NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Don't leave G T 44444444444444

Hahaha!!!

I got a better plan... why not learn how to drift???

Ha-Ha

Thruth is I am working towards a real life racing car so I'd probably end up playing V8 Supercars if only to learn the Australian tracks and F1 for when I 'make it big'. GT4 would be more for fun and to build race fitness by doing the endurance races in one sitting over and over...

OK, I admit it sounded better when in my head than it does written down

Congratulations Mr Slow!!

When you first started this challenge I didn't think you'd get away with spending so little money. I would love to see these posts of yours linked in an archive somewhere on the GTP main GT4 page for all to see - they deserve it.

Again, well done.

Thanks Somebody, I have already started working on a 'cookie cutter' version of it which I think would be more appropriate for an FAQ/Archive as it is more on the strategy side than on Scrooge's mood swings!

AHAH!!! cooool.

What kind of racing you thinking of? Have you done any IRL racing before, or been on a track before?

I race a Mazda RX2 Capella in a full modified class, it's SOOOO much fun!!!

I have been going to track days for almost 3 years now and it is the reason I am working on getting a dedicated track car and eventually racing.

I have seen the pics of your RX2... fully sick!

Ah, the fun of Wakefield Park turn 1 flat out or the Oran Park flip-flop. I've got to get back on the track one day.

You got to 100% in the time I went about 15%.

 

[Mr.Slow]

You got to 100% in the time I went about 15%.

Do you mean to say you got to 15% in 5.5 months?

You have??? lol, where, I don't think I've posted any? lol...

I been racing it for 3 years now and recently modified it to a full modified spec... Looks more like a porsche than a Mazda now, hehehe lol...

Racing is so much fun, the competition, the close driving... About 2 months ago I cliped wing mirrors with an old Datsun coming out of a high speed 3rd gear sweep... scary stuff, but very exciting.

 

[Mr.Slow]

You did post the 'before' pictures in a thread here at GTPlanet. I can't remember but I think you also posted the 'after' pictures (or at least threatened to do so).
