[Legendary]

Shut up you. I knew that

 

[Dragonistic]

I'm gonna change my car for the cruise, scratch the firebird I'm bringing my drift spec RX7

 

[danjama]

hey i would like a part in this cruise but all my cars are pretty crap at the moment. Add me, im danjama. I think ill drive my Focus.

 

[Turbo Lag]

Me - 70' Challenger
Dragonistic - RX7
Legendary - 69' Camaro
Jonesy - Camaro Concept (or DUB version)
Christhedude - Audi RS4
Robin. - 69' Camaro
Paulie - 69' Camaro (Hopefully)
jswilli1 - Ford Boss 302?
danjama - Ford Focus

I also decided to aim for the R8. Right now, I have tapped the controller down to Nitrous into the river.

 

[Legendary]

Screw it, If everyone wants to bring tuners, I present you my eclipse on whatever day it is.

 

[Turbo Lag]

I don't really care, anyone who wants to change cars can just post here and change. The list isn't really for what car people are coming in, rather an attendance list.

 

[Paulie]

If anyone's interested in TLD cars..........

Don't even start.

I found a map, I worked out a good place for everyone to meet. The red is the place, it's a multistorey carpark, wait at the top. One by one, we'll need to invite all our guys to the same game. From there I think we can go along the beach and on the highways, then we'll turn off or whatever. Maybe you guys can draw a line on this map and let's see if anyone can come up with a good route.

I will meet at the start then just follow the leaders.

I will come in my '69 Camaro unless I unlock the million dollar deal and pay for it before the cruise starts, then I might be in a GNX.

Edit: Just to be clear, you only have to beat your time trials twice right? I.e. do the time trial 3 times then it's permanent? I've done the Boss 302 time trial twice now, waited at the finish with some 10-20sec to spare each time.

Yep. Beat 'em all 3 times each, and they're done.

 

[Turbo Lag]

And you'll win the car too.

Screw it, If everyone wants to bring tuners, I present you my eclipse on whatever day it is.

3 tuners and 6 muscles before that swap, it's hardly all tuners, although now with that Eclipse it's 4-5. I'm just representing my favourite driving style by bringing a drift car I'll likely be driving rather slowly and manji drifting across the roads. As long as this doesn't turn into a giant race, I'm happy, but I'll bring an extra car with the same appearance that is fully tuned performance wise just incase the pace picks up.

 

[Paulie]

Not happy, not happy at all. I lost my Camaro DUB in a pink slip race. I also hate wager races, by the time I win I've lost more money than I earnt or only just get back to even.
So now, in order to progress I've gone and sold half the cars I'll never ever use to raise enough money to buy a Corvette without losing money. Hopefully I can use this to win a Challenger DUB and Mercedes DUB, it should have more than enough speed.......

This wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't still under $300k and saving for the million dollar deal when ever the hell that's meant to come up.......

 

[Christhedude]

Happy new year to you too!

Check this out, I've gotten a planner now. The cities are close enough I guess, have a look for yourself and let's see what time we can come up with.

so turbo lag, whats our status? when are we gonna meet? i'm bored these days and friends are gone, so yalla, lets get online!!

Chris

 

[Paulie]

Yes, I'd like a date and time if possible. Even though I won't be satisfied with what I'm driving. By the way, are we going to make this a cruise where we just slowly putter down the road? That'd be awesome.

I'm just over 50% now by the way.

Edit: I also fund out from looking at possible mods on the Z06 I won't be able to make a TLD-R race car look-a-like out of it, so I guess I will make a Grand Sport out of it.

 

[danjama]

yea time and date please!! im looking forward to it, i had a good cruise last night with some american lads.

 

[RUFin]

I'll join with my 69' Camaro.
Turbo Lag,are we gona see any 'street racing' around that highway junction?Just as a spectator?

Well I'm going to be giving a drifting demo up and down the carpark until we get moving

That's why I turn off autosave before I race for pinks. Usually I also put the wager races on the easiest setting.

 

[Legendary]

My 69 camaro drifts well with the way I set it up, the eclipse cant drift at all because it is FWD...Maybe I will take out both.

Also, please make it a cruise at like 50km/h or something with an occasional race poping up along the way.

Yep, we'll see you drifting up and down the place as we meet.

Trust me, it's harder than it looks. I know from experience.


Anyway, about the cruise, I'm ok with any date, you guys tell me a date and I'll set up. I think it's better if I make a thread about it, it's hard to compile the info here. Check back to the PS3 Forums and it'll be up.

How do you avoid the police chases? They are pretty damn annoying since all I want to do is race, at least with the NFS chases you can make a couple of quick turns and the chase it over.

Watch for the blue triangles on your radar map, also listen for the beeping of your radar detector. If you get in a chase just pull over and pay the small fine. If you get in a chase head for long staights and floor it, go for the freeways and you can lose them pretty quick.

 

[Joey D]

Alright, sounds reasonable enough. What's the best way to make money? Right now I'm only netting like $350 a race or something. I just started out and have the Scirocco.

 

[Legendary]

Also, when you hear the bleeping, hold the accelerator at around the speed limit, that will activate cruise control which helps maintain legal speed. You cant let off the accelerator though, you must keep it held at that fraction.

Don't bother with money now. You'll get about 10k/highway race later on.

I wouldn't worry about making money at that point. Just make your way through the races. You earn more the further you get. Also, spending money on visual mods is pretty pointless unless you want to show off your ride to someone else or yourself I guess.

 

[Joey D]

I like the visual stuff, I've done a couple things to the Scirocco. I just had the Group 2 cars open up as well and I'm trying to figure out which one to get. I sold the Camaro and Datsun I won and have $20,000-ish right now which is good for just about any of the cars sans the RX-8.

 

[Turbo Lag]

 

[Legendary]

I love doing visual mods, can't stand rubbish looking cars.

^^Mind explaining what that is? I know the car and all but is that 4 people or some editing or what. I dont get it.

 

[Turbo Lag]

We had a meet-up. Is pretty fun.

 

[Dragonistic]

The S600 Mafia ran those streets tonight, complete obliteration of those who crossed our paths was unneccessary, but satisfying. Seriously though, drive round in 4 black S600s at a slow speed and you become both a beacon and target to guys on LA, so we defended ourselves with no mercy.
