Woh :dunce:
Very little activity here. Disappointing.
Would Fettsback keep us posted please?
@Above, I don't know about the M5, and since Lumberjack seems to have given up on it, wouldn't it be a good idea to drop it as well:?
 
Will send car on tomorrow. Perhaps not had as much time driving it than I would have liked but it has reminded me why I like GT so much.
 
I've just recieved the car from Fettsback with 296.1 miles on it. I'll post some pictures up of it soon. :D

I've also sent a friend request to Saunter so there's no delays when I pass the car on in a couple of days. :)

Edit: Here it is, completely untouched since I recieved it.

I'll probably change the wheels but matte white looks brilliant on this Maserati. Whoever did that, top job. 👍

That must have been Keshian i painted it a really nice light blue but now it gone 
 
Well so far I've put 90.3 miles on the Maserati. I took it for a time trial around Trial Mountain and clocked a tidy 1:39.2 and took it for a drift trial at the same track. Then I did both the Italian Festival and the European Championship and made a fair bit of money for winning both. The latter was pretty challenging in the Maser with no tuning. :D:tup:

Also just sent a friend request to JamieC as Saunter is having PS3 problems.
 
I painted it matt white with the matt black (painted wheels) the french blue I think it was just didn't work for me.

Ohhh its nearly my turn to pump some miles in :cool:

I'll have it sent to you after refresh tonight. 👍

The GranTurismo is currently sitting with 419.0 miles after doing the FR seasonal races and some random cruises round tracks. :D I'm aiming for 500 before I send it off to Jamie. 👍

Edit: The GranTurismo is on it's way to Jamie now with 507.3 miles on it. :D I'll miss you, Maserati... :(

I haven't had a chance to put as much effort into this as I would've liked unfortunately :(, I've sent a friend request to the next person on the list (Divinusable) and I'll be passing the car onto him sometime tomorrow.
 
Just a small write up from me due to not doing much with the car :(

I received the Maserati from VTiRoj with 507.3 miles clocked up, it arrived in what I thought was a horrible colour, looks as if its been washed with wire wool all its life :lol:, I prefer a shiny car ;)

How I received it,

I swiftly took it to GT Auto where the guys gave it chassis rebuild and a engine overhaul and finally they gave it a lovely new coat of Lamborghini green paint :cool:

I then took it out to see how well the suspension can cope with some harsh bumps, pretty well infact, nicely setup even in standard form.

Sparks and a bit of lift :cool:

And then finally, no way could I let it go without taking out to Spa :D

The car has been washed and is sitting in my garage waiting for Divinusable to accept my FR so I can pass it on. It currently has 572.3 miles.
 
Sorry for the delay guys, new PS3 should be here tomorrow, as soon as I get it set up I'll be passing the car on straight away. Sorry for slowing this down.

I would love to participate on this, but I don´t have an internet connection for my PS3 right now... I would go around La Sarthe or Nurburgring all day.

And btw, has anyone thought what would happen if someone gets YLOD while having the car?

Then we must fall back to a back-up, I'm sure someone would have duped the car. If not, we're screwed :ouch:
