That One Time I Wanted To Write a Story

A long time ago (2012), I wanted to make a detective story related to automobiles, racing and the usual. Also, if you weren't here in November or December of 2012, the hero car has been voted upon and somehow, the E39 M5 won the most votes.

Fast forward to April 24th, 2014 (one day before my birthday) and well - I'm not letting that project die anymore. However, I will not (under any circumstances) be releasing chapters on a set schedule nor will I be releasing them in a short amount of time. To ensure that every single chapter reaches the highest level of quality possible, I will need to take some time.

As soon as I get 1 finished, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , so stay tuned~!

Well, nice car!

What the baddies is getting?

I remember one day i tried to write a detective-special agent stories sort of thing. But instead because i'm a Mercedes fan, my main character drove a very late model first gen CL600 in silver. While the baddies got 1999 Alfa 166 3.0 V6, Evo IX, and Bentley Arnage. All black.

Come on, a CL600 chasing down a Bentley arnage while engaged in some kind of gun-war, how brilliant is that?

I'll finish it soon. I don't know when, but soon.

Damn, now that you reminded me, I really need to think about what the baddie would be and he would be driving (if it's plausible.)

Well, normally i choose a massive 4-door saloon with big engines and looks intimidating.

How about Toyota Century?

Later on the novel i was planned to add a TRD Century, some kind of one-off i imagined for my novel. It's like the century, but powered by the same engine like VIP Crown Majesta.

Toyota has a car called TRD VIP Crown Majesta, which is a Crown Majesta but instead of V8 they fit a V12 from a century, and twin turbo it, so the engine makes 650hp and 1100Nm.

But i cancel it because i can't find more info about that Crown monster, and use the Arnage instead.

I'd probably wouldn't be the one to say this, but it never hurts to keep trying.

It took me 1 year to finally get some motivation to start chapter 1 (until you reminded me about the baddie) and the hero car was on the verge of being an FRS.

Though I should probably hold a oppo-unity vote to decide what the baddie's car might be, and I might use your suggestions!

I've been wanting to do a comic strip for OPPO for ages now. With my birthday in a few days this has motivated me. Now I just need ideas. :(
