it's so annoying because it will say "1min left", then you place a bid, get out bid and it goes back to 2mins?! goes on forever sometimes. i usually give up.

well yes.

Thats because after every bid it resets the counter to 2 minutes. So as long as people are still bidding, the clock wont run out.

Whats annoying is when your bidding against someone who doesnt realise this - so you bid, watch the clock count down. 2 mins. 1 min. You start to think yay ive won, and at the last second... they bid.

So you bid again straight away... and watch the clock tick down. 2 mins. 1 mins... and yup... someone's sat there thinking they can do an ebay smash and grab hehe

I think the game should carry a health warning.
How many people have gone to hospital with armchair sores since this game came out?
Not that I've read anything on the forza forums about hospital visits or anything wink

I'm with the majority here, absolutely hooked!

Had to lay off for the last couple of evenings as it was looking likely I was getting a divorce before even making it to the wedding, but should be back with a vengeance tonight if anyone fancies a couple of races biggrin

As for the 12hr endurance race on the ring, that is a bit full on, surely the guy got a tan from his HD tv after that long in front of it???
