You're right, get it turned on when you get home, there is a big update waiting for you and the game will likely need an update too.

Might not be able to make it at 7 (cali time). Gf's dad is in from Az might be having dinner at that time.

Not sure of the times yet but hopefully I can still make it.

I dare say we'll go for a couple hours, besides, just cause I go to bed doesnt mean you guys on the west coast should stop. Get there when you get there. Looking forward to it, i was on last night, came last every time. Car is a nightmare.

Great, then I'll be there. I thin the btr is pretty manageable tuned properly. The ctr though... an absolute axe murderer!

I can't imagine it's that bad in real life. I think it's more the fact that a rear engined rear wheel drive car is such a strange concept to the Japanese where it's all front engined front wheel drive.

I'll be there in my mexico blue btr. Did you know you don't get the colors from Ruf cars like you do other cars : ( I really wanted to paint another car that blue but you don't get the Porsche paint colors.

I'll watch out for you. My weapon of choice is a deep red ctr. At 500pp its possible to do a half lap without coming off, any more than that though and it gets tricky. It just wants to kill you at every corner. In reverse.

For your BTR, do you have the wing on top of a wing modification?!!?

Cool, this will be interesting, those things are a b!tch to drive right off the used car lot....tuning and mad skilz are key.

are we doing a PP limit? Will this be open to all PS3ers or just Pelicans?

carrerajim is my ps3 handle. good reason to dust off GT5.

That was alot of fun. If you don't have a mic you should get one. I was more looking forward to talking with some of you than the racing, although the racing was good. Look forward to next week.

PS3 name - Mulsaan

Yeah I had lots of fun. I think it ended up about 50/50 pelicans vs other ps3 users, but for the first hour and a half it was just us! Takes ages to find anyone on line to race those cars. Looking forward to next week. Will bump the thread up. Might try tuesday next week, I'm not sure how I'll be set for wed. (Doesn't mean you guys cabt play on wed though of course).

Thumbs up Gt5

I am in for next week Andy. I bought another Ruf Yellowbird last night and tuned it. Sold my 1st one because it was so difficult to drive fast.

I haven't been able to buy one yet, keep looking in used cars. Am I doing something wrong?

Isn't there a yellowbird in the online dealership right now?

If not, I have a spare one. I'll send it to you next week as soon as I get connected up again.
