anyone with the new premier pack supermini let us know how it handles?

is it like one of the other minis or does it have a handling style all of its own?

[kaa0skrisse]

any way for us europeans to get our hands on that mini? I for one would love to have something different to try out on that category.

@Kegs11. I've only done several races with the Wasabi Kimachi but here are some slight observations I've made out:

-It seems to be rear-wheel drive, so handling isn't as tight as the FWD based Superminis. While doing ebrake-turns it seems less tight than the other three, which is where my assumption comes from

-It also seems to handle rough terrain much better than the other three as well. Normally I have an issue using the supermini on the rougher Mainline tracks, but it seems to have no issues with hitting bumps or debris. This is possibly due to an observable higher ride height in the model.

-It wants to stay airborne as long as possible. You know that little section of elevated freeway that is only available during lap 1 of "Rubbernecking?" I managed to clear the entire section in the Wasabi, just up the ramp and over. I have also managed, somehow, to crash it INTO the cliff-side huge canyon jump on the "End of the Line" track. Getting the Leap of Faith accolade in this Supermini is no issue.

I haven't used it myself but it seems to be quicker than the other super mini's? I was on City Limits in a rally car and it could keep up with me not only round the corners but also on straights!!! It isn't one of my favourite tracks or anything and my times are not very quick but he was keeping up with me on the straights which was suprising.

I noticed the straightspeeds of this mini too today, on some interstate track. And this made me want this car so much more since I'm kinda bored with the usual superminis by now. Favorite vehicle it still is but rarely gets used anymore since I'm trying to get the medals for the rest of the cars =0  not much left in that regard btw.

hope this comes as dlc for us eu citizens too.

Great thread! I put a lot of time into customizing my vehicles so it would be nice to show them off a bit. Time to get this thread back on topic!

My classic long-haul Indiana:

My Hayato:

My tuner Mirage 101:

My neon Ronin:

My mean green Blacksun:

My rustbucket Castro F80. Now with gray primer!

My race-converted Spetsnaz APC Chowhound:

My stylish racer Bobtail:

My totally insane fade-flame and glitter finish hot rod Shelka: (look at what the fade-flame does to the railings and the pipes on the roof!)

My Dakar-ready Bulkhead:

I hope you like!

Some cool customisation there chanic, liking the Blacksun and Castro!

Here are my favourite 3-

Voodoo Ridgetail

Patriot Bulkhead

Monarch Trophy Tourer (Probably the Carp_O vinyl (to Kegs11's orange and green) as its on 3 of my cars)

love they Hayato Chanic, mind if I steal it?

if so which livery is that plz

[Treliz]

Chanic which livery is the one you use for the camo on the mudplugger? I've been trying to get a decent camo effect for a while and can't find one that works really well.

As for the Castro F80, after unlocking the towbar thing on the back, mine became a homage to the Towmeister from Carmageddon, I need to wreck more people to get the sick front ram thing though to complete the look.

I've got a few cars that I simply can't find a decent livery for, they don't grab me in any particular way. I know i'll get criticised, but the Monarch Tike simply doesn't do anything for me. I did the first one up tuner-style, the second one like a pile of junk, but the Tike doesn't shout anything at me.

Same with the muscle cars, bizarrely. Apart from the Falfer Undertaker, the others have quite regularly been left on default whilst I try to come up with something.

I'm not too keen on using one livery for everything, and try to come up with a sort of backstory for the more unique vehicles/designs, either that or fall back on my emerging common style, based on ken block's race livery, black and white with light green detailing.

@ wildheart90:

Sure, go ahead. Glad you like it!

The livery is in the 41st row, left column. In other words, start on the 1st livery and go down 40 times.

The base paint color is black (I made mine glitter finish for  a carbon-esque effect). Vinyl color 1 is white. Vinyl colors 2 and 3 are both red.

@ Treliz:

15th row, left column. So start on the first livery and go down 14 times.

The thumbnail doesn't look much like camoflage so I didn't know what it was for a long time too. I believe it's also the default livery for the Chowhound and the Shelka. The hard part is finding colors that look ok with it. Almost everything is too colorful to be proper camo.
