I’m still waiting for a comment from Pixeleen about Motorati at all… As far I remember, she was attacking them and Razen about how Pontiac didn’t slap their logo on everything.

Hmmm… interesting. Did I just smell a sense of cowardice for not admitting their (her) rude behavior they’ve (she) done to them?

Oh that’s right… she just had to send Jimbo in to give them good words about them to make up for it. Ahh.. tricky, Pixeleen.

Good job, Jimbo.

(I didn’t forget about you too, Heartun)

Wow! You are all the best! Thank you for the kind words Patch, Suku and Prokofy. You can bet I will check out the races Jonas and HOLY CRAP Razen, thanks for the car!

Driven with pure pontiac excitement,
Jimbo

Hey, thanks for checking out my track. Nick’s the new guy around there, there’s been a recent influx of drivers. I blame you *grins*.

Oh yeah, don’t forget, there ARE motorcycle racin’ tracks. I used to race at them a while back, so gimme holler if you need help finding anything racing related.

Great piece, Jimbo, loved it. Give that man a drink! Sometimes you can’t find groups now because the search in GROUPS only works on keywords that happen to be in the very first word of the Group’s name. So unless you “just knew” to look this group up under “SL”, you wouldn’t find it; using “motorcyle” would turn up 0. In PLACEs, if they had land named after the group, it might show.

Hey Jimbo

Thanks for checking out Pontiac’s island and for the shameless plug…your wish is my command, I just gave you 600 lindens to cover the cost of one of our Solstice GXP’s.

You can check out the car at

If cycles are more your style than you can’t go wrong with a bike by Les White. He’s also on our island at http://motoratilife.com/directory/detail.php?id=82

Enjoy and give me a yell in world, we’ll go racing some time!

Maybe playing lots of top notch simulators has ruined my chance of enjoying vehicles in SL. So far I’ve found the best of them to have the feel and detail of a 1980s CGA computer game, but with the added problem of online lag. I think someone would’ve created a SL vehicle worth a damn by now if it was technically possible with the existing tools.

Hi Artemis, never underestimate my ability to miss the obvious.
Actually when i started researching the “search groups” feature was down. I have since become a member of the SL Motorcycle Racing Association” and proudly wear my racer tag a lot. (Please don’t tell anyone I’m not an actual racer yet…it’ll be just our secret, ok?)

Hi Onder, The night I was there the track was almost lag free. The cars handle very well, but because you’re moving yourself a lot faster than you do when you walk, it can be tricky not to run into things (a lot). That could of course just be me.

Hi Lynette, I’m with you! I’m looking into scooters.

Thanks for reading my jibberish and for the comments! SL Herald readers are the best!

Thanks,
Jimbo

I race around Podcast island from time to time, on a Go-Kart. Still not good enough yet to race on a cycle, as my digital noggin is afraid of splatting on the pavement.
