Or an FTO-Ireland visor for the car?
Man I'm so jealous, that would be so cool. Well done though, getting the limelight big time!

Class!!

Getting my xbox next week + steering wheel :D
At last i`ll use my 47" LCD for something good :P
I wonder if it handles at least similar to real world... though, you can read this game is super realistic not only in relation to graphics

Thanks Tom and Jay.

I know, and I explained this to them and told them they had fooked it up in forza 2 as well.

MM, they take this game very seriously and every car is supposed to handle similarly to real life, they even record engine sounds going through the revs to get it right.

€39.99 in tesco btw, wish me luck tomorrow guys - freaking out!!

Put a link to Youtube or something if someone can!
RTE doesn't work over here! Cant watch it online if you're not in the country, stupid bloody RTE! Whats the point of that like?? If you're in the country you'll watch it on a freaking TV not a PC! Idiots.
Anyway, good luck! :D

Got back at 9.30 last night. 1 hour of filming turned into 5 hours. Really unnerving having a huge camera stuck in your face all day!! I think I did pretty ok on the interview part, although, in retrospect some of my answers sounded stupid as I was so nervous! I hope he edits it all out to make it look fantastic. :)

One of the questions threw me and I ended up making a hames of it, said to me:
"So your car is a bit of a head turner. I'm sure you turn heads when you get out of the car all the time?"

Am, ah, how the fook am I supposed to answer that?!

"Oh yes, why, I'm fantastic" or, "Obviously, I have to beat them off with a stick" FFS like, totally caught me off guard and started stuttering and mumbling stuff about how I'm not a girl racer and then it all went to crap and I told him to ask me questions I can actually answer :roll:

He also asked me why I chose the FTO and I spouted on about looks and the V6 engine and 197 brake horse power and OMFG what a nerd!!!!

Should be broadcast this week, probably 9 o clock news, I will let y'all know as soon as I know, and then you can all laugh and laugh at me. :( I don't know how people do that day to day!!

Car looks absolutely stunning in the game, screenshots don't do it justice.

Also, I am now the proud owner of Forza 3, a console, live subscription and hopefully some other bits and pieces :)
