what cars are you getting ??? i only have a audi tt and a 350 z at the mo but have about 200,000 to spend .

Get yourself a Lambo. I got a Gallardo (I think) which is 4WD and mid-engined, so it handles beautifully, really really nice. Definitely under $200k as well

If you have put in the Jersey code how do you get it in the game?
Should it just appear in my garage?

you have to buy the extra cars in game. the code just makes it available.

Haven't found that one yet either.

Finished the Island Tour earlier on, wasn't too bad, my driving was a bit all over the place but I still won pretty easy in my Murcielago.

it's a time trial on the west coast near the bottom, you can keep doing it over & over if you need cash

i'll probably use the mv agusta like the island tour

Its a symbol like a spanner if you check out the paper map you got with the game the grid reference are there. to find them is like looking for dealers you have to look for them aswell so they become available.

Thanks for the quick reply

bingham67 · 9 Sep 2006 at 20:22

no problem.

spaceman · 9 Sep 2006 at 21:03

anyone else having problems connecting to multiplayer races?

i keep getting 'lobby unavailable' on every game even if there's people in the games :confused:

my NAT is on open on the xbox, maybe some extra ports that need to be opened on my router just for TDU?

EDIT: i get the same error when i try to create a game aswell

if you've got an open NAT there is nothing more you can do. I think, to be honest, TDU is suffering from some teething problems.

Current 39mins into the Tour of the Island race - i tell ya my controller has almost flown through my the TV a few times

A McLaren F1 GTR + Level 3 Tuning = a beast to control

Still though sailing at 260MPH through a straight is nice

/edit

Man i pulled away big style on the motorway at the end

49'42"84

McLaren F1 GTR

Glad its over

Brilliant game and I'm quite addicted :eek:

Feel a bit conned on the lambo code i had seens as you dont actualy get the car for free you still have to buy it lol :rolleyes:

I't one of them games you can play and an hour goes by like 10 minutes.

Worst thing that could happen on a Sat night for this game = Doing the multiplayer island tour and seeing your batterypack die.

Much worser thing to happen on a Sat night for this game = Realising that you'd forgotten to charge the replacement batt sitting on the dock in front of you.
