What the hell is going on in this thread? What has this got to do with Tyre Physics?

All I'm picking up is sarcastic remarks about America, blowing up Africa and some silly songs.

One thing I want to do before I die is go and see the Aurora Borealis somewhere north.

Quote from danthebangerboy :Just saw this from one of my friends on facebook, so obscured to keep identities safe of course.

And the moral of the story??

Don't slag off or whinge about your mum and forget that she is on your friendlist!

Ouch. Big big ouch.

Quote from Bose321 :Why are my cards inferior? Just because ATi does not want to support Physx?

ATi cards - don't want to, or can't?

Quote from Bose321 :Okay, that does looks better, but no reason to spoil it with physx, it can be done, better, faster and nicer with engines likes havok, so why physx? Commercial nvidia crap?

So you just got proven wrong, and now you want to be proven wrong again?

If you love GTA4 then.. go play that. Don't spam this thread with your trolling.

You're awfy depressing Bose, you're negative about many things. If you don't like it, fine. You just don't need to keep posting it, on and on and on...

And Bose, it could be worse. It could be this game

Quote from Bose321 :people answering cellphones

They had cellphones then?

And yeah, this game is for fun, not for simulation.

Thats why I still play Toca Race Driver 3, Driv3r. For fun. Not because I want to be gobsmacked by how realistic it is when I smack someone down at 60mph.

I think they're stretching the good name of Colin McRae. Time they changed it, it's not got much to do with the man, may he R.I.P.

Anyways, even if it isn't a good sim, I'd still buy it. Wait, no, I'm skint. Ah well, demo for me

Quote from Klutch :oh noes! call the interwebz police! someone said something offensive on the internet!

someone should really put a stop to all this cyber bullying

Seriously, just f**k off. I'm sick of logging on and finding you bitching about people, then going on the offensive as soon as they reply to it. I bet you'll go apesh1t over this. Go away.

EDIT: My role model is probably Bradley Wiggins or Ayrton Senna.

Rest in peace Jaguar.

Wars are shit, but they do create some fantastic machinery, and some horrible too.

JIMP

Okay, Jets like the Jaguar have an exception. They come before the technically advanced era where these planes can practically fly themselves and the pilot is there 'just in case.'

Wouldn't care if a Messerschmitt (obv. wouldn't be a Spitfire) got shot down in my back garden, it'd look so good up in the sky.

Modern Jets are dull. But I must say its funny watching drivers crap themselves then almost crash when they do low fly-bys

I don't see why you can't just go onto Twitter :/

Sorry though, not helpful, but I have no idea. Only one that posts your tweets.

Quote from AstroBoy :Im more in awe at the couch cycling experts.
Just a reminder that its "A gentlemens code" to not attack when a rival has a problem nothing is written in the rules. And had Andy of had Sanchez in his group no one would really care cause he would still be in yellow.

I know what I'm talking about as I go out and race on a real bike in real life too. Its how it works, and if you want to trick yourself into this "Gentlemens Code" rubbish then feel free, but it doesn't exist. Maybe just not with who you race.

Good point Zeug - Its a good reason now, but before it was still annoying. It's a fractured left elbow.

Thats how it is in cycling. If your rival has a problem, don't give them a chance to get back, you make the most of an opportunity. This situation is transferable to many other things, and a few examples have been posted already. It's hardly a controversy.

The thing I don't like about modern cycling is the team radio. Its better when riders don't know if the breakaway is 15 minutes ahead with 2km left, or that they're being reeled in, 30 seconds round the next bend, 40km from the start. I'd really like to see a tour with no radios one year, but I doubt that'll happen. Sure, there are day stages, but most riders huffed IIRC.

But its still the hardest race out there, one of the hardest sports, and thats why I love it so. If I'm lucky, look out for me in there in a few years. Its my dream goal.


Quote from HVS5b :As they mentioned on the coverage, riders can choose to use a chain guard (extra 50g or so) to prevent such issues but AS did not. You can therefore argue it was a calculated gamble which did not pay off, unluckily for him.

But the thing is, that weight gets multiplied as it spins (or so I believe) so it would become slightly harder per revolution of the peddles, not much, but over the stage, it could make all the difference.

Quote from HVS5b :...even without his brother...

I'm actually glad Frank crashed out, Andy had an annoying habit of waiting for him too much. Now there is no Frank, Andy is free to go, and we see that he does, now he doesn't feel compelled to look back for his brother.

Quote from HVS5b :And wtf with Renshaws DQ, bit harsh in my books (although I am no expert) but no surprise given the stewards seem to have it in for Cav.

The headbutting is acceptable, its a trait carried over from track cycling, because at that speed, if Dean were to catch Renshaw and they went down, the peloton would go charging into them at 50mph, and it would be catastrophic. All the good sprinters down and injured, because they would have been right behind, so to hold the line and avoid a major crash, thats the only way apart from shouting, but that doesn't really work, and if you think they can take their hands off the bars and push at that speed, Newtons Third Law will tell you differently.

Quote :III. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Plus, its harder to keep the speed up with one hand on the bar, the deceleration would possibly cause Renshaw to go down. So I see nothing wrong with the headbutt.

However, where the problem lies is Renshaw moving over on Farrar, ruining any chance. That was a predetermined thing, rather than reactions, so that might be why he got booted out. Still, everyone I've spoken to agrees it was overkill, and the UCI seem to have it in for Cav. We agreed that a relegation/fine would have been good enough, with a strict caution.

Quote from Eldanor :Well, Armstrong says it was a bad move

Of course he will, he HATES Contador

- - -

Also, I wish C. Evans would attack more. Maybe last year, when he was in better form, but he just sits and follows. Annoys me.

If I had the money to buy a server, or the equipment to host one, I would set up a decent server for the LXs and the RAC. They get disregarded as they can be a bit of a handful to learn, but thats just people giving in too easy. Now I can (almost) keep it in a straight line, the RAC is my favourite car. Its rewarding to learn.
