I could be keen for a run on Thursday after teams as well but will depend on how tired I am as teams doesn't start until 9pm for me. :)

I reckon we could have some pretty cool rally cross events at some stage! (Pity about the bouncing off the sides though).

I must admit the handling in this new series seems pretty bloody good but still its definitely a wheel game for sure, I havnt had time to hook the wheel up to it yet but cant wait till I do!

Graphics seem ok havnt really noticed it to much tbh but once Im in it further I mite notice it more..

Same as me to Aaron mate, looks like I'm going to have to be on good behaviour, especially around the wife, grease her up for an early Xmas prezzie like a PS3.........and on the agenda is Grand Turismo 5.....looks impressive and bloody Mentl having fun already.

There are falcon's and commodore's in there they just aren't unlocked until you progress further through the single player (so I'm told).

Picked up the Collector's Edition today which includes quite a cool book with a bit of history on cars and tips on how to drive them etc, also includes 8 extra cars no available to those that purchased the standard copy.

I set the game installing at lunch time so will be all set to go when I get home (apparently installing the game is a must if you don't want ridiculous load times). _b

DK Brought a PS3 today and I was waiting ages for it to load a new license test. I'm talking close on a minute. So I'd advise installing it ;) _b . Gameplay is awesome!!! _b
