You know when T10 fixes this, any cars you bought in-game from the May car pack will be unavailable until you purchase the pack (excluding the free car of course)? Sure it might be free for now, but not forever. Enjoy them while you can! Oh, and I wouldnt try making money off them in the Auction House or Storefront yet either. I'm trying to save future frustration problems for you guys.
We'll see. T10 gets credit for running a much tighter ship than they actually have...
Under UK law they have to let us keep them and this has happened to me a few times with avatar items, arcade gmaes etc ive never had any of it removed its microsofts fault for putting it up for free its not like we hacked it. It works the same way in retail if they under charge you they have to stop the transaction before money has changed hands soon as the money is in the till its too late.
Can you imagine the language that's going on in the T10 offices today?
Someone's getting a new hole tore.
I'd bet it's someone at M$ getting chewed out, if M$ is in fact responsible for access to the DLC via the marketplace.
The Season Pass never functioned as intened hence the "just download the free car," instruction/work around. They'll probably just flip the switch that allowed their lazy solution to work for SP holders, and not spend the time attempting to track down the few folks that did get the pack for free, by doing what has been an accepted practice for months...
Whatever the problem was, it didn't have anyhthing to do with the previous season pass. I had a couple friends that got the "free" pack that were not season pass holders.
I wish I would have read this before I spent the cash.
In game the pack was there and said free, but then when you tried to get it, the Xbox pop up said -1 credits then said I needed something like 500,000++++ credits to buy!
I just thought it was a market/T10 glitch and the dashboard had it correct. DAMN!!!! If only I looked online first!
Haha scored a free dlc serves those greedy bastards at t10 right!
Glad i did the cortina is a beast dirtt tuned will be releasing a d class tune in the next day or 2....i did a 2min tune on it and got several top 200 in practice gonna be a gooder!
BTW I just downloaded the srt8 from the marketplace and they all showed up for free so it s not solved yet
I gotta say I'm pretty impressed with all the cars I've played around with so far. I'm not even ashamed to admit I tried out the Smart car and I gotta say I was plesantly surprised. My favorite so far I thinkis a toss up between the Austin and the Lotus.
So far, I've built a venom & a c class Austin Healey. The venom is pure awesome. Haven't tried the Austin yet. I did get to try the transit van at the ring this afternoon withsome of the gang & it's a blast. I smell a special event coming.

T-10 develops the packs, but doesn't X-box LIVE/Microsoft run Live/DLC's/Microsoft points etc?
I still say it's a season pass screw up, someone didn't flip a switch etc and it's in Microsofts lap...
Guess I'll be hitting Amazon or someone for points in a hour or so. Anyone know of any point sales atm?
DAMN!

it'll be ok...
(did I send you a Pinto paint?)
Thanks for the heads up, got mine free earlier, now still have almost enough points left for porshe pack, well happy
Thanx Snappy, I got the Van and it looks nice. I will send you a tuned Venom GT when I get home today.
I'm at work, but I've added the free car to my downlaod queue.
Will see what happens when I get home.
Thanks for the heads up!
Yeh hope it still works.. can't afford it at all atm.
Its 2.20 PM Mountainous Time here, and its still working this way,
got the Chrysler first from the marketplace, and went back on Forza and there the car pack was, saying purchased.
Looked at it the other way prior to this, and it was 560 MS points.
Thanks Naked.
Have Transit Van now, will be ready to deal scrap metal later this evening.
thanks for the tip !
FYI. T10 and/or MS may have resolved the issue. This was posted on their twitter account about 45 minutes ago.

Issues with purchasing the May TopGear Car Pack have been resolved. Thanks for your patience.
Damn.
I'll see what happens tonight when I download the free car.
I `ve changed my mind, I`m gonna sell Ice Cream instead.
This was way too cute to pass up on!
But I might sell Tacos too!
Having fun
Have you tried the Healy? I have a great B class tune for it off the storefront...most chilled layback car in the game, such a mellow engine tone.
aawww man why do i live in the damn netherlands!!! it takes another day or 2 before the may pack is released here
Confirmed that as of 5:00pm PST the pack is still free.
So much for having the problem solved

No love from the download gods here either Emcee....had to buy the pack.
Unless they bollocks up the Porsche pack launch...(fingers crossed)
Nothing like charging $20 (U.S.) for cars that were already modeled before the game came out
