    Ya know, I typed that in first because that's what I thought it would be,
    but then thought Microsoft would want to move from 3?? to 4?? so as to not
    confuse the proles too much.

    OI! Don;t exclude the skiers. And don't be so limited. Why not go the
    whole hog and call it the 1080, like my skis[1]?

    [1] Salomon 1080 Foil. Fucking brilliant, they are.

    Could do it. Could.

    I fired up TT Superbikes at the weekend, for the first time in months,
    and a quick one-lap race on a 7R scored me a lap around the 20 minute
    marker. Pretty weak, but not exactly modern machinery.

    I'll give it another go this evening with a sporty 600...

  5. S'funny,

    360 & PGR3/4, I'm fekin' terrible on the *Nordschleife*, no matter what
    car/bike I pick.

    But in real life I'm shaving a few seconds a lap off every visit the place -
    which is nice.

    Next visit I'll have some toyo 888's which are the current weapon of choice
    for track days.

    W00t !

    As long as you're not ordering books from amazon.fr . .

    http://tf1.lci.fr/infos/economie/entreprises/0,,3649517,00-prix-livre-amazon-passe-caisse-.html

    amazon.fr has been ordered to stop offering free deliveries on their books,
    as it constitutes 'unfair competition'.

    Arse.

    I've been in a Civic Type-R shod with these. It rained. Pray it doesn't
    rain when you visit - or drop below about 10c ambient hehe!

    No (or was this ring-adventure of yours pure PS/2?)

    Loads of times, as it happens. 1080s are a doddle. 1440s are my normal
    limit - after that the dizziness gets too much.

    All firmly on the snow, mind, but you didn't say it had to be airborn,
    did you?

    Driving game? Get Live For Speed (PC). Doesn't require a monster set
    up, but you should try it with a wheel. The best driving game I've
    played, bar none.

    I've crashed there IRL and on the PS2.

    I preferred the PS2 version.

    Lovely machine, didn't get the fate it deserved in my opinion. I tried
    plugging it in my 42" TV a while ago however and it's a poor match.Still,
    the minute I find my light guns again we're in business. Meanwhile I'll try
    playing Soul Calibur with a fishing rod again :-D

    Playing Tekken with a Playstation pistol as a controller was always good
    for a laugh when I shared a house with a mate.
