New Signature file ! New Year's resolution...

Ok... For me it's a big thing, so read if interested ;) As some of you saw, 1998 for me was the year of transition. It was also the same for the overall SimRacing industry. I feel closely related to the Simracing community. Im here since long ago, made many friends and enemies. My signature file was made of all pass moments in r.a.s. I kept it as a little inside joke to the oldies here. Many of them are gone. Out to something else, Working for racing company, etc.. I feel it's time for me to flip the page and think in the future... I consider r.a.s. as the Senate of the Simracing community (ok you can laugh hehe). We somehow serve as politicians, expressing our opinions on various subjects, from game reviews (somehow similar to law reviews), overall racing philosophies and future ideas. There is no better places than here ! You all know my past. I don't want to hear it anymore. And it's time for me to reveal my new signature file. ;) . No more mention of my foreign language, I feel I mastered enough the written English to not need it anymore, and no more inside joke, except the end quote ;) Drum roll... 5 4 3 2 1 (is there somebody still reading this heheh ??). -= Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -= NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -= SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -= May the Downforce be with you...

What does this have to do with auto simulators? Rick

>What does this have to do with auto simulators? Everything, Rick. And if you were really a part of this group (not just a Y2K paranoia spammer), you'd *know* that.

OMG congratulations ;-) Wow I just read your post... those taxi drivers are crazy. I know it myself, I went to NewYork. It's about equal. They have those big metal plates on the front and rear bumper so that's it's the _others_ that get the damage, not them ;-) I want a driving sim like that...

Hehehe, I'm a big fan myself! But in Tunisia you know that should you hit anything more substantial than a fly, it'll probably all be over very quickly... The original "Quarantine" was kinda like that. Running people over in taxis whilst trying to achieve some sort of indetermined goal :-) Cheers! -- Graeme Nash http://www.karisma1.demon.co.uk ICQ# 11257824
