hope you've got your save backed up!
I'll wait before sending the N360 just in case it.. breaks something? idk.
If you do get that 350Z, don't go gifting it to anyone, you'll probably never get another :D

Have noticed the Camaro LM coming up in different colours now. You can repaint it but if you do it makes it one colour not the two-tone job it normally has.

Yeah saved game info is backed up with that PS+ thing.

I decided not to format after realising the 2 free games I downloaded including another I downloaded in the past would need to be redownloaded (unless I backed everything up on another drive) but this would take an incredible long time not to mention doing all the settings over again.

As a result I've left the corrupt data and am redownloading/installing GT5 again. I red online a few people did this with other games and after installing again they were able to delete the corrupt data.. seems a bit odd to me.

No worries holding onto the car, although I'm pretty sure its safe to send knowing I won't be formatting for now :)

Awesome, thanks dude.

It is just typical the Mazda is the last one, having had issues with these RX/Miata etc when adding them to my GT.net profile and realising I was getting some of them mixed up since they are so similar!

edit: finally installed and most of the cars in my garage don't show the thumbnail pics grrr to create a thumbnail for hundreds of cars will take ages!

OH YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Btw, I remember you talking about a rare 350Z Academy version, would you like one of them if I happen to come across one?



Thanks for having a look for me, I appreciate it, but as Sydney has a much lower milage one - I'm hoping to take it (grab it) from his hands.

edit: Yeah to say they are hard to find with low milage, they really are! They can go up to 400k miles so it can be really random. I've spent the last few days playing all day just refreshing the UCD over and over. Otherwise I would have finished a few days ago.

You know theres a easy way to refresh the UCD don't you just go to license test B1 then keep Clicking next test all the way up to 8 to refresh the whole UCD. i'd sooner win races and earn cash too but if you need to deperately find something it can come in pretty handy

I haven't been racing at all, except when I've wanted the odd bit of credits for something.
 
no you don't do that! You start a race then exit it, then start it, then exit it.. because if you do that it doesn't load the track each time but if you do it the license test way you have to load a track every time.

This is the method I've been using on the le mans track in the seasonal (since sometimes I do the odd race once I've spent a fair bit of credits).

edit: found the car, just under 40k miles but I'm fed up of hunting day after day!

Thanks to Dyson and Sydney they made it a little bit easier for me! I shall repay you shortly.

Now to buy all the Premium cars!

Oh I know its long over due since I added you, I just need to finish up some of my collection before I can enjoy it more!

Why are some of you concerned with the mileage on some of the cars? is there something I don't know about other than they lose a bit of power?

Dyson said:
.Lethal just wanted his collection of cars to have under a certain maximum mileage, nothing more than that.

I think Dyson explains it quite well :) Personal preference is all it is, I've already started moving onto trading/hunting for 0 mile cars.. this game is worse than World of Warcraft when it comes to addiction!
 
Bloody hell. Just done the Le Mans 24 hour Endurance. Thankfully on B-Spec, I don't think I could put myself through it on A-Spec. And through all these updates, why has PD not boosted the prize for these races? It's ridiculous how I can earn twice as much cash doing 1 lap of Circuit De La Sarthe on the Ferrari seasonal event than doing the 24h slog.

Anyhow, back on GT5 now after some distraction from other games. Upcoming targets: Need to complete the Vettel Challenge. Need to complete all the Seasonals (have done bits and bobs). Plug away at the car collection, I think I'm up to a paltry 287 now.
 
I've done a couple of the endurance races with my B-Spec driver, no way I'll ever do one myself, let alone the 24 hour one!
 
I did the Suzuka 1000 (Or was it 500? - Can't remember) in a fully modded R8 the other night, took almost 7 hours. Was knackered by the end of it.

I think i only have the Nurburgring 4 hour, the Tksuba (spelling?) 8 hour and the two 24 hour races to do.... but the 24 hour races can die a slow painful death, i aint doing them.
