Thats what I call a small city car! Only 5.612 mm :smiley: And super-practical for perpendicular parking suicide doors!

Now seriously that would be a good one for the city:

In fact i just a super-expensive (and in my opinion ugly) Aygo…

Please, no discussions (not even the friendly ones you are having) in the Introductions thread. It’s for what its name implies only :slight_smile:

Ok, sorry :wink:

I’m a obsessive gamer and secretly a petrolhead. I spend most of my time working and sleeping, but the rest is dedicated to gaming, that is, unless I’m on a track day (which happens rarely because it costs an arm and leg there).

I see cars everyday, working at trafficsignals can be very frustating in the winters, and when you see really nice cars. But in my free time I develop some electronic circuits, maintain my moped (from 86) or play with my 1:5 Scale modelcar with its own petrol engine.

How did you find us? Looking for a sequel to Car Tycoon on Google

About: Well about a year ago I was looking for games like SLR2 and Car Tycoon and found this project. Because I’m a big baby and it wasn’t finished, I unfairly dismissed it. Now I find the project again a year later and see just how far along its come! Pre-ordered instantly after that.

Also as a sidenote, When working in the garage to restore my old Minis I either listen to The Clash or covers/remixes of Sonic the Hedgehog songs and take regular breaks for a cuppa tea. My first check of the dev livestream and the first thing I hear is sonic music playing and one of the devs say “Back in a mo, going for a cuppa tea”. I feel this game is in very safe hands :slight_smile:

Looking forward to this game, only other game slightly related is Street Legal Racing: Redline (I guess a few of you have tried it?) so its nice for something new to come along!
Hope I get talking to you all some more, the more the merrier! :slight_smile:
