Oh man, I haven't even got the car yet, and I'm mentally modding it But I digress!Now if we could only get someone inside FPV to have a look at the details of the October update... oh man this is gonna kill me. I can't wait, but DAMN I'll be pissed if they come out with a new Gunmetal colour and steering wheel paddles for the auto hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to mod it then you are definately going to need Brembos or whatever, the brakes in the present car 13 get really hot with a high speed workout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a fine auto it will be, but I wants my gear stick!hehe I just got home from star wars ep3. not a bad movie (won't go any further into that here), but during parts, I found myself running various phoon colours through my mind, and milling over the brake options.ugh. I'm still keen on mercury silver for some reason, but still haven't actually seen it in the flesh. love the blue pearl as well though, and oh the black. hmmm yellow would be pure pr0n too...anyway, to bed! not to spoil anything, but it turns out that Anakin becomes Darth Vader and is actually Lukes father!!!!!
