And lo, verily it came to pass that our hero did say unto himself that the time had come to face the horrors of Special licence test. And verily he did undertake to race the diverse races of this challenge, to test himself and prove his worthiness to enter 'like the wind' whereupon he might win the fabled 787.

And the lord did test our hero as he entered the challenge, with diverse tests of sore difficulty and sorrow - the much feared Seattle circuit reverse and the pant-wettingly nasty Cote D'Azur.

And he did face many failures in these tasks and he was beset on all sides by the evil of missing qualifying by a mere one thousandth of a second and being disturbed by evil housemates who beset him with distractions during a crucial corner in Seattle.

And lo, our hero did weep and curse and cry out "**** this for a laugh" and did beat his chest and did try to eat his controller in frustration. But the lord gave our hero strength and verily it came to pass that the challenges were conquered one by one and our hero was heartened with great gladness.

And lo, when it finally came to pass that all of the challenges had been defeated and no longer was our hero a frustrating eight thousandths of a second out (again!), but was victorious by a glorious four tenths of a second in his GT1 racing chariot.

And whereupon he had gained his shiny new special licence he did journey with glad tidings to 'like the wind' to pit his newfound qualifications agains more foes who stood in his way.

Verily this new challenge was a walk in the park because it was on the test track which is like a game for the toys of small children. And lo, after a somewhat tedious half an hour of this childrens' racing, our hero was victorious once again and did stand over his vanquished foes with triumph and glory in his heart.

And thus was our hero awarded the fabled chariot of 787B which looked verily cool and was green and orange. And also lo, this new chariot was truly rapid and did have much mechanical downforce which made it handle rather like a babylonian wench, which was very cool.

And it came to pass that our hero did post his thoughts on the town message board and said to his companions "If you haven't already done it, go and sort out special licence becasue there's only two difficult bits and the rest is really easy, then you can go and win a 787 which is a sweet piece of machinery".

The end.
 
then our hero did complete the arcade mode (exept of course the dastardly time trials) and he did reach the holy 75% completion and was awarded another chariot of 787.

And thus he was happy as a pig in........(well you get the idea anyway)

Now I have two!! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

Oh, you and your sixth gears... :rolleyes:

I loved the "Book of 787" Polyphony....I'm going to get my S license now!

Handles like a Babylonian wench...you better believe it! :lol:
 
cool, now get down to the time attacks. only 3 take any time, the rally ones (4 me anyway) and the complex string (that will take up a LOT of time) and you will get, lo, (think that was in the worng place) a lovely Panoz:D
 
Gota love the rotas! :D

I'm a big rotary nut and really enjoyed your write up. My 787B and RX7LM #10 work up the miles in my game. I've been testing my fully modded 787B at midfield and am happy to be running consistent 56.xxx laps. Great car.

Hope that you enjoy your GT Rotaries as much as i do.

cheers mate ;)
 
more disciples did gather as the word of 787 carried forth like flocks of birds on the wind or the fire through dried corn.

And there did become a great multitude of dudes who were converted to rotorhead-ness and did seek to own such a chariot themselves. And such did many people seek to vanquish special licence tests and get their own.

...and many did bash their heads, rend their garments, and gnash their teeth. They wept bitterly, for the glory of the S License did taunt them mercilessly, and elude their grasp continually. They cried in a loud voice,"Why, God, why? Why hast thou brought me here, only to torment me with these many tribulations?" And God did not answer, for he was quite busy with the Vitz Cup.

Verily you shalt be one of my disciples. For you have heard the word of the rotor and you have shown thyself to be possessed of great wit.
 
And the one called LoudMusic did shout from afar, "See!?! I told you, but no one would listen to me!! The rotor will overcome all who oppose it!". But the new children of the rotor did laugh and frollic and drive swiftly through the hills and plains of the land called Tokyo and the land called Seattle in their beloved 787B chariot, paying no mind to the profit LoudMusic.

Alas, the acceptance of the rotor is the goal, not the tribute to the profit. Go forth and drive ye chariots pulled by the many horses of rotor, and be merry! May the rotor light your way, down the dark and winding path, of the trials and tribulations of the walk of Gran Turismo 3.

se-lah

Hey now go easy on me. It's not like I chose to live here. I'm a Texan, pure and whole.

But to defend my current home ... Arkansas has several corporations in the Fortune 500. I actually live in Conway (population ~40,000), we are home to Ward/Amtran/International (who are they now?) Bus company, third largest in the world. Also, we home Acxiom, one of the world's largest data warehousing/processing firms. They have the largest installment of Dell 8000 series servers (largest Dell makes), a huge number of Compaq Digital servers, Sun Enterprise servers, and Cisco networking hardware. Their campus in Conway sits on aproximately 20 acres. We also have KimberlyClark, a large 'feminine products' manufacturer, and Virco, manufacturer of educational furnature like desks and chairs. Little Rock (state capital) homes Alltel communications, one of the nation's largest cellular providers. They are also a large ISP providing dialup and DSL. The list is quite long as a matter of fact, including Walmart, Steven's Group, TCBY, many top-notch medical facilities (burn victims from NYC were sent to LR Children's Hospital because "it's the best in the world") ... yes, we do have quite a few trailer home manufacturers, which is what we're probably known for. It is a huge industry, and we make a lot of money doing it. If it doesn't hurt anyone, and it generates large revenues, who's to say it's a bad thing?

Oh, and Clinton is a numbskull. Glad to finally be rid of him (:

Take it easy Loud music... no harm meant!!

The only time I've been to Arkansas was with an Oky friend of mine. He was visiting his cousin, who just happened to live in a trailler park. We all went in our car to visit the cousins friend who just happened to have a few drugs for sale. Goods were traded and we went back to the trailer via the liquor store and proceed to get very merry and converse in alot of free thinking. Having not slept a wink we hoped back in our car and drove back to Oky's-ville and that was that!!

So my only impression of Arkansas was that:lol:

Well it's definitely out there, but I try to stay away from the dark corners and dimly lit allies (: Our govenor lived in a "tripple-wide" trailer for a couple months while the governor's mansion was fixed up. How well does that speak for us, sheesh! I wish these people would get their act together and learn a little money management.

The way is paved with gold for yee who seek the truth.

Ah, many gracious thanks to thee. Growing up Protestant was all it took, methinks.

*koff*....*koff*

OK God, no more jokes, I promise. :D
 
O Man and Son of Man, beware the false prophet known as GVX! He comes bearing lies, telling all who will listen that the Book of 787 is the machination of a madman! He is a demon, sent by Pushrod, to spread the false faith of ol'-skool V8ness. Beware, my children!
