The magazine, "The Life and Times of the West Brothers" was unfortunately
cancelled by their publisher on account of it being too difficult to read and
the Wests' simultaneous refusal to allow it to be produced under that name with
language aimed at a third grade reading comprehension level. As a result, the
Wests have now been blamed and ridiculed for failing to produce anything at
all.

Anyway, as the others pointed out, if you had actually read the article
(actually just the first sentence) you would have known that "[VRC was] Created
by a team of international game developers, including Tony West of West Racing"

It mentions nothing of Chris, and it doesn't say "created by West Racing."

I would be much more harsh if you didn't have the cutest baby picture I've ever
seen posted at your web site :-)

Some people believe that refusing high paying job offers (rather shocking ones
to beat) to work for yourself after refusing to compromise a previous product
when demanded by the publisher, taking all the risk yourself to make what you
set out to make in the first place instead, is "moving on" at the highest
level. I have to agree.

Precisely.

It's rather difficult to measure a hamster's "torsional neck spring rate" and
code the resulting motion dynamics, hence the hamster view delay.

The jibes are generally in good humour, I am sure Chris and Tony have been
around usenet long enough not to give a monkeys anyway. Despite my own
occasional light hearted sarcasm aimed at the Westies I genuinely hope they
succeed, if only for my own selfish desires for the best racing sim
possible. If our own working lives were quite so visible I am sure we would
all get a load of opinions on how to do it better!

I must admit to chuckling at some of the jibes :-) I especially liked the
hamster view and transport box bits. I sent Tony the transport box remark and
he said, "right, I'll get right on that." :-)

What we really need is a box with a nice bag, although I think the zipper may
be rather challenging to model...

If our working lives resembled this project, we'd be unemployed long ago.

Yeah, pretty darn good thing that there are better work options out there.

Some things take just way too long.
