thanks guys......

Wow, just noticed Itchy is folding like crazy!!  Nice - he'll overtake me in just 1.2 years!

:byebye::byebye::byebye:

Thanks for noticing the points - I I've just been letting it chug along

Ant - you must have me confused with someone else

Hey Jamin, sorry to be a stranger.

I do miss the action on the track but it's been a tough couple of years ..... I myself am well, but my younger brother spent the last year living with me fighting a losing battle with cancer.  Driving in circles just hasn't seemed to matter like it used to.  But life goes on ...... and recently I've been getting the urge to get back on the track again!

So hope to see you guys in my rear-view soon.

Sorry I won't be able to participate with my fellow dMr mates ..... it has been a while since I've been able to get on the servers at decent British hours.  Real life is just too much in the way these past months .... can only get time to get a hotlap on the standings now and then just to motivate some of ya :devil: and then see if I can catch ya sometimes :dribble:

Hope to be able to return to some head-to-head races before S3 comes out

yeah it was cool (and scary) to be on a crowded server again  Still more than a half second off my FXO best from 3 1/2 years ago .... must have been a really good tail wind back then.  But I noticed I'm not alone in declining bests - not to mention any names :norty:

Seany was real polite today - apologizing for stuff he didn't do , hehe :flirty:

Yeah - not nearly so much fun with the smaller grids these days, but so much of LFS is suffering from the lack of S3.

But it is still fun for me - I'll keep driving LFS no matter what ......

dMr has been my only racing for a long time now and can't imagine needing anything more for me - every week a new combo to play with and fun blokes to race with!!

So , I like Sean's idea of keeping on popular combo an extra week or trying to guess at good combos.

Maybe do 1 car for 4 weeks - but different track each week ?? Maybe a mixed race - 2 or more comparable cars??

Anyway, lets see who survives an hour with the BF1 this time :woot2:

I'll try to be less of a stranger on the forum too

Might even have to try to get TS to work :norty:

Yeah, was a fun combo for me so I spent a few hours late at night running up practice laps.

Thanks for the 'grats

Too bad about Dee's disco but good to see Detz again !

Responsibilities have made it harder for me to get on most afternoons and with my boys out of the house away at college I think I've had a bad case of "empty nest syndrome" amplified by missing my better half even more these days.  So I haven't been feeling real sociable.  But I'm hoping to come out of my cave more often

Congrats guys

And welcome to the Hall of Fame DuVel :yahoo:

Been a bit AWOL myself so no worries ....

Penfold - I don't see any changes to the badges atm - DuVel could use the 1 million badge - except he's got the Moderator badge (like me).

I'm going to go thru the folders list in the next couple days and see who's been playing hookie long enough to be stripped of their badge :norty:

Yeah - great addition Old Bloke

Coming out of a 2 year retirement  .......

Got that AGP card cranking good.

Keep it up :thumb:

Quite a few folks folding with that dinosaur :flirty:

Here's a recent thread about what kind of ppd to expect and how to get the most out of it .....

As for your PS3 - I feel your pain :sad:

The link below suggests several solutions for the turbo sound  ...... but the best seems to be to return it to Sony (if it's still under warranty).  Apparently some of them were made in China with defective fans.......

Glad to have ya folding

Cheers guys

Been keeping the sails trimmed and the rudder true :showoff:

btw Pen - there was a period there right after you made 2 mil that you would have beaten me to 3 million .......... but not now :narnar:

Keeping up a steady pace mate  :Folded:

Yeah - that sucks spud, but at least ya learned :norty:

Yeah Sean, that pack of 4 for half an hour was the best fun.  Tight pack did lead to a few chain reaction bumps.....but none I saw had any real effect.

My big mistake(s) was not learning (and not learning again) ......  During the first 35 minutes I had tapped the wall exiting the middle chicane onto the left sweeper - just going wide.  Two taps was enough to impair my right front susp severely limiting my left turns.  Sad part is that same thing had happened in a previous hour race .... I knew how easy it was to disable your car with minor taps here.  So pitted and repaired damage.  Within a few laps I hit the same spot 2 more times and had to pit repair again and this time got a drive-thru penalty :doh:

Exited the pits a few secs behind Deetz (who had lapped me then).  Found I was gaining on him ...... setting the race fast lap.  Had to slow down for a few laps .... didn't want to perturb the leader :flirty: then gave the fast lap another couple shots but couldn't pull it off.  Somebody slowed to a crawl to let Deetz by safely with just a couple minutes left .... allowing me a chance to possibly catch him and not end up in last place.  Fun finish but Somebody managed to hold me off ....

I know I've said it before - I really need to work on my race-craft!!  Just can't make the same mistakes over and over.  Fast lap and last place .......

But it was a fun race all the way ..... training the first 30 minutes, followed by open field hotlapping, and closed with a challenging pursuit to the finish

Not far to the million mark now  :thumb:
