That's all I can remember for now. I've also sent out paint chips for free and every day since day 2, of owning GT5, I've been lending cars to friends when I haven't been sending presents.
In return, people have gifted me:
Amuse S2000 GT1 Turbo
Maclaren Mercedes
Everyone has been really cool, apart from (a) who has now given up playing GT5, even though he's had 10 million+ worth of cars off me and (c) who reckoned the 458 Italia ''.....wasn't fast enough...'' and he ''....can't be bothered tuning it...''.
WTF are some people like ???????????? 👎
Since then (c) has repeatedly asked to borrow cars, but I lie through my teeth and tell him someone else has already borrowed it, even though it's sitting in my garage, then watch with total satisfaction on his log as he spends all his hard earned cash on buying the car instead, leaving himself with no money. The moral of this story, don't be so 🤬 ungrateful.
