It's not always that easy. They need permission to scan the cars they want to use, and then they need the time to create the cars. I think i've seen quotes of about 6 months per car. You can imagine how big their team is in order to achieve this.

AFewBricksShy: Jun 19, 2003; of a full load.

I think things will pick back up tomorrow when the new cars come out.
I'm going between mw3 and forza now, but I'm not sure what I'm getting for Christmas.

I don't know if I am going to be on enough to be in a new club (I'm the head of Gish) but add my gt as a friend and I'll happily get in on some goon racing. Gt is the same as my sa name.

Also, would using a meta tag be worth it for those who are only sporadically playing? It won't waste any space in a club, and would still allow invites to go out to other goons.

Alright, so I've got an Evo VIII juiced up for the GoonSpec race on Wednesday. Any idea what my PI should be around or close to?

Jabs - Also, when you say Long Reverse for the track, I'm assuming you mean the Full Circuit Reverse, correct?

Thanks to all the SAEG goons who joined my lobby for some racin' Sunday morning. I had a great time. I even made a few forza monies.

GT is Captain Howdy 0 if you forgot. I work second shift and like to stay up ridiculously late so that's why you guys see me on at odd hours for a guy in North Carolina.

See you soon.

Putting race tires on the Raptor gives it enough traction to literally pull it's own wheels out from underneath itself in most corners.

I propose a stock race, but setup the car as though it had a 1300 crossflow in it.

That is, raised as high as possible and the softest springs known to man.

Sounds good to me, I should be able to host from about 7/7.30pm GMT - was able to host up to about 9 people on Sunday, not sure if it's my network or other peoples that caused weird lag when there were more in the lobby.

This was talked about a while back but I think it really is only cars from that era due to trans am racing, rally, and touring/lemans stuff from that time.

What I'm going to do instead of joining AUGR is just friend everyone on the forzagoons googledoc. I'm sure LLJK will come back to life once everyone beats skyrim and gets tired of MW3 public games.

My GT is Black03Marauder and I'm sending you (YES YOU) a friend request.

That's the same place I started when I got the game. Have fun with the 100 friend limit! :smith:

Yep. There is a friend limit. Also, going that route means you don't have access to a club garage, which can be both a curse, and a blessing.
It's not too hard to get on a couple people's friend lists and get invites, if a club isn't your thing. If you're around about 6pm MST, I'll add you to my FL, and shoot you invites when I'm around.

I'm with you, I've got too much emotional investment in the LLJK name to just cast it aside. It's part of my Forza identity, my rep. I'd totally trash my street cred if I jumped ship now.

Nah, I just hope that Deathgibs comes back some day and hands co-leadership off to one of us so we can have yet another actively managed goon club. The more the merrier I guess.

Thanks. I tend to go for the "Oh god, why don't I have any sponsors? I can't afford this loving racecar" liveries. I'm just not creative enough to come up with nice fancy ones.

I've got a couple real-world AIX liveries that I made in FM3 to use when the American Iron races roll around. I guess I'll just have to knock off the X if we're sticking with strictly AI. I haven't tried them on the FM4 models of the cars yet though.

One was actually for the #10 Tiger Racing Mustang, so I hope it works on the Cobra-R.
