Special Thanks to:
------------------

* 5tephen for touching up the original textures, and thereby giving me an excellent base
  to make new paintjobs and damage textures
* Barracuda and PRO_Ironchair for introducing me to the world of alpha channeling
* Barracuda, PRO_Ironchair, TEK_XACTO for test driving & for answering many questions
* Oleg M, Armed and DWI, GTS_Mike, and None1a for their well explaining tutorials
* all others I forgot for helping me solve many problems


Software used to create this vehicle:
-------------------------------------

* ZModeler v1.0
* VCK 1.4
* Corel Photo-Paint 8.369
* Photoshop 5.5
* GoldWave 4.24


Known bugs:
-----------

* There is no dash, because I couldn't find dash pictures that I could work with :-(
  However, you get a cool bumper view instead...
* The car hits curbs, but that's not really a bug, it has to hit curbs to be realistic !
* As an opponent, the Bugatti will sound like a default Cadillac, I couldn't get it to use
  the new sound files.
* It's possible that you'll see dark shaded areas on the car. To get rid of this, turn up
  the lighting quality (it's a setting in the graphic options menu)
* The vehicle reflections are restricted to the windows and the mirror glass, the bodywork
  is left dull, to great effect IMO...


A couple of words about the real Bugatti EB110
----------------------------------------------

* This exotic supercar was the fastest production car in the world at the time of its
  release in 1991. The name EB110 is in honor of the 110th birthday of Ettore Bugatti.
* You could get a new EB110 for approx. $300,000 USD. Due to lack of billionaires, the
  company went bankrupt shortly after the EB110 :-(
* The real thing reaches 60 MPH in under 3.5 secs, 125 MPH in 11.4 secs, and tops at
  214 MPH. The 1/4 mile is achieved in approx. 11 secs (estimated)

I've done everything I could to model and to tune the car as accurate as possible. I just
hope you appreciate the result, and if you do (or even if you don't), be sure to d/l my
next vehicle, a 2002 BMW 540i, as soon as it gets released. Also, thank you for reading
this text till the end :)
