SeXy Sadie, a 1993 Nissan 240SX SE, built in August 93. She proudly wears a (not visible in this pic) 7-character Lucasfilm reference on her license plate. She's got a few areas of fading paint and some squeaks here and there, but she's still quick and reliable and every bit as fun with 186K miles as when I got her nearly-new at 43K.

Here we are dodging cones on a Saturday afternoon.

THE FAN EDIT CONTEST HAS A WINNER !!! REVIEWS IN OFF TOPIC FORUM

Like ADM and Dickey Betts, I was born a ramblin' man, but I'll try to keep this at least semi-brief.

Thank you immensely to Dayv for devising and administering this contest, and to all the folks on the judging panel for all the hours they spent looking at each of the entries and deciding their merits. Thanks also to ADM for starting a project that lit that spark of inspiration in my head.

I freely admit that I haven't gotten to see a good many of the fan edits that have reared their heads around here, but those I've watched tell me something about the editors: they're creative and smart of course, but also stubborn perfectionists. If adding or extending a scene improves the movie as a whole but causes a contradiction or WTF moment somewhere else in the story, it's easy to let it slide. You guys don't. You try to find a way to make it work, and tweak it until it's right, or at least as right as it can be.

The same goes for the cover artists. I'm continually surprised by people on this forum who come up with completely original ideas as well as new spins and nth-degree refinements on classic stuff. I've seen guys who started out with good ideas but crude skills grow to put out very good work, and folks who started off showing very good work get even better. I consider myself blessed to be in the company of such creative people, and I'm honored that the judges saw fit to recognize my work.

Thank you again, and I hope to share more stuff in the future.

Nope, on all three counts. Back in the days when my family had a C-band satellite dish, I used to watch CBC's broadcast of the BBC feed of F1 races. The coverage was better than ESPN, and I learned about zed, Tim Horton's coffee, CFL and Hockey Night.

Laserdisc Conversion?

LaserDiscs can't be "ripped" in the same way as CDs and DVDs can, because only the audio is digital. Therefore, you have to capture the analog video output and digitize it. If your LD player has a digital audio output (most mid-level and higher models do), you can capture the PCM (and I'd imagine AC-3 or DTS, if applicable) bitstream, but I don't think it can be done any quicker than real-time.

Wow. I'd say if a sport is accessible to all but 65 people on the face of the entire planet, that's pretty darn good availability.

I REALLY hate it when this causes you to miss an hour of 24.


I hate it when the IR emitter falls off the front of the DirecTV box, causing my PVR software to record three hours of Olympics instead of "24" and the A1 Grand Prix.

I also hate that I'm not compelled to watch bobsled and downhill right this minute, so I now have no excuse not to go outside and work on my car.
