Hello out there !!
14 June 2000.
My name is Nuuna and I´m not a long time here yet. Not familiar with these kind of terminals. Isn´t it funny that they do nothing by thinking of them? O.K., than I have to do it the old-fashioned way. Wanna use this as a knowledgebase.

First time on the streets. Have to find out, how this speeders work. Got one. First few times was hard. But then I got the speedster running. It was a small one. It´s got a 911 on the back. Saw others with more than 3000! Gonna try them when I get along with this one.
First problem was, to find out how to increase and reduce thrust. They do it by feet. Even more funny, they have two different "Padles", which you have to force with power. But different. You mustn´t hit the left one, with which you reduce thrust, as hard as the right one, with wich you increase.
After about three hours I came along with it quite well. Drove out of the town to one of these highways. I thought it was one of this starting grids, from where you head of to different countrys or on the other side of the planet. I couldn´t imagine that they drive such distances.
I increased speed to 200 "Kmh". The machine run easy and I had a good feeling. Slightly I pulled the steering wheel to me, to pull of. It semmed to be locked. Maybe not enough speed I thought.
By increasing speed, the lock should be opened. At about 280 "Kmh" I pulled the steering wheel again. The Speedster got very nervous. But the steering wheel was locked.
I looked up through the windshield and saw a large bridge. So I thought that there was some kind of computer and then maybe a computer-interface. So I changed to autopilot by clicking the Triangle and watched under the console.
Woke up next to the machine. It was totaly smashed. Something must have hit us very hard from the left side. I couldn´t see anything. Must be more attentional next time.
By for this. Check back.
