I've just had one turn up in my UCD, I'll send it your way. Don't worry about sending anything in return, unless you happen to have something insanely quick from '79 or earlier. What do you need the pug for anyway?

Nice one! Got any specifics on the >'79, Jap, American, Italian restrictions?

The date's the only restriction. It's for the classic race in the expert series so has to be mega quick. I've tried with the Countach and Special but no luck, ideally I could do with something like a P4.

Hmm, well I'll keep an eye out, but I've not got anything like that atm. It's a bitch that XJ13 doesn't have a year on it, bastards. Cheers for the 106, it's so I can give it a go at the Sax-P Nurburgring Challenge they've got going xD

If you're anywhere near enough money for something, run the Veyron around the High Speed Ring in the Expert Turbo series a few times, 50k for 3 minutes.

Yeah I'm nowhere near having enough for the P4, I'm around 19mil short xD.

I managed to do the second race in the Countach by getting an early lead, if I can do the same in the first race I should be able to win it.

If the circuit allows it, play with the gear ratios/top speed lowered to get a faster gearing for better acceleration? It'll suck on straights if it tops out, but you'd get the advantage out the corners etc

I did just that and managed 2nd place. I was just topping out at the end of the longest straight but the acceleration still wasn't quick enough, it took me 4 laps to take the P4 and that was only because the Toyota 7 overtook him giving me a chance as well, after that the 7 was a good 5 seconds in front and I had no chance of making that up in 1 lap.

The annoying thing is there were loads of suitable cars in the UCD and OCD earlier on in the game, now that I fucking need them they never show up.

Yeah, all I've got is JGTC cars in the OCD and a bunch of 90s stuff in the UCD atm, did pick up a 300ZX just for the midnight purple pearl colour chip, hate the car but looove that colour, want my whole garage that colour xD
Going to run the Ferrari series now in a 458, see what happens there.

Believe it or not this Yank tank kicks the Bentley Speed 8's arse and for only about 500k.

The front end is now matte green. I wish you could try it out before you buy it, I thought it'd paint the whole car. White wheels look alright though.

On another note I fucking hate the Nurburgring, the track is too bloody narrow and if you even clip the fucking grass it sends you flying.

Be a better driver then ;D
It's narrow irl too, so it's no different. That was the comment my mate made first time he saw it. I need some practice atm, can only get a shit lap out of the 106 ;[ if I can beat a guy with a wheel, then I'll be happy. So, 7:30's my target.
