Thanks to               :  
                         I must first of all say a HUGE thankyou to a very nice guy named TEK_Xacto who Im sure you all know, he is the great car maker responsible for the w900s Truck. Without his help the fun factor of this car would have been greatly reduced. The low front spoiler on the front of the car hit evry kerb and bumb in the road. Tek was kind enogh to make me a custom bounding box  to aid collision dcetection and prevent the car hitting the kerbs. While this may take away some realism it greatly improves the driveability of the car so I feel this is forgiveable. He also gave me some help and advice on getting the multiple colours to work. Also a big thankyou goes out to Ian Munroe. He was the one who gave me the idea to do this car. he also provided me with the pictures that were used as textures and the sounds that were ued on the car. Thanks Ian :)   Finnaly thnaks to Paul_7 for giving me a small bit of advice of bits a pieces and others like him who helped me with little problems here and there. Thankyou to you all. Sorry if I have missed your name out, I still apreciate your help greatly.                              
                
                          

This car was created from scratch using Zmodler  and took about 3 months to complete. Slightly less than the Audi TT took. It includes :

1.Custom tunning
2.Custom sounds
3.Coneless headlights
4.Custom shaped lights
5.Four colours
6.Damage Textures
7.Vehicle selection screen sounds.
8.Software mode ( Must Download the software version of car)

Tuning wise it has realistic top speed (170 mph) and acceleration (0-60 in about 3 seconds) Whilst some might say 170mph is too fast this is in actual fact true. The real thing reaches a top speed of about 150mph on most tracks but it has to pottential to reach 170mph, therfore I tunned it at around the 170 mark. It can take a fair bit of damage as most people who watch the BTCC would agree so does the real thing :) I also added some grafiti by Jason Plato, again anyone who knows the BTCC will know that Plato is very often involved in collisions or often the cause of them ;) Still it does make for great entertainment. Finnaly you will be able to get this car to go round the corners at high speed. Just be smooth and gentle with the stearing and you can get to far out of shape. I find that using a joypad seems to be best, but I don't know for sure because I haven't got a steering wheel. Sorry the car is such a big download but the four colours are all high resolution 256x256 (the maximum Midtown allows) size textures so they are very large. I hope you will agree that the download is worth it. Besides you will only need to download it once in your life so what are you complaining about ;)

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS THE HARDWARE VERSION OF THE CAR AND WILL ONLY FUNCTION CORRECTLY USING HARDWARE MODE IN MIDTOWN MADDNESS. IF YOU WANT TO USE SOFTWARE MODE YOU WILL NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE VERSION OF THE CAR.

Next project: Not sure yet. It may be another touring car. Maybey a Vauxal or a Honda. You'll just have to wait and see.
