who got the best racing related xmas present this year?

And if you bought it for yourself it doesn't count. Mine was a copy of CMR2 (which hasn't arrived yet so I got a screen shot in a card.)

What sucks is that she is better than I am She does not race online very much anymore because she really hates the cussing/flaming that goes on each race so she mostly sticks to Offline racing. I am hoping that the two of us can attend one of the Likereal lan events next year "David L. Cook" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:7CQ16.7038$[email hidden]...

Well I guess I am lucky this year since I got my Thomas wheel early and well a set of Hoosier 20x9.5x13 R33 Compound slick for my Solo ll Car. My Mother-in-laws home smelt like Fresh Rubber today, such a great smell actaully. Dave

Not the best present, but I got a CH PRo Pedals set, just need to get a 9 pin to 15 pin converter for my logitech ff wheel :( and a USB to 15 pin (probably have to run more) so that I can use the pedals with my ACT Labs wheel. :( -Stuart Becktell "Doug Hook" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:upN16.16936$[email hidden]... > And if you bought it for yourself it doesn't count.

Mark, Your right :) The circuit is the key, I use to host races on a AMD K6-2-350 128Meg sitting on muxed T1 lines and it was maybe the best server on Vroc. But now I am forced to host GPL races on a DSL line, with a 1Gig Duron 256Meg computer and its not nearly as good. Solid, "low Latency" bandwidth is the key to a great connection/host. A Pentium 200 would be great, on a good connection in my opinion. Regards, DaveB "Mark Seery" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:chb26.15723$[email hidden]... > Don't listen to them.

FWIW, this film is also available on DVD. Best Buy has it for $19.99. Of course, it's not the same as in an IMAX Theatre.... Gandolf1 wrote:
