    Your Hometown...

    I'm curious to know: Where does everyone on these boards live right now?

    If you can, please try to post a couple of pictures. Not too hi-res, of course, but so we can take a look

    Here's Horseshoe Bay, which is basically where I live in Vancouver: (I posted this elsewhere before)


    Another shot of nearby: (Horseshoe Bay is just over the big near hill... you'll recognise the mountains in the background from the above photo)


    Nearby, in the Garibaldi Mountains:


    About an hour's highway drive from where I live is the nearest racetrack, Mission Raceway:


    Sorry about the big ugly watermarks on the photos...

    My hometown is Brasília, capital of Brazil. I took this picture about a month and a half ago, that building is where our Congress and Senate are.

    Would it be possible, to play forever?
    The conclusion reached was that a player is inevitably doomed to lose.

    I think I've been there, is that not the place where one of the ferries leaves for Vancouver Island?

    so here is Rozenburg, home of this site. (The local community website protects pictures, but the map could be downloaded)
    In left centre of the map you'll see the "volgerweg" when coming in from the south, turn left at the first crossing, and then follow the road until there is a 90 degree right. If you have reached that you have gone 20 metres too far.

    That's the place... Seems like you've been everywhere!

    By the way, I fixed your quote For some reason it wasn't working.

    Not everywhere unfortunately, see Salvador above. The airport of Sao Paolo is my only Brazilian experience and we could not even leave the plane.
