    Stu, LMAO thats classic.

    I can't believe I left out Topcat too lol, he was around back in the NOS days too, in fact me and him went toe to toe with each other on Spa for 40 laps straight in the GTR in one race, don't know how I could forget that.

    Carn_the_pies told me about it when GT5 first came out and although i've never raced here on GT5, always stuck around and had a look at forums and talk to the guys on the iRacing side of things.

    Nos_Bonus_888 got me going here, part way thru season 6. Glad he did too! Cheers Bonus

    and Neishy, I remember that race well mate.....epic!! You hit the wall into turn 1 on lap 38 and your car flew straight up into the air. I was right behind you and went clean under your car. That gave me a little gap on you with 2 laps to go and you were clawing your way back right up to the flag. One of those races you never forget.

    Same as a few of us it seams. I too met Carn in open lobbies which was pretty lucky as we mostly raced in private rooms. Best thing I ever done, great community and well run league with the fastest of drivers, really improved over the season just trying to get my lap times within seconds of the top guys. Having my first season off since season 2 but will be watching all the action from the forum and look forward to the race summaries you guys will be posting up.

    Found it when I was looking for a wheel stand, and saw a review from someone from raceonoz at the pagnian website.

    I used to browse whirlpool all the time and saw the startup thread for gtloz. Did 4 seasons of gt5 before the practice hours became too much for me to be at the level of competitiveness I wanted to be. Switched to iracing and now just race when I have a block of spare time.

    This site is a testament to Justin and carn, at the start we only had one or two moderators. Justin always working in the background improving the forum without really participating in it. Looking back it was Carn's promoting that made a whole lot of people join. I only managed to bring in one or two people. At the beginning I was really enthusiastic about improving the stats and results side of things, starting up the wiki that we had until it was lost.

    Now I mostly lurk around :)

    I just joined a random aussie lobby and stucar (stuart1711... something.... sorry m8) and I think VENDALISM and Aussie_man were in there plus a few others that I cant remember and I had 1 race and it was awesome. At the end stucar invited me to join the league and after a few hiccups with getting banned thinking I was a spammer or something I was finally on, qualied just in time for season 10, and now in the final round I'm in with a shot for div 4 champ!! This is an awesome setup because in a random room, there are no repurcussion's for bad sportsmanship. I love it and have recommended it to all my GT5 psn m8s.

    I heard the website mentioned in a YouTube video review of a steering wheel stand from Pagnian Imports.

    You're welcome bj. I'm not around here much any more because I moved to Europe, and the new timezone means it is tough to be online at the right time each week.
    That, and I think I left my GT5 disc in a box at my parents' house, which is now 20,000km away. :mad:
