My son is really into his games and recently bought Forza Horizon 4. This is a bit more interesting than a lot as it's set in the UK and there are a lots of UK cars in it now from Peel P50's to classic Range Rovers !
There is a lot of the normal game stuff but you can just jump in a car and drive around. I've managed to have a bit of a go on it myself and found it quite easy to get on with. I was never any good at the older driving games but it seems the better and more realistic they get the easier they are to drive.
My Mum was visiting so I got my son to build a replica of her old Anglia and I got to drive my old Civic again although the closest you can get is a CRX.
Unfortunately Toyotas, Lexus and Mitsubishi are missing from the game this time just hope they add some more old UK cars. It's possible to drive Blasphemi around a UK town centre if you feel the need.

You do know, you can hunt for barn finds in the game and fix them etc. Escort rs turbo is one I know for certain. When did ing around randomly, look for old barns garages etc.

I do, well sort of, my son has most of them already ! The Range Rover is only available in winter as you have to drive across a frozen lake to find it. I hope that doesn't make it sound like I know that much but we are slowly being brain washed. He gets up in the morning and comes in to see us and will start talking about it even before we wake up ! He is only 8 just hope he isn't still doing the same when he is 16 !

Yup, the Range Rover, and indeed the Series III SWB both look stunning. He is only 8 just hope he isn't still doing the same when he is 16 ! Shouldn't be too bad. I spent a lot of time playing driving games (and making mods for them) in my early teens as I didn't have the money or skills to be messing with cars, and neither parent did much asides drive them. However, getting to spend time doing stuff in my uncle's workshop (with his guidance and supervision) and the Aquisition of an income stream led to me moving onto doing my own cars etc. I'm now 33, work as an agricultural engineer, spend a lot of time outside work playing with cars, and am also thrilled at the fact that my 8 year old daughter is showing quite a bit of interest in engineering, and enjoys coming to the workshop with me. She likes playing the odd driving game on my old PlayStation, but to be fair isn't that bothered by it.

They have added extra UK cars this time around, e.g. London Taxi Austin Healey and Sprite MGB GT Morris Minor Austin Cooper S Bowler 1931 Bentley Lotus Cortina Ford Escort, Cosworth Reliant Supervan III James Bond car pack - gadgets and all! The Esprit you can even turn into submarine mode Full list www.windowscentral.com/forza-horizon-4-car-listThere is a global weather cycle - one season per week. This week is currently winter as you can see above. It is a fantastic way to waste time (although I could spend that time fixing a real car)

After reading Oukie' post this is now on my purchase list! Such a shame they only cover the 80's/90's hot hatch era with a 1983 Golf GTI, 1986 Ford Escort RS Turbo and a 1992 Lancia Delta HF Integrale EVO! They need to add a Peugeot 205 GTI, Renault 5 GT Turbo, Fiat Uno Turbo, Daihatsu Charade GTti, Citroen AX GT, Nissan Sunny/Pulsar GTiR, Vauxhall Nova/Astra GTE/GSI to name but a few! Good to see a Corrado VR6 though!

This game is incredible. The thread doesn't do it justice so far, but here is a vehicle list - and yes daver555 there is a 205, and way more hot hatches than just the three you mentioned. Take a look: www.windowscentral.com/forza-horizon-4-car-listneedless to say you can paint, sticker, vinyl, tune and comprehensively modify all these cars, it's great. I might try and post some of the cars I've built later, but I imagine as soon as I put it on I'll just start playng and not come back...
