Awesome. Reminds me of my favorite Metallica song Orion. :bowdown:

How did I miss this, how? Cliff Burton's only song, am I right? I was pretty pissed at the world when I was a teenager so Metallica loomed large. That is until my cool friends heard the black fricking album and they ruined it for me. I spent every penny I had on cd's. I mean commercial made, AIFF, AAD cd's :lol: Not your current 100 records a DVD kinda thing. Went from heavy metal to trash to blues to soul to jazz and back. I can clearly remember what record I was listening when crucial things in my life happened. And once I got my hands on a record I listened to it for one or two weeks straight, from beginning to end. Not an order of importance at all but if I had to point innocent byreaders into musical bliss I would probably say:

Hendrix, Zeppelin, Deep purple. In all cases skip later records or bizarre reunion shows, specially purple.
The Cult, that is until "Sonic Temple".
Morphine, oh for those with a taste for melancholy and despair.
B.B King, Buddy Guy, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters.
Wilson Picket, Aretha Franklin, Sam and Dave. And The Blues Brothers. That is an all star band like no other. Go for the two live records with Belushi on vocals.
Pearl Jam (Vedder and I agree on oh so many topics), Nirvana, Temple of the dog (I'm going hungry is one of my favorites drunk singing screams :lol: and I surely don't mind stealing bread from the mouth of decadence :mischievous:) Soundgarden. Anyone barbecuing a Barbie on a video has my vote. "Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness", no headphones and a nice pair of real wood speakers if you please.
Tom Petty, I was obsesively listening to "Wildflowers" when my dad had a stroke and my sisters and I still cherish the record. Anything produced by Rick Rubin will get my immediate attention. That guy knows how to make a record.
Coltrane. Miles Davis (Do yourselves a favor and get a copy of "Kind of Blue" please). Sonny Rollings. Bill Evans. Monk.
Let the lady sing: Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee.

Any additional information about any of this just ask dudes.
 
Almost got a pic with her, but chickened out. :(

Travelling home on Monday.

Definitely coming back to Sebring in the future. :bowdown:

How do I get a flag to appear below my pic and name of to the side of the post ?

Also search 'the apples killing' on you tube it's a cool tune/song 👍 can't stick it up on the thread in work.

  • Tarmac between white lines , White line and Blue and White rumble strips are legal track. No other surfaces are track.
Need a little help as to what is clean or not, inregards to above I've made up a basic pic to help me explain.
track limits.jpg What I am unsure about is at what point the tire crossing the line is illegal.
This is meant to represent the inside of a right turn where the 2 inside tires (right hand side) are across the line (off track) assume the rear left does the same as the front left circled red. If I still have a bit of the tire on top of the line but the rest is over the line is it legal or not. My belief up to now was that no part of the tire was to go over the line.

If any part of 2 tires is on legal track surface, the lap is legal. I would suggest doing your best to NOT push that to the absolute limit, and in turn make it difficult for your lap to be verified.

The way you have drawn the above, I'd be pretty worried about the rear tire staying on, but understand that's just a drawing. :)
 
Thanks @EDK Yep it's

just a drawing.
That I done in 2mins during lunch a child could do better :lol: wasn't even sure what I wrote in a rush was making sense. I normally try to be very clean, it been a year and no DQ's, after last weeks TT 118 though (and now D1B) i think i might try to push the limit a little ;) but not to much
 
I am still struggling to properly set up my new G29 wheel for GT6. The feedback feels minimal, almost absent.
I set it up to 'simulation' but feel no difference with the other choices.
There shouldn't be a difference because the G29 is a roundgoer wheel, and that setting is for 200 degree wheels.

Are you guys changing your wheels and stuff for the realism, speed or just upgrading 'cuz the wheel is too old?
Some of those microswitches do not last 10000 depressions. Lucky for me, Gran Turismo has allowed multiple input devices simultaneously for one player for over a decade. But I did upgrade at a time where I was still going places wrt. my speed, so no good data.

So I put the previous wheel with the PS2, both are barely in average condition but dissimilarly.
 
Hello anyone I know who's still here. :embarrassed: Nice to see WRS still running. I didn't do one event yet in GT6 but with a new GT on the horizon it might be nice to have a couple of runs.
I remember ya. Welcome back, it'll be fun to do the jump to GTS. :scared::) We *did* notice you ran the qualifiers but didn't run any events. :P
