Hello & welcome - see you on the track (I'll be the one behind you)

[Aquilifer]

Hi Lovretta. Welcome. Spoong I know, but thanks for posting something

I do actually live in Royston Vasey (for those who've seen the TV show "League of Gentlemen") or Hadfield near Glossop in UK (for those who haven't).

:lmfao: Now I know why it sounded so familiar when I saw it in your info (the left side bar).

This is a local race, for local people.

Hem...

I may have skipped over this thread when I registered on the forum, it seems.

Better late than never, as says the guys coming to work around 11AM.

First of all I enjoy racing with you lot, great battles with dedication to win while remaining clean and friendly.

My LFS history:
Demo for years (2-3), part time, doing pretty well with XRG. Then I sneaked LFS home past the wife, registering to internet banking for this sole purpose (she owns the only house credit card and I could not ask for her to purchase LFS...) mid 2007.
Mouser from the first time in demo, I started to feel the limitations of this crude control device when I tried faster cars (mostly LX6, my head can not cope with the GTR cars speed).
So I also sneaked a G25 home (local shop while wife was traveling, I do feel ashamed each time I plug the wheel in but soon forget about it).

I am now back to slowpoke speed as I deserve, but still slowly improving.
I use no shifter as I have found no suitable way to mount it and get it stable enough (I have to store the G25 after use...) but the clutch brings a lot of immersion.

I have difficulties finding time for racing on Thursdays, but life is life...

Ventrilo:
I can listen to you on ventrilo but probably never talk
   Kids in bed when I race, too close for conversations to happen
Wife in front of telly or working when I race, see above
No suitable microphone / headphones gear for the above reasons
I still love to hear your English accent, my Swiss one would probably sound funny as well


Username, Mille Sabords:
Captain Haddock's favorite exclamation, translates strangely in English as "Blistering Barnacles".
I do read a lot of Tintin adventures to my kids and this captain is the best character (bad temper, whisky drinker, pipe smoker ), so here goes the pseudo.

Me:
Name's Fabien, I live in Switzerland by the Geneva lake, work too much and have a wife (irritated at best when I play) and 2 kids (too young to be of assistance with the former).
I am currently middle aged. This will most probably evolve.

This post is overdue and long enough at the moment, any further question feel free to ask and I may consider answering.

Thanks for the races, see you on track!

welcome fabien

see ya on track m8 :boxing:

[Romus]

Nice post. Cu on track.

[Doorman]

:g: Most prominent feature: Sneakiness. :sideways:
This is deemed a necessary because of being intimidated by wife. :angry:
Recommended course of action: Do like I do and confront said wife with: "Look here woman, if I want to spend £900 on computer driving equipment, I bloody well will! Now get back in the kitchen and prepare my dinner" :flirty:
"Oh, and easy on the poison, you nearly killed me last time"
:roflmao:
You've found a safe haven here Fabien. Welcome.

[Mille Sabords]

I appeal!
It is greediness, not sneakiness

Let me explain:

If we reach a truce and agree that I spend £100 on a "bloody stupid teenager looking computer game", then my other half feels legitimally entitled to spend £100 on a handbag, then of course matching shoes and a new lipstickandmycoatisalready2yearsoldand... while sneaking it did cost me less.
I shudder to consider how expensive a G25 would have been if I had tried the frontal approach :2cents:

[Doorman]

Appeal upheld. Case dismissed.

[Itchy]

Your financial logic shows you have grasped the true nature of monetary relationships within matrimony. I commend you on your clear thinking, and your recognition of the dangers of inadequate risk management strategies when wishing to improve your capabilities in the area of computer based simulation and entertainment.

Oh, and welcome! See you on-line.....
