At night. We need as many people as possible in the room to get the 8,000 miles in free roam. Pays 5,000,000 credits when you hit it.

I need to friend all you fools so I can actually play online with real people haha. I joined the club and shared a bunch of my hoopties to the club garage.

I've gotten all discount signs and driven every road. I Iove free roam and would gladly do my part to drive 8k.

About what time does everyone get online? I'm in EST and my gamertag is DiRtySyNNeR.

Fun playing last night once we got to running around on some of the windier roads and doing some multiplayer cruise challenges. I can only do so many jumps on the golf course etc, before I start getting bored. As long as they keep coming up with new challenges each month then I could be entertained with the multiplayer for a while.

I dont realy have a set time that I am on, ever, but could probably commit to a time if we want to do a weekly GRM meet or something, my schedule is usually pretty open. Im also EST.

I have an A class Beetle which is a hoot and a fully upgraded EB110 which has 1500+ hp and can apparently do 260mph. I am getting an Xbox live account next month so I can join the fun.

How do you get pictures on to the internet? Do you have to have an xbox live account?

go to forzamotorsport.net

across the top of the page, all the way at the right, click the My Forza button.

It will probably prompt you to log in, you may need to create an account to link to your xbox gamertag if you havent done so already.

when you are able to log in, any time you upload a photo to your storefront in the game, it will appear here and you can download it. remove it from your storefront in game, it will be removed from the website.

I am not 100% sure, but you might be able to do this with a silver account.

Just for examples sake this is what the page will look like when you click the button "View All" photos, you just click the download links to save them to your computer. They are pretty adamant about not hotlinking from their site so rehost them elsewhere.

Yeah, jumping on the golf course got boring for me too.

I'll probably be on tonight around 7 or 8 or so. Be up for some challenge or impromptu street racing.

I hate hopper lobbies so much.

Get into an online street race, start racing, two Ford Raptors, a Skyline, and a partridge in a pear tree knock me into the nearest intersection. Oh, and no matter how much I like my Radical, I'm SICK of R-class races.

I'll just slip by them when they pile up in the next corner. I might give them a nudge to help it, but rubbing is racing, no?

I tried to like that car....really, I did. But the windsheild line across the center of my vision drove me nucking futs. I'll stick to the Hemi Cuda, Daytona Coup and '71 GT-R.

I love the old racers, my current commuter (ignoring the Bel Air for now) flops between this, the 250TR and the Daytona Coupe, all in stock trim and paint.

Atticus, how are you so damn fast? I'm trying to catch you in the Recaro Rush, but the closest I can get is within .3 seconds of you.

Sorry I sucked so bad tonight LOL... I didn't have a car in my garage to contribute anything worthwhile. I have confirmed a modded EB110 SS tops at over 270. I have shared it with the club garage.

And I found my headset/mic but I think it might be toast...

Lol thanks but I think it is due to me playing A LOT of dirt 3. I had some top 10 leader board times in that game in rallycross and I think the driving dynamics are very similar to Horizon although horizon is harder and less forgiving IMO.

My tips for being fast in dirt are:

  1. Slide as little as possible.
  2. use Sport (not Race) suspension for your off road cars. It helps A LOT on stability over jumps.
  3. offset softer springs with the stiffest swaybars. Use lower level sways to adjust over/understeer.
  4. race tires and low weight are my main two concerns for a off road setup. More power just makes it slide easier and wont be any faster.

That's all I got for now, can't wait for the rally expansion!

thanks for the rally tips, those are the events I am worst at, haha.

I am still wondering this mileage is somehow linked to your accumulated online mileage over time. I was in a lobby last night, a few people in the lobby had just a few hundred miles, mine was telling me I was at 1800 something miles. Why would our numbers be different? I need to try and check it everytime I am in multiplayer free roam and see if mine keeps climbing and climbing, because I cant figure out how mine was reading 1800ish. I know I havent driven nearly that much online .

For Atticus, just he doesn't skid out [usually ].
