That Sprite looks lovely Carl, we finally have something A-series powered and the noise it makes is pretty spot on. The MGB is cool but should have had bubble arches and a V8 swap but there's no other MG with a V8 in the game so I guess they couldn't do it. Did Buick ever use the V8 they sold to Rover in anything themselves?

Slightly disappointed with the Vandura, no arch extensions or bull bars and the front grille is grey and you can't change it to black. Still a cool van though, you do get the front valance and the roof spoiler. I've not tried the Merc yet, at 9mil I'll wait a bit before I get one.
MG used the 4.6 mustang engine, that would be the natural swap I guess.

They did, in the ZT 260 wasn't it? that would have been perfect for it.

The Sprite's a brilliant little car, lots of fun. Bit of a giantkiller too and actually quite a good drifter. I like the British sportscars of the past few months DLC. They make good F-E-D class cars for the Events List races.

Hi chaps,
thought i'd post a shameless plug for my PH Forza cycled production lobby that i'll be doing one night every fortnight. It's not a championship, just a casual lobby for PH'ers with good racing and good banter. There will be an eclectic mix of cars from all classes and a good mix of circuits with longer races!

If you're interested please check out my thread, thankssmile

Dont buy much DLC as i fking hate how MS runs it (cars costing either 160 or 240 points, only able to buy 1500 points at a time, etc) but did get the Lotus XI. What a car! sounds brilliant, and feels like are driving from very low. Feels a whole lot faster than it actually is.

Cant wait for Forza Horizon its going to be unbelievable

Is there going to be an October DLC pack or are they just building up to Horizon stuff now?

Edit to answer my own question. No there won't be an FM4 october DLC...

"The September Pennzoil Car Pack is our last regular monthly add-on pack for Forza Motorsport 4, as we prepare to unleash Forza Horizon—and all of its upcoming cool add-on content—on the Xbox 360 starting on October 23. Have no fear, Forza 4 fans, we've still got your back with lots in store in the coming months, including our regular cadence of monthly Rivals events, hopper updates, weekly photo and livery contests, Game With Dev events, and much more. As with this month's Petit Le Mans Challenge, we'll be bringing you Forza 4 lovers more chances to win cool prizes in the coming months as well, including a huge contest that we're planning to debut with the start of the 2013 ALMS season. Look for more information on that, and the rest of the cool things we'll be doing with Forza Motorsport 4, in this space soon. "

Trolling nicely on public hoppers tonight. Got kicked because an idiot decided to cut across me as I was passing and it caused a massive pile-up. He called me some rude words, to which I responded that he left a gap so wide it looked like goatse.

Realy daft question, is there a way of joining or do you have to be invited? Despite playing quite a lot of Forza its not something I have done.

Bump for new things, free new things. There is a Rewards tab on the http://www.forzamotorsport.net website now. When you sign in it counts up your levels, achievements, cars, credits etc in Forza 2, 3, 4 and Horizon, and gives you rewards for them, I've just logged in and got 120k credits in FM4 and Horizon, and a free car in each smile .
