Just doing some house cleaning of threads here....

The photoshoot night will be a A RUN-WHAT-YOU-OWN night. Buy the car in the game that's closest to the car you drive IN REAL LIFE and paint/mod it like your real life car. Then we'd do some purely fun races, record them, and then post the pictures after.


The purpose will not be to actually race against each other, but just to have fun and snap some cool photos!

That run what you own night sounds awesome, but there is not much close to my car on there!!

The idea would not be to race so much as a photoshoot.
IE
-McIntyre would grab a red Talon
-Joel would be in a green Civic of his car's year/model
-Since there are no E36's Paul would grab a white E46 M3
-Varga in a silver E46
-Kevin in a red Focus
-yourself in a blue Mustang
-Trevor in a green Mustang (I know you don't own it, but you drive it like you stole it)
-etc etc

As there're no rusty FB RX-7s, I'll have to get either an FC or one of the Cosmos. Or Maybe an FD, since I hate the FCs.

I could run around in my IROC Z as I used to have a third gen Z28 not long ago. Closest Mustang in design in the game would be the Cobra R I'm guessing, I don't think they have anything closer to the fox body.

Can I run the 320I touring car? It's the closest to mine!! I have an E46 M3 I can run as well.

If I paint a WRC Focus red...can I drive it?


It will be like a lapping day at AMP but without the monetary restrictions !

So Jason, you going to be running the Formula GT? Or the Ferrari F1? I think I know why SOMEBODY pick a run what you own

The PDI 100 cart would be closer, wouldn't it?

He just wants to beat Varga in his Prius!

PRIUS TC?

what was the title of that video..."In ma-Prius" that video is hilarious!!!

That is the first thing that came to my mind.....then sadness...I don't have the car anymore.......

But I did get 34 mpg with the M3..once... in whole weekend of driving..

1990 Laser RS (R.I.P 1989 Halloween day, 2,500 km)

The goal is to create the car so it looks as close to yours as possible.
So for Varga and Harrod it would be the E46 M3.

Yea Jay for the for IROC or the Cobra... either would be excellent.

I will be in the white/blue FGT and yes I'll weigh it down with 200kg and set it to 50% and will probably still be the fastest, but this isn't really a race, it's a photoshoot.

Cheers,

Hmm, pretty sure there is a Tornado red mk4 Golf so either that or a Cosmos Black E46 M3. I wish they had an E36 in the game, I think Forza does.

The best I could do after messing around for a little bit.

...not bad at all Scott...just remember to FOCUS the camera on the portion of the car you would like to show off and then adjust the aperture to allow the depth of field to focus the rest of the car.

Remember....you can move the camera to find a focal point and then reposition the camera to see the shot better.

This is a camera simulator as well...just keep trying new things !!

BTW this website lists all the cars in GT5
http://www.mygranturismo.net/carlist.ph ... 00&start=0

Looks like they have a BMW M3 '04 & a CSL model too!

Forza has a fox mustang too...

I have both but I will be using the standard '04 e46 m3 silver,

with 333hp, 1570kg, with comfort soft tires...that is 468pp

No mods whatsoever...still fun to drive....has the OEM wheels and looks just like my winter setup without the splitter.....

....Santa brought me an up grade for my playseat...a shifter mount...so now I get to use the real shifter and clutch assembly.

Sure would like to upgrade the pedal set to load cell's and dampers for the brake and clutch....thats what I dislike most of all...not having any "feel" in the brake pedal.

Thrustmaster just came out with a great shifter assembly....7 speeds + reverse !!

Does anyone have the 2000 Honda Accord Euro-R '00 and is willing to send it to me? It looks like that is the only car that I don't have in the game.

I think it would be fun to have a stock race and then a modified one.

The IROC-Z may be a closer thing to reality for me in the next little while, I may be trading the Mustang out for one...we'll see! Looking forward to running online again, a good mental break is called for after the holidays!!

Soooo...are we still a GO for this evening ???

I haven't driven the Focus for so long...maybe time for a few laps to clean up the rotors and scrub the tires.

what time are we aiming to do this? ill be on around 8 8-30 for a hour or so
