Berty, I'll send you spurgy's gifts (I wish I would have bump drafted, but flood meister just wasnt having any of that nonsense.)

 

[Ellis]

Ah Flood can be a good boy if he chooses to be. And yes Bret I did put a full stop then. Happy?

 

[berty1979]

Ok good form Rich, ill get them to him, at least you stayed connected!
Flood is a changed man, he has turned over a new tree.

I despise mini mod's they really do squeeze my tit's. Especially the ones that say "use the search button" and don't put a ruddy link. GAWD. If your gonna do a job do it properly

There are threads devoted to complaining about mini mods. Instead of posting about it off topic in here, use the search button and find the correct place to post your complaints.

 

[Ellis]

There is a mistake in that sentence. Second sentence, 5Th word. Technically incorrect. To Bret by the way.

Schwartz38- There is so much irony in that last comment it is beyond belief Good mini mod's put links

You have two sentence fragments in that last post.

Ahahahhaaa, book him Danno!

Lemons Bret, lemons.

Remember

 

[berty1979]

Le Mons? Or actual lemons?

 

[Ellis]

Lemons the acidic citrus fruit.

 

[berty1979]

Is destruction a form of creativity?
Or an expression of emotion?
Or maybe a vulgar display of power over inanimates?
Or maybe all three.

 

[Ellis]

Think we scared him off ruddy commenting on grammatical errors that did not exist

 

[berty1979]

I thought he was quite cool (picking on you not me)

 

[Ellis]

If somebody came up to me and started saying things like that to me at school I would deeply consider locking them in the bell tower and not letting them out.

 

[SkateNj]

Why not just a nice slap? I hate grammar nazi's.

 

[berty1979]

You practising for TM mate, its 1 hell of a tough course after spec 2.0

Im gonna start my first practice tomorrow. Going to try to get 2 hours inhopefully.

 

[berty1979]

K cool man, it sounds wierd but my times started to improve when I eased off a little. Remember quite a few of us have a practise on fridays if you want to test with some traffic k.

 

[Rich S]

Just out of curiosity, what times are you getting & whats your pace Berty? Hard to break a minute more than once for me. Smithaz wasn't doing much better. We were lapping at 1:01 in our races. With 1:00 being a hot lap.

The Ferrari F1s are a good 5 secs/lap quicker here me think.

 

[berty1979]

My best lap being reasonably careful is 1.02.xxx with my best being 1.01.xxx, not great but I am not as comfortable as pre 2.0. I am happy with that and know I can improve in the first sector, I also think I can improve my diff settings too.
I may take an F1 around TM next week to test your theory, it would make sense at a track like TM with it being reasonably low speed with tricky, bumpy corners.
Looking forward to the race and praying I dont get taken out this time 👍

I figured it couldnt possibly be much quicker then that. I wish I could figure out a way to stop the sliding. It seems if you go too slow you crash & if you go too fast you crash & if you simply anger the trial mountain gods you crash.

 

[berty1979]

The track is learnable but if Monza is primary TM is degree level, one momentary loss of concentration and your going to get a barrier (or rock) sandwich. I am going to concentrate on improving my pace and see where the race takes me, I could definatley get a podium here but that depends on certain things going my way like quali and not getting shunted.
We should re name the track Mount Doom.


Note to Reserve drivers- Please try and obtain an Orange FGT so you can go into McLaren and help Musolino out.

Yea its really hard for me to concentrate with a controller when i raced with my wheel i was so concentrated i didnt even know 25 laps have gone by! Thats partially why i improves so much.

 

[berty1979]

Skate- By that statement I hope your getting better with the DS3, still no word on the G27?

All- I am thinking about starting another series to run on a different day or after the FGTC, I would like some help testing the cars. Maybe we could have a race with them after practice tomorrow (830pm gmt).
I will get a poll up soon to see who would be interested from here. It would be much less complicated than the FGTC and less laps.

 

[SkateNj]

Depends what type of cars? TANK CARS!!!

 

[berty1979]

nope.
Obviously PP restrictions should be established first but I got 2 catergories I am interested in.

90's Touring cars.
Opel Calibra
Vauxhall Calibra
Alfa Romeo 155
Mercedes 190 E
Maybe the BMW M3 race car if its comparable.

Classic racing cars
Ferrari P4
Chapparel 2D
Ford GT40
Ford mk4 rc
Jaguar xj13 rc
Alfa Romeo Tz2
Chevrolet Corvette rc
Honda s800 rc ( i think this will be too slow)

No idea what to set pp to until I can get on the PS3.

 

[Rich S]

I like the classic race car thing, never raced those before.

The only 2 I have are the GT40 & Jaguar xj13 though.

 

[berty1979]

Maybe we can run a race sometime using these cars, ill make a note which cars people have and we will have to decide a fair pp and make sure they perform to similar standards.
Surprised you dont have the Ferrari as its a prize car.

Lol i have all the cars 90s and classic

Anyway... I FINALLY FOUND THE SCREWS!!! Gonna get some plans up them drill away tomorrow morning.

 

[berty1979]
