I created a car club, its on the east side of the crater at the south end of the island.

I know fire was making his brother get it, and was considering it himself, so I went ahead and ponied up the ingame cash for the clubhouse

game tonight. i will bother ed with questions as soon as
i am a bit familiar with the game

my brother will get the PC version if he buys it. so i am not sure whether he can actually join us.

No idea, probably not, but I could be wrong. PSU Xbox owners can't play with PC owners, but they claim that is a billing issue. FFXI players can, so its technically possible.

You hsould tell him to just get a 360

Ouch. A week? Spells trouble if it's because of their debts rather than maintainance. Here's hoping they get it back online soon.

Also, welcome to Live esdina

Servers are back online, and you have a club application waiting in your inbox when you get a chance, Ed

Island Tour: Complete in a time of 47mins and some change

Post by **Inquisitor** » Mon May 19, 2008 3:22 am

That race was both pure joy and pure frustration.

I did it on the Ninja, I couldn't drive the jag perfect enough to win

I am not sure how to access my inbox an all that. I may need some help on some of the finer points of the game.

esd · Post by **esd** » Mon May 19, 2008 10:58 pm

eh, just give me a slap in there again if you need anything

Completed the Millionairre's Challenge this afternoon with a time of 58mins and change.

I found all the show rooms, so thats an annoying thing out of the way. I am at Pro level but I only own 3 cars and I have like ZERO cash. All the cops nabbin me and takin me to jail. Lets just say that it isn't unreasonable to assume that I spent more than 10 minutes in jail...

I ended up "farming money" there are a couple hi value races at that leevl that are easy enough to beat, grind out cash, and buy cars

By Expert (I think) there is an Aston Martin challenge race that is 75k that is cake, especially with the unlocked hi-end AM.

esd · Post by **esd** » Tue May 20, 2008 5:25 pm

There's a race for $10,000 that you can complete in 45 seconds on a motorbike. That's $10k a minute if you grind it.

Post by **Inquisitor** » Tue May 20, 2008 6:05 pm

Yeah a couple of those.

The Astin Marton one is a race against myself now, since hte rest of the pack is slow as molassess. I'll have to check my time but I think its like 57 seconds.

Fenavian · Post by **Fenavian** » Tue May 20, 2008 11:14 pm

lemme know where that AM race is and I will look for it by the time I get to expert.

I have had real good luck with the vehicle transport missions as well. They are long as hell but worth the money if you can amke it there without a scratch, which I have been seeming to do.

Post by **Inquisitor** » Wed May 21, 2008 3:01 am

Its on the east west highway sorta south (central ish) part of the island.

-edit-

My bad, it may not be the AM, its might be Alfa Romeo Day...

I'll log in and check when not baby-duty-ing it.

I've been doing that American Challenge (Ford only) in my tuned Ford GT for $40k a pop.
