Re: rFactor Winter Racing SIM League

I bought the Logitech Momo setup from someone on Craigslist.
It stopped working well after a while (like computer didn't recognize it) and Logitech replaced it for me.

Re: How to put a value on a box van?

That would be a pretty sweet setup for a Vee... if you can get it in.
Maybe this link will help?

Hopefully you can find one in similar condition and see what Penske sells them for.

Re: Google Sketch-UP 3D CAD free software

Looks pretty cool, but I've used solidworks for a long time and I'm sold. It's not just drawing things up to see how they look. You build components/parts and mate them all to create an assembly. You can see how well all the parts work together and even do stress analyses. You can also convert the p...

Re: First Victory

I'm still working towards my first win... hopefully I'm closer now that I've got a nice new car.
But I did almost win once... I was in a close second in the rain until I spun on one of the last couple laps... I imagine my first win having the exact opposite emotions associated with it.

Well I tried to record the race, but screwed it up somehow.
I was a good race (for second) if you missed it.
