I am going to have to find an online photo album to store all these pics. I don't want to fill my blog with just car pics from Gran Turismo 4, and it would be convenient for friends to be able to go to one link and view all the pics. I've completed the Sunday Cup races. Here are a couple of highlights from the events. Going head to head. A different track... This is what I got for completing the Sunday Cup - Autobianchi A112 Alarth '79. With the credits ...

More photos from Gran Turismo 4, using the in-game 'photo travel' function. I just got my A licence. Bronzed it, so I was rewarded with the Pontiac Sunfire.

They would actually step back when they see you coming. ...

Messed around in a few of the races and found out how much I sucked at driving. (I don't drive in real life so the public is safe.) This game just blows my mind. The graphics and the sound is just incredible. And I would shut off the background music just to listen to car engin...

Restarting sucks but I guess I'm gonna have to with this game. It's a real mental ache because I have put over 35 hours into this game. (It's a 80-100 hours kind of a game.) I made one stupid mistake of not playing around more with inventing better equipment for my characters. Now I'm stuck because I can't get past this boss character, Robin Wind. I am seriously lacking in good equipment. I guess I could backtrack but that in itself is a pain in the neck. In addition to have to fight...
