If they called it windows tablet it would make sense.

But it really is no surprise that it isn't that good. Microsoft has alleys done a good OS then bad OS. Eg. W98 good, win me, bad win xp good, win vista bad, win 7 good ect

There, fixed that for ya...

Dunno I call it a bad OS, just the Metro interface is a bit naff, or more to the point the "apps" are by and large naff...

3) Those Depends you wear work like a charm OR Have amazing bladder control for someone your age

4) Have great racing buddies

I don't think I'd call that a problem.  151

 

Though you failed to mention that you followed up that Saturday with Sunday, where you ran a 1.5 hour endurance race at Sebring with a turnaround long enough to piss, refill the coffee/tea, grab a quick snack (probably eating at the wheel) before jumping into a 2 hour endurance race at Lemans (that you managed an overall win at).  surprise

He he, yeah that is exactly how it panned out. The racing gods were with me on that second race though, a classic case of you have to be in it to win it.

Don't you get technical with me...I will punch you in the ovaries. It's a special move I call "The Scrambled Egg Screamer."

Whitewolf has run with a controller for quite awhile.  You should try chatting with him.

 

Though I agree, it's a bit proposterous.  151

Motorbikes many years ago, but that whole game is way out of my budget these days, I can just about afford to keep my road car going and legal.

There's a few of us that used to race.

I ran dirt track oval down in Florida years ago.

Ultivek's an actual driving instructor! So sweet when I can actually finish ahead of him on track!

Flywheel as well fellas.

 

I used to race a bit of banger racing (Demo Darby is what you guys call it I think) for about 5 years a few years back.

 

A vid of where I used to race.

It may also kind of explain my driving style in game angel

Did some of that in my highschool days, great fun! Won a few, lost a few more!

But demo derby's are deliberate crashing of cars until only the last car can move, that looks more like low dollar dirt track to me? Everyone lines up inside an infiled usually or arena, and the object is to put your rear end through their front end, usually to kill their radiator and such.

That is not quite what I expected Church. They don't look too fast. FWD on dirt would be a neet change but no power slides... What do them things hit anyway, 30kph-40kph?

@knight- supercross/motocross or road bike.

OSS, I gave up on dirt oval quite some time ago. We had a decent team built up but the mounting fees just got out of control.

I don't race sims anymore much even. Still race RCs though.
