Apparently I'm the one people think sounds like... everyone I guess?  I heard people discussing issues at the start, so I was merely trying to question whether or not to restart myself.  Someone mentioned the loss of qualifying if we did that, so I *suggested* that if someone wrote down the order it wouldn't be an issue and that I myself was in fact down for a restart if there were issues.

I guess all my questions/suggestions sounded official sounding, and if that threw anyone's race, I sincerely apologize.  I was just trying to figure out/confirm what was actually happening before I hit start/exit and found out I was the only one who bailed, and lost any chance of decent scoring.

From now on, I will simply keep my mouth  :-X and keep driving and assume everything is a go unless I'm personally affected by something which I feel warrants me ASKING for a restart, in which case I'll make sure it's definitely a "hey, this happened, can I get a restart" as opposed to "Hey, are we restarting?"

I think part of the problem is not everyone has a mic, so if something affects them, they can't ask for a restart on their own behalf or voice what just happened. Since we're all so friendly here we usually try to look out for each other and if someone notices an issue with someone else we speak up for them...  Unfortunately without anyway of knowing if they felt it was a bad enough issue to stop or if it just looked bad and they'd prefer to keep going...

Again, wasn't trying to trick or fool anybody, better my position, or anything like that.  I was simply trying to figure out if it was time to pause and exit or keep driving.

Aside from that, I had a pretty good race, decent amount of time spent seeing other cars which was fun.  Now if only I could get faster...

It's just one of those things that happens Phreak, no worries.  I think I'd heard mention of restarting, then you suggested writing down the order, I think I then asked if we were actually restarting and it all seemed to go a bit quiet.  Not sure if my connection was lagging at the time or not as it seemed like half the field took off and half didn't, then I think it me and Charlie and Agent puttering along at the back.

I think I made it about a lap around and got discoed right off the PSN so I was done for either way :).  These things happen, nobody's fault, like that disco song goes.. we gotta move on, I mean would talk about it, talk about it, talk about it oooh wheee, but we gotta move on.  Oh won't you take me to Funky Town?

You can run as a sub if you want.

If Charlie feels like driving, then Team Tres Hombres is back. Otherwise, I'll run as a sub.

OK, MX5 is back in the Texas Trio.
