If I can ever figure out this stoopid USB save thingie I'll copy it and send it back, thus adding to your collection!

Here are step by step instructions to do the USB Trick . Pay special attention to the items in bold for your own safety.

Gamesave Restore Instructions
Gamesave Restore
*

Here is the correct process with USB Drive already inserted in PS3:
*
1) Receive anything that you have been gifted
*
2) Immediately hit Save button on left side of My Page screen
*
3) Quit Gran Turismo 5 by pressing PS3 button and selecting Quit Game, make sure HDD light has stopped flashing first.*

4) Toggle up to Saved Data Utility
*
5) Press X and then move to your Gran Turismo 5 Game Save until it is selected
*
6) Press Triangle and select Copy (pressing X button)
*
7) (By default, it will always select Online Storage for you), Toggle down to USB Drive and press X
*
8) It says" There is saved data with the same name at the save destination. Do you want to overwrite it?" Select Yes and press X
*
9) It will save your Game Save to the USB Drive, you now have a backup with your new car and or any items that you just received.
*
*
Flipping Tickets Instructions

*If you are Flipping Tickets, simply open how many ever tickets that you have, one by one.
*
If you get what you are looking for at some time, save at that time and wait for the Yellow HDD light on your PS3 to stop flashing. Quit game and save to your USB Stick using instructions above.
*
*
*
If you do NOT get what you are looking for, wait until the HDD light stops flashing and Press and hold down the PS button.
*
Select Quit game and press X.
*
Scroll up to Saved Data Utility and select your USB Stick, Press X.
*
Select your Gran Turismo*5 *gamesave and press Triangle.
*
Select Copy , it will by default choose PS + Online Storage, scroll down to your gamesave on your PS3.
*
It will say " there is Saved data at this location, do you want to overwrite?"
*
Select Yes and Press X.
*
It will show a diagram of your USB gamesave > to your PS3.
*
Once copied, your previous gamesave with the tickets you have been flipping will have been restored.
*
Go back into the game and try to get the car you want once again. It often takes quite a few times to accomplish this.
*
*
*Sending Items to someone else

If you wish to send something to someone else, first make sure your Gamesave is backed up using the method above
*
1) Enter Gran Turismo , select GT Mode, and proceed to "My Page"
*
2) Select the car ( you cannot be in the car if you wish to send it), Ticket, Paint Chips, Parts*or Suits/ Helmets

Heya SWERV! Yessir, I've got all that now, this step: "this time toggle up to your USB drive and press X" had me running in circles but the Good Racin510s put me straight on it, and I'm operating at capacity now:tup:! If you don't mind, I appreciate the info, but so as to not take over Pit Crew's thread with that, can you edit that post out, please?:cheers:

To Pit Crew: I can send you every car you send me back, if you're not restoring your savegame after sending. I've no idea how you're handling that, so just thought I'd mention it:tup:
 
First two batches of 10 (20 total) delivered to your account. Will send 20 more. Do you want all lapis lazuli or a mix?

Forgot to mention it before, please send the cars to genuino_67 account. Thanks:)👍
A mix is fine sent Sno White early. 👍

All right, good to know....about to send you mine from BC44; Sending Lapis tonight, but for tomorrow, same question as Genuino had: you want a mix? or should I keep sending Lapis? Do remember BC44 is limited (new guy:lol:). Maybe 44 sends Lapis, 43 mixes it up? Favorite hues?

Any other classics you need to flesh out? I don't have all of anything, but got a lot! And just started on Standard Z-28s, so unless you need Burgundy Metallic, don't ask yet:lol:

I can send it to you sometime in April. I do hate to be that vague about it, but it's on my old account (BC43) and that's booked solid til then unless BC44 comes up with something BC44's commited for and can open a slot that way. 44 has thus far been worth not a lick in that matter:lol:

Mix'em up; tired of Lapis already?:lol: all pearls? or are there any mattes, c/s, just regular really nice paints you wish for? 43 can send pearls all day, everyday, but like I said, 44 is new enough the library ain't that big :lol:
C'mon, Player, make a PIMP decision! (just had to finish the Katt Williams reference:lol:)

Ok you talked me into it, Got any Reflex Purple, or Concept Purple, send them if you can. Honestly I should have done this months ago :dunce:

I'm quite surprised 44 hasn't aquired Reflex Spice or Purple yet; I suppose they haven't thrown out a TVR with it with sufficiently low mileage in the UCD for me to buy it there yet. I'm positive 43 has Reflex Spice, have to check for Reflex and Concept Purple (BTW, If you haven't tried Reflex Spice on a Super Bee, you ain't lived;)) Any idea what car Concept Purple comes on? Oh, speaking of which....I recently went to restore my Dodge collection to original colours and was displeased to find a couple I wanted, but didn't have a chip for....would you by chance have (Dodge) Silver Metallic and (Dodge) Light Gunmetal Metallic (and it's hugely important to filter this by selecting manufacturer as Dodge; I can't paint a Dodge, send it out, and have the new owner look his paint up and find it's Ford, or Lotus, or even Chrysler or Plymouth)? If you do, and have the slots available, would you mind send one of each or either to my BC43 account? Apparently I never bought those cars in those colours, so I just plain don't have them. And I won't even paint one of them Hemi Orange because in all it's glory Dodge has two of them, and I find it difficult to distinguish them once on the car, so I can't use either (one might be from the new Challenger). Even if this comes up empty, I'd appreciate a look.:cheers:


Edit: I do have Reflex Purple (2) on BC43 I'll mix in with other Pearls. I need to know where Concept Purple comes from. BC44 will send something to be determined:lol:

Updated Racin send when you can
 
I'd like the Evening Blue Metallic, if you send a FR to fisho_man (Cuda/pearls) I can start straight away sending pearls alphabetically for as long as you wish. They will send intermittently as I am able. I may have the Lapis amongst one of my accounts, will try and track down for you.
Evening Blu Mettalic on my main ill send fisho a friends from there.

Well you may be in for just a touch of luck; I do know I have the '03 Mitsubishi i Concept from which i Concept Purple is available, and according to Duck, only from the 2nd UCD run. So after my house clears out in a few hours I'll be right on that;) Gotta check them colour names, Bro; this is becoming a scavenger hunt :lol:

Cuda recieved, Thank you very much Sir!:tup:Had issues last night, SENT 3 I Concept Purples, 2 Lapis Lazuli, 5 assorted Pearl:tup: If this is a good mix, let me know please;)

BC43 will only be sending 4 paints tomorrow, as it needs to transfer a color to BC44. Just a one-time deal:cheers:

Whoa, Bro! I got that one, the ones I named are specific colours, not just wanted hues;)
Wait, did you mean "metallic" when you typed "grey"?

And seriously, I would just put "Cudas for Pearls"

Probably meant Metallic it was in Dodge slot. Good Idea those was just my no miles.

"Just your no miles"....I get it now....you were saying you had 6 0/0/0 Cudas to trade out for pearls....it really doesn't read that way, Crew;)

I'm just imagining hearing: "Your Honour, I sent'im a Midnight Purple Pearl, I wants my 6 Cudas!" :lol:

BTW: you like the Midnight Purple line? (II, III, Pearl)

I need to clarify the identity of the Concept Purple. Is it the iConcept Purple or is there another color called Concept Purple. Reaper5167 sent me a chip of iConcept Purple last night. It appears to be a light purple color. In comparison to Lapis Lazuli it is really not a purple to me. I could be a :dunce: on this.

I posted a thread in the Paint Trading Thread looking for Concept Purple thinking it would be a darker color:drool:. So is iConcept Purple the same as Concept Purple? Please let me know so I can close my other thread.
