Or youcould just get you Forza3 and build your own and thrash it about some decent roads... much cheaper in the long run hehe

This is my 71 GT-R - its actually a hoot to throw about - not that fast, but loads of fun.

hehe - yeah, I am a little embarassed to admit I really like the old 6-banger girl I have restrained myself from doing the normal Forza3 thing of going AWD and modern engine upgrade, and stuck with a simple cam and bolt on strategy, yields about 290bhp. Couple with -1.8 camber and sticky street tyres is the perfect tool for Japanese mountain roads... hell I bet they could base an entire performance genre off this one car - wait.... they did LOL

Here is what the car looked like when we bought it:

To buy a car in such a pity state, retoring to a pristine level and even with the driving wheel on the wrong side, there's no other explanation: you must love her

The owner of the car and I had some correspondence a while back, I can ask him if he has any on file.
