  1. Well  I just discovered what 'RIP Inbox' on Reddit is all about!

    I answered a question in r/AskReddit called 'What food is loved in your country but hated and ridiculed elsewhere?'. My reply was 'I have a feeling beans on toast isn't popular outside of the U.K.'

    Anyway, log in 9 hours later and this question is at the top of the subreddit, and my comment has got 1920 upvotes, and 265 inbox notifications! Crazy!

  2. Yeah Rossi was actually very impressive today I thought, I thought he'd be a bit behind Stevens but he was quite comfortably ahead of him. Also his first time in an F1 car in a heck of a long time, and at Singapore, so a good effort. He sure deserves the rest of the races he's doing this season to prove himself, and hopefully he can get a drive next year.

  3. I hope it turns out ok whatever happened mate :)

    Thing is with Apple, while they often seem to be two years behind the others, when they do do it they always do it so damn well. Using my iPhone and iPad is always a dream and everything is so well thought out.

    USERNAME CHANGE, HELL YEAH

    Lee reminded me a couple of days before he left that ages ago I asked whether I could have a username change, as PeteTheDuck has nothing to do with me, I don't use that name anywhere else, and my name isn't Pete...

    So yes, now I'm MBKF1!
    Ok, so question... Do you have the power to change usernames?

    And a good change, I can guess that MB is your first name and surname, what's the K for? Shame you didn't change to Hami1ton though ;)
    No I don't unfortunately. It's a bit weird, but on the administration panel bit there is an option for me to change a username, but it won't save it, due to my permissions as a moderator, and the fact the Codemasters Accounts system links the forums with RaceNet. I think I'm right in thinking that, but no, unfortunately I can't.

    And I'm pleased with the change! You're right, MB are my initials, but the MBK thing came from a mate actually, who once randomly called me 'MBK'. There are two syllables in my surname, and the second starts with a K. So he now calls me it every time he sees me, and it's stuck with me!

    I'm pleased with it though, and hopefully this time it should stick. It's the first username I've had which has some proper meaning to me. The rest of them (PeteTheDuck, ThatRaceDriver, phibes, Hami1ton) don't really have anything to do with me.

    Although Hami1ton is cool for nostalgic purposes! Man, I miss the vBulls  :'(



  5. USERNAME CHANGE, HELL YEAH

    Lee reminded me a couple of days before he left that ages ago I asked whether I could have a username change, as PeteTheDuck has nothing to do with me, I don't use that name anywhere else, and my name isn't Pete...

    So yes, now I'm MBKF1!

  6. I think the forum should make it a requirement with new members that they must post something like 10 normal comments before they are able to create their own discussions. All of the spam at the moment is in their own threads, so at least that way they won't be able to spam with discussions.

  7. Dauym there's a lot of spam today. Getting ridiculous now, I can't believe this hasn't been stopped.

    Well obviously when I'm online I will go through it all and delete it, but it does take time as I make sure I ban every user that does it too, so I mark them for spamming and choose to delete their content too.

    On the other side of things, I do have a life so I can't be here all the time :p

  8. Oh god I love being 18, I was at the pub only last night enjoying a fantastic pint with my mates.

    I was away on a family holiday for my actual 18th so there wasn't any mega partying, but I had about 20 people round my house last week and had a very cool party.

  9. Thread revival! Got a couple I wanted to share...

    The police arrested two teenagers yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks.

    They charged one and let the other one off.

  10. I can't see it either. The Red Bull/Renault relationship seems sour now so they look like they need a change, but no other engine manufacturer looks realistically possible for them to fight for championships. Mercedes and Ferrari obviously have works teams so it's highly unlikely they will beat them as customers, and Honda have said they are focusing on McLaren for now. If Renault come in with a works team next year too then that's even worse for Red Bull!

    Maybe they should go for another manufacturer? Audi, if they came into F1, could be good for them, but like McLaren Honda, it may take them a good 3-5 years for them to get to winning ways again. It's a horrible situation for them to be in.

  11. I think it's just the one, but yes! Exactly the same as you, while it would be amazing to drive one of those amazing cars with so much history behind the name, the Atom is the one I think I'm gonna go for. I think it'll be the most fun to drive as well, quite agile, ridiculously good acceleration too.

    Also, another mate got me Project CARS! So I'll definitely give that a go later on today.

  12. Yesterday I had a party to celebrate my 18th birthday, so I'm writing this with a slight headache :p But anyway, I can't believe this, about 8 or 9 of my incredible friends all clubbed together and bought me a driving experience!

    On the sheet it said the experience can be done at Dunsfold Park (the Top Gear test track), and I have a choice of over 8 cars including Lamborghini's, Ferrari's, Aston Martin's, Nissan GTR and the Ariel Atom!

    I cannot flippin wait, and as I've passed my driving test I'm so happy as I'll have the confidence to drive fast :p
