Monday Motor Mayhem Mischief and Merriment


Recommended Posts

Tonight will be racing as usual. I was thinking a few pursuit races, a few open wheel races maybe Rockstar tracks but hopefully not.  An oval race, an endurance race, a pb76 clown van GTA race and a motorcycle race at the Daytona road course because the Daytona 200 will be happening soon. Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi folks. I should be able to host tomorrow, as my hotel has a TV that hopefully I can get my HDMI into. I should know for sure around 2/3 hours before start time in any case. No special cars for tomorrow. 

 

The following Monday (21st) I would like to host a custom Sentinel XS night. Pretty sure we did this a few years back so some might have the car already. Otherwise it can be stolen and modded pretty cheaply over the next week. 

If there are any other cars people would like to see an M5 night dedicated to, please post under here and I'll plan accordingly. 

Hope to see you there, cheers 🙂

Just a heads up  @Crawford1872if the hdmi port doesn’t work it my have been switched off. Some hotels do this to stop guests leaving cables plugged in and housekeeping tripping over them. Health & safety gone mad! Anyway, if that is the case if you google the tv model number you may be able to find the documents to access the engineers menu to switch it back on. I had to do this a few years ago when I took my PS4 with me.

Thanks man, I'm just hoping the HDMI is on the side of the TV and not the back. Right nightmare when it is wall mounted. 

I almost miss the consistency of the premier Inn 😂

Got the tv plugged into the Sony with the help of my extension cable. So hopefully my mobile signal is enough to host tonight...we are going ahead at the usual time. 

 

Thanks for bearing with me this evening

Hi folks, this Monday we're gonna run stock versions of cars/Bikes we have owned/have another tenuous link to IRL.

 

We'll run a race each with each vehicle and fill the rest of the playlist with a more traditional m5 races to get to the usual PL length.

 

Post below with your choice and it'll be included.

I'll start us off:

1. Mountain Bike

2. OG Retinue (omar)

3. Dune Buggy (Beez) 

4. Issi Classic (DJ)

5. Brioso R/A (Torgiano)

6. Weevil (Bry)

7. Blade (Omar)

8. Surfer (Bry)

9. ________ (space for a bike race)

10. Vulcan Turbo (Pretend)

11. Mystery surprise car* 

 

*probably for next week*

I hope to be there Monday. May be a little late.

My first car was a ‘62 Ford Fairlane. Closest thing in GTA is the Balde which is based on the Falcon.  
from then on I have owned only Economy type cars.  A Toyota Corolla, Ford escort, Honda Accord. I now have a Nissan Rogue. 
after doing a little research I’ve come to realize the Retinue is based on the Ford Escort. 😏

So, the original Retinue for me please.

In the early ‘90s, two friends and myself bought a sand rail to play with in the California desert. We probably had more hours wrenching on it than driving it and it was never that good but it was still fun to drive. So my pick is the dune buggy.

Remember the Toyota oh what a feeling! campaign?

Cool suggestions so far and good to see this filling up a bit, should we get another 3/4 this will run tonight. If not I'll postpone this for a week and we'll be running a single stock vehicle tonight. 

Cheers folks

The car in GTA that comes closest to what I own and drive daily is a Grotti Brioso R/A (a.k.a. Fiat 500). I drive a totally different Fiat but there isn't anything that gets closer. The motorcycles I don't really care about as I just don't like to race them on GTA anyway.

I might be there tonight or I might not be, we'll see.

Nice we have a fair few now. Will probably use a few suggestions from the list Bry posted to pad it out a little. Omar posted a few options too so we have a full PL pretty much. (Should anyone else have a suggestion I'll take out one of the duplicate choices for inclusion purposes) 

 

Can I have 1 bike suggestion please? Know you two guys ride but have no idea which bike in game would suit@Beez/ @Torgiano

And yes, only 1 bike race, any more would be too much.

I have owned the following cars:

Peugeot 309

Hyundai Pony

Hyundai Lantra

Hyundai Scoupe

Hyundai Coupe

Fiat Bravo

Fiat Brava

Lancia Lybra SW

Renault Espace

Alfa Romeo 156

Alfa Romeo 159 SW

MB C180 SW

MB C200 SW

So, pick one 😁. I don’t think any of these cars is represented in GTAO

Nice list! Especially the Estate version of the Alfa, gorgeous thing. 

Nothing here is in GTA, you're correct! But I like the list too much not to include something. We have a few compact races, so going with the Nebula Turbo, even if it looks nothing like the V60 😂

My fav was probably the 156. It had a 2.5 V6, ti package and facelift nose. A beautiful and pretty rare car (only 2.5 V6 with a facelift in the Netherlands IIRC).

STOCK SUPERCAR EVENT

 

On Monday as a few of you know, we're gonna run the Stock Tigon. Based of the IRL De Tomaso P72. Beautiful car, interesting enough to run stock and too expensive to ask everyone to buy for a one off event. 

 

Gonna take a throwback to the TNT days and ask everyone to pick a colour for the event. I'll update/pin this post so taken colours are easy to spot. 

I'm gonna take Lann's paint crew colour but will change if it clashes with another regular colour.

 

Thanks folks!

 

Tigon list - 

white  - Ally 

Sunset Red - DJ

Light Blue - Omar

Orange - Schumi

Black Steel - Beez

Racing Green - Torgiano 

Purple - Joe

Black - DC
