A "Merry Christmas" String!

RAS Christmas greetings thread

Tom Pabst started a single Christmas greetings thread, hoping for a record-length thread without arguments. Posters exchanged greetings and wishlists, including GPL tracks, the World Sports Cars release and an engine-detecting VROC, and began a 'Twelve Days of Christmas' parody.

Maybe we could start "one" single "Merry Christmas" string? If everyone posted it here....we'd could set a record for "the longest string" on r.a.s. (I think its something around 120 posts and sub-posts)......and do it.... .....without an argument; .....without flaming people; .....without accusation; .....without ill-will towards our fellows. ?? Merry Christmas to everyone in the racing sim community.....and Happy New Year! Regards, Tom Pabst Pabst-Racing

Is it Christmas? Gee, must get away from this computer more often. :) Anyway, Merry Christm... Oh sod that, who's for a race on vroc. Actually, if only that was true. My controllers buggered and so I can't race at all at the mo. I'm going to have to celebrate this time of year in the boring traditional way - with friends and family. Arse!! :) Sitting around, talking to people and laughing and joking etc. It's just not natural. And none of them are going to give a stuff about my sub 1:24 at Zandy are they? :) -- Peter Ives - (AKA Ivington) Remove ALL_STRESS before replying No person's opinions can be said to be more correct than another's, because each is the sole judge of his or her own experience.
