Good write up matey, glad you're enjoying it How's the steering? I can't remember if the dynamic steering thing was an option on the E92.

I'd say power steering pump failure, but that should go harder not lighter. Anything look wrong with the rack underneath? Fluid topped up in the res?

I have the car. Oh. My.

Still not sure! Think it needs to be seen in the flesh, but I suspect it actually works very well. Brave choice, but good choice

http://www.thrustmaster.com/en_UK/products/t300-ferrari-gte-wheel Same base as my TX wheel. It's the class leader right now, and couple it with the T3PA pedals and TH8A shifter for a setup to die for. I have, and it's amazing. Honestly, don't look any further.

Nope, and I'm going to stay away from that side of things. CBA with the hassle of trying to defend my own bases, I want to play the game at my own pace.

Still at the garage, rear toe bolt broke when doing the alignment Patience is a virtue and all that.

Can you take a photo without any filters, so we can see the true colour? I'm in two minds about the colours, but there's no doubt that these wheels suit the car far more than the old ones.

^^^ That. I've driven a turbo 350 on road and track, but I've never owned one.

Tomorrow The sneak pics I've got aren't really that good, if I'm honest.

... said no one, ever.

Clearly you've been there too long then!

No, don't roger it! Bloody Welshmen...

Nah, sod the sheep!

In theory, you're supposed to micro manage the assignment of soldiers, which I started doing but now I just auto-assign via right click of the right stick. So much easier, and I don't feel hard done by at all. That puppy is quite important

If I was trying to be patronising Adrian, I'd have said that your contributions to this thread had been invaluable.

Yup, and it's quite low now, or at least low to me!

The car is ready for collection! No coolant pipe done as sadly it didn't arrive in time and didn't look like it would before next weekend, however mine is fine so that's good news. The roof also didn't get wrapped as there was a mixup, so may try and get that done during the week. Still, roll on tomorrow!

Bears are evil f*ckers. You need a capture cage, you unlock it later on along with more powerful ZZZ darts.

I think we scared him off

Can I just interject at this point and say that this is proving to be a very worthwhile discussion, and apart from a couple of posts where people have been trying to provoke a reaction, everyone has made some excellent points on both sides. It's refreshing to see this kind of open debate about the forum on here, it's not often that we all have a frank and open discussion about our community. Well done folks

However, I will happily admit that part of it is down to being nosey, but then that's human nature. As is pushing boundaries, see my point above.

Doc explained it pretty well, I think. I also maintain that if you don't know where the lines are, how do you know when you've crossed them?

Oh lord, that is soooooooo much better than the standard 370 interior! Gauge pod isn't a great fit, but I really like the idea and that's certainly better than what was there before.

Looking at it from their POV, and I'm not speaking for them nor am I saying that this conversation went down when I was a Team Member (as it didn't), but my guess would be that sometimes people don't get banned because they break one rule, it's because they break several. You then need to explain each and every rule that was broken, which isn't always possible as the data isn't kept in a format that's easy to search, and justify each one: That takes time. I still think a quick one-liner saying "Jeff was banned because of some bad trading practices and poor reactions to moderation requests" would be enough, but others may want more detail which, let's face it, would be a real sod to sort out. I can't see any moral reason not to disclose the reason for a ban (it's not without precedent, think Greekman), so I'll assume that it's a time/effort thing. I'm not having a dig at the Team here, as it's not like I particularly tried to change things when I was a Mod and perhaps had the ability to chat behind the scenes, so I'm as guilty as anyone for the status quo.
