r3v community Schwimmvagen!!!!!!!!! Pass it around, let everyone try her!

I've got next!

:)


yeah, I want to win that race and get the xp, but I don't want to buy something that I KNOW I wont use for anything else... Unless of course, they add in a water course...

What level is this vehicle required for?

[Ian Bowers]

Am I the only one who was stupid enough to actually buy a Schwimmvagen just to have one?

Send me (Tarkenchi) a friend request and I will send you mine. It's got more horsepower than my own M42E30. It's awesome.

Not alone man. I bought this a while ago and was happy to see an event for it. Its fun to drive fully modded.

[aintnothang]

Are those "race soft" tires???? LOL

spectacular shot!


"Hey bubba, Ya think if we add one of dese here rotatin fans to the back of tha kar that id'll go fastur than that coon ya poured some care-o-seen on and kicked in tha fire?"

[NigelStu]

"Hey coach! I can see it! I'm spinning my tires!!!!!!"

"It's all smoke 'n mirrors, Billy."


Seriously though, why is he looking in the mirror.

And how long did it take you to get these shots. Did they add a rewind/fast-forward function to the replays?

[5Toes]

^ Hahahaha

I bought one too. Almost fully modded... fully customizable tranny is a must, even in stock form. Im making like 110hp on stock tires and suspension.

Its a hard bonus race

[Falcone]

^ 5toes, I beat the second place guy by 38 seconds first try. 122hp, fully lightened (just over 800kg iirc) race softs. Tune the trannyto 155mph, and the suspension like you like it. I lapped four other people.

Definitly. I felt so stupid buying them, but they fit the car perfect.

I only noticed him looking in the mirror after I uploaded them. I thought it was cool.He's checking out his one tire fires (has a lsd, but only spins the left tire)

As for the shots, loaded my favourite track, and literally did the first four turns, exited, and paused where it looked cool.They turned out killer. That car is a blast to drive. Don't know about the replays, they need to add a rewind, ff feature for sure.

and another of the flying Schwimmvagen

I LOVE my fully modded Schwimmvagen. That bonus race was cake with it. Am I the only one that got it in that matte beige color though? I was mad when it didnt give me the paint chip -_-

[5Toes]

I got it in desert too

[NigelStu]

Screw it - I'm buying one too. You guys sound like you're having too much fun with these things! I'm not missing out on that action! Anyone up for a Schwimmvagen race???


And now that I just beat the Ring race in my '76 GTI (by 20 some seconds, with a crash and a poor choice in gearing...), I have enough monies to get get one. :)

[NigelStu]

Yup - easy race, especially fully modded. But fun! Those other cars were basically slow-moving chicanes!

Needs some tuning, this bitch is tail happy under braking! Ended up spinning in the tight "S" on the back half of the track on lap 3, loose on lap 5 (I'd like to blame that one on the last place car - 2nd time I was lapping him, estimated closing speed of 100 mph..). But I still managed to win by over a minute.

I'm up for racing my York Green Schwimmer!

Found this site, kinda cool. Just started my profile. I don't have my full garage on there yet.
