I drove a great DLC car this morning.  Costs $.99 in the Playstation store.  I propose that we do it for November 1.  Its the Honda Weider HSV-010 (Super Gt) 2011.  If you don't want to buy it, I am sure you can use one of the other Super GT cars.  PP=640.  I will update the spreadsheet.  If you guys don't want to do it, I can just delete.

Great job with the car choices Parcells.  I drove the Mazda (sorry I missed Thursday night) and the Focus this morning.  Very fun to drive!!!!

Parcells wont support non-track DLC and 99 cents sounds a bit pricey but if there are substitute Super GT cars just let me know what they are and we can drive them no problem.

No worries.  Just grab any of the other Honda or Nissan Super GT cars and make the same mods.  PP=640.  These cars are all very similar.

To make up for Sheldon's absence, I will show up early, probably between 5pm and 5:30pm my time.

I'll be there tonight.  Going to try to get those effing TB headsets to connect one last time...so I may or may not have a headset until I find my wireless PS3 headset.  I'll be my usual late self.

Wheel turned on fine just now, not quite ready to use it yet but must assume it will work. Not sure if this makes me happy or not...Fanatecs questionable reliability but it is what it is and it's still better than the Turbo S assuming that still works been resting for 8 or more months now.

 

Since we definitely didn't drive last weeks spec car we'll go with Craigs scheduled car this week and we'll run last weeks car on Nov 8.

Don't really understand as the wheel is definitely getting power cause it makes a scary noise basically screaming at me "I'm done playing" so you better turn me of before I really blow this wheel up.

 

Something similar did happen to me with my Turbo S a little over a year ago but after a time out and little smack to the casing it came back to life like nothing happened. Obviously that didn't happen last night so when I get home on Sunday I'll try it again and if still no go send Fanatec an email and connect my Turbo S to the wheel stand. Been using ACL since the Elite arrived (~ 7 months) so will be "different" using a manual clutch with Forza.

 

To top my awesome night off Minnesota didn't show up to play football last night and in doing so eliminated Parcells from my suicide pool...was down to 6 of us left for a nice $2700.00 first prize. Consolation is I'm still in contention for a ~$1500.00 second prize but still sucked!

I'm going to be in Parcell's lounge for a while running lapping days at LeSarthe, Spa & Nordschliefe w/ time/weather change if anyone is interested.  Nobody was there for the races.  I took the time to hook everything up, so I'll be mucking around in GT5 for a while.

Sorry I missed you.  I was on for a little while at 5:30pm PST, but when no one else was on, the kids were able to talk me into going for ice cream with them.  By the time we got home, and I was back in the saddle, you were already offline.

@ Parcells.  I pulled out my turbo s thats been sitting about 1 year.. works great. I installed the gt2 rim on it and its my go to wheel for forza. I like the feel alot better than the csr which Dan is using until his wheel gets fix.

The Turbo S is a great wheel. Also great for GT5 so I guess its settled and we'll see you Thursday night then! Come back! Buy any Super GT car*** and apply the parts listed in the spreadsheet for this weeks car. Spreadsheet car is a dlc car says Craig

 

***Craig,

What are these Super GT cars as in how do I distinguish them? Or if there's only a small handful list cars please? :)

 

I have no idea what Dan's regular wheel is?

Just check out the Nissan and Honda sections of the new car dealership.  There are plenty of Super GT cars to pick from.

Rucken frucken jesus Christ! Last week stupid wheel doesn’t turn on (been fine ever since) and last night my damn ISP lost everything about an hour before GT5 time, I was not amused. Even the TV was gone and it’s still out this morning.

 

I assume Mark advised you guys and you went forth with Craig’s car last night? Someone should confirm so I know what to schedule next week.

 

Been a tough month for Parcells and GT5 so hope like hell to make it next week else heads are gonna roll.

 

Woe is me angry

Sounds good. Updated the spreadsheet to reflect Craig's genius plan!

It was a great night of racing.  I believe there was 8 of us all having a turn of getting on the podium, at least half getting a first place finish. 

I know I am leaving this open for Parcells to come back with an egotistical response.

Ask and ye shall receive…

 

Obviously with me not able to participate last evening there was an open podium position in every race for one of you vagrants to occupy. Surely this is what you were expecting?

 

But I’m more interested in knowing what your wife thinks of you bothering her at work just so she can tell you how to spell egotistical. 8
