priceless.

Not quite that simple...

Quote from tristancliffe :

Don't you find it amazing that a mere circle has a number as odd as pi at it's root! Why 3.14159... Why not 3. Or 17.

If I didn't have a brain I'd think it was divine intervention, it's that astounding.

For some reason I think it's funny that the square root of 10 isn't pi (& vice versa). I think that would make the world make a lot more sense. Just don't ask why...

3.16227766...

Quote from Gil07 :

Portuguese is also pronounced as it's written IMO.

Raoul Duke: You're not Portuguese, man!



...when it's written português?

I miss kidcodea.

I do believe some people are forgetting that the RB4 and FXR can be made RWD. :magnify:

Quote from R3DMAN :

the fact it redlines at 7k but the rev counter goes to 13k

What? It redlines at 13000, where the limiter kicks in. The real (unadulterated) R6 engine redlined at 15500.

The MRT5 is intake-restricted. It's not going to hurt the engine to spin faster, though, so why should the redline be lower?

Quote from STROBE :

Not wanting to rock the boat here, but...


...it's all just metal, components, and fastenings. Yes, they are (or were) beautiful cars and it's a shame to see them in such a state. But with enough money or skill, it can all be replaced or recreated. It's not worth getting sad over.

Unlike human flesh, blood, and brains. That's what's really irreplaceable.

For all fleſh is as graſſe, and all the glory of man as the flowre of graſſe: the graſſe withereth, and the flowre thereof falleth away. But the automobile endureth for euer: & this is the automobile which by the link is reuealed vnto you.

then look at this video i came across (imagine a carver skin for outside views, just concentrate on the inside view)
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6002341789030613722

that would be so mental, and in real life, the carver is driven with a steering wheel

...well theres no harm in dreaming, lol

Quack!!

---edit---

arrgh, beaten by Kegetys :ices_rofl

One of those almost hit me the other day (head on) and I nearly shat myself.

Wait—I think he meant gear grinding sounds! :magnify:

Quote from xaotik :

In a fit of outdated internet humor I'd say Chuck Norris. But on hindsight, the speedo is probably looking at him.

In Russia, speedometer reads you!

Quote from JTbo :

Begging answered

hahah! thanks so much

...why didn't I think of that?

btw (on-topic) Finland has always sounded like a wonderful place and I would love to visit sometime. I have always thought the colder, the darker, the wetter the better. Yes, it is ironic that I live in SoCal...

Who actually looks at the speedo while racing (aside from in the pits)?

Quote from Lible :

Nope, Raeikkonen does not equal to Räikkonen in Finnish/Estonian, altough it's similar.

Ah, all right. Thanks.

Do you know if this was always the case? i.e. in the 14th-16th centuries? do you know why? or did y'all steal umlauts from another language without realizing what they were?

(begging for a history lesson)

Quote from Doorman :

Doesn't that only work in Word?

It should work anywhere you can type. I've had problems with some IM apps, though.

ßèéüöä (a few I've memorized out of necessity)

...but apparently it doesn't work for you UK'ers?

Quote from duke_toaster :

There isn't a way of adding ä on an en-UK keyboard without character map.

I use ALT+0228.

Quote from Albieg :

I'll spell it Raikkonen, but it's not an error, it's just an approximation due to keyboard limits and a bit of lazyness.

Why not just write "Raeikkoenen"? An umlaut is, after all, just a kind of gothic ligature designed to save paper (for this reason, english sometimes used a consonant line over the vowel (e.g. "innocēt hāds" instead of "innocent hands") when the complete words would not fit on the line).

...but if they're some kind of modern diæreses, disregard this post.
