I have done 80 gold cups out of 120 so getting there slowly. BTW Tango it was great to rip up the highway with you lastnight on our bikes - Really good fun. Did the memory stick work?

@Lozcs - I parked next to you for a while but I think you were AFK, tried calling your name but nothing. Funny but as I was parked nose to nose with you in my Lambo ( poof 'est' pink ever, designed by me lol) a guy in a Saturn fakeVX asked me for a race. 'Oh dear' I said, 'I will take your 10k' B)

That's more than I have done :rolleyes:

I'm on around 40 I think. I'm on a mission to discover all the roads at the moment...75% so far :D

Not bad. Mind you, that's some accent you've got :blink: Struggled to understand half of what you were saying :o

Did the memory stick work?

No, but I've got a plan :D

I've got some really good photos (I think so :D) and it would be good to post them.

I'm slowly modifying my "best garage"...my mA bike is now a Z1000 and I'm going off the 575 for group C.

I saw you guys on your cruise but my game kept freezing so I gave up in the end. :( Did you get your copy dan? Does anyone remember seeing the Ferrari 250 GTO in the demo? I want one but it's not in the dealer! Maybe it will be downloadable soon B) Have you guys bought any new cars recently that you rate highly? I delivered the Aston Martin DB4 Zagato last night, very nice!

The best car I have, for handling and all round looks and feel, however not the fastest as it in Group C, is my Lambo Gallardo Spyder. Its good standard and amazing at stage 3. The race I can recommend is right at the middle north of the map on the coast it is a 'Last Man Standing' race of 8 drivers (Grp C). It really show what the car is capable of (depending on how good you are ofc) You will be up against a Maranello and he will be there till the end, but the Lambo out handles him.

The best machine in the game for me is my black Ninja - 212mph and it sticks like glue. Im not into bikes but this is the best and fastest machine I have found - the cars that are this fast end up in trees and truck quickly etc.

It would be great to go for a spin all together! And you must excuse my accent, im a geordie thumbsup

my gamer tag is "xboxhost com" (don't ask why). Ive been playing this game a fair bit but can't say I'm enjoying it much, I don't like how it doesnt give you much freedom to go inbetween buildings (gta style) and it's hard to find missions when I want to. Anyway, holla if ya see me!

Sorry - I'd left it on by mistake - had this 360 for two weeks now - hardly had chance to play it. Need another screen - so I can play it when GF's watching rubbish TV ;-)

Im really making some head way now on this game. IM SUCH A 'FILTER' N00B. Anyway now that I have mastered the 'filter out unsuccessful races etc' I have now done all gold in speed, time unlocking the Alfa and the VW. I now only need one race and 3 top models to finish them. Still got loads of delivery missions to do (cars and packages).
Got loads of cars and house and now well into Champion status. Oh yes!! Also I got my boss and another lad at work to buy the game :D

If you have done all Time trials you will know the one that took me all my time. I think its called Tantalus or something. Starts off in the mountains above the city the down through the city to the crater. You get 7m30s to do it but it has collision deductions on your time - impossible but managed it in the end in my Enzo.

Good job! I drove along the Tantalus area last night during some instant challenges, great roads! Lately it's been all instant challenges for me, because not only does it help in uncovering new roads, but it's so much fun. There's nothing better than racing a standard set of cars on the roads with traffic, add to that the potential for huge short cuts and it's anyones game.. :wacko: It's great that people keep buying 360's and Test Drive because we keep going on about it :D

Woo Hoo I have got all gold cups, as a pressy I got given the Chrysler ME Four-Twelve which btw handles for sh*t :D Just need to do hitchhikers and I have completed the single player missions. I have all the collector scores too. The only problem I now face is winning the multi player races. I seem to loose all the time to yankee fuckers :( Maybe we can host and just let each other win?

Reet O Tango I will try and catch you over the weekend. We can instant challenge each other over and over to get the achievement. Do intra-club races to get that one and do some out of the way quick multiplayer race together to sort that out. God I love this game!! Only problem being is you might have to have 6 racers? But I dont know. We will see. I want 'Ace' Imnotworthy

Guys I don't think Instant challenges help with that achievement, at least I've not got anything from it yet and that's all I've been doing for the last week! Still, post up if you find otherwise!

15 wins in instant challenges is 1 achievement was what I meant. I was looking at the achievement thingy in my houses, checking what I needed to light up flag thingys. I have a flag for wining 5 instant challenges, but I noticed you got G points for 10 wins and 15. Tif you will already have these. Dont know if that makes sense but I think that how I understood it. Who is up for a TDU meet at the weekend? Sunday morning / early afternoon?

Oh do I? I didn't see a pop up like usual, at least I don't remember it.. :unsure: I can't this weekend, I'm going back to London to see old friends :beat: Instant challenges make great races when you arrange to be in identical cars, something like CLK 55 AMG's B) I'd like to get online with you guys but as soon as I get online I always end up in a room with the regulars straight away, I'll have to hide from them one night and join you rallly
