Been driving for about 8 hours now, have about £500,000 in my account but still more than happy with my yellow Exige.

Although I have just seen a rather nice house at Kahuku Point that may get my money.

I was following you for about 25mins, the big map showed you, but could never see you on the road

My Stage 3 McLaren F1 GTR is a beast :eek:

Been at work all day

Finally free - will be on soon

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

Whats the best car to buy with $320,000?

Save up to 650,000 and get the Enzo

However the Ferrari F430 is a nice allrounder - 150,000

hey mate well I just bought my second house, if you undo the map the real estate agent just down form the italian independent / up from the dodge dealer etc, does a couple of houses in that price range around that area of the map as well, so I got a nice 6 bedroomed house for about 250k.

now i just need to work on buying cars, although Im finding that Ive done a whacking big propertion of the races and the ones I havent done are only getting me like 10-20k ?

are there any bigger races ? and whereabouts ? I'm on Pro level Btw.

a lot of money comes from Car Deliveries, or redoing already completed races

The biggest ones ive seen are;

Millionare Challenge - $1,000,000
Tour of the Island - $200,00
and some time one thats is - $100,000

McDaniel · 10 Sep 2006 at 19:43

Can someone who has just started please goto the Alfa Romeo garage and tell me the preconditions to buying the 2nd car there (has no price) as i just got it free - curious to know how you qualify

McDaniel · 10 Sep 2006 at 19:56

ok I am trying to get all the garages so I can start adding a few bikes but I cant seem to find the last one, from what I can gather using the map and the map that came with the game, there is one garage i havent unlocked and it appears to be the lexus one, however driving past it I cant unlock it ? theres no enter ?

any clues ?

You sure your driving by the right thing?

McDaniel · 12 Sep 2006 at 20:27

Sorry about me being lame last night Wyrdo - i was half asleep so casually driving around finding roads
