Title: Non motor racing links
Post by: smokie on January 30, 2005, 11:21:17 am
Let's try a new thread... if you have seen a link you want to tell everyone about, which isn't racing or LM related, use this thread.

For starters, some of you may be interested in this free sample...

http://www.k-y.co.uk/bgdisplay505f.html?itemname=warning

I'll review how this is working after a bit and may delete it if insufficient interest



Keep 'em clean please...  :)

There is an American version of this somewhere else, but if you are attending an event at Knockhill then you could use these to advertise Club Arnage...

Wow, what a great stechbecken! He's what it says on the English website:

 .The patient’s backside remains dry during use

• Improving/preservation of the intimate sphere

• Reduced soiling of the patient

• No soiling of the bed

• Nearly odourless

• Nearly leak proof

• High cost-reduction

I am delighted to see that it is nearly leakproof, I mean, we're all looking to preserve our intimate spheres aren't we?

Curiously, it seems to have a photocopier-like tray at the front. I can only assume that it receives faxes as well. The cut-away cross sections also look interesting, in a giant sort of mole-grip lobster claw fashion. I think even the Marquis de Sade would be swooning at this. There is also a downloadable demonstration video, but I daren't go near it, the police'd be round before you could say carpal tunnel syndrome.
You'd certainly cut a dash strolling around the Village in one of these.

Right Bob! You know that it has ended when you accomplish the stated aim; lighting the two torches on the top right circular thing. It also comes up with 'The End' in big letters that fill the screen.

Have a go by all means but do not read the bit below in italics if you don't want it spoiled. You've been warned. I didn't write this myself by the way.






Open the hatch on the right above the upwards-pointing arrow, and click the arrow to get a little man to operate your cannon. Open the window of the house in the bottom left (so the inhabitants can hear the bell when it rings) and nake sure the arrow suspended above it is pointing right (so they know which way to run when the time comes). This all becomes important later.

Fire your first rock upwards at the bell, but - WAIT - as it hits the bell you need to click on the see-saw/spear thing, so that it swivels and ends up pointing upwards on the left. If you don't do this the rock will trap it in the position it started in. As the bell rings, the house door in the bottom left should open.

Angle your cannon down and fire the second rock to knock the plank into place for the bridge. The next two things you fire are grenades, and they're a complete red herring. You need to get rid of them without destroying anything, so fire them down and click on the bridge just before they hit it. It'll bounce and knock them upwards to explode harmlessly in mid-air. Fire your last projectile down so it'll bounce into the cave and the man can open the door.
Click on your cannon-eer again and he'll get inside it. Get another man from the up-arrow and have him fire upward - your first chap should land by the bell. Click on him and he'll move the scaffolding. Click on the see-saw to have it revert to its original position, and keep clicking on the bell till it falls off. This should catapult the rock down to clear the landmine below. With that done, click on the open house door and a chap will come out and have a clear path to light the firtst torch for you.

If you click on the bloke in the cave at the bottom he'll run to light the second torch, but a dog (or man on a bike with slicing wheels, I'm not sure) will drop out of the '!' box and kill him. What you need to do is start him running, and then (timing) open the window above him - the chap inside will slam it shut, and the ceiling will cave in and kill the dog, (or man on a bike with slicing wheels, as applicable).


And there you have it!

I have the second part of this film, but it is 16mb and I have run out of space on my website  ???

However, it basically shows him burning for 90 seconds before being dragged out and then he is seen staggering and falling about the track whilst nobody attends him. Quite terrible really.

Here is a link about the ensuing court case

http://mdn.mainichi.co.jp/news/archive/200310/29/20031029p2a00m0fp019000c.html

At least he survived.


Title: Re:Non motor racing links
Post by: jpchenet on April 07, 2005, 12:06:44 am
I can host it Mr. I!! I'll PM you some ftp details!!

The court case sounds quite bizarre.

"A racing car driver whose career ended with a sickening crash five years ago Wednesday was awarded 90 million yen compensation after the Tokyo District Court ruled race organizers were to blame for his crippling accident."

About £440,000!!

"Tetsuya Ota fell well short of getting the 300 million he had been asking from the five organizers and the marshal of the 1998 race where he suffered severe burns that ruined his driving career, but received the vindication he had been looking for.""Those ordered to pay Ota include Fuji Speedway in Shizuoka Prefecture, where the horrifying crash occurred, and TV Tokyo, which broadcast the race."

Unless things are different over there, I'm surprised that a volunteer marshall is being sued! That said, I did notice from the video that no-one particularly rushed to either car!!!

"None of the defendants have stated whether they will appeal against the ruling, including TV Tokyo, which spent the entirety of the court battle arguing that it could not be regarded as one of the race organizers."

So a TV company is classed as responsible, as were sponsors, because the pace car went too fast?????

"A pre-race agreement between Ota and the organizers not to pursue legal action in the event of an accident was also dismissed as unacceptable."

We've all said many times that the drivers know the risks involved, and that is why we respect them!!
