Oh wow! Thats super rare.

Atleast I think so, as that would have been imported in from Japan, where I think they are already rare over there. Thats probably the only one in Europe.

I really want to do that rally at some point! Those Daihatsu Terios (or however you spell it) seem to be a good choice to do it with though.

This could be a pretty cool game:

I got that (or rather 'backed' it through their website) a while ago. Its been cool to watch it grow up. It feels quite dated in graphics/UI but you can't fault the detail. I pre-ordered the v16 version, I'm very excited for that to come out. Its just a shame you can't drive the cars that you make, as my mini with a 6 litre inline 6 would have been a laugh to drive.

I think the core concept has great potential. I agree that the visuals do feel somewhat outdated and a physically based renderer would look lovely.

Hopefully as it develops we might be able to see rendering improvements. Test driving would be awesome though.

Yeah I'd say its worth a buy right now still though. Its still good fun, not something you can sink tonnes of hours into at once but not bad for the price.




This is adorable:

Oh cool .
I recently converted my standalone version to a steam version and its grown in size massively since I first downloaded it. Its great to see a game that I backed actually develop.

EDIT: Never mind fellas, I've sorted it. It's moisture that had started corroding the circuit board, bit of Alcohol and a rub down, good as new.

My mk 3 escort did the same, I swapped the cluster over from a scrap car, we changed the speedo so the mileage was right.

I don't think that would work in this case, as they have to be coded to the car.

How about something like this:

Worth a call.

New Cadillac. Quite like it excluding the goofy interior. Its part aluminium chassis too. reminds me a bit of a Jag.

Thanks dude, I sorted it, got the pure Alcohol out stripped it down and gave it a bloody good clean, good as new although the car did take up all my weekend free time.
