[Handlebar]

I may be a couple of minutes late. My wife is having the entire family watch Top Gear.

She is a huge fan girl for the Star inna crappy car, so... Be along when it finishes. Yes, she is taping it, too.

Did I say "fan girl?"

Wow,the spreadsheet is messed up.... The evo X is listed as MR, the camaro 69/tvr tamora/speed 6 are listed in double.

 

[tezgm99]

They're listed twice since they're available as both premium and standard, lol

 

[Handlebar]

Cool, Nick!

Rock on with the edits!

Honda MUGEN MOTUL CIVIC Si Race Car '87 - 453
Spoon CIVIC TYPE R (EK) '00 - 455
Honda CR-Z TC - 464

I really enjoyed last night - thanks guys!

I was wondering if the "tire handicap" was enough midway through the first race. I don't quite know why I brought the Focus RS to Indy Road, maybe just to get it out of the way. I was not surprised to be outclassed there.

The next three races went great - with having one grade of tires higher than you guys - I was able to generally either be in the middle/mix, or follow/being followed by another driver. It was kinda like racing! I think that works pretty well at the moment. If it becomes too much of an advantage, I believe it will be clear.

Great series.

Glad you had a good time. If I had made the first race you would have had me to race as I was going to run my focus there.

You mentioned enjoying the M3

$15k 100k miles

Now as long as you can deal with the $8k engine rebuilds and various other high cost repairs it should be a great car You can actually find them for about $12k now.

I will fix the spyker when I get home. I am pretty sure my countach's are from the OCD. I will double check but I do feel some cars get a bigger boost than others. Maybe it is an age thing.

Would the game really have been less fun if all cars just came with the max PP?

I was thinking that might be the case.

Sweet line up BTW. That RX7 is an incredible car.

 

[88GTA]

Well I have two 0 mile 88 Countachs. One has a PP of 512 with fresh oil the other has 517 with fresh oil. Needless to say the 517 is from the OCD. If you have broken in the car and only have 512 can you go refresh the engine and let me know the PP?

Thanks

Yea I will try the engine refresh when I get home from work today.

Owens,
I tried to pick the easy to drive fast cars, hence the R8 and RX-7. The Lambo is the question mark.
