My gamer tag is kiwi - I never got around to getting v2 of Moto GP, but have Project Gotham 2 
and several others. Midtown Madness 3 
is a blast - a much better game on Live than it is playing solo.
Any other PHers with X-Box Live? Would be good to get a bit of a list together and set up some games...

AllTorque - the Xbox has an ethernet port at the back of it. If your broadband access device is a router then it's as easy as plugging it directly in to that or a hub if you're short of ports.
If you are using a USB modem that plugs into your PC then there's a bit more to set up, but still quite straightforward.

) and i'll see you online (would play MGP, but lost me demo disc!). 
Good to see a couple of PHers online in the last couple of days. Following up on my earlier post about this - I got Action Reply yesterday and it is well worth the money IMHO. For PGR2 this means no more driving on ghost tracks, and choice of all cars - brilliant

It's a shame that people can't play fairly.I'm sorry you feel that way black monday. You're entitled to your opinion and I can see your point of view if people use this sort of product unfairly - as no doubt some do. It's not my intention to exploit an unfair advantage or spoil the experience for others.
I don't like playing against the computer - it is boring and I really can't be arsed doing hours and hours of racing that just isn't fun. I do enjoy competing on Live but that experience is spoiled by being a ghost on tracks you haven't unlocked and not being able to race in a competitive car. If I didn't get Action Replay then I would already be close to moving on from PGR2.
But used sensibly and fairly I don't think this should be a problem. Most of the racing I'm doing is restricted class because that's the best racing - for example last night I played with a brilliant group of guys and we all had the same car for every race - everything from Coopers to the Porsche GT1. I didn't use the Speed 12 or any other exotica that they didn't have. I'm quite open about how I have these cars and so far I've found people don't seem to mind - certainly last night my "cheating" didn't detract from their enjoyment.
I can understand how very annoying it would be for those like yourself who have grafted (with skill) through the stupefying experience of the solo play to then be beaten in a Live race by someone less capable in something like the awesome Speed 12. I was probably guilty of that the first hour or two when I was trying out different cars, but I don't do that at all now - it isn't fun and it isn't fair.
