Funky, do you have a spare Punto I can borrow?

Funky, do you have a spare Punto I can borrow?

I think I do, and if anyone else is short, I have put out some pleas in the general trading post.

Also Tombrookes is removed from the driver list.

Right on. And I'll keep cycling the UCD to see if I can find one.

I might have an spare, will check for it later today

funkyducks > i am pretty sure that you can remove Bashman from the driver list, as he was about to sell his GT5 copy last time i talked to him, but could be wrong, so maybe an PM to him will clarify if his in this or not 👍

 

[Furinkazen]

And Bash has gone.

I will try to follow up on this.
I also got a Punto with thanks to TOCA legend Furinkazin, so I will hit it out to whoever wants it.

In other news, I would like a steward to help with racing incidents, anyone interested please let me know.

5PM is too early for me - I won't be able to commit. Sorry.

 

[funkyDucks]

Early by how much?, we might be able to comprimise if it means more cars on the track.

 

[AnTiheLT]

So we can tune the car as much as we want, just max 166BHP right ? And will ABS be on ?

 

[funkyDucks]

Sorry I forgot to add that. Just let me check my own car first to see what mods you need.
ABS Will be on.

Thanks for the Punto, Funky. But dang, you need to take better care of your cars. The oil was black in that thing and it had a horrible rod-knock. I had to completely rebuild the engine.

Thats Furi's. I didn't even redeem the ticket,just straight from him to you.

Hahaha, it all makes sense now.

 

[AnTiheLT]

How many are confirmed to drive tomorrow ?

 

[Toyinster]

8PM GMT or later would be best for me. See what the general concensus is - thanks.

 

[lampadione]

While 5PM is maybe early for me, I'd say 8 is perfect.

Oh, my car only get 163bhp with those specs. I'm currently running it in to try to fill the gap.

Try an engine rebuild and oil change if running it in doesn't work.
About the time I can race later so if everyone agrees then we will start later

 

[funkyDucks]

I have made my decision. We will race at 9.30pm. Room will open shortly before that.
