Exactly, I vote for a 'If they don't post, they don't get the car policy'.
There's no point in sending a car to someone if you don't know wheter he's alive or not.
 
Tyres were not allowed to be changed so why have people done it. How can you get a good comparison of times if people are cheating by changing things that were not supposed to be changed. If people do not respond to your friends request by the time you recieve the car send an FR to the next 2 people on the list so as we can keep the car moving.


Smittman you need to send fr's to the following now so as they can ready them selves and if not it can be passed on.

Why do I need Dhandes?? I'm giving it to Gilly afterwards.
 
I'm really confused now, who changed the tyres and why?
It specifically said in the OP 'NO MODIFICATIONS apart from Oil Changes, Engine Overhauls and Ridgity.'
 
I bought the CH and CS, I didn't think it was that big of a deal. I just wanted to drift, the Racing Tyres were all bought anyway. So why bother keeping the tyres stock?
 
It kinda takes the fairness of laptimes away if people start modifying the car to give them an advantage. Comforts would be acceptable I suppose as they aren't going to make the car go any faster anyways and it'd be rather fun drifting too. So there's no harm there, but I was just stating that whoever bought Racing tyres ignored the whole idea of the concept of sending the car around the world and trying to get the car round the 'Ring as fast as they can with no modifications.

I just think that it's taken the fairness of laptimes out that's all.
 
That's completely true.
Keep in mind that this event started going downward a long time ago, even I don't really care either.
And the replays must be saved I guess? We can check the used tyres, right?
 
After I got the Car I was surprised that there where different Tires bought.
Me think the other Tires where bought to win the Ferrari Seasonal at LaSarthe but I won it with the Stock 458 with SH Tires.
I did it with major cutting though and I´m after Horns => I made some 3rd places instead of trying to win ;)
And You can drift with SH too (but not in the Drift-Trails where C-Tires are more often mandatory)
=> BS argument to buy Tires ;)

Anyway now they have been bought and we have to live with that.
Due to the Delay of the scedule I wasn´t able to use the Car so much
=> I only added 300-400km

7:37.564 as Fastest => had a other Time in my head ;) (wasn´t in the mood of dooing further Time-Attacking although I could have done a 7:34.xxx)

I did some Photos (they will follow ;)).

I have send it to you SmittMan (PSN: theirishman1234) have fun with it ;)
 
True, but I prefer CH to drift. And since the Racing tyres had been bought, I didn't think it was that big of a deal anymore.

Thanks. About to try it out.
 
So, lets try and get this car back to MNLmberjack by christmas ey?
By the way, can we have an update on the mileage it has done?

I'll do a report about my time with the 458 and put some stats about things like mileage in their as well and some photos.

Damn, it needs some serious miles on it. Grab out the b-spec driver if you can.

I'll get a few on it now. After an engine and chassis rebuild I'm on the grand valley enduro. Thought we said we'd try and do it aspec??

Yeah, its a priority, but if people get it and don't have time to put in any miles, bob should have atleast a go, because right now, i highly doubt we can cover the distance of the earth. We are more than half way gone, and not ecen half way around the world.
 
My PS3 is starting to show signs of premature death so I'm taking it for maintenance today. Fans got so loud (kind of like fan test loud) yesterday playing GTA IV. So I can't make it.
 
The 458 is currently with me, it is resplendent in its new wheels and paint and I'm currently putting the miles on it. Have sent a friend request to next on the list, should all things go to plan will move it along Tuesday or Wednesday, would like to give spec 2.0 a go in it.
 
If there is no reply by Tuesday, try further on the list as its the ideal time for me..

Next week would be ideal for me as I have a week off holiday, after that it's back to the usual weekends play of GT5 for me..so I'm hoping that I can get it during the weekdays next week because if I miss that then it's probably going to only be 8 hours realistically spent using that car on the weekend for me.
