Hello from a n00b (ish) driver

[Jarmin]

Hello guys and gals,

I've been playing LFS off and on for a while now but I think it's time I got good at it LOL. I just thought I'd pop my head up and say hello to everyone! In the past I had alot of setup issues (such as erratic force feedback making the car twitch) but I’ve gone for a fresh install and everything seems to be fine now :thumb::thumb:

I drive a J reg Austin Mini (998) and love the UF1000 and XFGTR.

Hope to see you all on the track :)

LOL, I saw this post and thought, bah, another noob making a useless post!

Erm, turns out it's BSR.Jarmin!:thumb:

BTW i'm fixing the shoutbox on the website, debugging html/perl is NOT my forte :schwitz:

it's open to anybody, but it's not quite working yet, i think, i need to figure out how to get the posts to actually show up once you've entered them, i'm confused but getting there :shrug:.

Another Norfolk-ese type person, good to see :), maybe we should have a county to county LFS league, judging by the amount of Norfolk based drivers out there I am sure we would win LOL.

you knows it

[tristancliffe]

Or we could just arrange a day at Wild Tracks (near Thetford) for Norfolkers :D

[danowat]

Wonder how many are from Norfolk infact?, I know of at least 5.

Dan,

[Gentlefoot]

How about Snetterton? One of the few UK tracks I've not been on. I'd come up for it even though I'm in Surrey

[danowat]

I am fairly mad already, I was born and breed in Essex, go figure ;)

Snettie? I work a stones throw from there, have driven it a good few times, they have track days over there but not much else really, unless you want to drive round the RC car track.

Dan,

[Theafro]

My auntie Olive lived in Norfolk and she went mad.

It just takes time.....

i like the idea of a day out down @ trax, but there's a pretty good kart track near cromer thats freindly and cheap (absolutely mental in the wet after dark, like last time i went :D).

and the snett is always holding testing/track days, might be fun to share a car or two and go for a blast,

[danowat]

Also outdoor track at Swaffham, if its still open/there.

Dan,

[Theafro]

might be worth starting a thread about this, get the attention of the other locals, i'm starting to like the idea of an anglian LFS meet, and we'll get the chance to slap tristan about a bit with a trout :razz:

[tristancliffe]

Also outdoor track at Swaffham, if its still open/there.

Dan,

Brilliant fun, especially in the damp with slicks. As far as I know it still exists, and they were planning on expanding it and improving the whole site.

[danowat]

Sounds like fun, heck even a quick couple of hours at battlenet on St Stephens having a race would be fun (not sure if they have LFS), could do it while the missus goes shopping ;).
I would be up for an event some kind at Swaffham, I would probably come last again as per the other karting event, not sure I would be up for an endurance event though LOL

Dan,

[tristancliffe]

Never been there, but I used to see it when I caught the bus from just outside it. Above Iceland isn't it?

[danowat]

Yeah, never been there myself either.

Dan,

[Theafro]

well, we could hire out a village hall or something, would only cost about £40 for a whole day, split that between the lot of us and we've got a LAN party.

[Funnybear]

Wrong side of the country for me . . . Deepest Darkest Wales. Well, Cardiff anyway. Not that I am welsh. I'm English, born and bred Oxford boy but the bird lived in Cardiff so I did the decent thing . . . At least I did after I knocker her up . . . oops.

Although my little one has now officially become a toddler . . . Ooo and Ahh please. Ooo and Ahh.

But it's nice to see a good Brit contingent getting up and running. Good to see the flag flying . . .

Don't worry, Mr Jakg, Sir. I am also currently residing in the wonderful county of Suffolk. :D

[Theafro]

suffolk, bah! :razz:

they're all a bit weird down there.:pillepall

but i suppose not quite as weird as some norfolkers.:scratchch


you'd all be welcome for a meet tho'! we should organize this proper like.

[tristancliffe]

this proper like.

We'll have to wait til you get back from Geordyland

[Jarmin]

Cheers for all the good feedback guys :)

I was reading in MiniWorld there is a NMOC (Norfolk Mini Owners Club) meet at Fakenham racecourse 28th of May, with camping!

I intend to go with theafro (dunno if he knows this yet LOL) but I think this would be a good venue for us.
