Scarble, I am not going to keep my Furore GT very much longer so I'll have to let you have a go in it soon. I've already sold my Innovation (nice, but I doubt I'll ever use it and it's cheap enough to buy another in future).

I did get another 4-wheel Dubsta over the weekend. I'm not a massive G-wagen fan in real life but in the game there's something about it I love. This is my 4th; my second character's first car was one and the only reason I had got rid of the last one was to replace it with the 6x6. Happily they now sit alongside each other.




The green's odd, by the way; I stole this one because I liked the colour but it turns out it's not a standard LSC colour so I couldn't paint the 6x6 the same way.

Do you guys know that you can try all these new vehicles out in single player first?

Choose any of the 3 characters and go to your 4 car lock up/garages then we you enter i think you press right on the D-pad to select special vehicles, all the new ones are at the bottom.

Select the car/bike and you spawn outside sat in it, go mod at your leisure with your 100's of millions!

Trying them out in single player with all the traffic isn't the same. Plus racing your own modded cars requires you to buy them in online.

You're right though, perfectly feasible. I still waste money changing paint schemes in online which wouldn't cost me anything in story mode, but hey.

Which alloys are those?

We need more pics on here; the off-roading pics are what made me join the crew smile

Yea, took me a while to cotton on to this, I knew it was possible but with the hipster update I went to ssasa/lm looking for the cars in sp and couldn't find them, same again after this update, then finally remembered that's not how it works in sp silly
Although I'm not 100% sure the performance is consistent between freemode/offline/races, it might cap the top speed for lagyness reasons?

It's a nice shade of green. Isn't it possible to get it by applying a different pearlescence? What's the deal with the 6x6 anyway, I thought it was a Pegasus vehicle? Can you mod it? Does it stay modded next time you call it in? Or is it garagable all along and I'm just being thick again?

Yeah I've had that on a couple of races, apparently Rockstar reset them on the last update. But I dont think they are right? :S

I didnt think I was that quick, But I had fun anyway!

The 6x6 is simply a normal purchase, lives in your garage, moddable etc. The only restriction is you need to be level 100+ to buy it.

As for the green, it clearly has a pearlescent finish but I've tried all the greens with all the pearls and none were the same. Nor as nice, at least on the Dubsta. It's not the only car you can find with paint that you can't get in LSC; there's a pearl white Baller 2 which you can't replicate, and the red Peyote gang car has worn red paint which is again unavailable normally. Probably loads more.

I also think some of the colour shades you get when you buy a car, you cant get the same ones in LSC. I had that with my Turismo R I bought it in a lovely orange, I then changed it temporarily and didn't like the new colour. when I went to change it back to Orange I couldn't get the same orange I wanted and had before.

Finally spotted a PS4 deal I might go for - bundled with Driveclub for £329 from Asda. Anyone spotted a better deal? My alternative plan is to wait and buy one when GTA is bundled with the console.

Is that the same wheel design as on my Dubsta? I'd never thought of them as BMW alloys before but I can see what you mean. The M7 which BMW never made... smile

My sincere apologies to Scarble.

For some reason, I cant drive for toffee tonight and he was the unfortunate recipient of most of my Maldonardo-ness

you'll have to excuse me but I have a brain like toffee. you're not on the wiki.. and I've been punted off in more than one race tongue out
eta: nevermind, figured it out. I like your logo smile

At least you didn't repeatedly stickybomb me rolleyes

On an "unrelated" note, torresbaglia (or something like that??) also isn't on the wiki.

I've just realised that they are called 'Empowered'. Oh FFS, how did I not notice? laugh
