Monte Carlo FE - Look out you don't knock a plane out the sky

I was lucky enough to get a Ford SVO FE and the Monte Carlo FE within about 4 races of each other so not complaining but I think they reworked the front wheels of a Penny-farthing bicycle for the Monte. I could barely see the road for the clouds. Once you Hobblegate it wouldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding but it is a lofty little number so you might be able to drive over the top of the pack. I will need a ladder to get in and out of it.

I really don’t know what they were thinking with that one. :frowning:

GTA:V added a vehicle called the “Donk”. The Monte Carlo FE is Forza’s attempt to copy it.

The GTA version has brakes the size of manhole covers.

Speaking of manhole covers…

Not copying, it’s a thing some people do in real life.

Forza copying GTA? Sad state of affairs. R.I.P Forza! :joy:

That looks hilariously awesome. I want it for the sheer absurdity.

It’s a Cobra R, not an SVO. Two different cars, although I would love an SVO in Forza.

I’m another one of those people that hates this car, it’s ridiculous and ugly, I would gladly trade any other car as an FE for the Monte.

Thanks, I don’t know where I got SVO from when it is SVT.

I don’t mind the Monte because it is paired with one of my favorite tracks but those wheels are going that’s for sure. I would hate anyone to see me out and about in that LOL. Others will love it.

No worries. I figured it was a typo, but corrected that in case a) it wasn’t and b) someone came here looking for an actual SVO.

Oh okay. I guess we can’t knock them for lack of variety here. I was looking at it in the garage thinking that’s a mighty set of rims you got there but it really hit home on the rolling start when I was trying to figure out what’s that little bucket of snot on the left I am about to leave tire marks on the roof of and realized it was a Torana it looked like a little Opel. The good news is despite being a bit underpowered it held the road better than I thought.

When i get home from work tonight i might just pump as much power into it as possible and try to make it backflip from acceleration.

Got this joke of a car as a bonus from something. Possibly from owning the UE, but I’m not sure.

Probably a level up bonus, that is the only place to get it so far as we know.

I absolutely would have skipped it and taken the 50k credits instead. Definitely got it some other way than leveling.

For some reason i’ve not received those 2 FEs you mentioned above. I only remember getting any through the Forza cup, VIP and some duplicates gifted by T10 as their way of saying sorry for false-advertising.

I think it was Level Up 276 you should be getting close to the Cobra and very shortly after that the Monte. Both good to get.

What I’m trying to figure out is how I got this car in the first place. Fired up FM7 for the first time and boom! it was in my garage.

I see what you did, there.

Having said that: for some reason, the Monte Carlo FE doesn’t bother me. It should, especially as I’ve made my point many times about how I think the car list is just one, big steaming pile of quantity over quality, but it doesn’t bother me nearly as much as do the various off-road trucks, that limo you mention and the side-by-side, which is probably the stupidest car I’ve ever seen in a track-based racing game. Ever.

Another stupid car that that has no place in a FM game. What’s next, a stretch limo?

I have no idea what the OP is saying. “Penny farthing bicycle?” “Skin of the rice pudding?”

Anyways I have no issue with it. Every car has a place.

*edit. Level 276? I’m not level 100 yet and I’ve had this car for a while. I don’t remember if it was a loot crate.
