After months of not finding it in store, I found one less than the typical Premium msrp here

The M3 GTR is my favourite car ever because of NFS

New releases take ages to show up here. And usually premiums cost around 13-14€. I've eve seen a new collection marked at 23€ lol.

Haven't seen any of the "new" boulevards in store.

So a week back I looked on Vinted and offered a guy 11.5€ for it. He accepted. Not only that, but he posted it the next day at 7AM, and it arrived early in the best packaging i've ever seen. Everything was mint.

This casting is amazing. Couldn't be happier.

The review thread on Steam is genuinely hilarious

Only 6 planes for 80€

Paid skin dlc day one

"But we're not charging DCS level" that's a very low bar, especially since the level of detail isn't quite the same either

The Yokosuka R2Y1 Keiun, a Japanese high-speed, high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft prototype.

The design is inspired by the He-119. Powerplant is an Aichi Atsuta Ha-70 24 cylinder engine that is basically two Aichi 30 series (license-built DB 601) inverted V12's coupled together. Without the turbocharger, the engine was rated at 3100hp on take-off and 3060hp at 3000m.

By late 1944, due to the situation Japan was in, the plane was no longer needed, so the program was almost cancelled. However the designers convinced the higher ups that the plane could be easily converted into a fast attack bomber. The power plant would be switched to two Mitsubishi Ne 330 jet engines, one under each wing, giving it an estimated top speed of 797km/h. The new version would be designated R2Y2 (known to War Thunder players).

The construction of the R2Y1 prototypes continued in order to assess the qualities of the design. The first prototype was completed in April 1945 with no turbocharger, pressurization and intercooler.

It took to the skies for the first and only time either on 8th May 1945 or on 29th May 1945, depending on the source. The flight was short because the engine overheated and the engine bay caught fire. The pilot made it back to the airfield and landed. The little damage was repaired quickly and on 31st May 1945 the engine overheated again during a ground test when the power applied was higher than planned. The engine was then removed to repair the damage. The aircraft then sat until it was destroyed by Japanese personnel to avoid capture. The second prototype was never completed.

Slightly modified Twingo

When you give dairy to your lactose intolerant twingo

Actually a Twingo fitted with a jet engine from an ex-Patrouille de France Fouga Magister jet trainer, modified with an afterburner.

Moved from PC to PS5, and made a new fit (also featuring Johnny & Jackie)

My PC is not very strong and I wanted better performance & visuals.

I do miss my pose mods

Tried to recreate one of my favourite cars I drove on Forza Horizon 3... a pink Nissan GT-R (see link in comments for comparison)
