In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
Bastards, my Tommy Gun is gone, they said we could keep it 
It was my lvl 5 character's life insurance.

Maybe something like this is more in your range?
Being the only one to destroy the container on Coveted...I feel dead inside. Bloody trees
I usually do that mission with the Buzzard - quicker and doesn't cost any ammo
New toys in the garage....

Which do you prefer to drive?
Not had a massive amount driving each of them as of yet. The Turismo is better to drive, which you'd expect with the price difference but prefer the looks of the Jester.
Nah, I was just a heavy player at the beginning before the various mission payout cuts and played in a lot of missions that Makki ran (who was the highest leveled at the time and had access to the ones with the best payouts).
Pics (missing the bifta which I've got since, but think that was cheap to buy):
My garage (album link):
Declasse Granger (Fully Upgraded)
Canis Mesa
Truffade Adder
Bravado Gauntlet (Fully Upgraded)
Obey Tailgater (Fully Upgraded)
Imponte Phoenix (Fully Upgraded)
Annis Elegy RH8
Pegassi Vacca (Fully Upgraded) - colour is bit dark so might change it
Dinka Akuma (Fully Upgraded)
Got one spot left.
I'm liking the look of the new cars. Not sure what to get and which cars to replace yet though. I hope the rumour about multiple properties is true, and is implemented before these new cars go, if they are removed.
I wonder how much money I'd have left if I didn't blow up random cars so often.
I've sold most of my car collection, only drive a few so the rest just gather dust. Currently got the Eleghy*, Akuma, Bifta*, Sabre Turbo, Jester & Turismo R.
* Can't sell.
* Can't sell.
I pissed away a lot on my Stinger GT. Didn't realise I'd have been able to get the Jester and Turismo for less combined.
You can get rid of the ones you can't sell by replacing them, right? If you have a full garage...
They won't be removed.
I do want the ability to have another garage. I'd like to have one fully modded car of each class, to be able to race in any custom type of race, if it ever gets to that point, but that would prevent me from having more of one of each class and some are just to fine to pass on.
Hoping for more high-end stuff, would like businesses, if they really come, to cost millions but generate some nice revenue when you're playing.
Got about a million for now and will try to save for the future, have no idea what will be the cost of stuff to be implemented in times to come. Will probably buy one of the new cars, but only when I can buy them and don't stay skint again.
Oh I'm quite torn over which one to buyNew toys in the garage....
Was doing some tests with Levo's new cars in the airport strip and in Down the Drain race (without slipstream).
I'd say the Turismo R and the Entity XF are virtually indistinguishable in terms of performance. Exactly the same. Turismo R has a back window, which probably can be shot at unlike the Entity. They both handle very well.
The Sports cars, in terms of off the line acceleration it looked like Carbo > Jester > Feltzer. After that though, it's Feltzer > Jester > Carbo in terms of top speeds. Feltzer can reach Jester's speed pretty quickly and then gains ground on longer straights. Coupled with it's insane stability and easiness to drive, it makes the Feltzer in my opinion the best Sports car for racing, unless you can really handle a Carbo in turns. EDIT: That was on Down the Drain, in an improptu race in a highway straight Feltzer and Jester were toe to toe all the way but the initial acceleration.
Overall differences are small and in non-long-highway races probably irrelevant when you account for driver's skill and slipstream, so it's a matter of taste above all.

Agreed, acceleration was a tad better in the Turismo then the Entity but that was it.
Jesta was slightly quicker then the Carb and the Feltzer had a higher top end speed then the Jesta.
In the races on DTD no car pulled away from the other and all 2 lap races were finished within 1-2 seconds of each other.

You can get rear louvers on the Jesta, I'd recommend it as it replaces the rear window so you can't get shot at from behind.
I love louvers just as much as I love the word louvers
How about an evening of doing a mix of races, missions, deathmatches and other jobs? Chance to try your new cars and weapons in both. One can make a lot of money that way, not as much as grinding specific high paying missions, but it's a much better mix of fun/money-making. I'd guess most people spent some serious money today, and it would be nice to prepare ahead of the next update.
PS: That playlist we've done yesterday was the most fun I've had in this game for a while. Would be up for doing others, even the standard ones from before (with themes such as the desert, etc). Back then they glitched a lot, but judging from recent experience that seems to no longer be a problem.

So who's up for that playlist again. Swoosh and Arruda are on too.
Scumbagging you all on the bike ramp race was the best feeling ever.
Loved that Laguna Seca full of people, couldn't connect back
My god I've never encountered something so utterly soul destroying in a game. Really enjoyed that session. Bought the jester afterwards. Very nice
Really enjoyed the playlist too - except for keeping getting thrown out of the session
That series of ramps over the water on the bikes was ridiculous!!

Myself and Maka will be on from about 6pm, anyone else aboot the place?
Yeah maybe.
I'll be pottering about.
No maybe's, if's, and's or but's. Your in like Flynn
See you on there Levo, if we get 4 thats a great start for some playlist action and so on.
I'm pretty ill at the moment so depends how I feel but I just took a tablet that should let me feel ok til later tonight so I'll prob be in like Flynn.
I'll be on this afternoon as well. You lads wanna try some Rockstar playlists?
I'm out. Got a friend coming over.
Are the lists of cars for online and offline different?
Me an Arruda online.
nope
Cheers, had a look at the car list and I have never seen half of them when I played through the campaign :s
Ah they are all there during it. It's probably the best place to get a feel for what you like without spending any online dollars. Although you can just buy the free elegy once you have an apartment. It's a solid car aswel.
Agree - that was my staple car until I bought the Turismo. Was never the fastest car, but definitely the best value - and the only cars faster are the super cars (over $100k).
Sorry about last night, internet gave way so couldn't be arsed to come back on.
