I highly recommend everyone take a Dodge Ram into a public lobby and laughing as all the pubbies try to make you crash but just bounce off harmlessly. Definitely upgrade the handling, that thing does NOT turn.

I like you!
Here's my first contribution to the LLJK Club Garage and my first ever painting/decal attempt. It's a zippy little A-Class Trueno (swear it's my favorite car so far). I'll probably bump it up to S-class once I unlock all the parts.

Seems like some DIY project your dad conjured up for his old high school beater, thinking it would make him look so cool.



I want to add this eyesore to the club garage:



But I take it you can't put cars bought at auction into your club's garage? I bought a few sweet things with the idea that they'd go to use for LLJK, but every time I try to add an auction car I get an error telling me it's "currently locked." Any idea how to get around this or is it a feature?

I was more than glad to get it for 120,000 at auction. But it looks like it's made of Sour Patch Kids and hi-lighters.

WISH I COULD SHARE WITH THE CLUB.

Hey guys! I'm having a good time, what about you?


Look what you've done, Forza. You had to go and throw money at me to the point where I didn't know what to do with it and now look what happened.

e: on a related note, stage 3 weight reduction for the Hummer takes off 2k+ lbs. It's like I've removed an entire car from this behemoth.

This game.

Had a fun hour and change with the GTCC group, and then went after some of the rival challenges. Built a ringer Miata just for the C class at the Nurburgring and ended up with a 33rd fastest time.

Anyone know what tricks you have to do to get connected to lobbies? I never had this issue in FM3 but when I tried connecting to some lobbies tonight I got the whole "Connection Error" thing. I'm pretty much a horrible newbie when it comes to networking so something more than "Open up your NAT" would be appreciated :D

Oooh that gives me hope, I was anticipating my copy arriving yesterday as they shipped it on Monday. Finger crossed for it arriving today.

Although the post probably won't show up until 10 minutes after I leave the house meaning I'll have to wait until tomorrow to go and pick it up from the post office myself :britain:

Ive spent way too much time dicking around with cars and very little time actually racing. But Ill get my act cleaned up soon. Right now i'm just enjoying creating my friends cars in the game and making them wallpapers. Heavily modifying econoboxes, trying to find good deals in the auctions, and looking at ridiculous designs in peoples storefront.

Is that for US goons or are you in Europe? If it's the latter, I'll be forming the EU group as soon as I get the game. Which will hopefully be within the next hour or so.

Me @ your poasting

Been playing multiplayer with friends for 4 solid hours.

Love this game, really surprised how the lap times are slower, probably because of the new tyre physics and the fact we were racing stock cars.

Just drive the XB Falcon around the Top Gear track. Loved the exhaust note on it, exactly like a big port 351 :australia:

Sunday Punch: When I picked up the game from GAME, they mentioned it was cheaper than what I preordered it for, so gave me credit at their store for the difference.

If it says the car is locked then it had vinyl groups that are locked on it, you'll need to remove those before you can share it. Kind of annoyed me that I couldn't put the Blundervolt into the club garage until I removed the Top Gear license plate vinyl from the back.

I hope this update fixes that sporadic flickering problem we were having in multiplayer yesterday.

I havent made it into multiplayer yet other than rivals, but the sense of speed is spectacular, and so far to me the biggest noticeable change from 3. I love the way most of the cars when you get them from the level rewards is as close to a pi level as possible so i can just jump in and race. It makes my races against the cpu more competitive because if I build the car up its game over.

My A-class Stingray is rediculous fun to drive, and it is in the LLJK garage, as is my fabulous Chevy Spark. After I build up the garage a little more and at least have a car in every class I like I will hop on some multiplayer this weekend and do some goon racing.

Yeah, while there's a lot I really love about this game, this is so far my favorite part. I can be just as competitive in a heavy, burly muscle car as I can be in a nimble little Ferrari or an AWD Subaru, and that's AWESOME. And I don't even like muscle cars!

On a totally unrelated note, the Esprit is a loving baller car and everyone should own one and drive one any chance they get.



Just look at those sexy, sexy machines. LOOK AT THEM.

Loving racing the the LLJK crew. I don't even want to know how many hours I've wasted these past few days. However, we really need to clear out our club garage. There's just waaaay too much stuff in it.

The club garage should be for precisely tuned, unique, and/or otherwise hilarious vehicles. If there is a vehicle very similar to yours in there already, maybe reconsider sharing it.

I tend to have the opposite problem, voice chat is so loud that I have to turn everything else up to hear anything over it.

And the most of the racing music sounds almost exactly like that trashy pseudo-techno stuff from racing games of the late '90s, so I can't help but like it. Except those couple tracks that are trying to be dubstep and failing horribly, that is.
