Hey Pops,

Your car will have to be a convertible to accommodate that hairstyle.

Alas I can only dream of the days when I had hair anything like that.   :'(

Cheers

Hey Pops,

Your car will have to be a convertible to accommodate that hairstyle.

Think of the drag co-efficient though. 

[popabawa]

Hey! That's my real hair!

<sigh> I wish, it's almost a buzz cut for me these days... 

[Jamera]

Hey! That's my real hair!

<sigh> I wish, it's almost a buzz cut for me these days... 

Lol, I reached the buzz cut stage a few years ago now 

[Truetom]

So, what's it gonna look like now? We gat one exec file an we install it, or do we get a list of downloadable files? Or are the links in the "deadline"  thread ready for download?

[picnic]

I'm sure poor old Rich is busy slaving away making a single file that contains all the cars as I type this. Multiple files from multiple sources will cause too many problems so expect a single file.

[Truetom]

Yeah, I was guessing Rich is making it. Great job, Rich, I appretiate your efforts. 

Just to be sure: would you guys recommend a fresh install of GTR and upgrade to 1.4?

[D Boyd]

Times are UK? or GMT now

[picnic]

Times are UK? or GMT now

Both UK is on GMT until last weekend in March

[Simon Gymer]

Yeah, I was guessing Rich is making it. Great job, Rich, I appretiate your efforts. 

Just to be sure: would you guys recommend a fresh install of GTR and upgrade to 1.4?

I'm not. I'm just removing my current addon cars and putting on the pack.
But then some of you may have hacked your GTR a lot more than me.

Skin pack is now available from this URL.

I have the following concerns over three specific cars.

Firstly, the HikiWaza Mosler and ZiP Lister are not using the UK prefix:

Code:

The Team Unpronouncable GT2 is using the correct UK249 number on its car file but number 75 internally. This doesn't appear to cause a problem with car selection (there is also a #75 GT3-RS) but might cause an issue when online (especially if somebody takes the GT3 with the same number).

Code:

The rest of the cars are fine:
