Greetings everyone! My name's Richard Dreemurr, I'm 28 years old and I recently got off the boat from Greece to USA. I brought along my car all the way from there.


I still have the Greek plates on it, I just have to register it and yabba dabba, you know. It's gonna be my daily, and as far as the project car goes, I'll eventually find something. But first, I must settle down on the new house I've bought in Valo City, find a job that pays off, and then get into the whole car scene.
For now, I just got off the boat and I'm about to start driving to my new house. Now, what brought me all the way from Greece to Valo? Well, I've heard, read and seen about some guy with a Ferrari F355 beating some other guys in East Valo and basically being called King of Speed or something like that. It was in a magazine, may show it later. But basically, that's what brought me here, and the will to find him and show him who's truly boss... Anywho, this is a start of a nice adventure!

(Disclaimer: This RP takes place in Valo

(Also: May contain A HELLALOT of hints of unrealisticness... Probably)

(Changed location to Valo just for easier something)

Definitely. It's not staying stock, I'll change most of it...
Keep in mind it's my daily, so not many changes are gonna happen to it. We'll see.

I was hoping you were still living in Greece, would've been nice to have somebody from the site fairly near (I'm from Bulgaria). Anyway sounds like this could be interesting, expecting updates. ;)

I finally arrived home. So here's what happened while I was away:
I saw the F355 racing on the highway to my new home! It was a blast!

These two were neck to neck, until the F355 started pulling away... By a lot.
The Ferrari seems to have gone under massive changes... Changed lights for more lightweightness, a Spoiler, it looks lighter and new rims. Who knows what has been done to the engine...
The black Merc started slowing down to my speed, AKA cruise speed. (Can we please ignore the mismatching skyboxes between two pics? <3)

It seems to me that many people attempt to challenge it, but only few can manage to keep up.
Later, when I arrived at West part of California I saw a car crash.


The car was obviously written off, the driver's side was thankfully very strong and didn't get much damage, and the engine flew miles away.
The dude was very injured, and now he's at the hospital resting. Ambulance came as fast as it could.
And at last, I finally arrived at home. Home sweet home... I also finally got my car registered, and I finally put the plates.

This is the beginning of a great adventure! My new house in Valo.

@giacomo I'm unsure about the future yet. First I'll need a project car that will be put against the F355.

That F355 looks mean, you will need a nice tunned car to beat it. I heared stories about that F355 and that he got beaten once by a 2008 GT500.The owner of the GT500 Died in a crash but the car is at a junkyard somewhere in SF. Actualy I though to checkout the junkyards around SF my self for that snake but since u wanna beat the crap out of that guy my advice is to go look for it. Since its bean in a accident the car may be in a condition where u could actualy repair it and in a condition where you couldn't fix it. But it will be cheap go take a look ;) Good luck

I'm sorry but this story sounds like a massive lie to me. Nowhere has it ever been mentioned that it got beaten, even the F355's driver still remains a mystery so he couldn't have told anyone to not tell it. Besides, if it was beaten, it'd not roam around anymore.

(Please do not try to alter my story. I appreciate that you want to participate but I'd like to control my story and my RP. Thank you for understanding.)

Well then I am sory but I am in Japan looking for cars and got a friend in the states that told me about a GT500 in the states that has beaten a F355, it seams that the one isn't your F355. No need for agrresion just trying to help. Well since I will go to the states to check on that GT500 would you mind to meed and have a coffee.

Wait, don't tell me you saw that Gulf F355? I remember reading about it in some magazine back when I still had my bike and lived in Palm Springs. You're lucky.

Hey, I think I remember reading about that a ways back. I don't even remember when that was, but, It's cool to see that car still getting some action. I wonder if you will be able to take it down, hmm?

Ah, here it is! The magazine that announced the defeat of the EB110!

Aaaaaanyway, found a 3000GT for V$5,500 yesterday, and I bought it.


Pretty good shape, some scratches up front, but nothing that can't be fixed!
Gotta register it now and I'm all set to use it!
Here it is in the driveway! Corolla's inside the garage.

How did you get a license to own and operate tugboats on the inland? Anyway, good luck.

@Driftphantom Thanks m8!
@GoverningNick At least my car doesn't look like a hippiemobile on steroids ;)

So I took the 3000GT for a ride today. Took the highway, since that's where action happens in East Valo. It was quite fun to drive!

Although, Nick here isn't wrong! The car DOES handle like a tugboat and understeers a lot. Thankfully wasn't going fast enough to spin into a wall and fly to oblivion.


Anyway, as I was driving down the highway, I flew past an Integra, which seemed to be cruising. Turns out it started following me.
But either the driver is EXTREMELY bad at downshifting, the tranny had a problem, or it is a ricer. He ate dust, and when I saw his face after I slowed down and let him pass, he was quite pissed off.


Well then, one at a time! Although, I'm afraid I might have accidentally challenged some sort of group or crew or something. Oh well, I'll brush them off with the 3000GT. Although, I'll definitely need to upgrade it properly so it won't do all this. First change, weight reduction as much as possible at home.

Added 21 minutes later:

And in all my excitement to drive it, I didn't notice that I drove the car without plates! Welp, it's illegal only if you're caught doing it.

Whew! Today was quite a tiring day.I had to go pick up the plates for the 3000GT, and then when I got home, I had to install the plates.
Gotta say they look magnificent on it!

Why are the car's doors and trunk open? Weight reduction bro.

That's right. I took off all I could from the 3000GT that added weight, and sold them for some bucks, got somewhere at V$488 or so for them. It's not much of a weight reduction, but anything will do.
After stripping the interior, I decided to go give the highway another shot. That is, until a black BMW passed by, at a speed quite slow.
It wasn't pulling away, and I couldn't just let him go away like that! So I raced him.

Also one of your chances to see the aero spoiler on action!
Anyway, after some minutes, I pulled ahead, and left him behind.

After a lot of driving, I exited the highway to head home, but the BMW driver was still behind me. We drove alongside for a while, until he had to take a turn.

All I gotta say is, when I saw his face he wasn't happy. At all. And something tells me that he's connected with the other Integra driver. Welp, I'm making a name for myself.

As an Ex-3000GT owner...They don't handle badly nor do they understeer badly, at high speeds it's one of the most stable cars I've owned, I am actually looking into buying another one...

Well, you can blame the old wheels RinKK. They were eaten up and caused the car to slide a lot, and the suspension seems to be a little bit uh.....
What's up everyone, I've been away for some time, because I've been busy. The 3000GT has had some changes. I've changed the wheels, installed new turbos, changed colour, added a rollcage and some other changes



And I've been racing a lot on the highway, making a name for myself and such. If I want the bigger names to take notice, I have to make myself heard.


AAaaaaaaaanyway let's cut to the main part. I received a text by Boosted, asking me to be on the lookout for an RX-7. And so I did. This happened the day I received the text. I was driving on the highway, when I indeed saw a yellow RX-7 with brand new, unpainted panels.

The driver was a lunatic! He kept crashing all over the place, desparately trying to hit me. I, of course, dodged him, and let him pass forward. I kept following, until eventually I heard a loud bang, smoke coming out and his hazard lights, all while exiting the highway.
That's all for today folks!
