I was referring to the pull my finger part... "out" doesn't change that really.

EDIT:
perhaps this is not a universal joke regarding poots?

Nah, its a figure of speech meaning to stop being lazy and start doing work.

Ah! I never heard it as that! Just the joke about pooting.

Pull your finger/thumb out of your ass is something you say when someone should get on with something. Don't know how mr audi could have missed the "pull my finger"-fart-joke-thing though ^^

Oh yes!! I've heard the expression with "thumb" and "ass"!!
(Never finger though! lol)

@ Coreyb
Sometime in the next couple of days you will recieve:
Spider 66 from VCRC
Fairlady 68 from jackargent
(If you haven't already added jackargent to your friends list, sent him a FR.)
Also, I'm assuming I'm penciling you in for the Wednesdays Series...

[watermelon punch]

bit late getting into the lounge but getting in now for testing if anyone's interested 👍

 

[aceboy127]

I just checked and I do have all the cars.

 

[Coreyb]

I have a cosmo but it has weight reduction on it so I will need that one too, unless I find it first.

 

[Coreyb]

Yes, pencil me in for wednesday series at 3pm

 

[GranTurismo916]

Sorry Melon, but I'm going to have to scratch this race. :/

 

[watermelon punch]

I've posted the revised Car Assignment List in the OP, based on our testing session today. 👍

Thank you to Audiman2011, MarkB75, jackargent, doodlemonoply, & Coreyb for helping test the cars to make sure the assignments make sense.👍

Based on testing, I think it's going to make for some pretty exciting close racing and various factors coming into play with each race.

 

[Coreyb]

I was going to comeback after I left but I got caught up outside.

 

[AngryEater]

Hey, I'd like to participate for all three Saturday events. I have all requisite autos in unmodified form. May I post my color choices, er should they all be the same for recognition ?

 

[watermelon punch]

Angryeater whoo-hoo Welcome aboard!

Post away with car colours... I haven't gotten around to the "Fleet colour Section" of the sign up yet.
I'm going with a whole *green with pink or red wheels* for the whole fleet myself.
By the looks in practice, I believe jackargent has done his whole fleet in uniform matching raspberry red pearl.
And I expect GTSail290 to have all cars in WR Blue Mica - because I think he paints all his cars that colour as long as I've known him.

But Audiman2011 has a veritable rainbow represented in his fleet. Tan, red, and even purple ... if I recall all the fancy paint chip names correctly that is.

Some people like to leave them the factory colours.

So whatever you want is fine.

But speaking of which... Audiman2011 likes the Italian paint chips.
As it happens, he just posted that his Alfa Speciale (possibly my very favourite car in the game - it's so beautiful) is painted Azzuro (which is Italian for "blue" I believe)... but it's also a song by Paolo Conte! (Italian singer/musician.)
I found out about Paolo Conte because one of my French pen pals sent one of his songs to me on a "mixed tape" back in the late 80s or very early 90s... And I've now had it stuck in my head singing it to myself since I was reminded. ha ha
The song I'm thinking of is called "Epoca". (And it really blew me away back then!)



Yes, perhaps it's no accident I've included two Alfa Romeos in this series.

I was going to comeback after I left but I got caught up outside.

I well understand the lure of the out of doors.

 

[Dano20]

I will probably do this so I will pm you what cars I need

 

[watermelon punch]

You can post what cars you need on the thread. 👍
We'll get you fixed up with them.
I'm assuming you're down for Saturday? Or Wednesday?
(Of course you can be put down for both if you like.)

 

[Dano20]

Both but I'm not sure if I will make it

 

[watermelon punch]

going to be in the lounge now practicing for a bit.
anyone welcome to join.

 

[jackargent]

coreyb_26 accept my FR & I'll send you a fairlady

 

[jackargent]

By the looks in practice, I believe jackargent has done his whole fleet in uniform matching raspberry red pearl.

... I wouldn't be too sure:idea:

 

[watermelon punch]

@ Dano20 & Coreyb
Report on your car acquisition status.

Both but I'm not sure if I will make it

I'm penciling you in for them all then, and you can see how it works out as the time comes. 👍

... I wouldn't be too sure:idea:

[Dano20]
