I don't bother spending too long painting them, more time racing and crashing

Off roaders are great laugh, the Merc ML has over 1000bhp, and with no TCS it will drift forever

Cheers, the Merc was a 5 minute job too, download the McLaren sign and chucked on some black fades

I've got a nice drift video I will upload later

Its a laugh seeing how far up the laptime leaderboard you can get some old barge

Picture 1 Range Rover parked, and 2 other heading towards it in opposite direction at speed and they all meet at the same time

OK, not the best drift and I mess up the last corner, but you fget the idea.

Hi all, got a few questions. Ive always had Playstations (1, 2, 2 slim, 3 & PSP slim) & with the delay again in GT5, I want to try this.

# Wheres the best place to get an XBox360. Want the black one in a good spec, but only Forza 3 game.

# Where do you get these graphics from? Design them yourself or internet?

# Do you need to be online to play it?

# Can you get the Mk2 Focus ST in the game (same as my avatar)?

I will be using it in my living room my me new 32" LED TV with no internet connection. My PS3 is in my room with the internet & maybe in the living room aswell if i get more cables.

Thanks

Andy

I would goto your local gamestation to get an Xbox, they sell preowned with 12 month warranty - make sure you get one with a harddrive. The graphics u see are custom paint jobs that people online do, which u need to download. The Focus ST mk1 and mk2 are in the game.

yep, it has ethernet built in, or you can buy a wireless adapter, the graphics can be your own work, or can buy other peoples on the store front. I bought the McLaren logo for my merc, but add the shading and red lines on the grill myself.

its a circuit you download off the store front on xbox live called BENCHMARK which
includes the track in the pic which is like a ken block gymkahna type track.

when i bought my forza 3 it had a voucher inside it which you scratch off a panel and
type the code it reveals into the store front and it gives you the said track plus 1 called
sidewinder and 10 extra cars.

yeah, my mates from work, we're not interested in laptime, the rule is that the person in the lead has to wait and slow down the computer cars until we catch up .... and then theres a bit of rubbing

With the graphics, can you download them via PC, then transfer them via USB to the XBox?

Little bit more action last night.

Have found a new game mode "keep it clean" where you score points for causing crashes
