Ciscokid's Classic RR Pick
As I said before, I was looking through my garage for something different, something classic, and later realized it's something familiar. I didn't really expect too much from this car when I chose it, but I soon realized it's pretty fun and gets loose in the turns even on S1 tires that I tested it on. The R3 tires it comes with just didn't seem right for it.
Nissan BLUEBIRD Rally Car (510) 1969
And the reason I say it's familiar is something about it I didn't realize until after I'd already taken a lap in it. I hadn't noticed the (510) part of the name. My brother bought a '66 510 a few years ago with something like 23,000 miles on it. It's a pretty cute little car, he found some old school 4 spoke rims for it and taped up the headlights like a rally car. A few months ago someone noticed it parked on the street and took a pic of it. Later one of his friends found the pic posted on a classic car website.
Anyway, don't expect any blistering times with it. I think my lap was somewhere just short of 9'30, but I had a few rides through the grass and got spun around once.

Interesting fact about the Nike 2022- The 2022 Nike One has Morse code on the right hand side of the car. When reversed, this reads www.phil-frank.com, the artist commissioned to design this car for GT4. There is also some Morse code visible on the inside of all four tires. |

It's pretty interesting to peruse his website and see what he's designed, as well as some concept art to show how the Nike One came into being.

I have now re-spammed the DTM for some cash and will be testing the RR out soon.
But as for picking the WR, I have to ask...What, Me again, so soon? I picked one a while back, the highly popular Aston Martin DB9...
I'll wait until tomorrow, and unless anyone objects, will announce my post before 7.00 (BST).
I am thinking it should be a 'sports' coupe - my favourite type of car to look at, dribble over and pull chicks in (not all in that order) - but my mind is subject to change at short notice...

General Lee's Birthday Budget Rider:
Bit of a change this one.
I have picked a car with many versions (nope, not the Skyline) and set a budget to play with.
The car will not come out of the budget I set.
You can pick any version of the production car.
Any mods are legal as long as the total falls inside the budget.
The car is the Honda NSX. You can use ANY of the NSX production cars (not the JGTC or prototype), either new or used.
I think it will be pretty useful to see the differences/similarities between the differing models.
The budget I have graciously provided - at no cost to your good selves - is CR 60,000.
Have fun...!

I forgot to say, if your car is used, you can go for the body refresher plan and it will NOT affect your budget. USED + BRP = NP (whereBRP=Body Refereshment Plan and NP=No Problem). VITG: I was born three weeks later than I should have been, probably a 'christmas' baby. Seem to be a fair few of us about  |

I should've born in January. Luckily, I was born in December 19.
And I say "luckily", because the stupid nurse that was following the pregnancy of my mom expected me somewhere in January. My mom went to another nurse, and earned a one-way trip to the emergency room in order to get her belly cut down, since I was WAY overdue (expected to be born in late November, early December).
If my mom didn't change the nurse, probably I would never been born...

I might as well join in since I'm in between you two (Dec 21), I was due right after New Year's, but there I was.
EDIT: Oh yeah, almost forgot, me and my brother both were born right before holidays which we were due after.
