[suarez7]

Spending 7 weeks trying to get the FGT and trying the 24 hours du mans with my friend in it.....FORGETTING IT HAD NO LIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!

Was racing the 750PP real circuit seasonal in my 747B, about to take first place at Spa on the straight just after the wobbly bit. Accidentally hit the handbrake and sent my car smashing into the walls.

Haha I didn't know Boeing ever made a Le Mans car.

That's hilarious!

I accidentally pressed restart twice 2h 40 into the 4h roadster challenge.

Same here with the old update if you click on restart there was no " yes or no" option. Enoyed me to hell.

I done it in the end

English is a wonderful language. It would be even more wonderful if you'd use it halfway properly in your posts.

Come on.. cut him a break. Don't be so critical.. GTplanet is a site with an international member community after all and as such English may not be his first language,

He lives in the UK, he's currently in college, and the AUP requires good grammar. I can understand a few mistakes, but he sounds like a 5 year old.

Yeah.. Now I understand. I never bothered to check.

 

[proud aussie]

i accedently pressed the restart button four and a half hours into the 24h nurburgring

 

[spikeyhairdude]

My bad on my English. Was in the middle of lesson in college. Plus I have forgotten how to spell a few words.

 

[Umbra344]

I did do something silly recently. I turned on my ps3's power-save settings and I forgot about it. Toward the end of the day I turned on B spec 9 hours of Tsukuba and I hoped it would run all night, but it turned itself off.

Finally after about 2yrs of ignoring it I spent an hour (stupid Elise) on the Top Gear challenge thinking I was going to win the Stig outfit

I also constantly hit the O button instead of triangle after a high res photo is done processing

Those pictures take an insanely long time to process.

You're not kidding. Especially when you have to do it a second time lol

 

[TF GT1 01]

It wasen't as bad as some of the others but I was doing 24hours of nurb and 19houres through....
POWER CUT!

One of my friends wanted a Mitsubishi GTO...I accidentally sent them an FTO.

 

[pritchardqs]

It's my first day playing GT5.

Someone gifted me a Subaru 360 and I won the prize car on the Sunday Cup, and almost started freaking out since I couldn't see either them in my garage.

I didn't notice there were tabs on the side for premium and standard. I was like 15 seconds away from making a thread on here crying about my game being broken or something.

Have a scroll through the Gran Turismo 5 forum starting in about June 2011. There's so many threads on that. It seems it was a mistake everyone was making. Mine was playing with a tuned Fiat 500 round a friends and begging him to send me one for when I started playing the game. Only to have him send me a stock one and me spending ages trying to work out where I was going wrong.

How on earth...?

Skills.

 

[The Flex]

I cant drive with Formula One cars..Too fast for me. Other than that Im a great driver.

 

[R5]

Skills.

This is actually a good point. You are a very talented man

This car is vastly different from the Kubelwagen...it SUCKS. The weight balance (even though it says 50/50) is all over the place, and the balloon suspension doesn't help much.

 

[ZR1fan]

It's a German WWII amphibious Militvary vehicle.. Of course a snail is going to beat it to 60 and it's going to have all the handling prowess of a sack of potatoes... That being said, offload it is very Likely it will leave every car in the game impaled on boulders.

 

[Dan]

Schwimmwagens are kinda cool, but 400,000 HP X2010 chassis swaps are pretty cool too.

(Note: I never actually got to drive one of these, but I have seen one fly out of the map on Circuit de la Sarthe)
