I thought sprinting was generally faster than Minecarts? Plus powered tracks take bare gold to make.

Ziplines. Whaaaaaaaa? Will they be faster than minecarts? I need a faster way to get around, but at the moment sprinting is fastest I believe.

I tend to go mining/farming whenever I've run out of ideas for things to build. Haven't had any ideas for a while. I now have many double chests in a storeroom under my house, 1 full double chest of coal, 2 of cobblestone, 2 of dirt, 1 of wood etc... I really need some ideas for something to build.

Anyone who gets his mate to advertise his business for him is not a business headed person. Non-business headed people cannot run businesses. People who can't run businesses are disorganised. Disorganised people will be shit with painting stuff and getting it posted back ASAP, sorting people out with shoddy work/refunds, and so on. Seriously, the dude is operating from a facebook page... He doesn't even have his own website, doesn't advertise his real name or anything. Does he honestly expect anyone other than his mates will take him seriously?

Assuming a lot with this post so could be miles off the mark... Stress? You're renovating a house right? Nearly killed my Dad lol. He's done two as well. Take a break. Sit in the garden with some cold beers and think about what you've achieved so far, be proud man.

I would happily let you on, but I don't have a static IP or a VPN, although I may set one up at some point. I have begun strip mining this morning...

It's going to be slower than W7, so I'm not touching it.

That's a lot of diamonds.. Anyone got any tips for diamonds? I have almost none on my server. Want lots. Where to mine to?

Wasn't being sarcastic lol, you genuinely strike me as a crafter.

It would indeed. How much do they cost? I'm comfortable enough with the server admin side of things but I ain't paying for the bloody thing... Could get a static IP and then just let you lot on my server, but I don't want you on my server. It's mine.

It's totally your thing Dan, knowing what kinda games you play and that, you'll love it.

Not strictly true, you buy an account, the game itself is free. It's almost impossible to pirate I believe. Download the demo. Play the demo. Spunk the £13 for the game. Lose thousands of hours of your life.

Are there fewer than 15~ people on there? If so I'm game. Can't stand servers with too many people. I play it on my own server lol, couple of my mates have played when they've been round here but I didn't like it.

Completely legal, you just can only use the normal engine to drive it anywhere. Drive to santa pod, anihilate everything (bearing in mind it has effectively 1000bhp and can use them all instead of relying on friction), then drive it home. It's the ultimate track day car! If you want to drag race.

I'm guessing, because he wanted a jet engined car with the equivalent of 1000bhp?

Xtreme stuff.

Wasn't so long ago that you were saying NA cars would die out altogether soon and turbo's would be the only solution? Although I think you were talking more in terms of big fast saloon cars using turbo'd V8s now rather than the 5 1/2+ litre V10s they've been using the last few years?

Good effort.

Now that is a mess lol. Is it just for engine donation though?

Doesn't matter what you're riding on to be honest, your style of riding and the style of bike just dictates how you get over obstacles IMO. Coming from a motorbike trials background I always found I felt "smoother" on natural sections on my Koxx Cheat Code (complete with BB drop) than I did on my Simtra ST-1.

If it's overheating it would have siezed lol. It'll just be the warm air making it run badly, engines prefer the cold I believe.

Does it smell as bad as I've heard they do when running on that stuff?

I don't have a car, but I want to talk about one I spend a lot of time in one, it's a Vauxhall Astra van belonging to my climbing partner. I've no idea which one apart from the fastest diesel. It does 30mpg+ even when you hammer it, 55mpg+ when you're careful, it does 130mph, goes faster than 95% of the traffic on the road, takes 4 people and lots of stuff in the back (being a van), handles surprisingly well for a van, and you can sleep in it at the base of the Cairngorm when it's -15C outside, and it works flawlessly. What I'm wondering is, is it the ultimate car? The best compromise of doing a bit of everything? I've been in it for 800miles in an 36 hour period once, and it's comfiest thing I've ever sat in. It's a van with lumbar support ffs. I really want a car at the moment...

Sounds very gay and zen, but it does help to get away from it all. I went away to Alderney a few weeks back, left my phone off the whole time, was bliss. If you're just feeling bored, make changed in your life! I'm driven/made happy by achieving things, so I kind set targets for myself all the time, like improving my climbing level, learning to cook new stuff, etc.

Tiredness is often caused by shit sleep leading from stress, which can also cause depression? Meh. Are you feeling stretched/stressed? Could just go on an old-school seaside holiday and sit on a beach for a week.
