    hello all,
    I was racing with one of the new club members yesterday, Fweefi, and he is interested in doing a club paint. I`ve sent him any MG related vinyls/paints that i had, anyone got anymore?. Got gifted his first try and i think there is a copy in the club gararge. Not bad at all.

      IMO he made a good paint! I got it gifted too, and I think it’s a great idea to have a club paint, so everybody online can see we are from mg. I know that they can see it when they look at our gt, but I think clubpaints are cool. So Fweefi, good job m8!

    Great times about a week ago and had a really good time with some new members. I suggest setting up a couple of racing nights so we can get together and have some fun. What do you reckon?

      I think we can organise that one Cerbs. I was thinking a stock night and also a tuned night. Fun racing between the club members and try and get a few lap times on the leaderboards in terms of the tuned night?

      ok, so trying to get this going, shall we say that we should have a get together on Sunday evening at around 9ish? Is this ok for everyone? We can run a few races for laughs and then try and hit some times off of the leaderboards. Who’s in?

      The big build up is here and unfortunately my 360 has red ringed and over heated. Going to get it sorted during the week so my humble apologies. This wasn’t meant to be the way it should happen. It’s been a time since we had a strong community event and feel pants that I cannot participate. Please carry on tonight without me and hopefully we can get something together mid week and then next weekend. :(

    How about racing tonight?
    I will be online at 10 o’clock.

      Thanks! Hope to see you online, most of the time I will be online at about 10 o’clock (that’s 11 o’clock for me)

  • Avatar racingbones said 3 months, 2 weeks ago

    Last evening I raced with nex0r. I had a really great time! Got some racingtips, and they worked for me. Nex0r, thanks for the tips and the great tunes!

  • Avatar joky said 3 months, 2 weeks ago

    Hi Johan, good to see you hear, I look forward to some races with you.

  • Avatar nex0r said 3 months, 2 weeks ago

    Welcome to the site and the club Johan. You’ll fit right in here. I’ve actually found the public hoppers far better than Forza 3 with only the occasional rammer. I’m on most evenings like you but without comms as the wife is asleep. I’ll set up a room and invite you in when we’re next on together. I usually run E to A class and generally stay away from the R’s.

    Some of my tunes are proving to be very good online. I put some of the cars in the club garage last night with the tunes on. They are on my storefront but if any club member wants them gifted just let me know what you want.

    A600 Murcielago – this is a beast, converted to RWD to drop it a class but still very drivable, 4 seconds a lap quicker than anything else I came up against on Sebring club!.

    E275 Alfa – With my lovely pink paint job lol. This hassles all the normal Sparks, 107’s and C1’s. Wind it on slowly out of a turn then nail it :) Very stable under braking but i found just downtshifting was enough to slow it down for most corners.

    E275 ’84 Supra – Another one of my fave online rides. Very stable and nearly as fast as the Alfa. Good for getting used to RWD if you’ve not tried them yet.

    There are a few more but I can’t remember what i shared last night.

      thanks for the reply! I can’t use my headset either, my wife and daughters are also asleep. I will try your cars, because I’m not a good tuner, maybe because I don’t understand how it all works. Nice of you to gift tunes to members! Hope to ”see” you tonight online!

      nex0r · 3 months, 2 weeks ago

      No worries, I have a chatpad :) My tunes are not the best but they are good enough for most people. Tuning is fairly easy once you understand the basics but getting to a good base tune is hard if your not sure what your doing. You can take my tunes and tweak them to suit a certain track or your own driving style. Usually just changing the gearing and the toe in does the trick. If you want advice just ask.

      I should be on tonight after 10 GMT.

      Thanks for the advice, I will give it a try. I don’t have a chatpad, but I’m fairly quick with the gamepad :) Could you please send me the tune for the Lambo? Really want to try that one out tonight. I will be on too tonight, about 11. We have ”wintertime” now overhere, so the time must be the same here as it is in England.

    Hi there all! I just joined the Mature Gaming club on Forza 4. A few weeks ago I met Joky online, and he told me about the Mature Gaming club. My real name is Johan, and I’m a 40 year old gamer from the Netherlands. Glad to be among fellow gamers. I didn’t want to play Forza online just because of the little children (maybe some grownups) that are ramming their way to victory. Hope to meet some new friends! I can only play late in the evening, because my wife and 3 daughters ”own” the t.v. untill 11 o’clock…….

  • Avatar cerbera5 said 3 months, 3 weeks ago

    Forza 4 is now settlin in, Two achiovs may need some Team work. The own all them expensive cars, and own all the disc 1 ferrari`s. Are we open to buying and gifting the cars around between us?

      Hi Cerbs. I have no problem with gifting and sharing between us to achieve the ultimate goal and those beautiful cheevos :)

  • Avatar joky said 4 months ago

    In Rivals, I have noticed people have posted times with better equipped cars and I can only select a standard equipped car. Anyone know how i can used a car from my garage for rivals that meets the class spec?

      Some challenges are restricted to stock only, you can see the restrictions by pressing X. If it’s not stock then you will see a weight or PI restictions. If your cars tune does not meet them it won’t show.

      Just select the stock car and then load a different tune that does meet the restrictions or build a tune that does.

      If you need any tunes just ask and I’ll fire them over.

    Hi Fella’s I’ve been away for a while and I’m now back, getting the new Forza and will be on line in a couple of weeks or so. I look forward to hooking up with you online again and resuming my usual position at the back of the race.
