If you send a FR to PSN: Mike_5927 I can send you a Vanquish today.

 

[Racingworld68]

Smooth, FR send to both, thanks again guys.

I asume it would be preferable if you broke in the cars ? or is everybody starting with 0 miles on the counter ?

 

[mike 5927]

The Vanquish I sent you has 18,000 miles on it, but it still needs restoration (both engine and chassis).

Too add a bit of flair to my Brera I have painted it bright yellow with blue wheels. I don't normally go for such garish colour choices, but I think it looks quite good.

I just couldn't help being reminded of jackargent's Volvo Estate...

Thinking of painting my Avant like that.

You can, and some definitely will.
I know Zorrin has been breaking them in!

I think only my Chrysler & Vanquish have enough miles on them to be actually broken in.
I'm using one of the Jaguars from the OCD - which is pre-broken-in @ 0 miles.
I have a couple of the premium cars with 150+ miles.
And some only have about 50 miles.
And a couple still have 0 miles.

I have got all the cars needed thanks to Mike and Zorrin 👍
I am breakin' them in as we speak, looking forward to the first race

Tips for breaking in cars:

The B-Spec Endurance @ Grand Valley will put approximately 180 miles on a car. Should be enough for engine break in.

If you're like me though, and live in a household where the ps3 is in use much of the time for various entertainment purposes, and besides by me... you might not have such a chance to throw every car in there.
I did 2 of mine now with that, at bedtime. Though it's rare for me to have late night last dibs on the ps3.
And if I dared to start an endurance race at an inconvenient time, I would likely be in hot water. ha ha ha

So, I when I had some time doing other things, I took several of the cars and put them through a few times of seasonal Bspec events.
Good for accumulating credits as well. And suits & horns & paints. lol. And for recycling the UCD.

I found that most of these cars in the Luxury Mixer list are good for either the 500pp or 400pp race events, depending on adding ballast or using the power limiter in the case of 400pp and some cars in 500pp.

Note: I found that the Deep Forest & Fuji bspec events seemed to get done the quickest with the most amount of miles.
And the Cape Ring Inside bspec event mostly just made my bspecs unhappy. lol

So, now most of my cars have 50+ miles on them. Which is not enough to break them in. But it's given more hp than 0 miles. 👍

I see that you have put me down for the interest list 👍 . I should be able to attend on Thursdays and Fridays.

 

[GTP_J_Turner]

Put me down for this too. I have to check that i have all the standard cars and enough $£€ for the premiums. Also, i dont have a regular shift so i might just turn up on any night im free.

 

[james6653]

sign me up

 

[watermelon punch]

Welcome guys!

I see that you have put me down for the interest list 👍 . I should be able to attend on Thursdays and Fridays.

Should be easy to acquire these cars. All but 2 are in the NCD or OCD. 👍
Let me know when you do. Or if you need the 2 that are not in the NCD or OCD.

You're welcome to turn up to whatever ones you are available for...

My suggestion with buying cars & having the credits - start with one car from the premium dealership, and put it through the seasonal (aspec or bspec) appropriate for it to fit into. May have to add ballast or use power limiter to fit it in. But it will have the double effect of giving you more credits + putting some miles on the car for engine break-in. 👍

Welcome james6653. Do you have all the cars? And which schedule is likely to suit?

 

[Racingworld68]

Good news as I will be able to commit to the fridays aswell.

The only car i dont have is the Chrysler. Running through engine break-ins and hopefully it will appear in the UCD soon.

[Zorrin]

Forgot to say that I will be taking part in this afternoon's event.

 

[mike 5927]

Don't mind as I don't trade lots so I have many open slots.

Cheers mike thats what i was assuming.

@ gtp_j_turner.....fr sent. my chrysler has 4700 miles. do you want me to use a restoration ticket?

 

[watermelon punch]

Thanks guys for gifting cars. 👍
Just been busy with gifting cars for other races lately.
But I now have spares of all 4 standards, should the need arise.

I think I still have a couple of cars on the list that are 0 miles, and most of them are not fully broken in yet.
Worst part is, I somehow neglected to break in my Brera Sky Pig!!
It only has about 30 miles on it. So I'll likely be wallowing in the backmarker sty with that one. ha ha ha I likely won't be making it very high on the Brera Sky Window Overall leaderboard. (Not that I would have anyway. )

 

[dmihaylov]

In for tonight.
What cars will be used tonight?

 

[watermelon punch]

Get all the cars on the list, we hope to cover them all - though not everyone will get to drive them all of course, it will be a matter of chance.


We're in the MCRC_Lounge now 👍

Did everyone get their FRs in?

Or do we need to move to my lounge?
