I think F1 just lost what little credibility it had left. :-/

Lmao! Excellent!
I'm struggling to find where I said they shouldn't be included.
I just remembered another photo I took, some time after the karting had finished. It wasn't taken with my usual camera, as my phone was the only thing I had with me. However, please admire... Ben's throne!
Having watched the replay, I think you might find it useful to try braking for the corners.
Nothing to do with the setup. You're just entering way too fast, applying way too much lock in an effort to get it to turn, and torturing the tyres in the process.
All time favourite: Sasha - Xpander.
Obviously, it sounds shit on youtube. But the CD or vinyl version through my floorstanders makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck as it rolls around the soundscape. This youtube clip is also slightly curtailed. The full length version I have is over 11 minutes long.
Other favourite, which also happens to be a progressive, long, haunting epic tune is Stage One - Space Manoeuvres (unfortunately the youtube clip appears to be taken from a mix cd, so it doesn't have the appropriate buildup)

You want to buy a GTR that's been shagged and abused by the press, rather than a mint one clean off the production line?
Have to agree with Becky that the lack of gear lever is no big deal. I think the GTR is mighty impressive, as long as you know it's not a "pure driver's car". Never has been, never will be, isn't trying to be. But it does seem to be devastatingly quick, and easy to drive fast.
Looks good in black, too.
Maybe once chassis flex is modelled in LFS, then classic muscle will become more worthwhile. 
I can see the appeal of it though, and don't understand what the issue is over the crap handling. As long as everyone's muscle car handles equally craply, then it's all good.
I'm sure it'd come as a complete culture shock to race huge old barges like this, compared to the lightweight, relatively nimble cars we have now, but it'd be terrific fun.
Unfortunately I expect that any dream of racing muscle cars will remain just that - a dream. We already have a challenging set of cars in the LRF, and the only thing the community uses them for on public pick-up servers is drifting.
With LFS's drift-friendly tyres, I suspect that any muscle car would also only see widespread use for drifting, despite all the talk in this thread of racing them.

I can sympathise exactly with how many people are feeling that have posted in this topic so far. I've gone through "bored" phases of LFS two or three times, the current one being the longest.
But last night I got back into racing, and LFS still had the magic - even driving a car I don't like (XFG) around a track I don't like (SO5). Its just that, as has been discussed to death in the past, it needs the occasional injection of new or updated content to keep things feeling fresh and appealing. However, the practical solution is to accept that there will be phases of being bored of LFS, and do something in the meantime until you feel like getting back into LFS again.

Oh c'mon, James has a point. So he found a fiver - wow! Five whole pounds! - and just has to come rushing to the forum to tell everyone about it?
Sure, the answer is not to open the thread, but with a title such as "Just found a fiver", you can't help yourself whilst thinking, "surely dear to god nobody actually feels the need to share the fact they found a fiver? It can't really be about that, can it?"
What next? Posting a topic about borrowing a keyboard from work? Oh, wait...
Somehow I think that if we all started posting such banal, irrelevant aspects of our daily life, then lfsforum.net really would be defined in the OED as "noun; (i) the official message board of Live For Speed, an online racing simulator; (ii) bebo for car enthusiasts, where members revel in exchanging poor quality messages lacking in value or worthiness."
Then again, maybe it's half way there already.
Shall I post about what I had for breakfast, or how my back left tyre has a slow puncture, or what I did on my day off work yesterday?Nope, thought not.

Exactly. When the shit hits the fan and our financial markets are in disarray, people go back to precious metals for wealth.
And our dipshit government sold off half of Britain's gold reserves right when the gold market was bottoming out, too.
Seconded. CityLink are a shining beacon of delivery excellence compared to the shower of inbred useless bastards that run and drive for HDNL.
I now also refuse to order anything from Amazon that doesn't fir through my letter box by Royal Mail, because otherwise my chances of receiving it in a timely fashion are slim to nil.
The Demo/S1/S2 switch has been removed, yes. The idea is to integrate the different communities on the track. Your friends' demo server will automatically show up amongst the lists of S2 servers.
I disagree with hiding the licence status - I don't think it has anything to do with whether it says "Demo" or "S1" or "S2".
It has a lot more to do with what lies an inch or two to the right - the quality of the post itself.
Some demoers take a lot of flak because of the crap that they post.
Some S2ers take a lot of flak because of the crap that they post.
Some demoers are rude, abusive, and promote illegal use of the game outside the EULA.

Waffling on about discrimination and inequality sounds like a liberal lefty excuse for pretending that we're all equal. We're not - some of us have bought the product, some haven't. That doesn't give any of us the right to not be civil to each other, but respect is a two way thing. Those that show respect and appreciation for what we have here (i.e. the LFS community) will naturally receive it. Those who don't, won't.
So whilst some licenced users may attack demoers, and some demoers may post utter shite, the problem is with those users, not the licence display system.

I would put a large wager on the answer being, "no". Historicaly the devs have released the CMX viewer a few days before the LFS patch itself, no earlier.
Yep, although I'm afraid it's nothing new - it's been known from the start of S2 that some car models weren't finalised. You can tell by looking at the likes of the RB4 and UF1 that they're not modelled to the same standard as the recent cars - there's some very low poly surfaces and awkward bends in panels where there would ideally be smooth curves, etc.
In a word, no.
LFS is already doing just grand in terms of attracting illiterate 12 year olds dat carnt spel and spray spam everywhere like an elephant sprays shit after a vindaloo. It doesn't need any encouragement from the hellhole that is Bebo.
What were you expecting to happen? the computers to blow up?
Besides, if the devs did post about it, nobody would be able to find it amongst all your spam.

I hate things like that. Is there really a need for them? Even the Focus S-Max thingy comes with an automatic handbrake as standard. How frikkin hard is it to operate a handbrake? Same goes for lights and wipers. If you can't remember to turn your lights on, you shouldn't be on the road in the first place.
Is it not normal to finish the washing up before climbing onto the bench to pose for pictures?
Wasn't by the dad of any chav ricers here, was it?
