Hmm, I don't seem to be attracting anyone else so I'll talk to you on MSN about it.

I had a good crash earlier today, I'll post it in a minute.

EDIT: Autosave wasn't on so I haven't got it

1. When you apply the brakes, your car pitches forward. When it pitches forward, more weight is on the front of your car. Would that cause your front tires to not grip as well, therefore causing understeer?

[...]

No, AFAIK more weight = more grip. I think this becomes a negative effect at some time but I know putting more weight over wheels that are braking will give them more grip (a good technique in karting is to push yourself back into the seat when braking)

Umm, I posted how to a couple of posts before yours

I have a dog and two rabbits. My dog is a mix of about five different types of dog. He's nearly 6 years old and he's called Merlin. He used to be mad when he was younger but he's calmed down now, I wonder if it was the running full-pelt into the backdoor that made him calm down a bit...

One rabbit is a dwarf lop-ear I think. He's pretty friendly unless you go in his space (his hutch) or pick him up. The other is a nice and calm bunny, I'm not sure what type he is.

No problem, as long as you play LFS at least once every six months I'm not gonna kick you out

Still no-one else has been attracted. I guess I should lower the limit again. Maybe I can help some of the newbies get up to speed (heh, pun) with racing

EDIT: Lowered to 5000

By using SHIFT+U...

Hint: Place a start point somewhere on that bit and restart the race

That's one of my favourite songs at the moment and it's really easy to play.

Woo, I have a team mate

We're still recruiting by the way, I know two is a lot of members but I'm still looking to expand

And its too late, it's a pointless spam thread already. Oops, I guess I've just contributed again, what a shame

Stupid spammers

I would say don't get involved with a league yet, you're new to LFS and you're bound to make some mistakes while driving which could mean big consequences if it happens in a league. Stick to public racing until you get to something like 5000 miles then start to consider leagues.

(This is my opinion, you don't have to follow it )

I'm usually pretty smooth if I've got a well-balanced car. Give me some oversteer or understeer and that all goes out the window and I usually end up with the flailing arms of doom

I've been told that I'm a very defensive driver in real life, for example I kept a guy behind me who had about 8-10hp more than me (this is in a kart btw) on a pretty fast track for about 3 laps without even knowing he was there

How did you guess that?

My serious 3 favourite cars would be:

Aston Martin DB9
Ferrari F430
Koenigsegg CCX or CCR, the newer one which tried the kill the stig

I've lowered the limit. I thought 15k was a bit too much considering I've only done 16k miles. That means you're in

Now, are you any good at skins?

P.S. add me on msn - [email protected] and I'll send the 2 skins over

n+1) Do a skydive.

I'm going to do one this summer, and collect for a cancer research charity as part of it. It's a personal goal I've had for a while, and even more so after events this weekend.

Other things to inspire you all:
* Travel as fast as you can - my land-based speed record is 182mph (indicated, not actual)
* Visit as many countries as you can - 21 so far, 22 after next month
* Drive from the UK to Portugal in 24 hours. In a Sprinter van
* Ride the Isle of Man circuit
* Go up the CN Tower (tallest building in the world)
* Learn to Ski and Snowboard
* Go-karting on ice

What did you do the 182mph in? And why on earth did you drive to Portugal in a van?

- A career mode. You can have your career with an f1, GTR, or other class race team. You can make money, climb up the rankings, basically do things that other racers do in real life. Of course, this entire mode would be online multiplayer to add to the realism of the mode. (note: for this mode to work, there would need to be more tracks. See #2)

I haven't read all of this thread but I have made something similar to this using insim. I'm just waiting on Franky500 to check it out and approve it before putting it on a server.

Quote from ZORER :

Cool.I wish you a nice trip.Have you been here before?


33 -) Learn to shift from 3rd to 4th without using clutch in a 93' Toyota Corolla 1.6

Yeah, I went last Easter. We're going to the same place, even the same hotel There was a lot of 'summer-only' things we didn't get to do, like searching for wild dolphins, so that's why we're going back this year. It's a very nice country and the people tend to be nice too (even if the shopkeepers try to take advantage of the tourists )

34) Go on a random road-trip, just start driving and see where you end up.

Aston Martin DB9
Aston Martin DBRS9
Aston Martin DBR9

@ZORER - If we do make the trip it'll be a 2-day thing. We've got 2 weeks over there and there's lots we want to do so we might end up not going. We're going to Pamukkale though since its not as far.

30) Learn to drive

24) Withdraw Yorkshire from the United Kingdom, develop a large clone army in secret laboratories, then invade Norway.

Yorkshire FTW!

Quote from ZORER :

27- Ride to south in summer time without planning what to do and when to come back.(on motorbike:nod. And maybe stop by cappadocia and have a look.

Kinda off-topic: I'm going to Turkey in the summer and I'm staying near Antalya, is Cappadocia too far away to drive? (It doesn't look too far on a map but I'm not sure about it)

28) Take part in a 24 hour race

16) Travel to some really awesome places like Cappadocia in Turkey or Machu Picchu in Peru.

For some reason my brain is shouting at me "Chav!"

Seriously, if you like it then don't listen to what other people say. Just because some people don't like doing cars up like that doesn't mean you can't

Heh, I just noticed that I've only just covered the 15,000 miles requirement (~16,000) so I guess its a little high.

@S14 DRIFT - You seemed to be doing pretty well last night on the STCC server according to LFSWorld so I think the answer is yes. Just one question though, why the big gap between your last night of racing before last night's (14th Jan to 22nd Feb)?

@Danowat - Thanks.

Thanks
