Hey, me too! I have raced the papyrus Nascar sims for the past 7 or so years. Its been really cool how they have developed and evolved with the new bigger better faster computers, and how much online experiences have changed from just two guys connected by modem at 9600kbs to full fields of 43 guys from around the world connected via internet.

Troy and Tim, do you guys mod or re-skin the sim cars in your games? one fellow i talked to regularly did and it was really neat to do your own "paint schemes" and watch them on the virtual track. i think the web site was sim-paint.com. some games have the paint shop option built into them, but if you can find the correct file (types) drop in your own. not sure if for online racing each participant would need the skin or if it would be on the host server.
as for my fave racing on the PC, i like the older Need For Speed series, Hot Pursuit. with a force feedback wheel and large monitor it's a blast. maybe the new Underground (Import cars) will be good, but it seems many of the newer titles don't have as much fun factor as they once did.

Well, I got this thing about service work. I spent as many years in other shops, building and servicing electric signs and working out of crane trucks and aerial ladders, as I have years spent painting ! I think the people I worked with influenced me some. Lots of people have ragged me about it..."What's a sign painter doing working on electric signs" etc., but for some reason I've always liked that sort of work. I'd be a better painter today, if I hadn't spent so much time servicing stuff. Oh well !

'.. I like to wear some panties, girdles and a bra, I want to be a girlie, like my dear papa..'
For those of you unfamiliar with Monti Python's Flying Circus, my appologies, but I'm a big fan and I love that song. It is sung by a lumberjack, accompanied by a chorus of Mounted Police. Should be our Canadian anthum....
'..My father thinks I'm crazy cause I wear my sisters clothes ..dah dah dah.. ..dah dah dah.. .dah.dah.daah.. he caught me in the bathroom trying on her panty hose ..dah dah dah.. ..dah dah dah.. .dah.dah.daah.. ' Cheech and Chong, Up in Smoke, shaped my Youth, what I remember of it.
No I'm not a crossdresser. But these guys were way out there, and I'm into strange comedy. Also enjoy Robin Williams, such as his mr happy routine, priceless.
That's my secret, at least one of, only one I'll admit to....

Nothing Like a good rerun of the little rascals and a die hard WW2 Computer game player.. Nothing feels better after a hard day of cutomers like Sniping an Online Nazi from 100 yards... "who Says PC games promote Violence"

My ex-wife truly believed I was having an affair with Kim Bassinger. She called the house one time and was asking for me when my then wife answered the phone. I was down in the shop when she yelled down that my girlfriend Kim was on the phone. I had no idea what the hell she was talking about. I denied the affair but she never did believe me?
I sure wish I could have at least tapped the woman I was being accused of having an affair with. Women, sheesh.

Well, I don't like alcohol very much. Drugs aren't very fun. I'm not over weight. And since the addicts in my family have more fun than the Enablers I decided to join the OTHER side. LOL
