Are you prescribing medicine to yourself???? This is like some sort of "stream of conciousness" rant.

At the time I had an '82 911 SC, but my friend had a '79 930 which he let me drive (he would drive his M6 and we'd drive the mountain roads together). The 930 was rather a lot of fun. An even I could get it over the speed limit.

Fail not driving cautiously in view of the waiving yellow flag. Excitement happens at time 0:35 seconds.

Yeah saw that one on RL. Pretty bad hit. Not one car in that pack slowed down and it almost seemed like the one SM that moved off line did so due to the flag and hit the lotus.

On another note... Is it me or is RL in general a great big Fail lately?

It's still the biggest base of owners for technical questions. But the race forum is basically two unknown racers pissing on each other about who is less unknown, and a handful of sidekicks doing the proverbial, "Yeah, boss. You're the greatest."

LOL... too true. At least if I post my car for sale here. Everyone won't immediately think it is a Nigerian scam.
