Well done Dino!

Dino -

Damn. Now I'm really going to have buy one...

Speaking of movies, Dino - what ever happened to the photos/video they shot of us that rainy night at Daikoku?

DCD · 30th November 2007, 01:25 AM

I have no idea. Haven't heard anything from Edmunds or NG.

akasakaR33 · 30th November 2007, 02:34 AM

Dino - Can you at least tell us what colour car you drove??

Well actually I drove 3 cars, a Dark Silver one for 2.5 hours on country roads and highway (limiter sucks!!), a Titanium one for my first track outing and a Red one for my second one. Was then driven around by a pro driver in a Ultimate Silver one.

Can't wait to read your review.

Crap! There is a speed limiter!??

DCD · 30th November 2007, 06:27 AM

Yes there is. On Japanese cars you can only remove it when the GPS knows the car is inside the grounds of a race track. To remove it you have to go into the MFD items list, select number 19 and agree to the warning. You then get one of the readings on the screen saying circuit mode or something like that.
