  1. Wow, that video was uploaded in early 2006! :eek:
    You don't see those often!

  2. Definitely not... I also love how your first reaction to that video is simply about the year in which it was uploaded ;)

  3. Haha, such things always happen :p
    I was at the hospital some time ago, and the woman was trying to show me pictures of things inside me. She was naming everything, and explaining, but I had more attention for the keyboard she was using and the software the pictures were shown in :rolleyes:

  4. As long as everything inside you was normal, I suppose that's fair enough to think about other things :p

  5. I watched a rally today for the first time at my zio's house. I think it was the World Championships? Not sure, could you shed some light on it?

  6. It could well be the World Rally Championship, I'm not sure if it was on today though... Might have been, did you like it? I think rally is great! :D

  7. I'm not sure what I should classify "being entertained by watching people roll over", but I did enjoy watching the drifts coming out of jumps, it was exquisite.

    I don't understand why there is a second guy in the car that is looking at a map though..

  8. The idea is to get point to point on a tarmac/gravel/dirt track as fast as possible to win :) The jumps, Scandinavian flicks, drifts and noises are all very fun :p

    As for the second guy, he's very important (or she), on that map are notes on how sharp the corners are and when the corners are coming up. For example, "left 2 to 100 into right 7" in notes form would mean the following:
    • Sharp left, slow
    • 100 feet till next corner, accelerate
    • Light right, let off slightly
    Or something similar to that ;) The co-driver reads out these words so that the person driving knows how to corner/when. If you want to know more about it then feel free to ask!

  9. Sure thing! Maybe when I get some time to myself and am not up-to-ears full with tasks, I will chat on mumble with you! When it happens, I'll let you know.. this seems like an interesting sport.

  14. That's not great... Do you know if that's being changed on the newer cars?

  15. I would hope so! No recall on the bulletin board yet. Lamborghini will tell you NOT to rev the engine freely, so... Fire starts in the same place every time. Wouldn't be hard to solve the issue
    Money talks tho :D

  16. People will rev it freely, there's no doubt about it :p No stopping it! I like the new Huracan that they made though, much better than most of their recents!
