putting this up.

Quote from duke_toaster :

The VX220 is based on the Elise IIRC.

Yes. But better! And I bet anyone 10 quid if you can find the word Vauxhall anywhere on the exterior of the vehicle. Plus it has the super reliable Ecotec engine.

Get it!

Hee hee. If I did buy it or any of the others, I would sell it back to Scavier for the price I paid; I just want to buy the domains so they do not get bastardized.

I bought www.blackwoodcircuit.co.uk.

If I remember, I was saying through my teeth "for ***** sake, honey..." to my wife.

Taken last summer. Nothing has changed, except I am alot paler from winter.

Quote from JTbo :

Our most common winter tire models also have studs, many other countries won't even allow those, don't know how it is in different states in US, your country is difficult as one need to learn over 50 'countries' laws to know what is legal and what not when travelling around US
Maybe you don't have such laws, also maybe winter tires are not common at all there,

Rough estimate, I would say 25% of people here in the US have winter tires. Fewer still have studded tires. You just dont need them, unless you live in the Rocky or Cascade Mountains, or if you live in Northern New York or Pennsylvania.

For the most part, tire laws vary by region. In the Midwest, where I live, studded tires are frowned upon, and are unneeded because the roads will be clear of snow in 24 hours. We get 4-5 "big" snowstorms here (if you call 8 inches of snow big) and then its all cleared away the next day.

To show you just how big the United States is, I drove from Wisconsin in January to Louisiana in one day. The temperature went from 0 C to 20 C. I go from the arctic freeze to tropics in a matter of hours, all in one country. I think only Russia and China can say the same. It is truly weird.

Well! I stand corrected.
