Occasional Tales

Treasure hunt. I drove an ugly car. I won 100FPs. Should I buy the AM Vulcan? I have one already. I don’t drive it that often (ditto FH4). On the other hand I do have a lot of FPs. It’s the reason why I don’t bother with HA’s unless I’m forced to. I used the 2000 Silvia for the weekly. I did the Basedrop (?) danger sign for that task. I flipped the car, but the ref said, “No foul”, and I almost did the same again, tipping the car onto one side like a Mancunian drunk on a Saturday night. I had to delay the photo because there was an HA in the way, but eventually got the clothing I so richly deserved. I could barely contain my squeals of delight in spite of a restraining order. The collectibles this week were tedious, but to be found in and around the golf course. The only thing about this week’s Eventlab, Sneezin’ Dragon Circuit , was that the PI was C600 on a tiddly little circuit. I liked the design elements well enough, but couldn’t see the point of this sausage course. I one-shotted...

More or less painful. I started with the Horizon Promo or whatever it’s called these days, and did the daily at the same time. The weekly challenge probably took about ten minutes unlike the FH4 weekly which had to be grindy just to be a pain. I PB’ed the speed trap, but the SWS was rubbish. The Trailblazer is the easiest one in the game, and the SWS was not quite rubbish. The speed zone was a pain. I tried the MB CLK-GTR because of the grip and turning, but it lacked the speed. I ought to have opted for the Rimac, but the Jesko managed to com­plete the task – eventually – and PB it. Another sort of all right SWS. I hated every loathsome minute of Street’d Lightning . If I wanted to race in the dark, I’d stick a paper bag over my head or switch my monitor off. At the end of it, I got a wheel spin – a rubbish wheel spin. Buggy Bug World featured cheating drivatar bastards. I opted for my B700 Alumi Craft Class 10 which is a decent off-roader, but the races got to Guanajuato and a bunch...
