If you like those, give the SL 65 AMG a go....V12 twin-turbo, can't go wrong.

My fiance slapped me with a double whammy - Bought me a ps3 about 6 month ago with GTA4, and now for my bday got me a Xbox elite with Forza 3 and Halo 3 : : Im one of the biggest Gran Turismo fans, after she heard me constantly whining about the forever to be released GT5 she decided Forza would be a great time filler which it's turning out to be. Only got it yesterday and have been trying to make as much money as I can so I can start modding some cars, at least the free play is awesome - the ability to race any car in the game on any track straight out of the box is awesome. Anyway starting to get addicted, gotta get my Forza fix....

dont get the arcade

It doesn't have a hard drive, no HD (and lets face it, you need HD)

also you really do need a hard drive

The Elite mate. If you get the arcade you will have no hard drive and then it would have been a pointless excercise. Considering the elite is about $100 more and has a 120gb hard drive and has a great game with it, I know which is better value.

shame about the tree... starting in first gear with full throttle isn't as fun. AWD Dato valve bouncing on launch is not as challenging as it should be

Drag racing could have been so much better, warming the tyres, having to stage. Red lighting. I do it to tune my launches with new cars but don't bother competing.

nope. just shapes and letters put together. there are some manafacture decals like the shell one in the game but logos like the vb one on the back i had to make with just simple shapes. takes ages

Great paintwork krt10. I was planning on doing that exact paint scheme.
The most difficult thing however, would be to make the real lettering that was used on the actual car. I did what you did a while ago in Forza 2 and used the fonts that came with the game. There are some freaks out there that accurately rebuild every square millimetre of the car. Just crazy.

Here are a couple random shots I have taken recently.

A completely random unfinished design

Mmmm deep dish!


Had to buy one of these and modify it.
Been my childhood dream car.




Some random shots of my favourite car to drive.

Audi R8 ofcourse



2 other random car shots
Banged up Lexus ISF and my subaru liberty

Some nice shots of the cars here. I just modded the SR10 viper with the nascar motor, and modded the Veyron so it now sits at 10 speed, 9.8 accel, 9.8 launch. But I still can't beat those datsuns. Also I am finding unless I really want to own a particular car in real life I am just modifying the ones I win for leveling up. I am level 30 atm bout to go 31.

Yeah my little brother is the same, he has close to 2 million and still doesn't buy anything. I buy random cars and do them up just for the fun of it, I'm at level 29.

krt10, that subtle change makes a big difference, well done. :

Im just modding cars that I win to the level required, I got my Gallardo and Datsun 1600 that I want to own in real life so now everything else is a let down haha I also have a habit of finding cars that drive really well and use them a lot and building up funds that way.
