Following a psychotic gaming episode where I wiped my two 8MB memory cards of all game saves and started from scratch again, I've just started Gran Turismo 3 (for about the 4th time).

This time my aim is to get 100% completion (something I've never achieved before due to those damn dirty Licence Tests) and collect some F1 cars along the way.

Have any of you actually 'completed' 100% the whole game? If so, how long did it take? (Without using cheats).

And what's in your garage? At present all I've got is the Toyota Trueno Sprinter and the MX-5(J), but hey, I only started this morning.

I got about 85% complete, and I also completed Concept fully. In my garage are about 70 cars. My fave in my garage is the LM Honda S2000. Such a fast cornerer. The Polyphony cars are also a blast! My fave car out of both PS2 versions of GT though is definetely the Red Bull Audi TT!

Couldn't agree more with you there. I've used Play alot more than I use SR for the simple fact....MONEY!

Think I'll be ordering that double pack tonight :D

most recent example - House of Dead 2 on PC (came out last month) Play.com £4.99 inc delivery, SR £9.99 - explain that one SR.

The two pack memory card for £24.99 is a steal. I got them a few weeks ago.

Play are great, I've ordered from them loads of times, always very prompt and usually cheaper than SR !

Good idea, only trouble is....I need another memory card :(

Think I might go and order one actually, my first one from launch day is just about full.

Ooops, haven't been there for ages ;)

I think I've managed to get about 70% completed in GT3 but then as always another game comes along and it's off playing that.

I think I've got about 60 - 80 cars in my garage, haven't looked at it for ages but I'd say one of my favourites is the Mazda 787B :)

I might even dig this out and have a blast tonight, I've still got a few races to complete, mostly endurance which can get a bit boring.

I have completed 100% twice without cheating, think it takes about 8 weeks of a few hours each day solid gaming from start to finish. I've about 140 cars, some of my sadder friends are trying to get all cars in all colours !

GT3 has the highest replay value of any game out there, only criticism is Time Trial 10 (Complex String in the Porsche) what a nightmare, took me 4 days to beat the 4.49.xxx time but I do now have an Xport replay from some guy in the States who has done it in 4.38.xxx so it can be done !

I have plenty of cars including the F1 rip-offs.

But out of all my cars I reckon my favourite is my Audi S4, it's jet black and also has black chromed alloys, oh, and it has 500+ BHP under the bonnet aswell.

It's not my fastest car but it gives me a decent challenge when I race. Those F1 cars just make the races boring.

Nothing.
GT sucks.
All night, all day long.
All year round.
For eternity*

And you all smell
