Yeah, I'm away on hols just now, with Internet almost as bad as Gambit's. So it keeps doing odd things.

It's out officially tomorrow I think? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A slightly cheaper version which we've got as well as the Lintran crate is the Ruffwear seat cover/hammock. We use this with a bit of vet bed on it for comfort. Can still be used with seat belts etc, very good and folds away quite small. http://www.ruffwear.co.uk/dirt-bag

Would also be good if we could get together a list of gamer tags etc so we can all know who's going to be on and we can join up, weight try another meet, we had a really good one on Forza Horizon 2 but attendance at others was a bit lax. Anyway, my GT is as my username on here "Dogconker" I do most of the painting on the Forza games so it's worth checking out my auction house entries etc as I have quite a few Subaru designs.

Which bit?? if you mean the Forza Hub but then that's an app you can get on Xbox that allows you access to Forzamotorsport.net, registering gets you 350k each week you can download to your game to spend. It also means you can collect the extra cars for having played previous Forza games by doing the tiers. You can check on Forza rewards page on FM.net and Gambit's drivatar is always a pain on this game,it's because it learns his he drives

It looks like there will be horizon car meets you can set up, on s video I noticed there was a signs ice one of the hanger entrances at the airstrip which said as much, they guy doing the vid tried to get in but it kept resetting him back to the main runway so it may be something to come later. Quite like the idea of coop main story line though. i think the first thing I'll be doing is buying done cars and getting them up on Auction house, just got 350k to spend from Forza Hub rewards so worth signing up to that if you haven't already. I get home tomorrow so know what I'll be doing 😉

I think there will be a few of us on, keep an eye out for my car designs too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's your internet is the biggest issue. I don't buy any other game as a digital download but the Forza games I keep anyway so the resale thing doesn't worry me. Just want to get my hands on it but any until Tuesday evening now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like s good plan, im away at the minute so can't do much, what does a club do? Anything much or just link you together when online. I'll make sure the club logos go up as soon as I can get them up for grabs then we'll have the SOC logos for those that want them on their cars

There's a few things people do with manual gearboxes that they shouldn't do, sitting with your foot on the clutch pedal shouldnt affect the clutch life but will affect the thrust bearing as its this that is holding the clutch off. Also sitting with your hand on the gear lever will reduce the same bearing life. Doing things like rev matching, especially downshifting will reduce clutch wear significantly. I have always rev matched manual clutches and I've never had a car long enough to replace one yet.

I thought the hill assist worked off the rear brakes rather than holding the clutch? Plus the hill start assist will only hold for a few seconds on the XV? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fortnately in the deisel boxer you don't notice that power loss. 😉

I can't say ive noticed any noise really, not more than any other car. But mine is a 2014 model so maybe that why? how much was the part anyway?

Yes it is

I've built a massive complex, just working on my house, built a big greenhouse and a workshop so yes I have built quite a lot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll post up a vid of my new base when I've finished it, just finished the shopping centre!

For anyone interested, Forza Horizon 3 Demo is now available for download off Xbox Live

You should get an update at every service. If not it would be worth speaking to your dealer who may (if they're nice) offer to check it for you

However we ran both our systems regularly pretty much left them on auto yet both had the same seal go at the same age/mileage.

Your MPG does seem a little low, I'm currently just doing 10miles a day in town driving (and a bit of putting my foot down) and I'm stil getting 44-45mpg, but my wife that is doing about 40 miles each day on a mix of roads including about 10miles on motorway is getting 48-50

I run mine on auto, I believe, and I'm hoping an expert can jump in and confirm this, that you're supposed to run your aircon on auto so the it is used regularly as this help maintain its reliability. That's what I've been told. To be fair it's a pretty low effect on your fuel economy but more fuel efficient than having the windows open

If you want a survival game try Ark which is currently 40% off on XBL at the minute. Cross between Jurassic park and Minecraft. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well after all the hype it turned out to be utter tosh, shame the concept looked epic

I've been sucked into Fallout, 5hrs in and I haven't even left the first settlement. Got a mod running to allow me to build as much as I want so it's now become fallout 4 Minecraft Edition, might set off into the wilds soon got a coupe of weeks off work from next Wednesday, sadly I'll actually be away when Forza Horizon comes out so I'll need to catch up later. I'll get the TT times track car out next week so Gambit stops moaning about it
