I run a standard resolution of 1024 x 768 and the list is still too wide. The font sizes are still rather large. Can you make 'em smaller or move the columns closer together?

[EDIT] It's good now!



Moving the columns would be a lot of work since it's just text formatted with spaces. At this text size it's kind of hard to read now. It's been a long time since I've used a resolution as low as 1024x768, so it never even crossed my mind that it would be an issue.

It's fine on my monitor, but seriously, how often is anyone going to need to read that posted list?

For anyone who has a problem with it (or who really wants to study it in detail), it's pretty easy to click on your earlier links and see the lists in their full glory.

Anybody too lazy to click a link may read it, but other than that it's just redundant. At least if those links die there's a copy here.

I didn't even know what this car was 'til I saw one yesterday participating at the autocross. Have a look at it here...

It's quite a car!

I was curious as to what a VW Fox GL was (a car which was just slightly faster than me yet slower than Patrick yesterday) and came across this. It turns out that's a website dedicated to that exact same car that was there yesterday. Looks like he's in a similar situation with something like 80-90 HP.

My buddy at BCIT has a Fox, it's awesome. Weighs about as much as my left shoe. On a full tank of gas.

Yeah Patty, that GTR is pretty attractive, and definitely fast (Although I dislike the fact it was given the Skyline designation in Japan).

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

Considering that this very light 2160 lb VW Fox GL also has a more efficient SOHC engine, I think we smoked him with our heavier Fieros and old school dukes.

Can you perhaps make the font smaller?

[EDIT] Okay, that works. Thanks!

Works well for me, happy with 52nd overall and 2nd in my class out of 18

There are also brand new 24's on sale at NCIX for 189

Brian, you might want to edit your last post and correct the quote. As it stands now, it looks like it's me who's proclaiming my satisfaction of being in 52nd place overall.

Not interested. That would pay for five autocrosses.

Sorry, I was 56th, Pat 82nd & Colby 83rd out of 88 drivers...

Geez Brian, you're still having a heck of a time with those quotes.

If I drove the 914 that day I'd have probably come in 55th.

Ah, I suspected that might be part of the problem.

Don't worry, I'm just teasing you. Much like Allan is now doing.

I was playing around with a paint program I've never used before called... Paint

This is an image that I posted earlier in the thread, minus the effects. This is kind of fun.
