This look familiar but think I saw it from my rear view mirror.
This game has been a blast and very addicting. My wife used to complain I was never home, always at storage working on my Fieros. She's happy I'm home alot more, but now she complains I spend too much time on Forza. Can't win Must try to go to bed before she get up tonight/ this morning.

I just have to say this is a total BLAST. I am still learning what the XBOX does and how to do it, as I have been a PS3 geek for the last few years, but I had to go out and buy the entire XBOX setup just for this.
250gb Kennect Bundle (sp) Forza 4 Chat Pad 2nd Wireless Rechargeable Controller Headset and Mic
Thankfully I have a 100mb Cable Internet connection with a 5mb upstream so all these downloads and updates are quick.
My gamer tag is CaptFiero if anyone wants to add me, I have not yet figured out how to get onto any groups or clubs, but will figure that out soon enough.

Somebody gifted a Fiero (with logos for a paintball place) to me the other day. I'd just like to say thanks, because I didn't recognize the xbox live gamertag. I turned it into the Forza 4 equivalent of my real life Fiero.

So should we start collecting money for the members without headsets? $3 buys one from Hong Kong.
I'm down for that, set up an account that will ship the item directly to whom ever needs one. I hear the Kinect is great but the reverb on it can get annoying after awhile.
To those whom I've met online, if you haven't guess yet, my gamer tag is the same as my PFF tag. I know I got to add some of you to my friends list.
Thanks for the warm welcome last night guys. Hopefully I did not hold too many of you up while I was figuring things out, LOL. I'll do search for the club garage thing and get signed up so that at least I'll be driving the same cars as the group. I am wondering if there is something wrong with my headset or if it is normal. I bought the Microsoft Brand wired headset came with the chat pad keyboard, and although most of the time I could hear everyone fine, it would seem to cut in and out a bit, is that normal for the live chat.
Well all in all it was a lot of fun, wished I had more time to spend. See ya online again.

Was it in Forza's chat or xbox live group chat? I've noticed that the Forza built in chat sucks. That's why I stick to xbox party chats. Also, add me N3M3S1S357

The Party chat worked the best, but that is where I got lost at one point, someone suggested to go to the party chat. So I stumbled my way into the party chat, then a min or 2 later I could hear everyone talking about rolling over and not being able to corner and realized that everyone had started a new race with the hummers, by the time I made it back, I was getting lapped by someone else, then manged to get screwed up and stuck in the "pit" lane.
So yes it was in the Forza chat that it was the most chopped up language wise. I did have torrents running, but it was only using maybe 5% of my total bandwidth available. I have a bit of an over the top internet connection of 100mb down / 5mb up.

It's ready to go, If you get the Alaskan's address I can have one shipped directly to him.

When your in the game lobby simply select one of our names that has the "[pff]" tag next to it, it will pop up with a menu with a option to apply to the club.
Enjoy your new cars.

I hope you are not springing for everything shipping and all that....... drop us a paypal address I know I can kick out a couple bucks to go towards it. Come to think of it, I need to kick Cliff a couple bucks too. Lets spread this Christmes Cheer Around.
The $3 covers the shipping but it will be slow, it will take a few weeks, If a little more($4.19) is donated I can have one shipped from the US and it will arrive much faster. I was lazy when I searched the for first one, If I had known one shipped from the US was that cheep I would not have suggested the Hong Kong one.

Thank you both very much for the gifts, as soon as I get the address I will get them ordered and on there way. Estimated delivery between Tue. Dec. 20 and Mon. Dec. 26
Kinda O/T but can someone point me to the best all around XBOX 360 Tweaking Hacking forum. Specifically a place to give me some step by step newbie instructions on getting 3rd party software / applications onto the machine so that I can unleash a bit more of its potential. By seeing the way it runs Forza and plays the Fiero, I know the CPU power and hardware must be amazing and must be better than the PS3, however right now the PS3 beats out the XBOX due to its software abilities in my eyes. I want to make the XBOX my main rig for everything. Media Machine, and I'd love email support too. P.S. I was browsing the XBOX gadgets and don't see anything else that looks interesting, any suggestions on stuff to make Forza play better.
The only major thing I don't have is a wheel and pedals, however am not sure how much of a real difference that will make as I have used wheels and pedals in the past for games and they were only ho hum. Unless they have gotten a lot better.

Seconded. Don't start playing with homebrew software and all that jive unless you're totally aware of the possible implications, and having your console banned from the Xbox Live service is just one. The only official method of loading your own software on is to use XNA, but there's subscription fees involved and really, unless you're developing for the 360, it's not really worth while.
The hardware is powerful, sorta. Last I heard as far as official numbers, it's a PowerPC CPU clocked at 3GHz-ish with three cores, and the graphics hardware is an ATI Radeon variant from around the X1900 sort of performance range. It's alright, but it's no scratch on modern computing power - it's got more in common with an Apple Power Macintosh G5 than anything else.

Guys I love that we have so many people in the club.
We need to have some guidelines regarding the Club garage.
1. NO stock cars (Only cars that have been upgraded/tuned and painted)
2. Do not put multiple duplicate cars (Same model but different class is OK- for now)
3. Please try to limit the amount of cars shared. Keep it reasonable (5-10). There IS a garage limit and once it is full that is IT until Darth deletes cars.
I am just trying to save garage space for the new members to share their creations as well. Some of you guys have shares A LOT of cars.
Sound good?

Agreed. The garage is saturated with Fieros and basic cars in there right now.

I have tried the Microsoft and Fanatec csr wheel with pedals. I didn't have time to get used to the fanatec but I can tell you the Microsoft one was much better than expected. The feedback really helps you feel the limit of the grip in the game. I haven't used the Microsoft wheel with forza 4 yet, only forza 3.

I'm currently sharing 2 cars, a '69 Camaro Z28 modded for drag racing (S Class), and a stock Bugatti Veyron. I only added the Veyron because it wasn't in the garage already, and not everyone will have access to it.
If you'd like me to "unshare" either of those cars, let me know. Also, if you want me to mod and/or tune the Veyron, I can do that too.
Must try to go to bed before she get up tonight/ this morning.
