that is weird. i only have the basic version of the game, so I don't know...
i wonder if it only lets stock colors be added when traded. i've traded my matt black LFA a few times but never the F-40.

yeah you only get the factory color... I just checked and a red GT3000 i painted blue then sent to my other account, when picked up was still blue but Red went in my paint inventory.

bummer too, I got some Matt Red and put it on a Countach, I'd love to get more of that color.

LOL, and the Jag XJ13 and the Ford Mark IV. But they are my pride and joy. I'm not willing to pass them around just yet.

newyorkreload, I'll add you right now and take you up on that 2J offer, I'll see what i have in paint and see if I can hook you up with some colors.

I wanted by buy and sell the LFA a few times to get the matte/flat black paint LOL.

What's this redbull event you need to do to get the X1 at the dealership?
So far I just need to complete endurance races(**** THAT!), but i didn't see the redbull event.

BTW, we should be getting new seasonal events today! Yee!

I drive like a mad man. I cant tell but I dont fill up either

Yeah after the first enduro I didnt do A spec for a week

You are over driving the hards to make them handle like softs

I used the Toyota 7 that you win from the Like the Wind Extreme series. CRUSHED the competetion, of course.

With B Spec you want to make sure the 2J does not start in front, or you are guaranteed second.
