funny folks

(hint: mph --> kmh = x 1,6)

You're just as funny - it's 1.6, not 1,6. A "," is a punctuation mark, not a decimal I think the French also do it that way. Ren is that true?

[mike_tseng]

actually the "," is used everywhere else except the north america

[Overheat]

It's not used in England. We use full stops like normal people.

[mike_tseng]

no no i mean like $5,50 instead of $5.50 like we use in the North America

[Overheat]

yea, we use the latter

[Bimmer]

thats crazy, when I read Spanish magazines or forums they use the comma and man does that drive me nuts, living the in the US is a real pain in the ass, why do we have to make life so hard

I can't figure out what song this is, but could you please tell me what the song being played at 3:17-3:23 & again at 3:34-3:40?

Thanks

That track is "Storm 3000" by Leftfield. From their 1995 album "Leftism".

The specific track and remix played when the german chick was driving the 'Ring is William Orbit - "Barber's Adagio for Strings" (Ferry Corsten Remix). I think it's about 4 or 5 years old. If you enjoy that tune, you may also enjoy Gouryella - "Tenshi". Gouryella is a group formed by Ferry Corsten (who did the Barber's Adagio remix) and DJ Tiesto so you may also enjoy other productions by them.

Americans use "." in decimal points and commas in large numbers...guess its the easiest way to put it

Hm there is no such option? Never checked since my versions are all with km/h, so no need for me to change :p

not really, the "," is the english way... that's what I always thought..

but it depends, I use a "." most of the time and that's what you usually see but we also see ","

Tell someone who cares about mph vs. kph....I was just pointing out a difference.

I read a pretty funny thing on a other forum some month ago about Jeremys visit at the ring. I really like this one, and its also really fun written.

OK, here's the deal. We spot Mr Clarkson in the carpark and take a wander over to see what it's all about. Turns out that Sabine is to coach him so that he can get below 10 minutes before the day is over. It's for an episode of Top Gear and there were various technicians taping loads of cameras to the chase car.

As the time for them to go out neared, I went to the Golf, Ed to the Clio and Jeppe to the Civic. The first lap was to be Sabine driving and Jeremy in the passenger seat being followed by the camera car. We waited after the cones like buzzing hornets and then Sabine appeared. All three of us took off and managed to get in between both the Jags, I was giggling like a small child at our behaviour, it was fecking hilarious

After I had had my fun through Hatzenbach, Jeppe and Ed took up the chase after Hocheichen, it was very entertaining to watch! After Adenauer Forst, we came up behind an old Kadett Coupe, the Jags, then Ed & Jeppe went passed but I got stuck behind him. Going into Breidscheid he lost the back end and ended up with the rear facing the wall and staring at me bearing down on him with four locked wheels, lots of smoke and 1000kg of Wolfsburgs finest heading for his drivers door at, *cough 50kph *cough*. I managed to come to a stop about 1cm from his door, we looked at each other, I smiled, he farted, and off we went Needless to say I had lost the little convoy

Back at the gates, it was Mr. Clarksons turn to drive, with Sabine in the passengers seat. Kim jumped into my passenger seat for the fun and Ed was already waiting at the cones We tore off after the Jag and overtook him rather quickly, so quickly in fact, that both Ed & I pulled off at Breidscheid and then overtook him again Kim & I did this for two laps running until Mr Clarkson had had enough and pulled off.

I couldn't resist the temptation and wandered over to tell him that I thought he did quite well for his first laps, "what were you driving?" he asked, "the old red Golf" I replied, "which one? there were two", "no there weren't Jeremy, I pulled off and then overtook you again." He was not amused, I nearly wet myself, again, so did Sabine

Karl.
