Pardon me while I get my feet wet in front of you all ... ^-^

Post by: EX_stream_tuna on August 21, 2012, 11:21:30 AM: sometimes no one shows up until later and the room fizzles out around 11:00. If you want to start up the room just set it up with the specs/rules listed above and then if someone sees a racer in the room already, they'll join you.

I'm hoping to make it out tonight too... see you there.

Post by: Wiz on August 21, 2012, 09:38:29 PM: This was my first TuTu in probably 6 months. Had a good time! Good turnout too.

The Anniversary Edition's 3rd gear was lots of fun. ^-^

I thought the '74 was pretty nice. I may use it for a TGTIF soon... it could use a good tune. :)

Also it was a blast, lots of folks came out to race and the racing was most excellent!

Goos times!

Post by: Feldynn on August 21, 2012, 10:38:38 PM: Great shots Grill! What's wrong with the size?

Also I particularly liked the "3-wide in the bunker" shot :), also also that white '88 Anniversary (Turbo I think?) looked sharp as hell. There's not many whites I like and there's not many cars that look good to me in white, but that Anniversary Countach in that white looked sweet!

Hopefully one day we'll get the Ferrari Testarossa, another car that makes white look good :).

Post by: Grilled Tuna on August 21, 2012, 10:44:53 PM: kinda suprised the testarossa isn't in the game really it is the other exotic most of us grew up fantasizing about. GT5 needs more North American input.

Post by: GrumpyTuna on August 21, 2012, 11:30:44 PM: Nice pics there Grilled! The racin was just a good as the pics.

Post by: Turbo-Tuna on August 22, 2012, 04:42:22 AM: I enjoyed the cars and the racing. Thanks again everyone.

That is the original color for that car I think. Bianco Labrador. Its the white I've duplicated. (The other white I use is Super White II - Toyota/TRD)

Post by: EX_stream_tuna on August 22, 2012, 07:44:44 AM: I was that gold car coming through on the last pic... unscathed. I was amazed I made it through, but I'm usually good at avoiding crashes. Now, causing them is another.

I did have a few incidents with late braking that caused some bumps and one wreck. My apologies for that.

I agree the 25rd anniversary edition's 3nd gear was horrible. Not only that, but that car p;lanted me firmly in last almost every time. Not that I win a lot w/ you guys on the track, but I usually do better than last.

I switched to the '74 and boy did that make a world of difference! First place finish just before the room was shut down.

GOOS TIMES! LONG LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
