As we have a couple of auto racing fans here, I think we should do a collaborative TL on especially this subject. We have sort of a similar project already going, with the "Alternate Formula One World Champions" thread. But I think we can take this a step further: May 13th, 1950: The beginning...

"Are you, or have been a member of the Democratic-Republican Party?" :cool:

Let me try to help out here. After all, the Katangian Gold Dollar is my creation. Although I'm also not that much an ace in economics, I'll try to make it work out. :D I'm gonna use the current prices for gold here, but obviously you may want to look up the gold prices of 1960's for your TL...

What is it with the Americans and Spanish using the term "Soviet"? It's a Russian word, which is in my opinion just kissing the Soviet's butt. What's wrong with the term "council" anyway? It's basically the same, isn't it? Maybe the term Soviet has a too negative image through the cold war, but...

Wow, that update made me look up Fred Rogers and damn! He really seemed to be the nicest guy in the history of the universe! I mean, did he have any flaws? Like, smoking a cigarette or drinking a light beer once a year? I guess Eddie Murphy absorbed all the flaws for his Mister Robinson parody...

I've got some questions about TV if you don't mind: Are there just PBS 1-n, or are independent broadcasters allowed? And how do Americans receive their programs? Terrestrial broadcasting can only go so far in a large country the UASR is. So I guess satellite will be big, perhaps even bigger...

Could this be some sort of salvation for American Open-Wheel racing? Probably not, as the decline was visible by 2001. Perhaps auto racing as a whole might cool down as a results of the double-deaths in NASCAR.

Yeah, what could possibly go wrong? It's not like Spiro Agnew might become president due to a deadlocked electoral college... Anyway, I'm gonna go with Scoop Jackson here. He seems to be a reasonable choice here.

I'll go with the SPD, because they were at least upright democrats during that era. They resisted the Ermächtigungsgesetz until the bitter end, unlike the Centre Party, which voted in favour of said law. :rolleyes:

And the video game. The one from Telltale Games. ;)

Let's see: Of course Nintendo has to implement a CD Rom drive for its N64. But while we're at improving the N64, why not have it 8MB RAM from the very beginning? Other than that, the N64 was pretty decent in terms of hardware. Nintendo should also be more embracing towards M-rated games. Even...

How much of a say will the government have in producing culture? Are they enforcing certain guideline in order to support their values, or do they give producers a free hand? And what about auto racing ITTL? I'm afraid it will be cracked down pretty hard, once ecology becomes a primary issue in...

Well, I checked the sources of the article you posted, and after a quick look over it, it seems to be allright. But I still prefer coal power over nuclear power, because emission from coal power go away rather quick, while nuclear waste still radiates after several thousand years. Besides, there...

Is there any reasonable source for that? Because this is the first time I hear something like that.

Nader actually seems to be a reasonable person (Judging by Wiki...). Gore is a hypocrite and thus a no-go, while I would vote for Bush if it wasn't for the tax cuts for the rich, as well as Iraq. BTW, I can't understand how people can argue in favor of nuclear energy. It produces deadly waste...

Can I preclaim 1999, 2010 and 2012? :D

How about The Terminator by Fritz Lang in 1927? :cool:

Nonsense, is was just glucose. The fact that many German players became ill, was because of non-sterile syringes.

Ayrton Senna He survives his accident at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix and completes the '94 and '95 season for Williams. Being more and more disgusted with the "Ecclestonisation" of Formula One, he goes to CART in '96. He finally retires in '99, and goes to Brazil to become a politician. But...

Come on, we need nine more votes for god...urm, I mean, Reagan. :D
