=> Out of hiding:
Loong time no see!

Aaaahh Hawaii - what memories! I raced in the IVGA Last chance league
with "legends" likke Joe Farr, Nim Cross, Earl Setser etc... (where are
they now?)

My biggest problem was a that I was on international calling rate (!!) And
when a $650+ phonebill "suddenly" surfaced - I had to drop out... (Boy was
my old man ****ed!!)

<= Back into hiding...

(Prerparing my historic racecar you see)

I still think TEN was the best experience there has been since Hawaii. They
had ratings that actually told you something.

Sierra's are useless, and NSR doesn't even have any I can find (though they
were trumpeted in some of the interviews I read).

Personly, from a technology standpoint, I think it's gone backwards

I ran a few times. First ever flaming experience on the net happened on
Hawaii.

It's getting along quite well... I'm in the latter stages of preparing the
shell - and then it's of to the painter for a respray.

Also been busy preparing a Mini Marcos for a "customer" aswell as helping
Matt out with his car. He took 4 class wins from 4 starts last season -
although competition was "petite" to say the least.. Highlight of the season
was the last race when his prays for rain finally paid off - was such a
blast watching him "kill" Mustangs in the wet ending with a well deserved
5th overall.

Oh well - seems like things are pretty dull in the virtual-world so it looks
like we picked the right time to convert back into real size cars )

Any big news I've missed? (Like Racing Legends having been released (sorry
'couldnt help it!) or big announcements from the ex-Papy guys at FIRST?)

Glad to hear it Ed.

As far as virtual cars go I just received GTR today. To me GTR is on par
with GPL and nearly the best thing since sliced bread

Seriously though, we finally get something for the hardcore simmer and all
we hear is "its the same as F1C" which imo is a load of bs. Yet in the
next sentence the same guys say how great NSR "WILL BE WITH A PATCH" and
that no one cheats in NR2003... go figure...

What happened to the good ole days when roof riders were ridiculed and aids
users were cheaters and true sims (as GTR) were glorified as gifts from
heaven

I prefer GTP because of the cars simulated, but GTR is awesome. I hate
pretty much everything else I've tried in the ISI engine, but GTR (and
the rFactor demo, actually) is incredibly good.
